For my birthday this past week, I treated myself to the pink gold/pave earrings. Waiting to receive them after the tension is loosened. I cannot wait!

I think these will be an everyday piece and I also plan to wear them for my upcoming wedding in September! (Whatever it takes to justify a purchase!) [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

I hope VCA will continue to expand their rose gold offerings!

Came across a Three-part article celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Alhambra. Thought I would share :smile:

The new stone and diamond pieces are beautiful and I love them on others, but they don't suit my lifestyle at all. My VCA collection is small in comparison to many here, but I've limited myself to only those things I love and can wear every day. Pave diamonds don't work in my day to day life.

I've said this before. I waited so long for the 50th anniversary only to be totally disappointed in the offerings. There are many of us who are devoted fans who don't live a "rich and famous" life.

Is my frustration starting to show??? :girlsigh:

Dear Ladies (maybe Gents)
For those of you who own Alhambra collection in both lapis and bleu sevres, would you mind taking photo(s) of side-by-side color comparison between the two?

Thank you so much.

CG, I think Part 3 of the article I posted speaks of these Luxury houses reaching their target audience - the Millennials. They are trying to do this through social media.

It also addresses what we have already spoken about here - We DO NOT purchase because celebrities or Instagrammers are wearing something. We have a TRUE APPRECIATION for the brand and we don't purchase because it's a HOT TICKET.

I am really sorry to see VCA take this path, because like you, I do feel let down by being sidelined as a loyal customer.
