Dear etoupebirkin, I think you are so sweet and I will definitely keep your words in mind! However I saw your comment a touch too late and told my fiancée that I wanted an exchange. He was sooo kind that he went to the shop again (all the way from Canary Wharf) and did the exchange for me! I really feel blessed and now I truly feel that either WG or YG, the earrings will remind me of his love and care and I will be happy whenever I see them.
And thank you so much for everyone who helped me make the decision! I will probably get the earrings on Tuesday and now I just cannot wait!
Does anyone watch RHONY (I'm not ashamed). Ramona has been sporting a WG Perlee + Perlee Clover bangle combo in Mexico..
Yes I watch that show
Aren't those VCA "inspired"? I've never seen all onyx 3 motif earrings and she is also sort of "cheap" in regards to some of her things and jewelry seems to be one. Didn't she have her own jewelry line on QVC a few years ago? Maybe this is from that line.
I've been watching her wrist every Wednesday night, they appear to be the WG Perlee and the WG Signature bracelets, worn together. . Also noticed the 3 motif onyx earrings and was wondering if VCA used to make these? Maybe she special ordered them.
Hmmmm. You are correct, Ramona did have a cheap jewelry line which Bravo incorporated into the story line one season...Yes I watch that show
Oh yes, I did spot her WG Perlee bracelets and thought they looked legit and made me dream of them more ☺️ Guess she spends on a few nice pieces but not for everything. I get it, but don't like when others knowingly copy a big brands creations. The 3 motifs don't look exactly right enough to be VCA Hmmm.... so funny so many of us notice others VCA (drool)

Thanks Hadassa & Roory for your replies.
I didn't end up getting the magic mop in wg. Somehow, imo it didn't look good together. The wg washed out the mop and made it look so pale, esp on me. 90% of my jewelries are wg & platinum but I have come to accept that VCA alhambras look so much better on yg. So I guess I'll be collecting yg from now on.
I love, love butterflies. I was so tempted with turquoise sweet butterfly but the alpha backing system was such a pain in the ... I prefer the clip system. I also tried the lucky butterfly earrings but looked so dressy but omg they were so beautiful! If only I could wear them casually.
So to satisfy my butterfly obsession, I opted for this one and I love that I could wear it anyday, everywhere!

Not to be an evil enabler, but...why can't you wear the lucky earrings casually? I genuinely feel that with most pieces it's just a matter of self-perception. Throw it on with jeans and a tee! Anything goes, it's just your comfort level.
100% agree! Personal perception. I think the lucky earrings in gagabags pic can be worn casually (but not workout clothes) and look appropriate. She should get them!
I agree with BBC.
In fact, I find that the TE magic earrings look more casual than dressy anyway.
Whimsical and fun!! The beauty of VCA is how highly wearable it is. I wear pave earrings with jeans and a t shirt.
Can't echo the sentiments already expressed here enough gagabag.
Don't know if you are a ring person but the earring combo also comes in a BTF ring. [photo credits galmeetsglam]
She is SO PRETTY and wears VCA so well.
Every time I see this photo I want to run straight to VCA and buy the small yg friviole earrings.
