Question, what do people wear as earrings with the RG grey mop Alhambra? I have the prettiest single motif with green and pink flashes but no earrings. Only RG grey Alhambra earrings I have seen were sold on FAshionphile
I have grey pearl drops with diamonds but those are white gold or the metal that starts with a p I think. Mismatched metals don’t look right in this case. I do have different white pearl earrings
Cannot do long earrings or the two or three motif alhambras - weak lobes
Thanks for the thoughts!

Here are some ideas:
PG pave vintage earrings
PG sweet RG earrings (if vintage size are too heavy)
Unbranded grey Pearl earrings in PG, with or without diamonds.
Unbranded PG earrings with or without diamonds.
Tahitian pearl studs would be the least expensive option until you can get some PG VCA earrings. The gray mop is from Tahitian pearl oyster shells. Check out Pearl Paradise or American Pearl.

Good options! I have been looking around at H, chopard, and unbranded PG options also the pink gold pave mini frivole... except i have the mini frivoles in gold and don't wear much. I DO have the vintage pave YG and wear all the time.

Yes have been looking for some - need to find pink gold setting or basic studs... thanks for the link! I am drawn to a basic pair of studs on the pearlparadise site!

May I ask why you don’t wear your mini frivoles much? I was considering getting a non pave pair in mini so I am curious.
As to your question, would you consider getting a pair of grey mop vintage earrings made? Otherwise, Nicole’s suggestions would align with mine. I think grey Pearl earrings would be a great stand in pair until you figure out what you love.
Yikes! With the string of heists going on my immediate thought was robbery
I wear my diamond studs when I wear my rg gmop.
Difficult to capture in this photo, but I wear my Mikimoto pearl studs, which actually pull some of the beautiful grey undertones from my GMOP necklace- mine also has distinct pink and green striations. Although my pearl studs have WG backings, it doesn't show, so there's no issue with mixing metals...which I'm not necessarily opposed to, depending on the pieces I'm wearing together. I believe the Mikimoto studs are Black South Sea Pearls (?)...not an expert (maybe someone else might have more info.)
The other earrings I wear are my inexpensive Missoma rose gold huggie earrings, which are an exact match with the VCA RG. It's sometimes hard to pair rose gold from different brands, as some pull more pink undertones, which in my opinion do not pair well with VCA's RG. HTH.
I wear mine with either the pave VA earrings in RG or the magic GMOP earrings in RG, which was a Made-to-order (MTO) piece.
Here’s an old pic.
I am a little cranky when it comes to matching my necklaces with earrings
You’re right! What Mikimoto calls “black south sea”, most others call “Tahitians”. Mikimoto “black south sea” and “Tahitians” are from the Pinctada margaritifera oyster. White and gold south sea (from Mikimoto or anywhere else) are from a different oyster - Pinctada maxima.Difficult to capture in this photo, but I wear my Mikimoto pearl studs, which actually pull some of the beautiful grey undertones from my GMOP necklace- mine also has distinct pink and green striations.

I personally love mixing pearls and MOP, like DS2006, especially when they’re from the same oyster! your duo must be beautiful in-person

Hi Lynne! the main reason I don't wear the minis is that I find the backing fiddly to deal with and just prefer my pave alhambras if i need gold earrings. since my my daily jewelry is usually gold alhambra, the paves work.
also i bought the frivoles to use for work travel trips and now don't travel much.
Thanks! I have several pairs of diamond earrings. all platinum claws, will try and see whether that bugs me.
