You are right. I loooove these earrings but the fact that I already have two pairs tells me that I must be whacko to lust for the small yg pair.
I'm trying to stay strong in order to hold out for the pave vintage earrings.
Someday :)

P, I just received my small Frivole YG from Mitch - I love them :smile1: He had to order them in from Paris since NM was sold out. He was very attentive from the beginning to the end of the whole process and kept me very informed throughout, since it took approximately 3 weeks.

I do find them larger than expected and they really are like little mirrors. I must thank my enablers on this thread (you know who you are) and you for recommending a Dream SA ;)

Hadassa, Congrats on your small YG Frivole! I have the small YG frivole and wear them all the time. They are a such a beautiful earring and so easy to wear. Frivole is one of my favorite VCA designs. Next time try the pave frivole on. They are such a gorgeous earring also. I do wear my small YG the most and the large YG are on my list!!!!!

Thank you cung :smile1: I thought you got yours already? Like others have already mentioned, I just love the 3D look of these earrings and the gold shines like crazy ;) With the wealth of experience on this forum we can make very informed decisions and well curated collections :smile1:

Congrats on your lovely new sparklies; I, too, can't wait to see them as I've been thinking of either the wg or the yg myself. I do hope you are on the mend soon and I send hugs from the dust of house renovations.

The posts are normal (standard) thickness – not too thick at all. As for the backs, they are poussette style backs which you should be able to do a search for online to see what style that is. I personally love them – they're extremely secure and I never have to worry about my earrings falling out. I do not find the sweets uncomfortable in the slightest, and I have sensitive ears. I wear them frequently. On occasion, the back will slip out of my hands as I am putting them on or taking them off. I have become careful to do this in a well lighted area just in case I drop one. However, this happens only very rarely.

Thank you so much, hopingoneday! The information you gave was very helpful! I did google the "pousette" backs and understand now what the style is. It sounds genius! I am very excited to try these! :-)

Hello again every one,

So after many recommendations and talks i went with (all in YG) socrate btf ring/MOP alhambra 10 motif /alhambra MOP 5 motif & bracelet.

My wife went absolutely crazy 👍 and looked really gorgeous with them on.


Now I have to decide on the earring. Small yg frivole was recommended to me but I still have 15k left, so should I go for other earrings? (Narrowed it down to these 3 even though there is a huge price difference)

1. YG paved Vintage Alhambra, small model.
13500$

2. YG Fleurette earstuds, small model.
15500$

3. Or you still recommend YG frivole small/large between these 3 choices?
5000$ / 6500$

Thanks!!!

Consider both the small yg frivole AND the yg pave vintage. This way your wife will have the dressed up as well as the more casual options.
Prices always increase so if you think that you will eventually buy them you would be wise to get them now if you can afford to do so.
You can probably find the pave second hand and save $

:hugs::love: Thank you Tutu. I have been reading about all your troubles with those dept stores. It seems that no one cares anymore about after sales service. Yes, sometimes products sell themselves but you do have that choice where to purchase and they should at least consider that.

That is why I had to compliment the SA that Penny recommended from NM. He is a dream to work with and when something seems impossible, he makes it happen ;) I hope to post a pic once I am over this flu :smile1:

The Frivole Pendant would be amazing with diamond studs. I have never seen it in person but I know the pave Frivole earrings are beautiful so I can only imagine a pendant! I can't think of a picture ever being posted but I will go back and check.

You ask "when will it end?" To be honest -it will never end. I have been obsessed for almost 10 years and it does not go away!
