WF Dreams of Africia Earrings

[caolsen]

Quick Question: Has anyone seen these in person; the Dreams of Africia Earrings?

I ordered a pair in yellow gold as they look great online and I was really impressed with my first interaction with WhiteFlash. I was able to get them with screw backs (yeah) at no additional chage. You have to love that. They will be an alternative to my 1.00 TCW studs. The ACA melee looked so delicate and pristine on the website pics that I was powerless to not pick up the phone and call....

Have you received them yet? I''m curious about them, too. Please post photos!

 

[caolsen]

I don't have them yet. Maybe late next week. When I have them in the flesh I will post pics

Waiting is so tiresome.....

I haven''t seen them in person, but I can''t wait to see what they look like when you get them! They''ve always appealed to me. I hope you love them!

There are a couple of ear shots from this thread: https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/show-me-your-diamond-studs.51981/page-8

Skiace15 had them made with rubies:

yes, I have seen them in person bought them in wg, and then I sold it, not sure if I have any pictures of it, but to be honest, they just reminds me and looks too much like Mickey mouse figure

(bought them all in diamonds) I couldn''t get past the mickey ears thing, and didn''t want to return them as the proceeds goes to charity....

D&T, you''ve confirmed my worst fears about the design. Well, maybe WF can offer some more options. It''s a cause I''d like to support.

ahh I found a picture that I saved.

I think they''re pretty - my mom has a similar necklace (3 diamonds in that orientation) and I love it - but I do prefer studs or hoops for earrings

Thanks, D&T - the photo is helpful. Actually, seeing them in your photos, I''m not getting the "Mickey Mouse" feeling. So maybe I just need to see them in person. I must admit, I sometimes get the "Mickey Mouse" feeling from the bezeled pendants from BGD and other vendors -- but then later when I see photos on the person, it doesn''t look that way.

DT-that was good of you to resell versus returm.

Thanks for pciture. I have to admit that I hate all things Disney so I did not think about Mickey Mouse but see the fear/potential. But they looked really nice on you!

I have wore studs for 20+ years and am looking for a change. I can't wear hoops and anythign that hangs or weights more than about .50 pointers weight. (Werid ear thing, my piece hole is way low and long on one side-apparently I have bad ear tissue! I even tried to get it fixed by a plastic surgeon who said no dice) I have to stick to small studs and pearl studs.

I hope mine sparkle as much as your did!

As long as the earrings are turned so the smaller diamonds are on the top, there shouldn't be that mickey mouse feeling. In fact, from the photos, I didn't see that UNTIL it was mentioned.

 

[D&T]

it was sparkly, and I"m sure you will enjoy them, I'm glad the pictures helped but these earrings were just not for me. I'm sure it will give you many years of pleasure though. Yay! and the funds went towards a great cause too!

Ditto this. Thanks for posting the pics D&T!

I''m still intrigued. Wish I could pop over to WF and try them on!!!

Awesome!

They are in the mail and should be on the doorstep when I get home.

I love that WhiteFlash sent a picutre and a confirmation email that the studs where in the mail. Great Customer Service!

Here is the photo they sent.

Okay, second time in the charm

Here is an ear shot. They look really nice and are very comfortable to wear. I am really pleased.

I will wear then 24/7 (outside of few times a month when I put longer ones on for special events) so I will let everyone know how they wear.

The folks at WhiteFlash were great. I am a customer service executive with a multi billion dollar company and they wowed me (and that is hard).

Sorry for the crappy iphone pictures.
