I have no issue with the post of my pave Frivole. (I found the pure Alhambra post quite short).

Here is a photo of the approximate measurement of the post. (Please delete this post if not allowed for anti-counterfeiting purposes!)

Hi all, i have started a new thread then I realised I should have just raise this here.

I am a little confused with the size of the magic Alhambra. I can see on VCA’s website the magic size is 26mm and I knkw this is the size of the magic long pendant. But I have recently been told about a size 20mm in HK (apparently it is a special edition that is only available in Hk) which is also called magic Alhambra pendant but it’s a short pendant and it’s not the vintage.

I have posted a comparison photo.
Left: vintage
Middle: magic 20mm
Right: magic 26mm

I’m debating on the next piece to get and I’m looking at the magic earrings vs vintage earrings, or the magic pendant. Therefore I would like some clarification on the actual size as I won’t actually get to see the different sizes until I visit Hk later this month.

My questions are:
1. Are the magic Alhambra earrings and the magic Alhambra rings smaller than the magic long pendant of 26mm?
2. Would magic Alhambra earrings be too big/heavy?

So there’s a special edition size in Hong Kong just like the special size in Paris for Bleu Porcelain?? Wow. I am loving it!

Hi! I am not sure what the special size the bleu porcelain is in, but the carnelian piece in Hk is 20mm, same as the magic rings and earrings. I will go check it out in a week and report back. It might just be the perfect size for carnelian for me!
