My SA sent me photos a few days ago. I feel like the actual designs, front and back, are beautiful (even Gemini!). i think all the water sign stones are stunning, and the Aquarius (black) one too. My favorite is the Capricorn. I understand the issue with the turquoise, but I like the character/texture. There is a ”cheat sheet” explaining why they chose the particular stone for each (they chose this kind of turquoise purposefully), but it’s a little cut off. A lot of these lean unisex to me.
Yes, I agree. They look very masculine. I also think they're priced extraordinarily high and the smaller ones look too small--like a charm on a long chain . . . Sigh . . .
 
This one was on display at Place Vendome. It was much larger than I was expecting.

Looking at this I kinda appreciate the workmanship that went into this piece: textured rocks and back of the pendant look nice as well as solid rock insert but still my mind cannot cope with the fact that these are really, really cheap stones. VCA can tell whatever stories about "constellation look and feel" but for example this aventurine is sold in such quantities as per grams or per kilograms. And this particular piece of stone is even not the most valuable one. Also looking at it, I am even wondering how prone it will be to shattering (as well as turquoise with all the black stripes)?
I really struggle to understand who came up with this jaw dropping pricing for this.

I agree. This line in particular seems very insignificant and the pricing feels opportunistic and greedy. There's maybe $1,000 in materials in the large pendants . . .
All I can say is that the price to value ratio has substantially plummeted, and I've noticed significant quality control issues. I never thought I'd say this, but VCA is losing me as a customer.
 
I received the smaller gold no stone pendants today and I am thrilled - virgo for me as I am one to a T and scorpio for DH bc we’re a perfect pairing. Not disappointed at all, the best Astrological pieces I’ve seen from anywhere in a long time. The old Cartier ones are up there as well.
I'd love to see a photo . . . Did you also buy the long chain?

I also received mine today with the long chain. (Aquarius) I’ve been looking for zodiac pendants for a while and had first ordered the Roberto Coin pendant which has diamonds. Took me 2 seconds to return it. The pendant felt light and flimsy. The chain was also very light and the gold looked plasticky for some reason. The pricing for the VCA pendant is very reasonable (comparable to RC and David Yurman which is a smaller pendant). I haven’t decided to keep it as I felt the chain landed on an add spot in me. But both chain and pendant are beautifully made. The pendant has a lot of heft. I’ve decided that I prefer an all gold no diamond pendant as it gives off a more luxurious look IMO with the smooth gold work.
