I find things strange since vca just introduced more mini frivoles. Maybe this is market specific. I like the sweet line so watch out for it disappearing so I can add a few pieces first.

You are so rude.
I literally called this morning and they answered right away. Quite noisy, they seemed busy. This store has SO MUCH traffic. I've been shopping there for a while and have visited the store before being a client for many years now, it is always pretty full. This is a flagship and stock has been low because of Covid, give them a break...geez.

Here is an idea.. It's so not me, yet I love love love this idea for a bold & cute earring look.
This only works for those who have double pierced ears (I do, but I never wear two earrings on one ear anymore).
Next time you go to the boutique, try two Sweet turquoise Butterflies on each ear. The secret though is not to position them perfectly. Just let them lay wherever they end up, like two butterflies randomly buzzing; that's the look, "free spirited & whimsical butterflies."
Sweet is super tiny, but I always thought two randomly placed Sweet turquoise butterfly earrings on one ear would be a bold & super cute look!
I don't think it gets any cuter than two micro-sized turquoise butterflies on the ear, especially on ladies... in the summer!
Just a thought. I have not seen it in real life, only in my head, so it might not work out that great.
If it did look great.. wow... the ears would pop turquoise!

So I finallyyyyyy saw the classic hammered five motif in store! It was someone else’s order that came in (I didn’t touch it or anything, they were super respectful of that lucky person’s new bracelet, which made me feel a lot better if I have to order one in the future). I have to say I think I was a little let down? I hadn’t expected it to be so dull. I didn’t think it would be like the guilloche of course, but just a little luster. Is that normal?
Me too. I just realized the earrings I wear the most are the ones I forget I have on, meaning that they are so light and comfortable that I don’t feel them at all. That’s probably why I love my sweets. Ugh. Gotta figure this out.
Yes, it’s much more muted but the design grows on you and stacks so well with others. It’s understated and I didn’t like it at first but now I love it.
Good to know! I was going back and forth between this one and the guilloche. I liked the idea of the hammered because it’s more carefree.
When my bracelet arrived it came like the way you described but now it got shinier with use.
Really!? Did you polish it or anything? Or just the natural oils/moisturizers on your skin?
I didn’t do anything special, just washed in light soupy water and used a soft toothbrush to clean it once in a while. It is very carefree…
I agree! I have had mine about a year and love it more and more. It’s so easy to wear and to stack. Funnily enough, I was actually looking at mine a few days ago and wondering if it was my imagination or had it got shinier…!
I also normally just use soapy water and then sometimes I use a specific jewellery dip which has a little toothbrush type thing with it and just gently clean it.

Haha! You like to double things up. I only have one earring hole and my lobes are tiny so no second hole for me.So... potential Sweet turquoise owners @lynne_ross @missie1

I really want to add the sweet 16 motif necklace. Loving all the recent pics on it.
Sounds like a great plan and I have two holes. Going to try them next week if they have in stock. I wanted vintage turquoise wg earrings but im feeling like grab these so that I have another piece to go with my bracelet. Then if and when I can get pair of vintage grab those.So...

Do you have the YG or RG? I was thinking of doing the YG guilloche and YG hammered because my other VCA bracelets are all YG. But I saw their RG and it was a pretty shade. Ughh too many options!
