Purchased these sweet effeuillage earrings yesterday posting these as I don’t think I’ve seen them on here before.

I like how the MOP is classy and goes with everything. I’m also planning to order a YG MOP 10 motif for the same reason, and I have the matching VA earrings. But I also keep thinking about the carnelian version of this one… red also goes well with my skin tone and would make all the little hearts look extra cute (and I don’t have anything RG), but the one thing pushing me towards MOP instead is that red color would be substantially harder to match with clothing… welcome any thoughts! ☺️

These look super cute on you!
Since you already have a YG MOP set (10 and earrings), I would get these in carnelian.
The only downside is the metal is RG, but if you can live with that, go for it. The fact you are even considering them tells me you might be ok with a piece in RG (think hard about the though.. I myself only wear white metals).

I think they would look very romantic and sweet red carnelian!
If not, you can still get the MOP. These earrings the VA MOP are two very different looks.

Good luck in your decision.

Such a kind compliment from the coordinated queen herself!! Thank you dear, purple and blue are also my favorite colors

Sometimes I wish I was more properly coordinated and matchy matchy like all you ladies here but I just have to be honest with myself and accept that my current super casual style is prone to mixing & matching metals/styles. Whatever sparks joy works for me but I absolutely love all the gorgeous eye candy from everyone else, especially you!!

Your style is eclectic chic! A deliberate mix and match, and it looks great on you!

Thanks @missie1. It’s so insignificant that VCA may deem it not worth their time or resources. Sweet onyx and WG studs. I had wondered about it for years and saw it on @8seventeen19 and she graciously shared some more pics and I was sold. I love the edgy yet low key vibe of it. Even if they agree to make it the price will be exorbitant for what it is and will make me want to get the vintage size. But I can’t help but LOVE the sweet size. Cross your fingers for me. After this I think I’m off VCA earrings until I get my stud situation sorted out. I would love to get studs again. Will be a longer project tho.

I find onyx with WG so elegant but am not a fan on myself with YG. My cousin wears the vintage Alhambra in YG and they look so great on her.

It’s worth it to overpay for something you’ll use a lot, rather than the vintage size if you think you won’t as much.
