You are in good company here
Always VCA dreaming and scheming !
Honestly I think it looks perfect
Quite lovely actually
Seems to me the next size would be too big - especially worn with your love
thank you @TankerToad for your comment, I seriously thought so too, that's why I bought it in the first place. At the store, they had the Small Rose gold, I tried, felt a little too big. Had they have the small YG, I would probably have bought the small, not XS. Just felt more comfortable.
Yay! You have one as well! Congratulations!! I agree, it is a great summer piece! Cheers!

Their website shows four sizes…
Is size 6.30 inches a SM small size?
If not, which size is considered the small size.
Thank you so much

Yes, small. The sizes are XS, S, M, L.
Hi! I'm late to your post, but recently deliberated similar earring choices! Went to see the pave Alhambra, which they didn't have. Was surprised by how much I loved the small Frivole. But I was blown away by the mini MOP Rose de Noel and those came home with me! They bring a huge goofy grin to my face whenever I put them on or think of them. I'd agree that they don't match your GMOP 20 motif (looove that piece!) as well as the RG pave Alhambra probably would, so I see them more as a stand alone purchase, rather than to coordinate with the GMOP. But to me they are super special and I don't regret my purchase at all. Hope that helps!
@BigAkoya here is the dragon.
I remember him now. Scary! Big teeth!
Ladies. Hello. It has been a while for me. I have a dilemma. I want to get a pair of magic onyx earclips. My store told me there is a waiting list and will take a while. Not sure how long but said many months.
Now they are getting a pair of large frivole clips in. It is a wishlist item. But I own a few frivole earrings already and only one Alhambra.
These are what I own:
WG vintage pave
Mini WG frivole
YG small frivole
YG cluster frivole
WG pave small lotus
Should I wait for the magic onyx or go for the large frivole? Was told these would be the first pair they are getting in 3 years.

Are you planning to buy both for certain and would buying the large frivole now have any impact on your plans to buy the Onyx Magic as soon as it come in? If you want both, I would get the large frivole now and at the same time pay in full for the onyx magic earrings, which will likely make them come in a bit sooner. It sounds like the Onyx Magic is higher on your priority list, so if it is a choice between the two, I would prepay for the Magic pair now and get the Frivole large down the road. I think stock is improving. There have been a few purchases by members of the large Frivole in the last 2 weeks (in the USA) where they had been waiting for them a long time previously.
Hi! My thoughts...
Get what you first wanted which is the Magic oynx. They will be very different than your VA, Frivole, or Lotus.
On getting the Large Frivole, do you really love them because they are bigger, or do you want them because they are rare?
I think the YG small, YG cluster, and now these YG Large fall into the same "all metal Frivole" category which is pretty much a "yellow gold flower earring."
I love Frivole and if it were me, I would get the Frivole WG pave instead of the YG Large. The pave Frivole earrings are the bomb! Super blingy and gorgeous.
That said, if you love love love love love the YG large (you need a lot love to want to buy three all gold flower earrings is my point), get them now. However, ask why you want them? Do you really love them for what they are vs. for being rare? And finally, do you really want another "gold tone flower earring?"
I vote diversify! Magic for sure.
On the Frivole pave earrings... for what it's worth, I have both the Lotus earrings and the Frivole WG pave. There is no comparison to me, the Frivole WG pave are ten times more blingy and beautiful, so they are not duplicate at all to me.
Good luck in your decision.

Thank you Nicole and Akoya.
I purchased the small frivole many years ago. Either late twenties or early thirties. I believe it was in my twenties. At the time of purchase, I never considered the large. Thought they were too large but you know, as you age you go bigger .
Both my pave earclips were a total surprise. Something I have only dreamed of but never had I ever imagined owning. I would love the pave frivole, but for now, I can only dream.
btw, all my purchases were phone orders as I don’t have VCA in my state. Sometime last year I did have the chance to try on a pair of magic carnelian (canceled SO) and loved the size. Large frivole, never had a chance to see them irl. Now I do have the btf frivole ring and held it up to my ear. That is gorgeous as well.
If both were available, idk which I would choose…..
Now the large frivole has been on my wishlist for a few years now. Frivole is my favorite line. Maybe I will do as Nicole suggested. Get the frivole now and prepay for the magics….
thanks again.
