To stay on topic... I wore Frivole BTF ring and Clover bangle in this photo.
I love this ring/bangle combo. It's super casual and fun looking.

However, I usually wear sapphire jewelry with this outfit to highlight the ultramarine blue, which ultramarine comes from lapis.

Lapis and sapphires... @etoupebirkin!
This is actually for you and your fabulous Ludo bracelet and Verdura Lapis Candy ring!

This is the new Pucci Iride print. I love it, as it is such as bright happy geometric pattern.
I know you like Pucci leggings as well, so I wanted to share this print in case you were not aware. Your bracelet and ring would look gorgeous with this piece.

In case you might like these leggings, I ordered one size up from last year's legging fit. I tried on both the XS and Small, and I like the looser fit of the Small; this legging has a high waist.

One note, this pattern has a large repeat. This means each garmet is unique, you will not see two identical pieces. This also means you may get a legging where a swirl on your thigh or calf is not quite what you prefer. As FYI, I first ordered a XS and Small. I like the pattern on the XS, but not the Small (too many black swirls). Hence, I ordered a second Small, the legging I am wearing, and loved this pattern. The second photo shows both legs of the print I got.

The website pairs it with a cropped top, but I am wearing a white cotton sweater (@snnysmm White Emma).

I hope some of you might like VCA and Pucci together!

Hi Everyone!
It's almost Memorial Day here in the U.S., the unofficial start of summer!
Summer and travel jewelry boxes go hand in hand.

As many of you know, I'm a big fan of Wolf jewelry boxes and love love love the Maria cube and box for travel.
I caved and also bought the new Tangerine color in addition to the Mustard color I have. I thought I would post a photo of the new color in case any of you might be interested. Even though the color is called Tangerine, I would say it's more a bright Persimmon, a very happy color. I put VCA travel pouches in the jewelry boxes so you can see how perfectly they fit.

I got my new Tangerine Wolfs at NM during an EGC 25% promotion. Lo and behold, the same promotion is back, so I wanted to share. This promotion includes Wolf and Beauty. I love it when promos include beauty!
Two Wolf Maria boxes and some facial lotion/treatments (I vote La Mer) will definitely get you on your way to 25% off.
P.S. I stock up on La Mer when these promos come out. Best way to save on La Mer.

Wolf Maria at Neiman Marcus

Shop wolf maria at Neiman Marcus. Find the latest luxury fashions from top designers.

Oh, the interior of the new Tangerine color is also Tangerine as you can see. The interior of my Mustard is beige. Just a small detail to point out.

Hope some of you found this helpful.View attachment 5784519

I have my eyes on this gorgeous ring. All of my jewelry is YG so a bit concerned how the rose gold will look with all of my other pieces. My SA said he thought I could possibly order in YG. Has anyone ever seen this ring in YG? Any input would be appreciated TIA

Hi! I have not seen it in YG, but I can definitely visualize it. It will be gorgeous with your YG set.
I am a WG lover, and even then, I think VCA's YG & MOP is the best metal & stone combination. The YG they use is so intense, it just makes the MOP glow. The MOP used for their YG pieces is a very creamy white iridescent MOP with a drop of pink.

I agree with you on the RG. I would not get it in RG as RG next to your YG pieces will make the RG look coppery. If you had WG jewelry, the RG would stand out more as the WG is cool, and it would be a contrast to the RG.
However, with YG jewlery being so "yellow," those pieces will end up highlighting the yellow base in the RG therefore making it look coppery when worn together.

It's subtle, but if you have an eye for detail, you will see it. And with jewelry, once you see something, it's hard to unsee it.
People mix RG and YG, and mixing is fine. However, since you asked, I just wanted to share my thoughts so you can be on the lookout for that in case it bothers you.

I think a YG MOP combo would be gorgeous. Think of the classic Alhambra in YG MOP and then YG pave.

As FYI, I think in the MOP, VCA also earring that are two MOP butterflies (not one of each). Just FYI in case you are thinking of earrings. I kind of like the one of each as it's so unique. If you think you might want earrings, you may want to order them together to ensure they are approved and you can get a set.

Just my two cents. Hope that was helpful. Good luck deciding!

Yes, for sure. My guess is 31-34% range.

If that doesn’t float with you which I totally get, how about the yellow sapphire & diamond pave butterfly BTF ring? I ended up getting that one.

It has the YG that would match your YG jewelry. The diamonds are set in WG, so it really shows off the sparkle of the diamonds.

Just a thought.

Thank you @BigAkoya!!! I will definitely try on the yellow sapphire & diamond to compare prior to placing SO/MTO for the MOP
