Thx pg! I have thought about Malachite being a softer and more delicate stone, but it is very beautiful. 💚
So pretty tgg!
Great find Hadassa! Is this our tPF Throwback Thurday pic?
Yes it is - I am actually enabling TGG (and myself) to get the small Frivole. They look amazing on TGG
Can you imagine enabling TGG with her own pic :giggles:

You go girl! Enable away!
stylemechanel will be so proud of you, she is our Cheif Enabler. LOL
So tgg already has the Frivole earrings, are you trying to talk her into a WG pair or a larger YG pair?
Thanks so much! I was pleasantly surprised by the pink streaks too.
So 3-D feeling. I think I need a matching bracelet. Sigh. Why can't VCA have that on their website. Oh wait, I know, because I would hit "Buy It Now" right away! LOLOLOL
Steph, you should check out the Alhambra Magic line, they used a lot of gray MOP in those pieces.
Uh oh. There you go enabling again!
I don't think you will need much encouragement. LOL
Were the motifs on the Byzantine bracelet as small as the motif on the Sweet Alhambra bracelet? There is no info on the website about size and my SA is sold out so I'm trying to make a decision. Thank you for the reply!!
I think the motif is bigger than sweet alhambra,if my memory serve me right they are more or less like the vintage size if not a tad bigger (by 1 or 2mm). I tried 5 motif carnelian as well and the SA and my sister both agreed that byzantine bracelet look better on me, there is something about the YG against my skin tone and i love the dangling motif, reminds me of magic alhambra. hope this helps.

TGG, look what I found.........
I love these on you
Enabler!!
Goodness...that photo!! Eeks! I promise that IRL I don't have a double chin.
There is another photo of me wearing the large size along with two 20 motifs- onyx and mop that I snapped right before going out to dinner while on vacation. It's on here somewhere.
I purchased large yg frivole earrings but have always loved the small as well
My pave pair are small but feel larger for some reason.
Seems crazy to have three pairs of essentially the same earring so I've never allowed myself to purchase them.
Do I want them ?
Of course. The love ( and the list ) never ends.

I have seen malachite IRL.
When it was introduced I purchased a 20 motif and earrings.
It's very striking.

Thank you so much for the reply, it helps very much.
Took some pix of my holiday pendant with my real camera instead of the cell phone. It helps show the MOP better.
Congratulations! So so beautiful!
