Love the 3 row on you. I also feel like you are a wow jewelry woman. I do not find frivoles wow. I love it and plan to own it in yg but it is not wow to me, even in wg. I see you wearing the bird of paradise ring (discountinued) or something similar. I would wait for vca to release something new in the future.
The Magic design is a simple design, a big four leaf clover basically. It is not an artistic design like Frivole or Lotus.
That's just my thoughts of course.
Have you tried Hellebore in Lapis? You are my hand model as all rings look good on your beautiful, long, slender fingers!
These look really bold and elegant on you! Gorgeous, both the bling and you!
I am in the it is so ugly camp. I have seen some of the pieces in person and it did not change my opinion. The two rings I have on my list are pave frivoles in yg and the noeud. I picked the lotus over noeud for my anniversary gift but I still absolutely love that ring.Have you tried Hellebore in Lapis?

I thought this ring was so ugly when it first came out last year, but I am in love with it now.

I liked it but not loved it, maybe because it felt small - my hands are quite large so it kind of got lost...
Oh I love your pictures! But I have to say I disagree on the purchase of items just to complete the set. I have done so in the past and they ended up in the safe never being worn!The Magic design is a simple design, a big four leaf clover basically. It is not an artistic design like Frivole or Lotus.
However, Magic is not about the design. The beauty of Magic is all about screaming the big VCA logo. I think if you look at the Magic BTF ring in that view, you will love it. It's not a “look at this piece of art” ring like Lotus or Frivole. It's “look at my blingy VCA ring.”
I personally feel Magic BTF is a perfect match if you want to make a set. Often times, I buy pieces to make a set even though I don't love the piece by itself (e.g. the Lotus earrings are a good example). Sometimes the set is more beautiful when worn together than the individual pieces, and when I wear them together, I love love love the set. Hence for me, it is worth buying a piece I may not love to create a beautiful set. I go for the overall blingy effect, not just the individual piece. I hope that made sense.
Try wearing it on your fourth ring finger. I personaly prefer it on the fourth finger as I think large clovers next to the fourth ring finger and pinkie will make the ring stand out more. Plus, the hand is more angled toward the fourth and pinkie fingers, so it may not look so flat as it does not sitting right in the middle of your hand.
For me, if I had your earrings, I would buy the Magic BTF ring to make a gorgeous set. A bracelet is nice, but anyone can wear a bracelet. However, not anyone can wear a nice blingy ring. Make that statement is what I say! Go for the blingy ring.
Lastly, on your other post on Frivole WG, I posted some modshots somewhere in this forum... I can't find them to paste the links here, so please allow me to repost here for you to make it easier to find.
In the first photo, I had already purchased the ring and earrings, and I was at VCA to try on the Very Large pendant and bracelet to find a third piece. To me, the bracelet does not look good with the ring (see the photo). I felt the braclet took away from the ring, and the bracelet gave too much of a dainty/delicate look. That was just me, but you may like the bracelet with it. Hope these photos excite you to go back to VCA and try on the WG pieces!
I hope this helps. Can't wait to see your next pieces!

That’s what my SA said!Girl!! Without reading the other posts, I have to jump in here and say why am I not surprised that you love the 3-row pave bracelet?!!
Is that on your wish list now? that's sooooo YOU!!
Do you have any other pics of that? Your pic makes me want it soooo bad!!
I just googled the bird of paradise and it is SO me! You nailed my taste haha
Girl preach! Your words stayed with me I swear! Now unless the jewellery speaks to me in volume (Tolstoy War and Peace size lol) I pass. I have way too much in my safe that isn’t being worn
YG Pave Frivole to me is not the same as WG Pave Frivole. The eye sees both the YG and the diamonds, hence the look is more a gold jewelry piece with diamonds. YG is also a more casual look (e.g. high jewellery is almost always in platinum or WG). With WG Frivole, the WG takes a backseat and all you see are diamonds, so it's more an all diamond piece, and it's super blingy. Similar to your WG Magic earrings, all you see are the diamonds, and the metal takes a backseat.
Frivole to me is bold elegance which I love. The petals are three dimensional, it is a pure work of art, it is just a stunning piece.
Magic pave to me is more in-your-face logo wow. While the design is simpler, just a four leaf clover, it screams VCA.
The two are very different looks, yet they both make statements.
If you can love WG, I would choose the WG Frivole pave set over the YG. Maybe try on both again.
I just received my Lotus earrings, so I just posted photos in the Action Thread of my Frivole set with my Lotus set so you can see and compare those.
I would love to see Hellebore on real fingers!
Why does that happen? We try something and immediately hate it and then time passes and it grows on us....Have you tried Hellebore in Lapis? You are my hand model as all rings look good on your beautiful, long, slender fingers!
