Ladies went to boutique yesterday and fell in love with the most amazing earrings. I had dismissed Alhambra earrings as being matronly when matched with necklace and all sweets didn’t look great on my ears. My amazing sales person brought out the diamond butterflies for me to try. I was in love. These are definitely going on my list. I’m actually prioritizing them over the 20 motif that I actually loved as well. The SA had two 10s in my exact combo rg mop and they were stunning. Also was able to try on the wg clover …same SA had hers so everything I wanted to see came together.
You know how I feel about these earrings for you! 100% yes

1000%!!! White gold really pops on you. I think if I were you I would do both sides white gold pave!

just on the topic of ordering another single earring, can we order any single butterfly earring if we already have a pair? I am getting the turquoise/gold pave version and might be keen on getting an individual white gold diamond single earring or maybe a lapis single earring.

I know you can order a single diamond one but not sure about the others. I need to know that once I get closer to ordering because I like the Sapphire rg one. They were so light on my ears and surprisingly they just worked. They were a bling fest

The butterfly looks stunning on you! I had dismissed those silly dainty butterflies too, but they keep buzzing in my head!
Seeing your photo, they are not silly nor dainty. They have a lot of presence on your ears. My ears are small and my ear piercing is low, so they will look a bit larger on me which is good.

Okay... maybe I need to put butterflies back on my list! Did you try on a butterfly ring? On which earrings, I love pave, but I also love the quirkiness of unmatched earrings. If you decide to get a ring, that quirkiness will really be a fun look.

On priority, I vote get the 20 first... the 20 pops! Butterfly earrings are nice, but they will not pop as much as the 20. You cannot miss a 20 when worn... it's iconic VCA. It's very versatile too... looks best with a striped tee and shorts! :biggrin: :heart:

Thanks for sharing these photos! I see that necklace popping out too! I vote 20!

So I tried the wg pair on and absolutely loved how they sat and everything. I was thinking when time comes if I should Order the wg diamond and pink sapphire set. Then later on I can order single wg diamond one so that can have few combinations. These absolutely stole the show for me.
Try on the yellow sapphire too. Depending if you want mellow or a pop, you might like the yellow.
If I were to get a set, I definitely do not want all diamonds as I have enough "all diamond" stuff, and after a while it looks the same... just diamod bling if that makes sense.

I want something fun; hence it would be either the pink sapphire or yellow sapphire. For me, I would pick the one that pops the most on me, and I worry the pink sapphire will just fade into my skin. The yellow sapphire (while I am a bit anti yellow sapphire as it mimicks a yellow diamond), I think will pop more on me, especially if it's a deep yellow.

Just a thought to try on all options. Fit wise, they look great on you!

Forgive me for enabling, but I love the butterfly earrings.

Thank you so much!
I wonder if they would make that combination for you in white gold?
I’m not going to ask as I am certain they will not make a set, and I don’t want the earrings without the matching ring.

Plus, my SA just resubmitted my order for Hellebore, so I want to get that through first before I look like a crazy client who only does SOs which I am sure is not what VCA wants.

Why not ask about the butterflies?
It's not like you're not a devoted customer and it's not like you don't have other items in the brand.
They promoted the Hellebore, you saw the Hellebore when it was part of the line, they offered you the Hellebore only to cancel your SO, and you still want the Hellebore. Likewise, you want the Lapis/Pave butterfly earrings in WG. It's your money. They're charging a fee for a product, and if you can pay, and they can supply it, I'm not sure why there would be an issue.
Your taste is sophisticated, you have certain design specifications and you're asking VCA to fulfill them. I think they would be thrilled to have you as a customer--after all, you're one of their best cheerleaders.
I would ask, maybe they would say yes to one or even both. After all, they're the same materials. Further, I assume they want to keep you as a customer. They have to realize that's not going to happen if they keep saying no.
I've been told that some of these special order or limited edition items, (such as the Butterfly earrings in turquoise/pave) have to be approved by management. Some have to be approved by Paris. It kind-of creeps me out that VCA could have a dossier on me, but I imagine they track purchases and spending, so the more you buy, the more they're willing to accommodate your requests.
Good luck with the Hellebore. I'm glad you're being persistent and I hope you get it.

When I get closer to placing the order I will have SA get various combinations for me to try so I can decide. Also you were right about the 20 motif. It was stunning in rg mop. I was able to try both as SA had two tens in this exact combination. I love it and it’s on the list after the Earrings.
