Just paid for my bracelet. My SA confirmed that is going to be 3 red motifs and 2 gullioches for the bracelet.

Enjoy! I am still not sure. I don’t think I’d wear any of these. I already have carnelian 10motif and the vintage earrings 
Looks amazing! I have been patiently waiting for VCA to come out with all RG guilloche 5 motif but looking at these pictures I am tempted, I won’t lieEnjoy! I am still not sure. I don’t think I’d wear any of these. I already have carnelian 10motif and the vintage earrings

…Just need to try them in person to see how I feel.
These look amazing but my issue with carnelian is that it’s never as bright of a red as it is in the VCA pics.Enjoy! I am still not sure. I don’t think I’d wear any of these. I already have carnelian 10motif and the vintage earrings

Thank you so much gagabag! I have an interest in this set- the 20 and the earrings. As eternallove said, it depends entirely on the color.
This could be fabulous, I would love to add this to my collection!

There is something off about it….can’t put my finger on it… the carnelian alternating with hammered gold looked really nice but this looks cheap…might be the photos… shall make up my mind after seeing in person.
I agree. Does it look “choppy”? What were the selections in alternating hammered gold and stone? I thought I would be loving this (and sad if I wasn’t offered to purchase) but I don’t know.
I am sure it will look a lot nicer in person. Frankly, I rarely find the VCA stock pics all that intriguing. I think this collection has a lot of potential and I'm trying NOT to pay attention to it so I can stay in my own lane and focus on what I've mapped out
I would like to think they will stick to brighter carnelian (rather than muddy/rust carnelian) much like the Lucky Spring lady bugs were typically brighter. Just my two cents...
I would like to think they will stick to brighter carnelian (rather than muddy/rust carnelian) much like the Lucky Spring lady bugs were typically brighter. Just my two cents...I feel that the RG metal kind of makes the carnelian more orangey or rusty than blood red. I prefer the latter so I truly need to see this in person or see loooots of photos.
For me the shiny guilloche is awkward next to the carnelian but yes their photos are always off I agree on this. The photo leaked on IG showed carnelian with strong brown tones. Also smart phones enhance the red colour which means in rl it was even more brown. Lets hope for the best.
It was carnelian but because the gold was not shiny looked alright.
Don’t know about this. Saw this watch recently. It is not cheap but the carnelian is very orange same with the carnelian bracelets. All lady bugs on the Spring bracelets were either orange or brown -the ones I saw. What we see posted is not the real colour. The camera adjusts the red. All of these are no bueno in rl.I am sure it will look a lot nicer in person. Frankly, I rarely find the VCA stock pics all that intriguing.

I wonder if someone has a carnelian piece and a RG piece and can lay them out in a mock up using the actual real stones.
It may also help if someone has both YG guilloche and carnelian to get an idea of how the alternating guilloche will look with Carnelian.
Here is Carnelian alternating with the only non-pave RG Alhambra I have (better visual than nothing, but vintage size RG or YG guilloche would be much more helpful).

I'm digging the carnelian/ rose gold hammered combo more...especially the vintage and sweet size together....
