What are the options for changing earring posts? My SA says that we can only lengthen the earring post, but not change the thickness. But, I’ve read posts here saying that we can change the post to longer, thinner ones. My SA also mentioned that there will be a charge for this service. But, I thought that adjustments to earrings are free. Please let me know what is possible

My SA from the US boutique told me changing the posts to longer and/or thinner ones are free, or at least for the 12 months from purchase. They can adjust the posts to position higher or lower to your liking too.
I have the same issue. I have a Pure Alhambra YG MOP 14 motif and I find it sits perfectly. ☺️
I think it looks lovely on you. I have a RG sweet Alhambra heart and I love the how dainty and easy to wear it is for everyday and it’s great to layer with my YG pieces. Enjoy!
Dear friends I seek your help (and frustrated because I just typed in this whole question and it got deleted...ugh). Paging especially @BigAkoya, @eternallove4bag, @880, @EpiFanatic and whoever wants to chime in to help me out.
I currently have the Frivole Small YG (photo attached so you can see proportion on my lobe). I want: A) Pave VA YG earrings, B) Single row Pave Perlee YG bracelet, C) Frivole Pave earrings (YG), D) Frivole Pave BTF ring, in no particular order. WG is something I will tackle down the road (have blingy WG earrings to suit me for now).
For C, I'm not sure if I should go with the small, since they are available, or hold out for the large Pave, if those are even attainable. I'm tall (5'9) long blond hair so I don't want them to be diminished. Don't have an opportunity to try any on for some time. If the small are basically "good" but the large "ideal" for me then I'll move on to the bracelet or something else (like B, D, or the Cartier Panthere ring I fell in love with in January) and wait.
You know, thinking on this I'm pretty sure if I had both the small and large Pave Frivole in front of me and had the chance to try on both I'd take the large in a heartbeat (ie, go big or go home), but if those are basically unattainable I won't have that choice......

I don't think I've ever seen large pave Frivole earrings? I know I've seen the mini pave and the small pave Frivoles. Unless its a special order I think small is the largest pave version they have in the standard collection. I find small pave Frivole show stopping and give off a decent amount of bling. Someone correct me if I am wrong re: large size pave Frivole - I know they do the YG large mirror version....
Thank you for that! If you are right that saves me a lot of decision agonizing (because I tend to over-rotate with the decision making sometimes....
)
Lol I hear you! I’m 99.9999% sure but let’s see if someone else chimes in soon just to verify. I think they are a beautiful choice and IF they made large pave they would be incredible but if not I believe small is substantial enough to pack a punch of bling. Good luck - you have a fabulous plan in place and I hope you secure them all soon!Thank you for that!

I haven't seen the large either @WingNut - but I think based on your pic above that the small would be gorgeous and substantial enough on you.
I own the pave frivole earrings in wg and was interested in a yg version but wanted them to be the same size as my large yg mirror frivole earrings. It is possible to make a "large" frivole pave but it would be a special order as I am considering it. However, I did not pursue as I got distracted with a pair of snowflake earrings lol! and bought those instead. Wingnut this should help you in your decision as it takes an option off the table, at least as a standard purchase. My SA estimated the large frivole SO would come in cost wise comparable to the cosmos but as I stated I did not request a formal SO, still thinking about it.
@WingNut - based on how the small frivole looks on your earlobe I think you are absolutely right. You can totally pull off the large pave frivole and the large size would allow the Frivole to partially hang off the ear, which in my opinion is the prettiest and whole point of the design of the earring. Below is a link to my friend’s pave large SO and it looks perfect on her. This is the size I would go for if I were you.

Post your frivole pieces here
If I stack my single row at all I stack with my signature or a leather Hermes bracelet. I tried to love it with the perlee d’or or the clover. Although so gorgeous, the clover just never felt “me”. I also have a 5 inch wrist and the clover felt overwhelming on my wrist. And I’m a person of...

Those.... are incredible!!!
From your pretty pic, I think either the large or the small pave frivole earrings would look stunning on you! (With the large having an even more “wow” factor I think, based on the fact that you are tall). You have excellent taste, almost all of these are on my wish list too (in RG)!
Oh gosh I remember seeing those. Oh no.....I am doomed. Ugh. The small might "do" for me but the large are just "wow". I'll survive the night without purchasing the smalls. I need to get my arse into an actual VCA and probably buy all the other things on my list before I'd be granted an opportunity to get those.
