Good morning! :smile: I hope someone who owns these earrings could give me some advice. If you had to choose between the WG vintage alhambra diamond earrings and WG magic alhambra single motif diamond earrings, which one would you choose? Would it be redundant to have both? Also, would the magic be wearable as an everyday piece? Txs so much in advance!

I have the wg vintage pave earrings and do not consider them everyday earrings for my very casual lifestyle. But I do wear them when I go out to dinner and that kind of thing. Magic pave are far more dressy, in my opinion. I would almost never have an occasion to wear those (maybe weddings or other semi-formal events which are rare for me). Of the two, I think vintage is more of an everyday item and would get more wear unless the person really dresses up for work daily or has numerous dressy social events.

I have the YG Magic pave and I wear them frequently, e.g., everyday wear. They're wonderful as this one pair works with all my YG alhambra.

Nice! I heard the YG Magic pave is a touch smaller than the WG ones. Not sure if that's correct. At any rate, is there a way to adjust how high or low the Magic earring sits on the ear? Do they flop forward much since they are bigger? Thanks!

I don't believe mine are adjustable, and I don't know how the current iteration is made. However, if not adjustable, I'm sure that VCA can move the post if necessary. With that being said, they so flop a bit, but that's easily remedied. After I put the earring on, I slide a round plastic disc onto the post (most jewelers have these) and then shut the earring. This stabilizes the earring so it sits securely on the ear. In fact, I use this with all my earrings, whether it seems like they need it or not--they look better.
I love the Magic pave and I've never regretted the purchase. They eliminated a lot of other smaller earring purchases I otherwise would have made.

I wear my Magic earrings everyday. Yes, the YG are slightly smaller (and they have the button in the middle, the wg don't). There should be at least one other hole on the back to move the post (my YG Magic Pave are SO and so are a little different than the regular YG magic).

Everyone here has such beautiful earrings and necklines... I miss being thin and having lovely collarbones. I like food too much.

Itʻs been awhile since Iʻve taken any pics. Here are my large Frivole.
