I would appreciate some advice on my next purchase: earrings.
Sorry for all of the background info
I currently have the white mop with gold vintage earclips, white gold pave vintage necklace and the 6 stone necklace with grey mop/white mop/chalcedony in white gold.
I am a "cool winter" coloring. Very very dark brown hair, green hazel eyes, pale skin with pink undertones, pink lips and cheeks, black eyebrows and eyelashes.
I am not trying to choose earrings to go with my necklaces, since my white mop matches everything and looks more understated so it can pair with a necklace without overdoing it.
I have tried the following earrings already, and they do not work for me due to washing me out: all pink gold vintage, all white gold frivole (only a problem with VCA, non-VCA platinum or white gold is all I can usually wear next to my face), turquoise (only sweets in white gold available to try, but sadly the color really washed me out), onyx also washed me out (though I wear a lot of black otherwise!).
Also, I know that any brownish color does not work for me.
I know the obvious choice is pave, but it really is above my price range right now.
I only want single motif earrings, even the vintage size is too heavy and pulls down my earlobes, but after buying the sweets I find I have shrinkage syndrome and my vintage size looks so much better with my long hair. So the only mini/sweet size I am considering right now is the frivole because it looks so much bigger.
I bought carnelian to try because it looked really good in the boutique, but at home it washed me out badly.
These worked for me in the boutique: yellow gold frivole minis (no stock, but I tried it with a pendant placed against my ear), but yellow gold NEVER works for me, so I'm wondering if it is the lighting of the boutique (in Neiman Marcus). They have not much stock, but things can be ordered in.
So these are my choices:
1) chalcedony or grey mop look great on me, but these are both special order only in the single motif vintage size, correct?
2) mini or small yellow gold frivole (the mini looks great actually, never tried the small due to no stock here).
3) malachite? Seems like a good color for me, but worried it might wash me because I can never predict anything with VCA (none to try, can only be ordered).
4) Any chance the all white gold vintage would wash me out less than the white gold frivole?
This forum has given me great advice before about previous purchase, so any thoughts about earring choices are appreciated
Did you have it made in RG or YG? It is hard to tell from the photo. I would love this in a 5 motif bracelet. Please provide details how and where you had VCA make this for you. I assume it was a special order. So beautiful!
