Just seeing this request! Here are a few pics of mine. I always ask the SA to make sure to keep the original two lengths and add another jump ring at 18 inches.

Thanks for these pics. Am pondering whether to lengthen as well. Very helpful photos and seems like a good idea to keep the original jump rings though does anyone actually ever where a vintage size pendant at 14 inch???

Also wondering if adding the 2 inches only to the jump ring side of the chain will make it sit unevenly with the clasp off to one side. I was under the understanding that some people ask for equal links to be added to both the jump ring and the clasp side of the chain to ensure its even?
 
Just wondering. When I was talking to my SA about extending the chain within first 3 months for free, I also mentioned that I might engrave it. He seemed to say that the engraving is still complimentary even after 3 months. Anyone get similar advice on this?

Hi! Congrats on your new pendant. On engraving, for what it's worth, engraving branded jewelry like this pendant will make it less desirable on the resell market. I would only engrave it if you are 110% sure you will never want to sell it. I am not sure of your age, but one day, you may get tired of a pendant and want something more substantial. I have both branded jewelry and custom made jewelry. For custom jewelry, I think it's cute to add a bit of personalization, but for me, I would not engrave branded pieces.

If you want something personalized, maybe leave the VCA pendant alone (don't engrave it) and purchase a locket and have it hand engraved.

Just my thoughts to share with you for a different view. Hope this helps.

Thx for your thoughts. Yep I'm still in two minds about whether to engrave it but it was given to me by hubby as a 10 yr anniversary present so doubt I'll be reselling it =p. If anything might pass down to my daughter one day.

I’ve had both of my pendants engraved as I have no intention of selling them but will give them to my daughter one day. And yes you can have it engraved at anytime. In addition to this one, my other one was over a year old when it was engraved.
