I have the earrings and pendant, but I am sorry I don't have a picture of them on! They are not everyday pieces for me because I am super casual. They are more for going out to dinner and that kind of thing for me. But if you dress up for work, they'd likely be great! I do think they are slightly more casual than Frivole pave, but Frivole is very beautiful!

Thank you so much for the reply! I'm definitely having a hard time deciding. Do they sparkle a lot or just so much since the diamonds are tiny?

I think the Alhambra pave sparkles a lot, and is very white, and I am super picky when it comes to diamonds. It’s not “full pave” sparkly like the pave frivoles. That’s different. In my mind I equate Alhambra pave sparkly to fancy dinner party sparkly while frivole to me is red carpet sparkly. Don’t know why I thought of it like that. Hope that helps.

Hi All,

I've loved seeing your photos - I've read back through the entire thread! Hoping you might be able to give me some advice - planning on a pair of Alhambras and stuck on the color. MOP or Onyx? I am brunette, pale complexion, cool undertones, blue eyes. Thoughts?

Also debating size. I think there is something lovely about the Sweets, but am worried that they will be too small on me. (I do have big earlobes.) Happy to go up to Vintage, but that does change the look a bit IMO. I work in a school and will likely continue to wear a mask for a bit - so small may be better for now. But I don't want to be short-sighted here.

(Also very tempted by the turquoise Sweets currently available online. Maybe less versatile, but so nice!)

Appreciate any wisdom you all can share! Thanks!

I am pale, cool undertones, brunette and the GMOP disappeared on me. Went with the Onyx in Vintage and Carnelian in Sweets.

As EpiFanatic said, they have sparkly white diamonds and they definitely show up well in the white gold. If I were to only have one pair, it would likely be these! But I'd like a couple more pairs that are a little more casual, too!

Good point! Which pairs would you consider that are more casual?

I love the Frivole earrings in shiny white gold (small) and yellow gold (small and large) that do not have pave but just little diamonds in the center. I think those can be worn anytime. The only problem is that these seem to be in short supply at this time. Any of the stone or solid gold Alhambra earrings are, of course, more casual than pave.

I love the Magic Alhambra earrings. Both malachite and GMOP have become my easy to grab and wear pieces these days. View attachment 5179274View attachment 5179275

Beautiful! I especially love GMOP with pale pink!
Super pale blush pink, gray/black, and white... I love that tri-color combination. Feminine yet bold.

Love your Ks! Waiting to see the Osier Picnic in your next mod shot! I just love that bag which I am sure you have. :heart:
Every time I see your posts, I think to myself I should just get over not having a back pocket and get K bags. When I was 16, I bought a no name Kelly shaped bag from a dept store, not knowing what Hermes or Kelly was. I have always loved that shape and design.
:biggrin:

Full disclosure... your bags are my favorite part of your mod shots. :hugs:

Hehe thank you for your sweet words. I love the versatility of carrying a Kelly bag. The strap for me is indispensable. I don’t have the picnic K. All my Kellys are ‘regular’ leather which I deliberately chose so I can use and abuse my bags. :P

I am loving the sheen on GMOP! It’s like a chameleon that changes colors with the color of clothing I have on that day. Pink and gray are fast becoming my favorite combination ever! And I am NOT a pink lover by any chance:biggrin:
