And thank you for already giving me some advice on this subjectJust post here!
I love my blue agate and also look good in blues and greens. I was too late for lapis and now the only pieces are out of my price range. It truly has been the perfect color for me and I’m looking at adding some additional pieces, even if I have to special order. I’d recommend that stone. I am waiting on a more durable green because I can’t maintain malachite without worry.
I asked about alternating agate pieces SO and was told no, but I think it’s more due to the production backups, so I’ll ask again later.
Oh apologies. Didn’t understand it straight away. I tried different ways but didn’t take any pictures, only took pictures of what I liked so I could stay focused haha
Thank you, yes that is a very good point. No need to force it, if nothing seems quite right. I can always wait a year or so to see if blue agate alternating SOs requests start to be entertained. Like you, I was told previously that this would not be approved as a SO. I would guess that would change eventually since other BA SOs are being approved now. I also have a blue agate bracelet and will eventually add a 10 if alternating motifs continue to not be an option. I do have an alternating malachite SO request still floating around somewhere, I’m kind of hoping the request got lost because I damaged my malachite bracelet in the meantime and realized it is not the best stone for me in a bracelet. My SA says she will not sell me another malachite bracelet or ring, unless I wear it linked as a necklace, though I love the color. I would also really love for a green stone in the chalcedony family to be reintroduced.
Loving all the pics-thanks for the eye Candy! I agree with BigAkoya, the Frivole pieces in YG caught my eye most on you. Just don’t think you would ever tire of those pieces
Well that’s done then thanks to you ladies (you all confirmed my first choice)Loving all the pics-thanks for the eye Candy! I agree with BigAkoya, the Frivole pieces in YG caught my eye most on you. Just don’t think you would ever tire of those pieces
snowflake is all over my mind too though
I may be the minority but if it’s not so blingy, not in WG, then isn’t it more every day wearable? I loved the pics of @so_sofya1985 in the yg frivole For that rEason
@so_sofya1985 , maybe if you tried the 20 on bare skin, like a deep v neck?
does anyone have an action pic of the hellabore ring?

I found some photos on social media!!! It is so so beautiful! It's going to be my next ring! I think most people think the ring is butt ugly, but to me, it is the most beautiful ring! If it's ok to repost the photos I found on social media, I can do that and post them here, but I don't want to get busted, banned, or worse, I get the evil eye and posters are mad at me.
I will certainly state the photos are not mine.But wow wow wow... I showed my hubby the photos of the ring, and he said... "hey honey, that's cool, they make a BLUE flower ring"
And the best part... hubby likes the ring too! I have at at least one other person who likes it!

it seems others post social media pics all the time, IDK?
is the one you like the lapis, diamond; the lapis turquiose; or the turquiose diamond? Are there three different hellebore rings? perhaps I’m confused
@BigAkoya, on the VCA sites, it’s gorgeous on the stunning, young model, but it seems very flat. . .

This is the ring, it's the lapis one. I love turquoise, but I'm not crazy about turquoise and MOP together on the other ring:

And a bonus... on the VCA website, the video matches Hellebore with the Lotus earrings!
I read on social media the person who purchased the ring said it was a limited release, so maybe that's why you don't see many people own this ring. Or, it could be most people just think it's butt ugly!
But all that matters is for one person to love and tuck it in to snuggle in a cubby hole. That would be me!
I am with you on the yg frivoles. I went with yg pave cause it is more everyday wearable to me. The RG would be same. I wear a lot for work. The wg looked better on me but I knew I would wear yg more. Now I am searching for a wg pave piece and lost still…
Hellebore is supposedly the blingy version of Rose de Noel, the Christmas Rose, with diamonds added. This is the article I read:it seems others post social media pics all the time, IDK?

Perhaps people are not crazy about it bc it references a vintage style? I would say, give it time and people will grow to love it, just as they do rose de NoelAnello Hellébore - VCARP7EO00 - Van Cleef & Arpels

Hellebore was just launched Nov 2020, and only with a few pieces. Now you make me wonder if they will add a few more pieces this Winter 2021.
I tried one on at the boutique, but it was super tiny, and it did not fit over my knuckle. The ring was already sold to a client, but my SA brought it out for me to see as he knows I like big rings. I didn't take a photo at the time as I didn't really love the ring, and I wanted to respect the fact the ring was already sold to a client. I remember it being very big, a lot of finger coverage for sure.
Noeud is calling you. It's so beautiful, and your hands were made for it. That bow would just float on your slender fingers.
