Hi,
I recently got Lotus earrings small in WG. This is my only WG piece and I am wondering what could go well with the earrings and also suit my skin tone. I tried magic pave pendant in WG a while back and found it was unflattering due to too much contrast on me. I also don’t wear rings.
Just wearing one of the earrings as a pendant to see how the matching pendant would be and I am not sure I like this.
Any thoughts on what would go with the earrings? Thanks!

The earrings sit so well on you! Gorgeous! The matching pendant would look nice. If I were to get earrings I plan to get a tennis necklace to wear as I am not a set person.

YES to the pendant! The earrings look great and the pendant is an added touch. It isn't over the top and instead looks elegant.

I recently purchased the 3 motif gold earrings. I absolutely love them, however, the gray magic motif (left earring) has a dark inclusion on the stone. I asked my SA about it and he does not think it’s a big deal (he was kind about it).
Would this bother you? I’d love your perspective - Please help :)
Stunning earrings but yes it would bother me tbh

Stunning earringsCongrats!
I love the inclusion in the GMOP, it adds to its character. But if it bothers you exchange for a different one.

Personally, I would prefer if both had either no inclusion or an inclusion but since one has and one hasn't I can see why you're a bit torn.
 
So I went back to the boutique and tried all three rings again (albeit single row in RG as my SA didn’t have in YG yet). I have come to a decision!
First of all, I decided that whichever ring I get, I do want to wear it on my right ring finger rather than on my middle finger. This rules out the single row as I just can’t unsee it as a wedding ring when worn on this finger.
So, after much deliberating between the original clover and the sweet, I have decided on the original clover ring! My initial thoughts that it was too chunky changed the more and more I tried it on. I went back and forth between the two rings and the more I ‘got used’ to the look of the original, I just love it so much. I have quite long fingers and it just has a bit more presence than the sweet and the design is just so amazing :love: I have always loved the original clover and can’t believe it will be mine!
Next dilemma was sizing… I tried a 54 and a 53, both were comfortable and at first I was leaning towards the 53 as I am so paranoid that the 54 might fall off. I think I’ve now decided on the 54 though to allow for swelling (I was trying on in an airconditioned store but I live in a tropical climate). I would also be worried that my knuckles might get bigger with age… is this a sensible decision?

Love this! Perfect decision! It looks fabulous and I am so happy for you!

@innerpeace85, I love your earrings and think they look great on you! ! I think honestly, you can wear them with anything. Just think of them like larger diamond Studs.

@kstropp, +1 with @innerpeace85, and I like that they are unique. But, of course, if it bothers you, exchange :smile:
 
Hi all, i wonder if you can help - I normally buy my items in Paris and living in the UK, can now claim duty free tax (as UK is now out of EU). We are heading to Dubai very Soon. My question is - are Dubai prices cheaper than French prices and if so, by how many %? I think I can claim 5% tourist tax back. And where is the best place to get VCA? Thank you!

not at all. it's the look of MOP. I assume you're talking about the stripe. In fact, I like it and it makes it look more interesting, less flat. But of course it depends on your preference.

I like stones with character so I find the inclusion interesting. But it might bother me if when worn you easily see that one side has an inclusion and other doesn’t.
