So interesting TGG. I thought about malachite a while back but wasn’t sure what it would match with :smile: I guess I don’t wear so much green.

Someone at work was selling her tiger eye bracelet a while back and I’m kicking myself for not jumping on it.

Malachite is beautiful worn with neutrals. In the summer it is crisp with white, for example. Wonderful with creams, tans,camel, chocolate brown even navy. I also love malachite with black.
Malachite has a nice "gemstone" quality. In fact, many of the same colors that I pair with turquoise also look nice with malachite.

Not an official LE
Limited due to few natural resources, perhaps.
Some boutiques will receive sooner than later.
It’s possible that many pieces have already pre sold their initial allotted inventory, hence the different answers.

One of my friend's SA told her that VCA is picking special clients for agate which absolutely annoyed her. She is in California and owns many high jewelry pieces..sigh.

Wow! I have no idea what's going on with VCA :hrmm::huh:
Thank you! I will pass on this information.

You are welcome!
I don't know why VCA SAs think these information are classified when everything is out on the internet. Like when I was talking with my SA about turquoise, she vehemently denies that turquoise was ever made in Alhambra earrings. :rolleyes: Thanks, money saved!!

I own turquoise earrings in both vintage and the sweet sizes.
I purchased mine from Neiman Marcus before we had our local VCA boutique.
Perhaps this SA is new (?) or could be confused with chalcedony.

I'm so disappointed by the 50th anniversary pieces. Fortunately, there are enough readily available pieces on my list to make up for it. BUT, I was really looking forward to having something to commemorate the occasion.

I understand how you feel.
This is one of the reasons why I decided to purchase this year’s holiday pendant.
It’s the only true limited item from this year and it’s golden ...like the 50th.
Its really pretty, too :smile:
