What are your thoughts on this piece?
If any lovely ladies here have it, can you please post some pics?

I currently have the YG MOP five motif, should I get the YG MOP vintage necklace instead to make it a set.

I have been in contact with a personal shopper who can get me the PG Magic but I’m not sure if I should do it or not.

thoughts? Opinions? TIA!

I would also love to have it, although the white gold mop Magic pendant is on my list. The separation between the pendant and bracelet would likely make the gold difference not as noticeable. However, my decision would be influenced by the extra fee that the personal shopper charges, since if it comes close to the price of the long magic yg pendant, I might prefer that piece since it can be worn long or short.

I think the magic that can be worn long or short is about 5k. The retail for the Ginza Magic is 2900usd? I would be paying about $500 for the service which I don’t think is that bad.

Wow, I am surprised it's only $2900 since the VA mop in yg is $2540. That's not bad at all.

Hi! DS2006!

One of my friend has the Magic Ginza edition. The size is between VA and regular Magic I believe. I think it was just under 500,000 yen(incl. the tax). Will come back with the exact price if you need:smile:

It depends on the exchange rate, but around $4200 after tax?

That amount is closer to what I thought it would be. I know of someone who ordered one of the other location specific Magic pendants recently, and it was also over $4000 usd total. But @munkeebag81 has the opportunity to buy one from someone who goes to Tokyo and buys them for other people. So I am sure her source will give her the exact pricing before she commits. Thank you for the information! I have my eye on a few of the regular Magic pendants which I can more easily access!

Sorry for the interruption and confusion!!!
Yes, the RG MoP Ginza edition is a little over 300,000 yen.
My friend's Magic is a different one:flowers:

I bought this pendant at the Ginza boutique last year. Price was 302,000 Yen. I love this size. As others have mentioned, it is in between the regular Magic size and the VA size. Excuse my wrinkled shirt but here is a pic of me wearing it with the chain extended 2 inches:

Yes that is a Very beautiful and unique pendant. Chika, whom was the Ginza boutique mgr mentioned the rose gold symbolizes Sakura. I bought this necklace back in year 2018. Then I bought the Magic Alhambra diamond pave long necklace from Chika in January 2020, Chika has now been promoted to be high Jewelry sales director in GINZA SIX Boutique now.

For some reason I thought the Japanese PS had been mentioned by name (unless I am losing my memory), but if anyone wants this necklace, I can vouch for the PS. I have used this PS for 3 items in the past which could not be directly shipped to the USA and she is very reliable and trustworthy. It is so much more difficult now that we cannot travel, and not necessarily saving us any money since we still find a way to get what we want!

Would you mind sharing Chikas email by PM? I would like to order this necklace before I travel to Tokyo next time.

I've been eyeing the Magic pave necklace with bail chain. Since I'm petite I'm still undecided if it's too bold. Do you love this piece, wear it not just for dressy occasions etc?
