Great video! I've watched your previous video regarding about this earring and I love it. So for my birthday I decided to made the purchase. I had the same problems, my pricing is very small and I was having a very hard time putting them on. Along with that, the backing is easy to put on, but hard to take off. I was surprised that every videos I came across no one really mentions about the post. I've been trying them on and off, still having a hard time to put it on. 🙂
Awww, Thank you so much for watching and supporting all the time darling! At beginning I thought that was only my problem then I decided to do this video, maybe someone else has the same problem. Have a wonderful day. Take care darling 🥰💕
Many people get used to the la pousette backings fairly quickly. Also VCA can give you the regular butterfly backings if you request it, don't assume that you have to wear them as is. They offer many customization options!
Thanks for this video Irene ♥️ For my ear piercings, I prefer the shorter post. For most of my earrings, I want to cut off a few mm off the length 😂 The only perfect earring post I found was the Cartier Love single earring. That one is short enough and secure. Thanks for all the details you provided, so helpful 🙏🏼😍
I tried these with my perlee hoops in my second piercing. You are right! I struggled with getting them off. Great idea and very affordable as well! Thanks for sharing! 🤗
Very good vídeo, thanks for sharing my dear Irene. Wonderful and beautiful Alhambra earrings collection *A GREAT JOB* Have a nice day. God bless you and family 👌👍🌹❤️🍀🙏
Happy birthday dear Irene! Those are lovely blue roses! I prefer that double lock back for security reason. I sometimes use silicone as well because it doesn't hurt my ears when sleeping. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences! I've learned something new and interesting ♥
We are so very happy you like our roses ❤️🌹. We invite you to discover all our collections on our website page. And if you have any questions do not hesitate to let us know.
Hi Irene. Thank you for doing this review. Like you I watched lots of RU-vid videos about this sweet Alhambra earrings and you’re so right about no one mentioning the three cons that you did. Had I known about the cons, I would have not bought them. But since I have them, I finally got accustomed to using the VCA backs and can feel the edge to squeeze the backing when removing the earrings. But at the beginning I struggled to find the right spot and that cause tugging and my earlobes got very red and irritated. Also, the post is unusually thick and my earlobes got red and inflamed each time I wore them. My solution: I put a bit of Neosporin ointment on the post to minimize the irritation to my earlobes and maybe I stretched the holes a little by wearing the earrings daily for a couple of weeks. Now, I can wear the earrings as is without any irritation. I do clean the posts with rubbing alcohol before and after each time I wear them. Thanks for sharing about the plastic backs from Amazon.
Awww, Thank you so much for sharing. Really appreciate it. I will try your way. Many Thanks for watching and supporting. Have a wonderful day darling 😘🙏
You're not supposed to wear the earrings as is if they don't fit your ears perfectly. VCA can adjust your earrings in multiple ways: longer or shorter posts, thicker or thinner posts, higher or lower post position, and tighter or loose tension for post backings. You should definitely schedule an appointment with your SA to go through all the options so the earrings can fit comfortably on you. I have the sweet pave alhambra as well and I've opted for the thinner & longer posts because I have thick earlobes. According to my SA, their earrings can be adjusted multiple times for free!
Beautiful earrings Irene and it’s so helpful of you to inform viewers not only the pros but also the cons so thank you!! Have a wonderful week my dear friend 🌷💕🌷💕🌷

Amazing review my dear friend. I love that u shared the cons and difficulty using the closure it has and the hack for it. Really a game changer. TY for sharing Irene 🥰🥰🥰
Happy Birthday🎊 and fabulous review! I love how honest you are. Makes me think twice but I think the look is stunning and adding the backs make a difference. Thank you for sharing♥
I have the exact same earrings and I love it. I’m not having a hard time maybe because my fingers are small and I have short nails. I wish i had gotten the vintage size though to make it more visible. I feel like this sweet alhambra earrings are only good for casual and not for special occasions. Great video, thanks for sharing
Great video. Thank you so much for pointing out the cons and great solution with the Amazon purchase. You look so elegant today. I hope you are having a good week so far darling. ♥️
Thank you Irene! We could always count on you for the minimalist details that matter so much when trying to decide if something will work for us or not. Ty and a Happy Birthday to you darling 💌💐🥂😘
Congratulations darling and Thank you so much for watching and supporting darling. I think you need to practice a couple of times. I started to wear them and now i feel so much better. Hopefully you will be too. Have a wonderful weekend darling 😘🙏
This video is SO HELPFUL! Thanks Irene. I was considering these earrings but they have the same backing as the Cartier love earrings that are sold as a pair.
This also applies to Cartier earrings, they also use similar backings that require a push-in mechanism for the removal process. Just thought I would throw it out there
You are right. I do have a video talked about cartier trinity and love hoop earrings . Thank you so much for watching darling. Have a great evening darling 🙏💕
Beautiful earrings! I’ve heard that a lot of people have issues with the thick post and one of them has said that Van Cleef can adjust the post thickness free of charge.
I had to give away my Hermes earrings because of the same issue. I think more expensive earrings have this back for security. But it hurts my fingers when putting it on or taking it off. I should also buy those silicon backings!
