@Notorious Pink That's great to know! But the yg Magic pave earrings have not even been on the website for some time. Does your SA know why they are not on the site? So that means we can pay for those and get them eventually?

Hehe super cute @nightbefore my hubby is the same. Once the sticker shock wears off it’s more bearable for him but he still gulps a little bit every time I take him bag or bling shoppingBtw a funny story about this one, so I sent the last photo to my F to ask which one he likes the most. Not that I am anywhere near to buying the single row but I was just curious about his opinion. He thought it was my arm trying them onSo he asked if I bought both of them and I said no, it is not me. He said it looked very much like my wrist and asked if this was a hint for my upcoming bday
For sure, he has no idea about the price and what kinda trouble he put himself into but I just found it cute and silly

… was visiting my family after 3 years and it was so therapeutic. I wanted to be selfish and spend every waking hour with them without any diversions. I succeeded!Here's a tip... next time you take him jewelry shopping, show him high jewelry.Hehe super cute @nightbefore my hubby is the same.

Anything he sees after that is a bargain!
When I first got into bags years ago, he was like "that much for a bag?" Now he's like "what other colors are you getting?"
He has trained me too, but his technique is different than mine. He tells me a story of how rare/beautiful/one-of-a-kind the item he wants is. Then says, "but no, it's too much." Then he brings it up again a few days later with a puppy dog eyes and says "it is so nice, I would love to have it." Then I say "did you get it yet?" He has trained me too.
very cute couple! well, that's how couple learn from each other and grow together!Here's a tip... next time you take him jewelry shopping, show him high jewelry.

Thanks everyone for the advice! I initally was really leaning towards the socrate but after reading these I decided to go with the three flower lotus. I also think she would find the clip of the socrate hard to use, which would likely deter her from wearing it. I think the lotus is more her style compared to the frivole, although she does wear a RG pave mini frivole necklace and bracelet everyday. I personally prefer the frivole for myself but I am obviously much younger than my mom. She also tends to like things that arent as common to see and the lotus is certainly less common than the frivole!
I wasnt expecting to gravitate towards the three flower lotus but it is really beautiful, I think it has a lot more dimension than the single option, regardless of size.
@BigAkoya I got her the hammered RG VA pendant a while ago as a gift and she wears that every day! She really doesn't have a lot of fine jewelry so I thought it would be nice to give her something special that she could wear more frequently now that plays, broadway, restaurants, parties, events etc. are opening up again.

Nice! I'm so glad you still love Victoria!
I definitely think you should try on the VA pave earrings. You may fall in love. If you are not an earring person, you may find them a bit big. They will be huge compared to Victoria. You may also want to try on the Alhambra Sweets in pave just for comparison.
Finally, if I may share one more tidbit about Victoria...
When the Victoria line came out, it was all about love and romance. It is the most obvious in the Alternating Ring which is a bunch of Xs & Os (hugs & kisses). The SA back then told me it was hugs & kisses forever, for an eternity. Is that not super romantic and mushy? I love love love that ring and what it symbolizes! Victoria has since morphed to expand to nature and appeal to a broader audience. They now use the marquise to represent it as vines/leaves in their new pieces.
For me... I'm not buying this new theme... I'm sticking with the Xs & Os!
Here is the ring I am talking about: Tiffany Victoria® Platinum and Diamond Alternating Ring | Tiffany & Co.
Okay, I'll zip it now on Victoria.
Oh no! That’s the attack ring I have that hurts the neighbor fingers! I’m really curious if anyone else has this and is able to wear it comfortably. It’s lovely and I like it as an accent but ouch!
You are so cute! You may want to ask on the Tiffany forum as there is a lot of love for Victoria there.
I tried it on, and it felt fine. Of course that's like wearing it for 5 minutes, so it doesn't really count.
I love love love this ring, and if I ever start to wear band rings, this one is on my list of band rings to get!
The diamonds are so sparkly and gorgeous.
Maybe go to Tiffany and try on a new Alternating Ring. See if the new ring feels the same way your current ring. You will then know for sure. I wonder with your earring and ring issue if you may have gotten a bad batch. Maybe it was angled ever slightly off; hence, it's scratching your skin or something. Sometimes, being a tiny bit off matters.
I saw the Mother of pearl version. They had the pink sapphire and the turquoise too, but I don't think they would work for me....I would have liked to see the yellow sapphire just to make sure the mop is the right choice but it seems to be difficult to get hold of now.
