Hello ladies, I haven't been here for awhile as I had to swear off shopping for awhile. I caught the Ripka scheduling this week by accident. After having a good look at the current truffle earrings, I realized that the design has been changed from the ones i bought last year when I bought the necklace. The original design for the earrings is a much more complex, lacy design and different than the beads in the necklace. The new truffle earrings have the simpler design, same as the beads in the necklace. The original earrings feel a bit more weighty per bead, also. It's too bad the design was simplified, as the original design is particularly lovely. Thought I should give a heads up to anyone who was looking for the more lacy original design. I have ordered the truffle bead bracelet in the silver version and am looking forward to wearing it with the necklace and earrings. I hope the quality is good. I stopped buying Ripka altogether because everything I ordered was either badly made or defective. Just couldn't resist this matching bracelet!
