WTB Van Cleef and Aprels Yellow Gold mini frivole earrings

[adlgel]

Hello - I am trying to round out my yellow gold/diamond jewelry capsule and I right now it's missing a pair of classic non-dangly earrings. I'd love to buy the VCA mini yellow gold frivole earrings but prefer to buy pre-loved. If anyone is ever interested in selling, I'd love to be considered. Thanks.

@adlgel Have you tried the mini on? They really are very very small, and combined with the plain polished metal and whimsical design - I think they can look a little too cutesy, especially on a more mature woman. I personally think the Small is a much more timeless and traditional “forever” size.

I have not - VCA is the one luxury jewelry store that does not have a location nearby. What I like about the mini size is that for someone with average sized lobes it seems like it would sit more directly on the lobe. Whereas the small size seems to have a good portion of the earring hanging below the lobe. Picture of small shown below.

I guess basically I’m looking for something more akin to a “stud” style earring but with more design elements than a plain stud vs a statement post earring if that makes sense.
Whereas pictures I’ve seen of the small it appears to hang off the bottom of the lobe and I don’t like that look as much for a post earring.

I own the mini in WG - I wear them as a daily earring in place of diamond studs. ( I sold most of my diamond stud earrings - I fell out of love with them).
I am in my 50's and find them very wearable and fun. I think it depends on the wearer how the earring is viewed. I personally wouldn't be comfortable wearing the small size all day everyday- I find them a bit more "dressy".

Good luck in your search!
