I have been wearing my carnelian 10 motif with the large yg frivoles. This week I went to the boutique and tried on the carnelian earrings. The SA turned to me and said that MUST be my next purchase. I would absolutely wear the earrings together with the 10 (or 20, if I had that). It's certainly good to mix and match, but it's also good to wear a set. I have seen blondes wear sets in yg/mop and ladies with black hair wear onyx sets and I just looooooove that look, where the set compliments the hair color.

BBC, my hair is dark and I am more olive in complexion and I have stayed away from any dark stone around my face, including the much loved Malachite.

I think when next I am in a boutique, I will try the Onyx and see how it looks.

Violet Bleu, I would wear the earrings and pendant together too! I tend to like things that are "sets." I think wearing Vintage Alhambra earrings and a matching 10 or 20 motif might be overkill, but the pendants are so small anyway. In fact, when I was in the VCA in Rome, one of the beautiful Italian SAs was wearing the onyx/yg pendant and matching earrings along with just a simple white top and black pants. She looked so chic that I wanted to emulate her whole look!

Glad to know I'm not the only one! I actually just purchased the Vintage Onyx earrings and couldn't think of any pendants I had at home that would complement them, so I purchased the matching pendant. It's a really sharp look, and I love it!

Please do try it - you never know what may work! You do have a good point about skin tone, that does make a difference. I am fairly pale (so much so that I used the Jergens "healthy glow" moisturizer - the one for fair skin - for *two* days and three people asked me if I had gotten a tan![emoji51][emoji51][emoji51])

I am not complaining - I have a natural tan with no help from Jergens [emoji23]

The sad part is that everyone in my family - my parents, my children, my husband - all get lovely tans. I look at a picture of the sun and I burn!

My husband and my dad have coloring similar to yours, I think, and both look good in black (ha ha I really don't!) so I think onyx has the potential to be awesome on you. [emoji177]

Hadassa, I actually think that darker colors can look even more spectacular against darker complexions than light ones, so definitely try the onyx and malachite earrings next time! I have a feeling you will be pleasantly surprised! I have light, rosy skin with freckles and I can't wear dark earrings at all. I look best with gold or diamond earrings, imo.

Thank you kimi and Lisa - after purchasing this Pendant, I haven't dipped my feet into the LEs as yet.

I was reading an article on Dailymail that said as we get older, we should stay away from darker stones around the face because it's too harsh and aging.

I will try them though when next I am on a continent with VCA [emoji1360]

I'm told by my SA the holiday pendant stone will be a dark colour and not WG..... but since last year's was onyx, I wonder what other "dark" colours there are ....
