They are $4750. You can likely call your VCA store and they can locate a pair for you or give you and update on the availability.

Last week my local VCA store told me they're fully sold out of the guilloche. I guess it proved more popular than they expected. They're taking orders but are requiring payment in full in advance. However, it's part of the regular line, so eventually it will be replenished.

I’ve seen a lot of sweets stacked with the love bracelet. Does anyone stack their guilloche with the love? If so can you post photos? I’m worried about scratching the guilloche. I could always wear the guilloche on the other wrist and just wear my love with my watch too I guess. I’m kind of leaning towards a small sweet bracelet to match with the love because of the lower risk of scratches.... any thoughts on this?

Since the guilloche is not able to be buffed out if scratches occur, and we know the love scratches fairly easily, it may be best to wear them on different wrists.

I think this was discussed before somewhere but for those of you who have or are thinking of having both the YG and WG Frivole pave large size earrings - do you feel they are different enough?
I have the YG but thinking of getting the WG, too.
Considering.....
It’s between those and the Flowerlace which are, of course, spectacular but may be too big for frequent wear—
Open for input ...

This is a tough decision. I have the pave lotus so I naturally gravitated towards the YG pave frivole. I tried on the WG pave frivole many times and I do think they look different however I personally don't think they are different enough. It all depends on your budget but based on your options I would consider the Flowerlace. They are spectacular and you won't always feel like you are wearing the same earring.

I have the WG frivole, best purchase ever made! I am looking to add a pair of earrings in yellow or pink gold, as much as I love frivole – I would pick a pair from another collection to add variety (ahem flower lace is BEAUTIFUL).

TT, my VCA SA has the flowerlace earrings and wears them for day and, of course, more formally at night. I have seen her at the boutique wearing them with regular daytime attire and they are not too much at all. She has pale skin and dark hair and they are so striking. I have the WG pave frivole and wear them constantly. They are a great everyday earring. I will eventually get the YG pave for myself because they are a good size for me and sit on my ear perfectly. I believe you have commented that you have a wide range of formal events that you attend and I think the flowerlace would be a stunning and very useful addition to your collection.
And, you can always add the WG frivole in the future. I think you will probably end up with both of them eventually as they are such classics!

Thank you all!!
Agree with everyone really
Next week I’ll try them both on
As snowball said- the Frivole is a perfect size and sit well on the earlobe
The Frivole is a sure thing
The Flowerlace are so special —-
Will report back next week
Appreciate everyone taking the time to share your thoughts
It’s true I have a more formal lifestyle but also conservative —
Neither would be a bad choice —

I tried the flowerlace on last October when in Paris and they are amazing. Can’t wait to hear what you think about them. I’ve recently become distracted with a few perlee bracelets which is why I am rearranging the order on my wish list but I do think that the flowerlace earrings are special. Good luck deciding!
