OMG, diamond Frivole! Gorgeous and a complete set. I love it!!!
What a treat to see such gorgeous collections! Thank you, sjunky, for starting this thread!

YW. I really hope you add your pieces! :smile:
Thanks for starting this Sjunky!!!:ty:
YW. This is wayyy better than the VCA website and a boutique!

It is so lovely to see all the beautiful collections :faint:, its only when you see everything posted do you realise what a collection you all have.

I only have 2 pieces and I will post a pic when I have added to it!:lol:

I do have a couple more that I don't have a picture of.....I'll take a pic tomorrow and post then.
AMazing earring Collection. Earrings and bracelets are my faves! Rings too!
Wow, ladies, thank you for all of the droolworthy photos.

Here are my 3 pieces.

They are WG 20 Motif Turquoise Vintage and the matching ring.

Single motif MOP WG.
I know you love your WG. Your 20 piece turq is TDF!

OMG these collections are so beautiful girls!! I love seeing how different people collect different items from one big collection - so interesting! They are all beautiful, both big families and small!!

I think we should start a Cartier and Tiffany's family album too... although there is a Tiffany's thread already I think! I can actually say I have a Cartier family now! :biggrin:



HAHA! I saw the WG/TURQ bracelet on some teenager on the beach outside the Ritz Carlton in Naples and had to look it up (which is how I found THIS site!) to find out who made it... there was a boutique in Naples as it happened and I had TOTAL sticker shock at the $1500 too! I almost laughed it off until I caught the addiction ... my very first piece of fine jewellery I ever bought myself was the YG/MOP bracelet!



I have the same one in cream! But am seriously thinking of buying a pink Smythson one just because!! :smile: Once everything is insured and I feel like I can leave it out a bit more I'd love to have one great jewelry box with all my goodies in it! :smile:



OH MY!!! Okay really trying not to play favourites here but your collection is so GIRLIE AND SPARKLY!!! LOVE LOVE THE DIAMOND NECKLACE!!!!!



WOW Sbelle you are the VCA earring QUEEN! What a collection!!!

Okay here is my little "family"!

Lotus Earrings :love::love: (my fav family member I think!)

20 motif WG/MOP

5 motif YG/MOP

And my sweets!

I've bought and returned or sold a lot of items along the way!!! LOL... I've had very forgiving Sales Associates, what can I say! Looking back at my pics I can't believe I've exchanged a 10 motif, a 20 motif, a socrates, 2 magic pendants, one vintage pedant and a pair of sweet earrings! :amazed: Indecisive much? LOL! :P In the end I think I ended up with the right collection for me, though I still lust after a few pieces for sure!!

Nice collection Jenn. Those earrings steal the show! Nice to see wg and YG pices!
I can not wrap my brain around a bracelet costing 1500. I used to live in NYC and look in the VCA boutique windows and I always thought everything was so expensive. If onlly I just walked in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All of you ladies have such beautiful collections. Here's my small but much loved collection: 1 vintage Alhambra 5-motif turquoise bracelet in WG and 1 vintage Alhambra 5-motif rose gold bracelet. Next addition will be something in carnelian.

Fab!~ I really love the Rose Gold!

Great thread! Everyone has such beautiful collections! I will try to post some pics in the next few days of my small family :smile:
Please please do!!!
I am so in love with this thread! I will try to contribute tonight when I get home!
Yay. Love it!
 
Here is my small family:

WG MOP Vintage Alhambra Bracelet
WG MOP and Grey MOP Magic BTF Ring
WG MOP Magic Pendant
WG Pave Magic Pendant

I also tried a modeling shot with the BTF ring, bracelet, and one of my estate diamond tennis bracelets.

My dream is to add the Pave Magic ring, a Pave Vintage Alhambra Bracelet, the Perlee Pave Clover Bracelet in WG, and maybe the small Cosmos pendant.

Great collection. I really want a BTF ring and that Pave Magic is gorgeous! I read that you wear it fairly often, that is good.
I have that on my Lottery list.:lol:

Thanks! I wear the Magic pave almost every day even though my wardrobe is fairly casual. I believe in wearing my pieces and if I waited for an occasion they would never make it out of the safe. VCA would definitely be my first stop if I won the lottery!

OMG you have a beautiful collection! I'm with you on the pave 5 motif bracelet - I would LOVE to add that to my collection one day! I've been out on Bloor Street quite a bit these last few weeks and every time I pass Birks I see your magic pave pendant and it stops me in my tracks!! SO beautiful!!!

I had the same reaction to the Magic pave pendant. I tried it on in December and again on Sunday night at VCA.

I really, really want it............but the price is just killing me...............

(but I think I would wear it every single day.......so the cost per wear is pennies, right?)
 
WOW! This thread is amazing! I love everything about it! :drool:

I hope to be able to contribute one day. The two items high on my VCA wishlist are also high in price! Might be a few years... :P

What items are on your wishlist?

G&SMommy, stunning collection!

You are the queen of earrings sbelle! Just fab!!

MP4, I also have a 2 item collection right now, when I add to it, I will post. In my mind any item of VCA is a beautiful piece to own and use:smile:
