Guess what I'm not usually a VCA fan but I like the Zodiac medallions and would consider the smaller one.
If I remember correctly from SM going the rounds, they're a reissue of the original vintage 1950s versions of former VCA medallions. The depictions of the symbols are very classical, and I like they're just gold, no embellishment. Not cheap, but I think they really are simple and beautiful.
Yes, the jewellery world is fill of zodiac charms but these are heritage designs and nicer than others.
