Got the chance to try the butterfly pendant in white mop and first impressions - the pendant is stunning! But, it didn’t come home with me because I feel I have enough pendants at the moment that need to be worn more before I add another. I am done with necklaces in general for a little while. Also, tried on a couple of perlee bracelets. They were beautiful but not on my wishlist. I think I am done with bracelets too for a while. Sharing pics for anyone considering these pieces.

You sure you don't want that Butterfly? It looks so lovely on you!

Butterfly looks great on you. I vote buy it to make a set. I like the three row with the Clover too.

By the way, I like bangles too, wide ones, since I don't stack (can't deal with the jingle).
If you also like wide bangles, check out Buccellati next time you shop.
I love the width of their bangles, but I used to think Buccellati jewelry was too old world stuffy glamour for me; hence I always avoided this brand. I recently tried their bangles on again, and I think I'm in love with this brand. I showed my husband the bangle I tried on and asked if it's too old world stuffy glamour. He says "but you like that old world stuffy glamour look; it looks like other jewelry you buy." I was cracking up, and so yes, I do like that look! :nuts::heart:

Buccellati does mostly YG and RG, but most anything can be ordered in any metal.
Just FYI in case you might be interested. Their bold bangles are stunning to me.

Here is the link, scroll down a bit to see their wider ones: Bracelets | Buccellati Official

Back to the butterfly... I really think the necklace looks great on you, and I do not think it's a repeat necklace.
I love the butterfly ring and necklace pairing on you! Hope you reconsider. :hugs:

You know I love it on you but I think you know what is best. Quick question....have you ever tried the rg Carnelian Perlee open hinge bangle (like the yg Malachite above)? If one could find the perfect red I bet that would be spectacular! That's the challenge though isn't it? Finding a nice red..... That open bangle is really growing on me either in the Rg or Wg.

I need to check out Buccellati. Thank you for the recommendation @BigAkoya :hugs:.. haha your hubby knows you too well. Just when we think they don’t pay attention to what we love, they surprise you:biggrin:

I absolutely love the butterfly pendant and I know that one day I am going to add it but just not this year. This year, I have my eyes on pave hoop earrings to match my serpenti :hbeat:

Gosh @glamourbag you read my mind. I actually asked my SA for the perlee couleurs bracelet with the carnelian and she made me try the malachite one because they didn’t have any with carnelian. According to her, she has always seen the carnelian as being more orangish on this bracelet whenever it’s come to my store. She said she would keep an eye out for if they ever get this bracelet with a more darker shade of the carnelian. I love the matching ring too btw.
 
Im sure @eternallove4bag will end up with something spectacular whatever it is. She knows that pendant looks fabulous on her:biggrin: perhaps she will change her mind. @BigAkoya you make a solid point....I bet the earrings would be beautiful too
You are too sweet @glamourbag :hugs:you know this pendant will be mine one day. And, knowing how much I love matching earrings and pendant sets, I am probably going to cave in and get the matching earrings too at that point:biggrin:

The butterfly necklace is stunning on you. Another vote to add to your collection to go with your beautiful butterfly ring. I do like the 5 row Perlee on you as well.

Thank you @lvchanellvr I had never tried the butterfly pendant before so it was really great trying it out for the first time and realizing that this was a piece I can totally see myself adding in the future. Now, the plotting begins on which items to get and in which order :graucho:

I know what you mean about the plotting the next purchase.....I am doing the same. Which do I do first? :biggrin: I do get sidetracked and I have to knock some sense into myself and stick to my original plan/wish list items. I am intrigued with the Seoul limited edition pieces so I am waiting to see if it will arrive in North America (Hopefully, both the US and Canada will get these pieces). I am planning a store visit next month so hopefully, I will have more intel on any new upcoming releases.

I think it’s special, striking and not everyone has it which is quite appealing to me. If it comes with a more orange red than brown red then that sounds promising!!!!
