For those of you who own the Frivole-Pave Earrings, do each earring sit the same on your ears? I just received a pair from Fashionphile and they sit differently on my ears. One sits with one flower at the top and 2 on the bottom and the other does not. Seems strange to me. Help please. Here are photos.

They should be exact. Each earring is a mirror image of the other. You should be able to lay them down (not on your ear) and see they are exact mirror images. I would send them back if they are not. Either they are fake or altered, either of which is not good.

To help out, see how they look sitting? The flowers are exact mirror images. Look at each petal. In your photos, your left ear has one petal at the top, while your right ear has two petals at the top.
That is not possible as the clasps on both are at the same flower petal position (just mirror imaged), and the clasp should be at bottom of your ear when worn. Maybe check if your clasps are at the bottom and not twisted up? That would be a reason. Hope this helps.

Thank you. I know all my vintage-Alhambra earrings are the same?
Let me take a photo of them the way yours look on a book.
I think I’ll do a general post too instead of on here. I’m going to call New York tomorrow and see if their customer service is there on the weekends and ask them. If they can fix it for a small fee, I’ll have them do it. If not, they’ll go back to FP.

Mine can sit differently depending on where the bottom part of clip is on my ear. I need to move the clip to be same spot for both ears. For your one ear I can see clip is on the face side of lobe. I can not tell where clip is for your other ear. If the earrings are not mirror images of one another then return.
Yes, it's best to call NYC. Looking at your photos, they look correct, but I'm certainly no expert on real or fake.
One thing you may want to check. The earrings are polarized, and it matters for Frivole earrings, not so much Alhambra.
There is a right ear and a left ear. On your ear clips, you will see a tiny little bump on the ear clip. The bump should point "away" from your face. Check to see if you put each earring on the correct ear.
Just another thought. I love Frivole diamond earrings, and I hope this works out for you.
Here is a photo in case I was not clear about the "bump".
See the photo below and see how the ear clip has the little bump out? The bump out points away from your face.
I hope it’s this simple problem!

You are always so helpful, thank you. I already checked and made sure it was the bumps when I first wore them but that’s not the issue. Based on all the pieces I own, they look authentic, and my bf has them, we bought hers together and they are just as sparkly, lol.
I’ll ask New York and see if FP will allow me to take the tag off and send to NY to see if they can be fixed. They were a good price, so a bit to get them corrected would be ok.
They are so sparkly, I may never wear my Vintage Pavés, lol.
Thank you, great suggestion, and I believe you just solved my problem, lol!
Yes... Frivole diamond earrings are the bomb! Dressy or casual, it's the only earring you need!
I'm so glad this is working out and it was a just a crooked clasp. Whew!
Oh, I am sure you know this, but if they are tight on your ears, you can get them loosened. I get all my earrings loosened and the post changed to the thinner post. This should be free of charge from VCA, indefinitely.

I know, I was so bummed with the crooked issue, lol.
I always get mine changed to the longer, thinner ones too, and they give you those plastic discs which make them sit better.
Thanks to you and @lynne_ross for resolving this issue for me so quickly. I really appreciate it
Glad it was a simple thing! I had the same ‘issue’ when I first wore them as my ear lobes are thin and small so the clip can sit any which way. Enjoy wearing them now!
Two words immediately popped into my head. BRIGHT and BEAUTIFUL. Congratulations!!!
Thank you, I am so in love with these! I was only into sweet earrings but then got inspired By so many beautiful photos in this thread!
