Hi Isabella! I bought two 10 motif in solid rose gold and in onyx. I have one 10 motif in carnelian and perhaps purchase another 10 motif. I have never regretted not getting a 20 motif. I love long necklace, but I like wearing 10 motif, too.
I only found these pics in my PC. 2 10 motif in PG and two 10 + 5 motif in onyx. In the pic, you may think the clasps are visible, but people do not notice until you tell so. However, if you only wear it long, in 20, of course you'd better get 20 motif.
Wow! Absolutely gorgeous!
I totally understand how you feel! It was difficult not being near a boutique. I probably drove my SA crazy with my constant questions and what ifs? She was extremely patient and understanding and advised me to go with 2 10 motifs, which I did, one 10 motif Onyx and a 10 motif MOP. I loved them but they felt a little too choker-like. I got them each lengthened by 2", but I find myself wishing I'd bought a 20 motif onyx and a Magic alhambra MOP long necklace instead! I'm also a little OCD and although VCA clasps are elegant and blend in very nicely, the fact I know they're showing is enough to bother me!
So amazing ChaneLisette!!!
I am hoping to make it down to my local VCA this week or next. All that green in all it's beautiful shades is making me want to try the malachite. Green just happens to be my most favorite color and honestly I had moved it down the list, but now.......
You have fantastic pieces. Congratulations again!!!!
Thanks so much! I'm loving green lately, and Malachite is just so beautiful! I highly recommend it!
TGG, I would so enable you to get these small yg vintage pave earrings - you've been wanting these instead of the plain gold for a while.
I just have one question - Do you find that the Frivole Pave sit up better on the ear lobe than the small YG?
So beautiful!!!I have these in WG. I want the YG ones, too!!!
Stunning! I'm adding these to my wish list too
thanks friends!! ❤️☺️
Thanks purseinsanity!! I love the 10's length especially when I am in a simple dress. When I wear jeans or in a casual outfit, I prefer the long length. Oh, by the way, your PG JUC looking so gorgeous! I have the same one and normally wear it solo, or with Pelree Signature. I am getting PG 4-diamond Love soon!

Thank you! Cartier is also fun to stack isn't it?
Me! Waving my hand frantically in the air...me, me, me!!!!
However, my list priorities change from day to day and sometimes minute to minute based on the discussions and beautiful photos here. For instance, I would never have considered the lotus earrings until someone showed them on the thread Celebrities and VCA, or even the yg pave alhambra earrings shown recently here.TGG, I'm with you on the revenge shopping. It took years for me to get my husband to adjust to the idea that he could call my SA at Chanel and she would just messenger over what I wanted - the thought of him entering Chanel just was more than he could comprehend and scared him silly - truly. Until last year, I used to buy my own gifts and wrap them myself - that allowed me to get bigger and better - usually much bigger and better - because he was so uncertain and apprehensive when entering that world. Now I am moving him to VCA - we are going through the very same thing - it's a learning curve and a comfort thing. I'm predicting he will say " I haven't done anything for you yet", ( it will be December 24th) and I will gladly get to say " Don't worry I'll take care of it!". The things I have learned over 28 years of marriage.
Gotta love a man who is afraid of the world of fashion and jewelry and just wants me to be happy.
Hello Hadassa !!
Technically the pave frivole earrings should sit the same way that the small yg frivole earrings do since they are the same size. For some reason I don't notice the backing on the pave as much- perhaps the sparkly diamonds are distracting. I only have the large yg and the pave.
I very interested in the pave vintage earrings. I do have them in yg and want to kick myself for buying those. ( and the mop) because they pretty much disappear on my ears and I should have put that money toward the pave.
I have them also in turquoise, onyx and malachite. Those I wear (and enjoy ) a lot.
