Has anyone done a special order for the vintage Alhambra hammered gold earrings in WG? Would love to see a picture if anyone has these. Thanks so much
Great choices! Did you order an alternating onyx and hammered alhambra in white gold or the 5 onyx in wg?
Hello shyla14, I SOed the onyx and hammered alhambra in WG.
Please share a pic once it arrives....i would love to see it
I am wondering about this too please let me know if you receive any info
@mfa87 I have found these in an old thread apparently it was limited edition for japan couple of years ago... it is pave though so way out of my price range maybe in secondhand market if it fits your price range

VCA ~ Van Cleef Arpels Discussion thread!
In a different auction on April 9th, Allure Antique Auction Company has a Yellow Gold pave Sweet 6 motif up for auction. Again, to my recollection it has never been released and I highly doubt that VCA would make a SO for an entry level piece which is also relatively new to their Sweet line...

Hoping I can get some insight from the lovely PF members... I recently fell in love with the small rose gold Frivole pave earrings ... but I did mention to my SA that I would like a piece to transition from day to nighttime and he mentioned I could try a SO pave large rose gold earring set.
I’m waiting for price right now but here is a pic of what it would look like versus the small:
do you think it’s a bit much for the daytime ? The small is size of vintage and the large is the size of magic Alhambra. I work now from the home but also on occasion from the office. I don’t wear a ton of jewelry and my outfits are mostly neutral.
Thanks in advance !

Hobbiezm! Your post comes at the most amazing time as I was going to get the new rg frivoles. I have them in wg pave and love them to death so I knew that I would wear a second pair. But getting in the large size is a spectacular idea and I am going to send your pic to my SA to pursue this idea. I would LOVE them in a larger size and I would not have any reservations about wearing them daytime at office. This idea is BRILLIANT. Please pass my compliments to your SA for the suggestion, I am in the US so I hope my boutique manager will allow this. I will report back when I get an answer. THANK YOU for this post!!!
Hi! I like big and bold, but more importantly, I like coordinated pieces that work together.
I love the big earrings, but it depends on what other pieces you wear. I think I see a Vintage Alhambra necklace on you, and if you plan to wear the Vintage Alhambra with it, I personally think the small Frivole matches much better.
The large Frivole, while gorgeous is out of portion with the Vintage Alhambra, and I feel it takes away from the beauty of it. Also, I am not sure if you are actually wearing the large earrings, but they look a bit big for your ears. The petals look like they are pushing into the side of your face, and the top petal goes past the upper portion of your earlobe going into the ear "hole" area if that makes sense. If the earrings were a bit lower and further away from your face, I think they would look a bit better. It crowds your face now in my opinion. I have a feeling the small is the better size for you.
Just my two cents. But of course, it's your personal preference. Either one, these earrings are gorgeous and I am headed to VCA in a few weeks to purchase the small version like yours, but in WG.
Good luck to you! Can't wait to see what you decide! I hope you check out the new RG Frivole BTF pave ring too! That piece is gorgeous and lots of bling! The ring would be a great match with the large earrings as the large flower is the same size.

thanks for your input @911snowball - yes his recommendation was really appreciated and it took my breath away when I put the ring next to my earrings to get an example of the size.
I want to see if they will accept the order and especially the price - but it’s definitely something I will consider strongly . Please do share and I’ll do so to when I hear back ...❤️

hi @BigAkoya - you raise a very good point about what I currently have. Most of my necklaces are all vintage and I actually don’t own a single magic size necklace though that might change in the future.
The size is something to consider and unfortunately I couldn’t try the large Frivole earrings ( the regular YG are almost always sold out... can you believe there is a waitlist for some items now?!) but my SA said to wait until I can try a large one and see how the petals sit on my lobe.
the ring is absolutely gorgeous - and I believe I will save for one BTF ring one day so it’s something to also consider.
Thankyou for your input !
