More playful jewelry is on trend right now. colors color colors. I think someone that has a very cool fun spirit would rock these. The coral is beautiful. They would make cool pendants.
I completely agree! Playful jewelry is so on-trend, and the burst of color really adds to the fun. The coral and turquoise combination is indeed stunning, perfect for adding a pop of personality to any outfit!

I love the playful vibe of the rings. I feel it will really jazz up a neutral coloured outfit. In my mind, it would be something that perhaps Trinny (of Closet Confessions) would wear :lol: !

Very reasonable:

Malachite Onyx USD $7400
Blue Agate MOP USD $6950
Turquoise Coral USD $9600
It looks like there was a little price bump from the pre-release prices. They did have an asterisk next to the prices, saying it was subject to adjustment. Not a big difference, but just to have the correct information on this thread.
ETA: since two were adjusted up by $200 and the other was adjusted by $300, I was curious and calculated; they were increased in price by 3% and rounded to the nearest $50 increment.

I went on to try yesterday.
All three rings were available but small sizes. I did not bother to take pictures of malachite because IMHO it is hideous. The other rings I honestly don't know what to think of. I would say I did not except these from VCA. I would rather use my coral and turquoise for something else - this was my feeling. It felt like they tried to put rare materials into one item to increase the value and play the "rarity" card with the TQ\coral ring but at the end it does not look good to me because of the colour combination. I think even with MOP TQ would look nicer.
Agate MOP ring looks better than TQ coral, IMHO as well. But the price tag is not justified anyway. I had very mixed feelings looking at those.

Agree that these pieces might work better as pendants. The unexpected colour combos could be interesting with various colour / pattern outfits rather than starkly sitting against the skin.
 
Are the petals the leftover cutoffs from making the magic sized alhambras? I feel like someone at VCA wanted to reduce waste and came up with this design to use up the scraps.
No joke. Legit reasoning.
And with all those little petals, they could make a couple of motifs. Come on…
 
I think they would be much more beautiful and harmonious if the center color on each was swapped with the petal color. Just imagine it, much nicer (pop of blue agate petals with a center single MOP), malachite single stone center (since the petals are angled with striations in all kinds of directions and not oriented well visually) and onyx petals (a neutral with a single color accent), the coral/turquoise is fine, but that would also be prettier and less loud with turquoise as the petals and coral as the center. If I was VCA and designing from scratch, I would do options more like: chalcedony petals with blue agate center in YG: beautiful stones, flowing and harmonious colors, softer colored stones for the bulk of the ring, since it is large, and a stone that people want in a different metal than it is usually offered in.
Agree! Love the idea of more harmonious colors. I also love blue/green combos so really would have appreciated seeing the two paired color wise. Ah, if only we could design them :)
