These are so pretty but I'm referring to the largest simple perlee hoops. Not these (incredibly beautiful) perlee clover diamond hoops.
I'll see if I can find a photo.
I'm referring to the larger hoops in the image above.
The pair with one of diamonds.
Photos simply can't do them justice...
I tried these earrings on in NYC and would have seriously considered them had I not just purchased an Hermes bag that same day.
Beautiful earrings, but are they kinda big ?
As in too big to wear with a business suit ?
Hard to tell from the photo
I'll send a text to my SA to ask for info -
Understand the Hermes part -
That's why it's taken me so long to get to this thread [emoji6]
I completely understand your concern about size.
The perlee hoops are the only hoops I wear. Mine are the plain version. They are not large at all..very tasteful. Perfect size.
I think they pair beautifully with letterwood but if you plan to wear them with a suit you may prefer the smaller pairs.
Please do try the diamond perlee hoops.
If you would like to see my plain hoops next to my letterwood (or next to other VCA earrings for size) I'm happy to share photos.
Also, the LE onyx earring with the diamond may also be a better and dressier choice for you. I would go to your fav VCA with some of your pieces and see what works best for you. Though with VCA Alhambra, it's hard to go too far wrong.
Hi TankerToad, you have already received some great advice here, but thought I would also chime in. I have the Letterwood single motif Magic long necklace. It is my most used necklace and have worn it several times per month for the last three years. I love it and the letterwood has held up extremely well. I agree, there is something really fantastic about letterwood. Against PG, it is just perfection!
I've GOT to stop reading this thread. Way too much temptation! 
Now, I'm thinking about a letterwood Magic...I've GOT to stop reading this thread. Way too much temptation!
Please excuse my awful attempt to photo my earrings and necklace at the same time.
I was trying to give you a perspective of the hoops size. Mine are pretty casual but the diamond hoops are WOW.
I've included my onyx pendant since somebody mentioned those (the earrings) along with my pave vintage earrings.
Hope this helps a bit.
The letterwood is really stunning against the pink gold!
