Same! Never paid much attention to Cosmos until I saw someone wearing the wg onyx ring irl. I’ve only really seen the MOP version in stores but I love the monochromatic look of the onyx, also goes nicely with the onyx/pave 2-motif earrings and panda clip!

Has anyone heard about this pop-up boutique at Valley Fair in Santa Clara, California?

It's a pop up installation! It's located in Center court in the mall. They didn't have anything for sale but they had a center area with pieces from Alhambra, Frivole, Clover collection as well as some more special pieces like Flowerlace, Snowflake (didn't get a picture) on display. They mentioned that the goal for the SF boutique is to open mid to late April.

Yup saw it. Bummer they wouldn’t let us try anything on. At least we got an approximate opening date for SF. The selection of pieces was nice. Some high jewelry but I wasn’t motivated to take many pictures, especially when I couldn’t touch anything.
Thank you @cindy663 and @EpiFanatic for sharing the SC pop up and store details!! I’ve been living as a hermit since the pandemic and due to all the recent boutique robberies haven’t ventured much to downtown SF, but I would love to go check it out when it opens!
You’re welcome. Wasn’t a big deal and I was sadly disappointed I couldn’t try anything but I preferred it to going out to SF. When the store opens maybe the world will be a safer place.
Does anyone know if something major is going on at VCA or is it simply web site changes?

Sounds like they are updating the website to me. I saw that banner on the site a few days ago, too.
I believe there are quite some modshots of pave and stone sweets in earrings modeling thread. Me and my mum both own a pair of sweets, I think they are great to have in your collection, they are very easy to wear. I like the vintage size too, but they serve for different purposes. I am personally not very comfortable with wearing a pendant/necklace with vintage size. I feel overwhelmed. In fact, my F bought me a pair of guilloche earrings as a bday gift (which was like 5 months delayed due to high demand for Guilloche). I didn’t choose them, I just said something that would go with everything, and apparently he really liked the light play on guilloche so it came as a surprise to me. I find them very pretty but a bit overwhelming for daily wear, I reach out most of the times to my sweets and my small frivoles lately. I must say he gets a bit disappointed/offended that I don’t wear them very often and tells no more jewelry for me as “I don’t wear them anyways”
. So, I would say (if it’s possible) get them in both sizes, they are nice for different occasions

I have them and they are not heavy. I haven't tried the MOP butterfly. I am very non-tech-y but also shy so let me see if I can find a picture and blur or emoji my face to post

I use plastic disks behind all my earrings. I put the earring on, thread the post through the disk on the underside of my ear and secure it. It stabilizes my ear and keeps the earring from flopping. It's particularly useful for any earring that feels big and/or heavy.
A lot of jewelry stores have them (I first learned about these from Tiffany's). I don't recall if VCA has them. I buy mine from a jewelry supply house, but here's some from Amazon.
Also, they come in slightly different diameters. I use the larger for larger earrings such as the large frivole, and the smaller for small earrings such as the butterfly earrings. The only downside is that they're clear plastic and if you drop one, it's a goner, so I bring a little baggie with extras when I travel.
Try them with the Butterfly earrings. If you love earrings, these are a lifesaver. They've salvaged earrings I never thought I could wear. It's an easy fix and I'd hate to see you pass on the earrings when there may be a simple solution.
