Extremely lucky and successful trip at vendôme today! ordered the porcelain earrings in July ‘22. The others happened to be in stock :biggrin::heart::love::loveeyes:
No more shopping in Paris for me…:angel:

edit: they all came with travel pouches too! so maybe they are keeping the old packaging.

Tried my best with some mod shots! Very hard to capture the variation in color for the porcelain. Same thing with the mop iridescence and the tigers eye chatoyance. The diamonds on the butterfly definitely shine more in real life! I let my friend borrow the pendant tonight and she wore a black high neck top which really let it pop and shine, especially in lower light.

Wow what a beautiful collection! Congratulations! I’m going to Paris in 2 months, I’m dying for a Vendome pendant. Any pro tips for me? I don’t have any SAs there so I don’t know where to start!

Thank you! To be honest, when I got mine, it was August 2021. No one was in Paris and they had stock because of that. I didn’t ask about the pendant this time and had to put a deposit down for the earrings in July (these were made to order apparently). Then needed to come here to pick them up. I can DM you more information that may be helpful.

Congratulations on your pieces! Everything looks beautiful on you!
I see a butterfly ring in your future! :biggrin::heart:

I'm thinking the WG diamond pave and yellow sapphire butterfly ring would like nice with the pendant. It might also work with the earrings due to the golden hue of the tiger's eye (you'd have to see if the it's the same golden yellow vs. a lemon yellow or bronze). Of course, there is always the matchy matchy MOP & tiger eye ring. I am sure you will find a way to drown yourself in butterflies!

I agree with you on the Butterfly collection and other non-Alhambra collections. It's more stealth, but IYKYK.
I forgot if you have anything Frivole (you have so much! :nuts::heart:), but I think the WG Frivole pave (earrings or BTF ring) would be beautiful with your WG pave butterfly.... the classic VCA Flora & Fauna theme.

Congrats again! What a fabulous haul!

You are rocking those earrings. Each has a different yet fabulous vibe and both look equally amazing on you. So sweet of you to lend the pave butterfly to your friend. She will get addicted quickly. Congratulations again on so many stunning additions to your collection.
