Can you try and find some love for the Frivole WG pave again? My personal opinion is the Frivole pave is far more gorgeous than Lotus.

The Frivole pops far more as it is a three dimensional blooming pave flower, while the Lotus is flat pave flower. Lotus is nice, but to me, nothing special. Frivole sparkles more and is super blingy. I have both, and there is no comparison in my mind. Maybe try it on one more time, then say no. :biggrin: :heart:

+1 on BigAkoya's comment.
I also don't find the Lotus earrings that special. I like the Frivole WG pave earrings way more, with its beautiful sparkles. I wear mine very often.
Have you tried on the two butterfly earrings? I recently got the two butterfly earrings (turquoise pair + lapis pair), and I love the sparkles on the YG pave butterfly earring from each pair. I am wearing the YG pave butterfly earrings as a set quite often.
Would you consider the two butterfly WG pave earrings? I think they would look beautiful IRL.

Got to try the bigger Lotus earrings today and they make such an impact! I don’t love them as much as I did so they’re actually coming off my wishlist for now. But it was fun to try them on.

Have you tried on the smaller Lotus earrings? Those are just too large on your small earlobes! I agree with the others that the small Frivole pave earrings would be an excellent choice.

Sharing some looks from the past week.
- Perlee transforming necklace on an all-black outfit. Not really obvious but also wearing the perlee diamond 3 row and perlee YG 5 row. The green croc bag is not mine, was just posing with it at the brand event. :biggrin:
- Simple Magic malachite pendant on a non-VCA chain.
- Wore my new TE 10 motif for the first time, on an extender. Loved the whole vintage feel of it!

Thank you @BigAkoya and @fice16 for your thoughts! These are wonderful ideas. I have tried the pink sapphire and diamond butterfly earrings but none of the others. I didn't love them on me. I will wait a little bit and then try on both the white gold Frivole pave and the white gold pave butterfly earrings and report back!

One more idea…
You may want to try Cosmos too. The WG pave is MTO (no uplift), so you will have to try the RG for fit. Be sure to look at the thick metal bezel to be sure you like it.

I still think though Frivole is the most stunning pave flower earring.

I just tried them last week and they felt small to me. I will try the Frivole next!!

I feel the same way when I wear my Lotus earrings too. A bit small. No pizazz. They hang flat. A bit boring. That’s how I feel about my Lotus.

My Frivole I love love love! Pure bling! They pack a punch on the ear! They are that different to me.

By the way, as much as I trash my Lotus earrings, you may be wondering why I am so dense to buy them. I only bought them to match my Lotus ring. I looked at other options for a set, but nothing looked great. Hence, I caved and got them… that’s my story!

I can’t for you to give Frivole a second chance! I hope you fall in love!

OMG. You are too gorgeous. Your 3 row diamond perlee is so totally stunning on you and perfect with every single outfit you wear. Just when I think I’m getting close to done with VCA…

Love pairing the single row with this Hermes bracelet. Keeps the bangle from hitting my wrist bone. A side comment about Hermes leather bracelets. I’ve tried so many styles, single tour, full Kelly cuff, and have not come across one that I could wear regularly until this double tour. Love it. Need another one. Anyhoo…back regularly scheduled programming.

I do love the pave Cosmos as an idea. I just saw the photos on Heart Evangelista. She looks absolutely fabulous in the white gold pave Cosmos. I should try the Frivole pave again and maybe also Cosmos. Thank you for sharing your story and for giving me such helpful advice!!
