I would get them in vintage (if I consider what I like most) but I think there is more chance that VCA will release it in VA so paying premium for SO might be less advantageous compared to other two

Hi! I agree with @nightbefore to get Vintage size. Then you can match it with the pendant or 20 motif and it won't be too much. The Magic earring is pretty, but there is a risk it might look like two big fat giant bright blue four leaf lucky charm clover on each side of your face, and you may not wear it often. Maybe try on Magic Malachite earrings as it will give a similar look except green. It's going to either be love at first sight, or hmm... might be a big too much color against my face (you'll know immediately is my guess). Blue Agate and Malachite in a Magic earring is not as neutral on the face as MOP or oynx. I think a Magic MOP is beautiful if you want a Magic earring.

Also, I recall the reason why Blue Agate is not offered in earrings is due to the stone transparency, and if they made earrings, you could see through the post which VCA felt was not aesthetically pleasing. I may be dreaming this up (I do dream a lot about VCA and make up pieces :biggrin: ), but you may want to first check with your SA to see if a Blue Agate earring is even an option.

So exciting! I love Blue Agate, and I hope one day, they will offer it in WG.

I actually put in an SO request for vintage BA earrings. So that’s what I prefer! Haven’t heard back from Paris yet. But I was told that it has been approved for other clients so we’ll see. Every time I try on magic earrings they feel too big. Also dangling earrings feel like too much for me.
With that said every time I see magic onyx earrings on someone else it always catches my eye.

Excited to hear what you decide and if it gets approved!

I don’t think that’s why since carnelian is transparent. I would really like to know why they haven’t done it though!

Thanks for the replies! I have been asking for a while for SO Lapis VA earrings and haven’t had any luck so far. My SA told me 2-3 weeks back that I could SO blue agate earrings in YG instead. I have been thinking about it but I am not sure which size to SO and also what would happen if I don’t like the shade of blue.
I think you both are right about Magic earrings being too much in Blue agate. However I do have Malachite magic earrings and I feel because of the striations in the stone it doesn’t look like a BIG green earring.

I did a SO for the gray MOP/WG Magic earring a few years back. I love them, would highly recommend.
Notorious, my favorite part of your fantastic video is when the sunlight hits the necklace and you see that incredible sparkle.
I have your necklace in the 20 motif and I just love to see how the light reflects so beautifully on both the pave and guilloche motifs.
Congrats on your spectacular SO!!!!
Hi there! I'm also interested in doing a SO for the gray MOP/WG Magic earrings. Would it be possible to see any pics? Txs!

I think you should get the Blue Agate in Vintage size. Then, you can get the matching 20 motif in the future. :nuts:
Wow... what a set! I just know you're going to love 20s! They totally rock! :biggrin:

Yea the shades vary so much with BA! I wish it wasn’t an SO so I could pick the shade. But I think I will be happy with any of the shades I’ve seen so far.
 
I know they do wg with Blue Agate in the five motif bracelet because someone I know got it and its beautiful! I don't know why they wouldn't do it in earring style....
I asked to SO a set (VA earrings, 20 motif, and 5 motif bracelet). Hmmmm.... Maybe the 20 motif is throwing them off. I’ll wait to hear if others can get WG and BA and then ask again! I haven’t seen the earrings yet.
