I am looking for help in deciding which sweet earrings to get - oynx or turquoise ?
I think you can wear black more however I love turquoise and know it's rare so figure to get the sweet versions before it's too late.
Thoughts?

My Ludo will deliver to me Tuesday. I’m so excited.
This thread will be on fire Tuesday! Can’t wait to see
I have a silly question. At how many pairs of alhambra earrings would you consider a further pair to be redundant.
I have in the alhambra family: YG hammer vintage, MOP magic, and MOP two-motifs.
I was contemplating perlee carnelian but now having second thought as I am not sure carnelian suits my skin tone. So… I have added into my potential list of candidates:
• YG MOP vintage alhambra
• onyx vintage alhambra
• WG vintage alhambra
And of course, there’s the option of holding off until I have a firm preference.

Sounds like you have a wonderful collection of Alhambra earrings and you enjoy the design.
I would try to explore other items such as bracelets or necklaces , whatever fits your personal style .
If you absolutely “need” to have another pair, I would pick onyx as it is a complete different look due to the shade
Your mop collection is fairly complete in my opinion , but of course it’s your style after all

Well, it depends! I tend to collect things I like so I get multiples plus I like to match my earrings to my necklaces so I have a lot of Alhambra/magic earrings!
You have a beautiful collection. Have you considered the pave diamond yellow gold earrings or guilloche in either metal? I wear those three all the time.
I also love my MOP yellow gold Alhambra earrings. They are a great basic that match everything. Literally everything.
It’s all personal style. They are a great staple - you can’t go wrong with the Alhambra studs.
As for me, I’m not a fan of of the Perlee studs but that’s bc I do not look good in round earrings. My lobe needs more of a design.
This is not a silly question here!!!
For me there is no number that is redundant. Vintage Alhambra earrings are part of my uniform. Some people only need one pair. I like deciding every morning what color looks best with my outfit! So I think it depends on how you feel abt it!
I have 3 colors of vintage and 1 sweet. I wouldn’t hesitate to get an additional color if they produce it.
In terms of carnelian I have yet to find a shade I like and I’ve tried them on many times.
@Meowwu Not a silly question at all because all us jewelry lovers here go through our moments of contemplation to ensure we are getting what we love and avoiding mistakes. And we all have very different definitions of what we love.
If you love and wear Alhambra earrings then why not add more? I actually have three myself - pave VA in RG, magic Grey MOP in RG and magic malachite in YG and I wear them all though the pave ones get the most wear because they are low maintenance. But, it’s my malachite pair that makes me grin ear-to-ear every time I wear them.
I would say hold off on the carnelian if you are unsure of it and get the ones you are most confident about wearing. I do like the idea of you adding the WG VA earrings the most since you don’t have WG earrings in your collection yet. But, do you love WG? If yes, then that gets my vote.
::Raises hand:: Hoarder here~! You can never have too many! I think onyx YG or a WG would be a nice addition. Onyx is something that pops really well, and the WG will give you the WG option if you decide to wear WG jewelry.