Rose Gift is beyond Beautiful..a Gift that keeps giving!🌹🌹🌹 I learn something new today! You always give Gifts that are priceless every week: Your Time and your displays of lovely Elegance..XieXie🍷
Happy, happy birthday, dear Irene.🥳🎉 May all your birth wishes come true. 🍀🍀Such a great video. That's the same backings for my Hermes and LV earrings. I agree. It's sometimes hard to take off. The larger VCA earrings have different backings. I wanted the sweet VCA earrings someday. 😍Thank you for sharing. 😃❤
Gorgeous earrings and you are right the thickness of the post and difficulty removing the back is not spoken of. I too love these rubber/plastic backings. However, Irene... Please *Change them Out* as needed because the *Rubber/Plastic Material Will BREAKDOWN* due to oils heat water etc and become loose. You do Not want to lose these Gorgeous earrings. TFS-Very Informative. 💯🥰🌺
Irene.... do you own a pair of Ana Luisa Post Earrings? If so, give one of their backings a try. If they work they do have backings on sale on their site. Hope this helps. You look Gorgeous Hun.🌺
Oh, thank you so much for let me know. I will definitely check out with them. Thank you so much for watching and supporting darling. Have a wonderful day. Take care darling 🥰🙏
These are my favorite earrings and I wear them all the time. I keep them on when I shower and sleep and i have no problems with the backing. I have fairly small ear lobes so maybe that helps, not sure.
Funny I have the same earrings and same problem and I used the rubbery back from my other earrings same like you have from Amazon ❤️thanks for bringing this up ❤️
That's a brilliant idea with the silicone backing. I actually own the pave sweet earstuds and the onyx as well, I must admit that putting them on and off was difficult at first but then I got used to it. The backing was difficult to put on as the front was very smooth and I couldn't find the hole easily so I started wearing the backs backward lol it was easier to find where to place the post. I prefer the sweet size over the vintage or the magic but I love the 2 motifs earrings as well. Great video as always! :)
Happy Birthday, Irene!! These are my favorite earrings and though I do not have any of the problems you mentioned, I almost wish mine felt harder to remove for security reasons! Perhaps the store could help you adjust them so they are easier to use and more comfortable?
I have the same earring back for my DeBeers diamond studs and they are the most secure and comfortable. I have stopped wearing earrings that Have a screw back because they would keep digging into the back of the ears during sleep.
Hi Irene you really do good review on vca earrings, I have earlobe irritation after 3rd I am wearing it on my mop vca sweet and I wearing it to sleep I believe so the post a bit thicker compared to normal earrings I was wondering if someone has same issue I found it in detail on your video thank you for review Irene
VCA can adjust your earrings in multiple ways: longer or shorter posts, thicker or thinner posts, higher or lower post position, and tighter or loose tension for post backings. If you really find the la pousette backings difficult or annoying, they can change it to the regular butterfly backings so you don't have to resort to the cheap silicone backings from amazon - you really don't want to use them on your expensive earrings they're not secured at all. You should definitely schedule an appointment with your SA to go through all the options so the earrings can fit comfortably on you. I'm surprised your SA didn't already walk you through the customization options when you were purchasing them. I have the sweet pave alhambra and I've opted for the thinner & longer posts because I have thick earlobes, I'm fine with the la pousette backings because they're just as secured as screw backs so I left them as is, got used to them after taking them off and on in a few times. According to my SA, their earrings can be adjusted multiple times for free!
@@fabulousirene Ahh no wonder! Their e-boutique staff are really friendly as well so if you call in to inquire about their adjustment options they'll be able to assist you with it, or you can stop by any boutique near you so you get some sweet treats there too. I love VCA jewelry so would love you to fully enjoy them as well ☺
Thank you 😊 I have the same issue with my Louis Vuitton Fine Jewelry too. I’ll definitely try your method of using Amazon plastic ones. Could you please link it as I couldn’t find it.
Thank you so much for watching and supporting darling! I haven’t changed post yet, but I will definitely think about the option. Have a great day/night darling 😘🙏
I have the same issue with the post thickness but VCA local has not received any of the sweets so I haven’t been able to try on so I haven’t purchased it 🤷♀️
Irene, after watching your video I noticed that my earrings have only one safety catch, I think you said yours have two? I wonder if that’s why yours are much harder to remove?
Yes, I have two catches. Did you buy yours long time ago? Thank you so much for watching and supporting darling. Have a wonderful day. Take care darling 🥰🙏
If you look on Fashionphile there are some posted there that show the posts, all the ones I looked at have one safety catch. I think you are lucky! I wish mine had two!!
@@littleluxuries_435 :oh, good to know. I think new version has two catches. I have Cartier earrings and also have two catchers. Many Thanks darling 🥰🙏
Yeah exactly what i had shared earlier about the back hook. I went to the store to try it on, huh...so so small and i can't remove it myself. The SA trying to sell it saying i will get used to it but i doubt so. It is also so so small. I know the earring is small but the hook i think they should make it a bit bigger. After trying it on, is a no no for me. I do not really have a lot of patient to slowly slowly take it off. Yes the post is very very short too. That why it makes it hard to put on and removed. Good game changer but with such a high price point of item, frankly i expect certain kind of perfection. Not saying all luxury houses are perfect or not many nowadays but what a shame to them. I hope they will improve on all these. So the problem is not just on you. Even in the store when i just tried it on, i quickly found that out. Good that they allow me to try since i thought i can't try it during this Covid. They just sanitized it. Oh one more con, the Onyx seems to have a lot of finger prints. i know from far one can't see but when you look closer, it does have this. The SA briefly mentioned she has to wipe it before selling because of this. So this is a Con for me. Thanks for sharing.
I have tried the same pair of earring and I also felt the pin was too short and the back was so hard to be taken off, thus I decided not to buy that pair
