Hmmm. Was always too lazy to put it together but I don’t have as much as I thought I did. Definitely holes to fill. I guess I’m a bracelet and earrings girl.

MIA:
WG and carnelian 5 motif
WG guilloche holiday pendant

Most worn: sweet pave studs by miles (3-4 times per week)
Least worn: 10 motif (but I'm hoarding it)

Next:
Ring
Pendant

so gorgeous, even though I am not a WG gal, but I am drooling over yours! and I love Chalcedony stone, so dreamy. Please do me/us a favor, try to put on the Chalcedony more often, maybe you will fall in love wearing it. :)

For me, the earrings I wear the most are lightweight (forget I have them on) and blingy and white metal. That’s why I wore my 2.3 ctw studs for four years exclusively. I’m a small stud type person. I don’t change earrings much and I used to wear them 24/7 and sleep with them. When I got into vca, these sweet pave studs are the closest to diamond studs but with a different look. I really appreciate the fine detailed craftsmanship on such a micro level. The sweet pave have exactly the same number of stones as the vintage size but much tinier. Imagine the labor that goes into creating these, every polished bead, every little prong. The diamond are just as white and well cut. I can stare at the sweet earrings forever. But I am in the minority as many vca lovers prefer the vintage size, which I have too, but don’t wear nearly as much. So it depends on your lifestyle and your preferences.

Thank you for taking the time! The level of craftsmanship really is extraordinary. I look forward to seeing both of these in person one day!

Hi I’m considering between these two sizes and mini frivole pave. By any chance do you have a picture wear the vintage and sweet size. does the sweet sparkle much? Thank you
 
I have to tell you that years ago, I saved pictures of your wg collection! The onyx, mop, and turquoise were my favorites! I was too late for Alhambra turquoise, unfortunately, so I had to settle for just a pair of Perlee turquoise earrings! So anyway, I just wanted you to know that your collection was one of the ones that really inspired me!

I am enjoying seeing all the beautiful wg collections on this thread!
