Yes, you are right. The turquoise two butterfly rings are available on US website in various sizes. There are also 2 lapis two butterfly rings available in smaller sizes as well.
Tried this on, fell in love….definitely on my list for next year:
No bias here….but love it!!! What would you pair it with??
Um…everything??!?
My Love has both pg and wg (you can see it in the photo) so it’s a natural match. And I have plenty of pg pieces (although I wear PG on my wrist/hand with YG on my ears/neck all the time).
Thank you!!!
I have asked about these and apparently there are possibly none in the US. One SA told me she hasn't seen a pair in a couple of years.
A couple of years! Wow that is disappointing. Did the SA tell you why this is so scarce?
There has been a low supply ever since Covid started with shut-downs of workshops, etc. Demand was still high during Covid and they have not nearly caught up with resupplying boutiques. Due to the shortage, there was higher number of special orders and even orders placed for regular stock during that time and continuing now. So it might be another year before boutiques are restocked at a normal supply, and that is if there are no more shutdowns.
I understand, I have been told that was well. I suppose it's much more of impact than I thought, it seems the less expensive Frivole pieces are not being produced as I see the more expensive ones available online.
FWIW when I bought the large frivole earrings years ago I was told they were the only pair in the US. But it's been way more than two years, so surely more have arrived in the meantime. I wonder if there just isn't that much demand for them, which would also explain why they aren't being made. It makes sense for VCA to focus on making the more expensive pieces, followed by the cheaper and higher volume pieces. These don't cost much more than a 5 motif or a magic pendant IIRC (not sure tbh), but are probably less in demand. I can definitely see that they'd focus on making say pave pieces that are more $$ and sweets or the small frivole pieces or 5 motifs that are very popular and they can sell way more of, so make up for w volume.
That said, these are tremendous earrings and depending on how you style yourself when you wear them can either look fun and casual or formal. Some of my favorites! I posted on the H forum that I lost one due to either a mask strap or distraction when buying some earrings at the Madison Hermes last fall and I was running around the store like a madwoman, only comforted by the fact that they're insured so I figured I could just get a replacement if I didn't find it. Little did I know! Thank goodness I did find it -- I wear these pretty frequently and would have been devastated if I'd lost them to find out I'd have to wait years to replace!!!
