I have to run. Hope everyone has a fabulous day!
And thank you all for a wonderful Friday morning!
Bye Pugs, don't do anything we wouldn't do (without us!).
HEY! You went to NM yesterday!!! Details? Did you see the VCA??? Get shooz?? What?!

Bmom, I love that Passerelle bracelet! I'm not fond of the cord part, but I bet a rose gold chain wouldn't be hard to attach 
Oh dear! I've just seen some of the girls going into the disco! They'll eat the boys alive!!
Lol! Isn't that the truth at that age! I hope DS has fun!

What funny about that, OB, is I was thinking the same thing for a VCA charm...Why get the whole necklace when I can attach it to anything I want:devil:. The cord is what's keeping me from the Cartier bracelet too...
Especially when you see the price of the necklace!

Yes! I saw the Brandoff one! Which leads me to an ethics question (or just a): I'm torn between buying it local b/c my SA is sooo sweet and helpful and I've never given her a sale (in which I would pay tax but no shipping) or buy it off Eb or out of state and save the tax and shipping and then start saving again and eventually buy something from her (because I've been assured that you can never have just one VCA..) Thoughts? Thumps? Shooz? (duck!)
Here are some thoughts. I'm not sure if the BrandOff piece comes with the Certificate of Authenticity and not sure if that's a factor if you ever need your piece serviced. Is the COA worth $500? That's what you'd be saving buying the piece from BrandOff, including tax at a rate of 8.5%. It's practically 1/3 of a second single motif.
All you need to do is look at the VCA addicts thread for proof that these pieces are addictive.
The single motif is small, unless it's the Magic Alhambra. It can make a statement like the holiday piece but a single MOP is kind of like a starter necklace. I tried one on and ended up with a 10 motif.
You need to think long and hard about whether a single motif is going to be enough for you.
It's not a great logical argument by any means but I have a migraine so its as good as you're getting for now.
Feel free to fire away with VCA questions and if you want size comparison pics of the few pieces I have, I'd be happy to do that for you.
Especially when you see the price of the necklace!

No kidding! I know you can order a 16" gold chain for much less than $2k...add a few jump rings to attach it to the $1600 bracelet sans silk cord, and voila! Have I just talked myself into getting this bracelet?
Restricter, good point about the single motif not being "enough." I've been tempted by it because the price point is easier to swallow, but I think I'd always want the bigger impact of the 10 or 20 motif. But then again, I'm moving out of my dainty jewelry/small handbag stage of life. 5 years ago, I'd have gravitated towards the Sweet Alhambra collection and a mini Birkin 
:lolots: Maybe! Have you just talked me into the Cartier bracelet?
Oh, and sorry to hear about the migraine. Any news from the vet (and is that part off the reason for the migraine)?
:lolots: Maybe! Have you just talked me into the Cartier bracelet?
Okay, remind me which Cartier bracelet and let me see what I can come up with :devil:
The Cartier holiday Love bracelet would have been perfect for you then.
And OY, that Passerelles collection. Sugar Daddy, where are you?
