i received them in the mail today, but i realized the posts are probably a bit too short for my comfort + security given i have thick earlobes. does anyone know if tsc offers post lengthening or any other potential solutions?
I wasn't going to reply since I have not had experience with earrings, but I did have an additional 2" added to a TSC chain this year. They were very easy to work with and the work was done and back to me within two weeks. Cost was reasonable and included the shipping back and forth. I will be interested to hear if they have any earring solutions. They might be able to custom make you a pair with longer posts if they don't think it would work to alter these.
 
I just got my earrings today...Foglia! I was afraid that since Bloomingdale's was out of them, I'd better get them at Saks before I miss the opportunity (after waiting for months to get an ordered pair previously and giving up). They are definitely more beautiful in person, and I have said that about every single TSC piece I have gotten! They go great with both the Tree of Life locket and the pineapple amulet, which I didn't think about beforehand!

But speaking of earring issues...they fit me fine but one is falling forward a bit. So I have to see if I can figure out a way to make them work. I really want to be able to keep them. Since @Onebagtoomany already posted these a few days ago, it's probably not necessary to post again except mine would be against a different color hair! :lol: But I'll see what I can do!

@etoile de mer Oh and regarding the VCA earrings, Vintage Alhambra earrings have screw-in posts so they can easily be moved to another position (there are two holes) or switched to be longer or thinner. Then you can ask for them to be soldered in once you know what you like best. Then the clip backs can be adjusted for tightness. Other styles have posts attached to the backs with a regular post and push back or LaPousette back. That kind can't be adjusted as easily. I just think different ear lobes work better with certain style earrings than others! Trying them on seems to be necessary.

I'm so glad you finally got your Foglias and that you love them! They are so beautiful! :love: They're my favorite of all the TSC earrings. So fun that they coordinate with both your locket and amulet, too. And, thanks for the details on the VCA earring adjustments, so nice to be able to easily customize!

Congratulations! They will look absolutely gorgeous with your locket and amulet :heart: I really hope you can get the earring that falls forward adjusted, or perhaps ask for a replacement if that’s possible?

Wearing my Foglia earrings with new vine amulet on a 24” ribbon chain today. The amulet is so hard to photograph and so my lousy picture does it no justice at all!

I did have it on my (TSC) 32” classic round chain but think the shorter ribbon chain does the design more justice and DH prefers this combination with the earrings.

Beautiful! :flowers: So fun to see your collection growing!

So…. It’s my birthday (month) and I made a little F&F splurge too. As you can see, I had help unwrapping my present to myself.View attachment 5626022View attachment 5626023

Happy Birthday! :flowers: You have a lovely collection of pieces!

I think the ribbon chain looks fabulous with the vine amulet, but I also think it's great to have the option to wear it long on your classic round chain, too! :heart: I really love that her chains and pendants are so interchangeable! I am thinking of lengthening my 18" ribbon chain so it can be worn a little longer like you are wearing yours in the picture above.

Thank you! I absolutely love the Foglia earrings! I may have said this above, but even though I thought I loved them from the pictures, I was happily surprised at how really beautiful they are in person! I have a friend who is sending me a little silicone thing to slide on that earring wire to see if it will help hold up the earring better. If I were in NYC, I would probably try others on or see if TSC could adjust the wire a bit, but that really can't be done without me being there. I am going to try my best to make them work. I think they may be my favorite earrings!

Hi! Thank you for sharing these information! I’m wondering if you know the estimated width/thickness of the VA standard post? My skin is sensitive, I’m trying to compare it to my regular non VCA earrings and decide if I need the thinner post or not.
I’m not able to try them on in person unfortunately.
Thank you in advance!
