Hi,
I am thinking about doing SO for 2 motif earrings in RG with WMOP. What do you think between these 2 choices? I used Ginza edition pendant with my 5 motif bracelets for the pics.

My two cents if I may...
I like two WMOP motifs. The earrings pop. To me, the 2-motif earrings using a stone are not about diamond bling, it is about stone pop!

In the first phot, the smaller vintage size pave motif takes a back seat against the larger WMOP. The eye first sees that WMOP, and the vintage page motif is secondary, almost a bit lost to me in the sense my eye has to look for it.

In the second photo, the earring pops! It's not just about the big motif or the small motif; it's about the entire statement earring! Two WMOPs make a great statement, and it's a nice flow! My eye doesn't have to find the earrings; they scream "look at me."

I vote the two WMOPs! Just my two cents. Hope that helps in your decision.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I wear my Frivole, Vintage Alhambra and Lotus earrings as everyday earrings. So I am trying to find a dressier pair. I love both the options but I am wondering which would suit what I am looking for.

I do too! I wear my Frivole pave and Lotus as everyday earrings also. So... since you wear those as everyday...

For dressy, I would get the Snowflake earrings. I love the Snowflake earrings! If you can wear big drop earrings, the Snowflake earrings to me are the bomb! No other earring screams black tie dressy elegant to me.

To me, just because an earring is big and dangling does not always mean it's dressy. I see lots of women in jeans/shorts with big dangling earrings, very casual. The WMOP 2-motif to me is not a dressy look; it's a bold, fun, big earring look. Yes, you could try and dress it up by wearing a dressier outfit of course. However, the Snowflake collection in no way can be interpreted as casual; it is dressy bling at its finest!

If you are choosing only between the two Alhambra two motifs, I still vote the two WMOP. It stands out more and can look more elegant with a dressy outfit. I know the pave has little diamonds, but they are so small there's not much bling factor, so you see more metal than diamond. And... a lot of metal in jewelry is definitely not a dressy look. That's just my thoughts of course.

Snowflake is so gorgeous! Maybe try those on. I bet they will pop on you!

I agree with BigA. I find the 2 motif pair to be more casual. Which is why I ended up with the lucky pair. I wear them with flowery dresses and chin my cream sweaters. Even when Kate Middleton wore the two motifs at formal events I found the earring type to not match the formality and appeared too casual. If you love the two motif pair I would go with the all mop. Then search for another pair for ‘dressier’ days.

I thought the same about Kate! I loved her VCA set, but not with her dress... it seemed out of place and yes, too casual. True or not, I read Charles gave the VCA set to her as a gift. Perhaps she wanted to wear them in public to show her appreciation which I would admire if she wore it for that reason (gifts...yes... sometimes we need to wear that big Hello Kitty plastic ring to show our appreciation! :biggrin: :heart: )

Now Camilla and her Snowflake set... I love it! Although... I often wonder why she wears the Snowflake pendant and not the collar necklace. I think the Snowflake collar necklace is fabulous with the Snowflake earrings.

I thought maybe this might be a helpful comparison photo to those considering what metal to pair with GMOP per an earlier post from @Lien ... :heart:

WG Magic, YG Vintage, RG 5 motif. The surrounding metal with GMOP, as I suppose with many options, totally changes the aesthetic and feel of the piece. :nuts:

Of course I am going to say the first one - two motif earrings pave/MOP.
This is exactly what I am thinking when I get around to ordering a PG/WMOP set.
