@glamourbag The one on the bottom of the pic is gorgeous!! Do they have that in white gold? Yes, you're right. Quite feminine, yet still clean looking. And of course, that WG perlee clover looks absolutely amazing on you.

Thank you!!! You are too kind! They did not have the Liens Seduction in WG in stock at the time, but I do believe it is to come back into stock soon. I know the rose gold was approx $44,000 Canadian and I believe the WG is $47,000 but with the exchange rate it would be a lot cheaper for you to buy from Canada if you are based in the US. https://www.maisonbirks.com/en/chaumet-liens-seduction-white-gold-diamond-pave-bracelet-083223 It also comes in two other versions as well: https://www.maisonbirks.com/en/chaumet-liens-seduction-white-gold-diamond-half-pave-bracelet-083228 and https://www.maisonbirks.com/en/chaumet-liens-seduction-white-gold-diamond-bracelet-083226
The website shows the online store may not have them currently but if you call the Toronto store they could check in house stock.
I do have to admit as beautiful as it is, for that price range, I would prefer another Clover or even the BTF Cosmos ring.
Wow, you're right. That is pricey. And yeah, for that cost, I would get the perlee clover. Interesting it's priced so high. You would think they would reduce it to try to grab some rev share. It's a nice design.
Tried on some Graff pieces. Here is the large three butterfly ring and the large Tilda’s Bow ring. The SA was kind enough to offer her hands for mod shots. I was hoping I would love Tilda’s Bow to be honest.
@glamourbag FYI as you were interested in Tilda’s Bow as well. This large size ring is not on the Graff website.

EEEEEKKK Oh my goodnessI You are a gem! Thank you SO much for posting these! Yes, I am on the other side of the country from our only store so seeing them in person will be hard but I am so interested to try these. What did you think of them? I'm open to honest opinions!
I thought I would love Tilda’s Bow from the online photos. I was hoping to get a bow ring in WG as the Neoud ring has YG which is a no for me.
Overall, the collection is very pretty and very feminine. To me, it is dainty, and I wanted something bolder, so I didn’t love it as I thought I would. If you like dainty, this is it! The design is very three dimensional which I love. There are matching earrings too! This large bow ring is nice, but I think mentally, I was thinking like jumbo size, as the Noeud ring is.
The design is very well done, and if you decide to get multiple pieces, I like how the pieces complement and are not exact matches. The earrings looked gorgeous.
I like the three butterfly ring too. This is the large one. There are also matching earrings. On this collection, I felt it looked almost like flowers and not butterflies, and I have enough flower rings for now. I’m still thinking about the large Tilda’s Bow ring. It’s just not a “big” as I hoped for. I think it’s because the center of the bow is small, unlike Neoud which is just big all over. I hope that made sense.
I hope that helps.
Yes this helps because I was hoping it might have had a similar effect too! I know Tiffany has bow rings but they are tiny and unimpressive to me so as far as something substantial I was thinking this could be it. I can’t think of any other place to look. I think then I will wait until I’m by a graff (prob within the year once our border opens unless I go west before that). Perhaps it will sing to me in person. I’m glad to hear it’s well designed and looks decent just not necessarily big enough. I certainly my agree the butterfly ring looks more floral to me and for sure what you have trumps this! I guess the search continues- that’s part of the fun! Thank you so so so much for posting. I saved the pics and will be looking better at them this evening but your opinion and assessment is greatly appreciated!
I tried on the Tiffany Bow collection too! The Tiffany bow design is a perfect bow to me! The ring though was like kid's jewelry to me.
Okay... so... if you had tried on Tiffany and had on expectations from Noeud, I think you may like Tilda's Bow. It is so much more substantial than Tiffany, and it is very artistic. I like the Large ring shown, and it is a lot bigger than the smaller one that is online (the large one is not online, I'm not sure why). You can see it's wide, it covers over the side fingers. It is not as tall and "puffy", like a real bow though, probably for wearability.
I think if you want something wearable daily, you will like Tilda's Bow. I had in my mind a huge round bow on my finger.
I actually love the Tiffany bow, the one with the four loops. The Tiffany bow is the perfect bow to me... see how each loop is perfectly angled, four perfect loops showing the top and underside of the ribbon, both sides with diamonds! And the loops are designed to appear to cross over. The ribbon tails are exactly opposite each other, just as it would look in real life if you tied a real bow! And it's "puffy" too! This bow is the PERFECT bow to me! They just need to supersize this ring because it is so tiny, and of course the price point reflects that.
Here is a photo of the Tiffany bow ring I'm talking about. It looks huge here in the photo, but in real life, it's micro-size (I tried it on this week too in NYC). But what a perfect bow! Stare at it... look at the ribbon and how they twist, like one continuous ribbon. I can almost visualize myself tying and making that bow. It's perfection to me.
how do y’all feel about contemporary brands? there have been quite a few pieces i’ve been considering for various brands, but for the price, i could buy something from vca or another luxury house that’s been around much longer and is more classic. just scared i’ll buy a piece and the brand will go under or something in a couple of years 
the rose gold earring version of these are so gorgeous and feminine as well! https://www.tiffany.com/jewelry/earrings/tiffany-bow-ribbon-earrings-36945508/
i’ve been really liking tiffany pieces recently, although i wasn’t really a fan before. loving this ring, i tried it on in store the other day

I love the bow, it's just so tiny.
Yes! I agree with you on T1. I was not a fan when T first came out (looked kind of logo-y to me), but I like T1; it's growing on me. The T1 collection to me looks much better in real life than online. I like the diamond bangle that matches the ring you like. It also comes in RG.

speaking of tiffany, i’ve been really liking these brooches recently, but are the tiffany key motifs too dated?
i really like that you can wear it as a pendant as well.

For me, I would pass. I've been down that path and no longer own any midtier brand piece e.g. Roberto Coin, Kwiat, Hearts On Fire, Pomellato (well, I still have my Hearts on Fire diamond studs, but they are studs, so does that count?how do y’all feel about contemporary brands? there have been quite a few pieces i’ve been considering for various brands, but for the price, i could buy something from vca or another luxury house that’s been around much longer and is more classic. just scared i’ll buy a piece and the brand will go under or something in a couple of years
). That said, I would only get it if you really love a specific style (e.g. the Kwiat star). I would not get it if you are trying to save money and trying to get a similar luxury brand book. I would just save up for the luxury brand piece. For example, if you really really really love a Roberto Coin style, get it. Otherwise, get a VCA (some of his pieces are definitely VCA inspired anyway).
And yes...I agree with you... these brands are hot today, but maybe not tomorrow. Not really gone, but no longer the fashionable midtier brand people flock after.
But, if you really really really love a certain piece, go for it.
Jewelry is all about pleasure. Forget resale value, forget what's popular, forget what others like.
The only important thing about jewelry is that whatever you buy, it should put an ear-to-ear smile on your face. That is the true value of jewelry for me... pure enjoyment.
