Ok not to totally hijack but I am too heavy for stripes; so what's a more slimming but easy cotton t shirt?

I think it depends on what suits your skin tone the best. Are there any rose good pieces available (even from other collections) for you to try on? I tried the all diamond Frivole in both yellow and rose gold. The yellow gold suited my skin tone better, so I went with that, but until I saw it in person, I thought the rose gold would be better for me.
@kvitka4u if you can, I would say please don’t make your final choice without trying all the different metals. Some love YG, some love WG and others RG (like moi
) so it’s a very personal preference. And our love for certain metals are driven by how it looks on our skin tone. For example, VCA WG on me looks meh! I love RG because it’s the perfect balance between the two extremes of YG and RG and on my skin tone it looks subtle and just right, at least to my eyes. Don’t let your decision be driven by our individual preferences because each of us are unique and like different things. Go with what sparks joy in you. The moment you put it on, you should feel a high that no other piece can give you. At these crazy price points, the piece we buy should be the one that tugs at our heart strings, constantly and persistently. So, my two cents, try both and see which one you feel drawn to instantly.
@A bottle of Red haha count me in. I can’t wear stripes either for that reason. I mostly wear solid colored T-shirts or blouses and if I have to add a splash of print, I throw on a colorful shawl or scarf
… I have made my peace that stripes and I will never see eye to eye 
I think this looks fabulous on you - super sparkly and eye catching! But I would try on and compare different options first because maybe you'll find one that you like more.

Buy the more expensive one first, which is probably the diamond pave. It looks lovely, it sound like you like it better, and with these price hikes it will only become more expensive.
So a relative of mine is a bit puzzled, she got the onyx pave 2 motif earrings & paid a higher price than the one currently listed on the website.
(She bought them a year ago)
Is it possible prices went down since then?

During one of the most recent price adjustments the 2 motif earrings did go down in price. June 1, 2021. I will let those with that specific combo speak to the exact amount.

Yep, I had a similar experience in zurich, now I have a checklist when buying, receipt, insurance certificate, authenticity card, travel pouch. All that checking to do when parting with thousands…..
Clarifying - do you receive an insurance certificate with each purchase? I have received a pouch, authenticity card, and receipt for all of my purchases, but this is the first I've heard of a separate insurance certificate. Thanks!
Ive only received an insurance certificate when I asked about it, and it was for a watch. She did say they can do them for any piece though on request, but typically it is only for higher valued pieces.
thank you @glamourbag, @missie1 , @BigAkoya , I’m waiting for my Bulgari SA to bring it in
@Happyish , agree re this is the one to prioritize; the buton d’or is still on the list
@kvitka4u , one of my tests is not wanting to take something off, but I agree with @eternallove4bag that you should try on all the different metals. I will say that I personally need to take action shots to review when I get home, bc sometimes the item I think is the best in the store is not what I end up obsessing about
@kelsenia , we typically only insure current pieces for the value on the receipt which is accepted by Jewelers mutual / Chubb. May I ask is there another reason for a separate insurance certificate? Does it function like an appraisal? Thanks in advance!
