I received mine a few weeks ago! Much faster than expected.
Update, my SA text me and my Lotus earrings arrived! I ordered them June 9, so it took exactly 8 weeks. They are off to being adjusted before he sends them to me which will add 2-3 weeks.
Inventory seems to be coming back. Yippee!

Can’t wait to see them. Which size? My SA said the Fall should be better but hopefully the delta variant doesn’t derail this.
I bought the small ones. I've never even seen them live so I can't tell you how they fit (or even how they look in real life
). I am sure they will be fine. I have the Frivole pave earrings, and my SA said they were similar in size (the medium he felt was too big for my ear) and recommended the small.My ring has a buddy, finally! It was really annoying me I did not have a matching piece to wear with my Lotus ring.
I hoping more inventory will come back too!
I want this same one and am so bummed it’s been unavailable for so long.
Hi, I do not like to use silicon discs and any other "stuff" to "make it work". They are not comfy on you because they do not fit properly. For me I want the piece to fit perfectly, so I get a real adjustment. This is true with all my jewelry, rings, bracelets, etc.
Another person had earring issues also, so I responded to her. There are basically three things to look for a perfect fit when it comes to earrings: 1) the tightness of the clip 2) the thickness of the post, and 3) the length of the post. For me, I had issues with #1 and #2. They clips were too tight. The post was too thick and it caused my ears to hurt. My length was fine.
Here is an excerpt that summarizes what I recommended that person do to check her earrings for a perfect fit.
I also posted the link my original longer response. Hope this helps. For me personally, I would not want to go through life wearing silicon disc. What a hassle and even though no one sees it, I would see it and it's not attractive. I'd adjust them. For you, it sounds like the clip is too tight which my SA told me is a very common problem. Easy fix.
Here is an excerpt from the longer post (link to full post below).
These are the three things you should look for and then talk to customer service about adjusting:
- Check the tightness of the clip: Is it squishing your ear too much that you feel it? Get the clip loosened.
- Check the post thickness against your ear piercing: Is your ear piercing sensitive/sore/bleeding after wearing? Get thinner posts.
- Check the length of the post: Is the post sticking out the back of the clips? If yes, perfect. If no, you need longer posts.

VCA ~ Van Cleef Arpels Discussion thread!
I know what you mean by onyx being "angry". I have had my 5 motif onyx YG bracelet for 4 years now . I like atleast 2 pieces in the same stone to form a set and I have been trying to find something to go with the bracelet for a long time. I have tried vintage and magic earrings onyx, 10 motif...forum.purseblog.com
This was a wonderfully detailed response. Would VCA earrings be able to be worn without the posts?
I love earrings but can’t wear them anymore because of an allergy. I’ve tried all kinds of metals and gold purifies but my ears have been like “nope” for everything.
I am so glad to hear the post was helpful. Sometimes I think I get carried away with my long responses boring people to death.
Yes, you can absolutely wear them as clips! They can take out the posts, and then you may want to adjust the tension so they are snug, but not squishing your ears to death. If you wear clips, I actually like the way you can position clips exactly where you want them on the ear and not be limited to the position based on the ear piercing.
Nope, absolutely not! I go back a reread your posts several times to make sure I grasp all the nuances! And, I have also link your posts into other threads so other TPFers can benefit too! I think your advice should often be a stickyam so glad to hear the post was helpful. Sometimes I think I get carried away with my long responses boring people to death.
thank you for sharing all of it! congrats on your earring‘s arrival! and, congrats to @chromemilou too! I recall it was a long wait! Cannot wait to see them!I am so glad to hear the post was helpful. Sometimes I think I get carried away with my long responses boring people to death.

Thanks so much! This definitely opens up a new world of possibilities to me! It’s so hard to find nice earrings that I like that are clip on.
I know the posts could be unscrewed but I haven’t had the opportunity to try any on since I’m not near a boutique and with Covid I haven’t traveled in 18 months. I would love to try out some vintage and magic single motif alhambra earrings to see what calls to me.
Just ordered the "hammered gold" 5 motif bracelet from NY flagship (put down 1/2 deposit). Fingers crossed it comes in 8 weeks like orders have for many of you!

Sorry if this is a daft question, but does this mean you don't need pierced ears to wear some VCA earrings?
