Here are some comparison pics and post measurements with calipers:
Oh.... This will be a no-go for me then if the posts are this thick. Thank you so much for posting.
I don't have callipers but I have 1 set of earrings that have posts close to 1 mm and I cannot wear them. They are the ones on the right below. I only realised when I went to put them on before. They were really uncomfortable (only worn once before).
I put them side by side with my other earrings which are comfortable and they looked the same till I zoomed in.
It looks like these earrings are a no-go for me if the posts can't be changed. I'll be sure to ask when I go and try.
Yes I could certainly feel the posts while wearing in the boutique. Hard to tell if it would become uncomfortable after some wear time as I do not have any earrings with posts close to 1 mm like these. I don't have callipers either - my SA whipped them out and measured both earrings for me. If I purchase the pink sapphire they would be SO. My SA is going to ask if PB will make them with thinner posts since they are SO anyway. I will let you know what I find out.
In my experience, I'm still in discomfort hours after taking them off. And I only wore mine for a few minutes before.
I've logged a query with a local authorised dealer to see if the posts can be changed out. I'm already not keen on the idea that I need to go through an AD to make modifications.
Curious if you have heard back about this. My SA contacted PB but says no one has given her a "straight answer" yet.
Ah I forgot to report back. Yes it can be done, but needs to be sent to Italy and can take months. I don't feel I will get the earrings.
I am patient but I am already dealing with a dealer (as opposed to Pasquale Bruni direct) with no direct line. If it was VCA, Cartier or say Tiffany, it would be OK. I'm not confident with service.
However I am still considering the necklace.
From your pics last posted (if I remember correctly), you had to deal with a dealer too yea?
Ah I see. Yes I was at Birks and so also cannot deal directly with PB. I think I would want the posts shortened as well so it may be too much hassle as I still do not even have an answer about post thickness. Undecided and may circle back to my original plan of the pavé Frivole earrings. Did you try the necklace on? I was told the flower flips around a lot as a pendant but I suppose this may depend on the person / bone structure.

Haha I was just searching to add a Segreti ring to my collection and found it on the site. I don't think they actively promote sales on their site.
I ended up getting a Messika piece awhile back on discount and like to check their site periodically.
It's only taken me 9 months to go try these on since I posted this thread! Sadly I did not feel they had the same effect. I must have large lobes, but my friends whom I showed my pic too loved the earrings on me.
I do like them but wasn't love at first sight. I didn't try the larger ones as they are over my budget. I'll keep thinking about them.

Very late response here but I just posted above. The posts were thicker as you said but they were not as thick as I thought. They were still comfortable on me.Let me know what you think about the posts. And please take pictures, especially if they have the pink sapphire
Unfortunately they didn't have any sapphire pieces but I did look at the rose gold which had champagne and white diamonds. Really lovely pieces.
Disclaimer, I'm not sure if they are officially named small and large sizes.

I found them so pretty but their official answer was that they would not custom create with thinner posts. Their reason was for structural integrity. I had to pass as the thickness was super noticeable for me.
