Default PLEASE HELP....Van Cleef & Arpels FRIVOLE decision!!!!
After viewing so many beautiful pictures, particularly Mishaagui's Frivole necklace, I have been inspired and am thinking about adding the pendant necklace and earclips in yellow gold to my collection. The earclips come in two sizes. The larger one is the same size as the pendant necklace (I believe) and the pendant necklace in yellow gold comes in only one size. I can't decide which earclips to choose.....would the larger size be "too much" and too floral-y or would the smaller size complement the pendant necklace better??? PLEASE HELP!!!! TIA.

hi ilikechloe! I'm am in the same dilemma as you.. I'm saving up for the ear clips but can't really decide on which size to get although I'm leaning towards the smaller one as i don't think i can carry the larger size.... but i really don't know!

anyone have modeling photos???

It* s a dilemma, ilikechloe, and i agree with you. Try to look here, we discussed Van Cleef & Arpels: buy without watching it.. - too risky?

And I think we all desperately need to ask Vancleef fan to take photo of her Frivole earrings on the ears to get final decision )))

Lady-flower.....Thank you SO much for posting those pictures! They are very helpful and sooooo mesmerizing. Do you know if the lady in the last picture is wearing the smaller clips? I can't seem to tell. Where's Van-cleef fan?????

Mishaagui: I'm glad we have the same delima. I do have to blame you partly though for inspiring me with the lovely pictures of your beautiful necklace. It looks absolutely stunning on you!

Hi ladies, I was on holiday and didn't have time to go online...
This pic is with the small ones

IMO the small ones are too cute but too small....I have small ear lobes and the large ones are perfect on me, I am sorry i tried to upload some pics but failed, I am soo bad with this,
If I had the pendant, I would get the small earrings to wear with it, IMO it's a bit too much to wear the large ones and the pendant.
The small earrings have 1 diamond in the center and the large ones have 3, just like the ring

Vancleef fan, hope you had good holiday !!
thanks for trying to post))! if you alredy have pic would you please send it to Anna.V.Novikova@gmail.com (so i can see it and post here for Ilikechloe and other girls)

because you know, i called to VCA boutique and they say that there are
3 diamond in each earring - in arge and in small, only size of diamonds different,
3 large diamond in large and 3 small diamond in small))))))))

i am totally confused, you have small earrings with 1 diamond, and they have both large and small earrings with 3 diamonds

Lady-flower: I got the same quote at VCA of US$3,050.00 for the pendant and $3550 for the small ear clips. I believe the larger clips were just a few hundred more ($3750???)....not a huge difference. The white gold version is much more (around $4300-$4500). BTW, Mashaagui, what are the prices in Asia???

TIA!
