Wow. Thank you
@waterlily112. This link is truly helpful and I am redefining my earring wishlist. Having all of the earrings weights listed has essentially helped me eliminate all of the magic line and focus on vintage size and small frivole only. I love my mini frivole earrings because I don't feel them on but I know they don't have the presence of the small.
@BigAkoya I have the WG small pave frivoles still on my wishlist and now reconsidering the YG MOP earrings with the pave Alhambras!
Hi! You have some nice choices!
For me, I would 100% get the YG MOP. The biggest plus is you can wear it with your 6 motif. I love sets, especially around the face. On days when I dress like a slob, jewelry sets just bring everything together and make a quiet statement.
For the next piece... I would get the WG Frivole pave earrings. They will sparkle like crazy. The design is gorgeous, a true piece of jewelry art (vs. another clover pattern). To me, there is no other VCA pave stud earring that sparkles like the WG Frivole pave. I have the Lotus earrings, and they definitely do not pop as much. The VA pave earrings diamond are so tiny you can barely see them; you mostly see metal.
Third choice... the VA pave earrings would be choice, mainly because it's very metal heavy, and I'm not a fan of wearing just "metal" jewelry. I prefer diamond or gemstone jewelry. That's just me, and jewelry is 100% preference.
The only reason I would get the VA pave earrings is to make a set. Let me explain to share some thoughts...
I like sets, and I have the WG Clover, I often wear the WG Clover with a gemstone (e.g. emerald, sapphire, ruby) ring and matching earrings. However, there are times when I just want to wear the gemstone ring without the gemstone earrings, something more simple. During these times, I wish I had earrings to match my Clover bangle, and in this case, the WG pave earrings would be a perfect match. I have thought about getting the WG pave earrings just to match my Clover. I may cave one day as I did with buying the Lotus earrings just match my Lotus ring.
I share this with you to think about how you will wear your VA pave earrings if you like sets. Do you have a Clover bangle or other pave piece? It would look great together. Of course, if you don't like sets and just wear pieces randomly, then it does't really matter.
And by the way, this is why I think the YG MOP earrings would look fabulous with your 6 motif. What a gorgeous set, but again, I like sets of at least two pieces matching but no more than three. For me, if I am wearing a necklace, my earrings always match the necklace. I feel it gives the eye a nice flow to frame the face.
Final thought...
You can also sell your WG guilloche earrings given they are heavy for you. My ears are super sensitive and my piercing is low, and I have learned through the years what to avoid. I do not wear large stud earrings (e.g. Magic) or heavy dangling earrings (e.g. Snowflake). I also always have to have VCA adjust my earrings (e.g. thinner posts, looser tension, bottom post opening).
I had a pair of ruby earrings. They were big and super gorgeous, but they were super heavy too! Every time I wore them, by the afternoon, my ears hurt. Sometimes my ear piercing would bleed as well. This would then impact the earrings I could wear the next day as I needed to let my ears heal (such drama!). I began to dread wearing these ruby earrings, and in time, I barely wore them. I sold them, and it was a great decision. I felt relieved as they were just sitting in my jewelry box, and jewelry is meant to be worn.
Think about how you plan to wear all these earrings (including comfort level), and which ones will work with your jewelry pieces.
Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to share some thoughts in case it might help you decide. Good luck!
. My onyx yg Alhambra are extremely light. The pave rg Alhambra to me were a little heavier than the onyx but I can still wear them all day. I'll need to try the guilloche one of these days !
