Thank you! I love my scarves too so had to figure out a way to wear both.

These pics are just gorgeous! They look like they are right out of a VCA catalogue!!!!


Is the pendant the exact same size as the regular Vintage Alhambra single-motif pendant? It looks like it might be slightly bigger. Then again, my eyes could be playing tricks on me because they are so dazzled! :loveeyes: I need this pendant in my life. I guess I need to plan a trip to Paris! Lol.

You are too kind with your compliment. The pendant is actually larger than the dint age size but not as large as the long magic pendants.

Love how you wore this! I always feel I have to decide between a pendant or a scarf; wearing the scarf this way, both can be worn. Beautiful pendant. The Porcelain from Paris is beautiful and special.

Thank you for sharing MYH! Really appreciate it.

Does it look very dark like this in real? It looks like black instead of blue

It really depends on if you are indoors or outdoors and if the sun is shining. The photos were taken indoors. Let me find a photo taken with the sun shining on it so you can see the difference.

Hi everyone. Thank you for your photos of the blue porcelain pieces. I decided to take the plunge last week on the pendant while in Paris. Here is a mod pic I took with a Hermes coup de fouet scarf and alone with a v-neck sweater. Also a fun pic with some Hermes accessories and SLG. The calvi is blue electric.

BEAUTIFUL!!!
May I ask what color is your H bracelet? Would you say the blue porcelain is closer to H's blue electric or blue sapphire?
TIA

I'm sorry but I can't remember! I think there is only one blue clic clac color with a white H clasp. It is that one. Maybe blue indigo? In the light, it's closer to blue electric. In the dark, blue sapphire. HTH

MYH, I'm laughing at how unobservant I am... I even never noticed the difference in the shape itself until you pointed it out! The lapis is an older necklace - I think it is from 1993 -- and the porcelain I bought last year. VCA does make little tweaks to the Alhambra design every so often: I know that the very first piece I bought, a 10-motif YG alhambra, is a bit different in both size and shape from the 10 motifs that are made today. How funny. I wonder what drives these changes? Anyway, thank you for teaching me something about my own jewelry, LOL!

Absolutely gorgeous and I love how you styled it! I am always trying to find ways to wear a necklace with a scarf, it's easier for me with the GM sizes but will have to try this.

LOL! Yes, I have seen tweaks to the shape in older necklaces and newer ones. I believe there was even a tweak in between your lapis and now porcelain. But how wonderful you have been collecting for such a long time. I think my first VCA piece is from 2006. And the clovers from that year look the same as now.

BBC - I have a lot of other ideas! Maybe we should start a thread of Show us how you wear your VCA necklace with a scarf?

Does anyone who owns the blue porcelain pieces happen to know what is the best way to clean the porcelain? Can we use dish soap and water? Or only the VCA cloth? I have found that the blue porcelain shows fingerprints quite easily and want to know the best way to clean it. I forgot to ask when I purchased mine.

I have a 20 motif from the first blue porcelain release and have been amazed how much it does show fingerprints.
