Very personal decision.I honestly have not tried them on. But something about the chain between I just don't love. If the motifs were closer together I probably would be more drawn to the 2 motif. Do you think the 3 motif is too dressy and the 2 motif can be worn more everyday? I am 5'9" have long hair and I think I could pull off the 3 motif. I just don't like the 3 different stones mixed together. This is why I think a 3 motif MOP would be perfect. I really need to go and try both styles on and see how they look worn.
A friend insisted that I borrow her three motif earrings for dinner one night and I find them very dressy.
I really prefer these long earrings with hair pulled back so I may not be the best person to offer an opinion.
