hahaha that's what I thought! You have done an awesome job picking up every piece...if it was me, at this point I would only add a special piece...which explains your desire for SO. How about adding that Rolex and completing the RG/YG wardrobe? I have a feeling that you would still want gmop pendant tho lol

Rami, thank you for your very lovely words.

I am going to get that Rolex Day-Date in solid Everose RG. That'd complete my RG/YG wardrobe nicely, like you've said.

Now, I am itching for something SO. Not sure what I'd like though. @lynn_ross made and excellent point which hadn't even crossed my mind. I really want a Magic pendant something to complement my Magic earrings in pave YG....not sure what though...

View attachment 4327129 First time pairing these two together. Do you think the yg and rg look ok together?

Those look beautiful together. I mix and match my YG and RG all the time.

View attachment 4324167 At the boutique right now and wow I love the pave thanks for the suggestions ladies. Now to decide on the 5 motif. Do you think it’s ok on me?

Beautiful!

Does anyone know what this VCA alhambra was called? Do you know if it came in multiple sizes? I seem to think that it did . . .

I recently bought the Frivole earrings WG with pave diamonds. Im wanting a pendant with it. I find the Frivole WG pave pendant too small so I checked to see if VCA would SO the larger size, which they would. The issue it Im still not happy with that size. What do you all think if I mixed it and got the Magic Alhambra Pendant in WG with Pave? Or is it best to match the earrings?? Confused!!

I have this picture saved. Hope it will give you the visual to help you decide.
I love it

I think these two together are pretty gorgeous, and until I read your post a second time, did not recognize that you had mixed the pave frivole with the pave alhambra.

I have the frivole earrings in YG in both the large and medium sizes and often mix them with my alhambra necklaces. I usually like things that match, but the fact they don't doesn't bother me. Instead, because they are similarly shaped I think they're very compatible with one another.

has anyone seen the guilloche earrings recently at their boutique? i waited too long and they’re all sold out here in Canada apparently! [emoji24][emoji24][emoji24]my SA says it may take 6-8 months for restock bc worldwide shortage.

I am in Australia and there’s only one pair and she has to bring them in from another city. Now it makes me wonder if I should grab it!!

Only if you want it . . . scarcity alone shouldn't be reason enough.

Ladies, I would like to pick your brains.
I am thinking of adding a pair of yg earrings to my collection. I only have two pairs (Frivoles and Tiffany Victoria). Most of my jewelry is white gold and the only yg pieces I have are Vendôme pendant, Cartier double row juste en clou pavé and love bracelet. I am always struggling with what earrings should I pair the pendant with. Would VA yg pavé look too much? What are your thoughts? What would you pair it with?
Thank you for your help

I would weigh in, but I’m probably not the person to ask - I wear my six motif necklace with my three motif earrings.

Oh WOW! It does look great. The Magic Alhambra that i tried on was the pave with the shorter chain & is not removable. But its also $3700 less than this version. Amazed at the price difference!

I love her pictures and love how well she wears the Magic size earrings !

I am a huge fan of the Magic size and find that these days I wear them more than the Vintage size .

Here are my options with my WG frivole pave earrings The long Magic Pendant which is $3700 more & has a loop on the pendant or the short chain with the non detachable Magic pendant. I had just pulled the long chain back to get it closer to my neck, but the chain would be double if one is to wear it properly. Should I be spending another $3700 for the detachable one??

Gorgeous on you!

If you’re never going to wear it long, then you have to decide if that option is really worth it for you. The non-detachable version lays really nicely on you.

Are there diamonds on the “loop”? I like the way that one looks hanging on the chain and because it’s a large pendant, a doubled chain would look very nice and substantial. I had a thought...if you’d never wear it long, (doubled) would you be able to have VCA put a larger jump ring about 3/4 down on the chain so you could wear it longer, just not as long as the entire single length. Then you could have a length between doubles and fully long. I don’t know what kind of clasp the chain has but if the jump ring doesn’t have to be very large it wouldn’t be noticeable. Not sure I explained that clearly!
