I promised some photos of my two new *lucky* pieces that I was able to secure last week. The lucky butterfly earrings arrived last week and they are a delight to wear, feel so good on, and are whimsical and beautiful. I just got the onyx magic pendant today and tried it a bunch of different ways. I got it extended a little to layer perfectly with my WG HP as you can see. Please excuse the lint on my tee shirt. I ended up wearing it this afternoon at full length with my new off-white sweater. IMG_3076.jpgtempImageEWpgKp.pngtempImageTDyLAL.pngtempImage3611rx.pngtempImagekYq6Wp.png

congrats :) I'm always a big lover of magic pendents, looks so grand, and quite a statement piece.

I'm talking to my SA trying to place an order for this butterfly 2 motif earrings, but i just can't decide if I shall get the butterfly one or the two WMOP dangling earrings. It's been two weeks and I'm still thinking ... have you ever tried on the all white 2 motif earrings?

I find the chain length of the 2 motif earrings awkward looking. I would want to take out a link if vca would let me. This has been holding me back from buying a pair. Whereas the butterfly lucky chain attaches at the middle of the butterfly so I ‘lifts’ the butterfly up making the top parts of wings closer to top motif. Visually it looks much better to me. Also love the 2 stones and whimsy of the lucky. Lucky is my choice.

Thanks! I have tried on two alhambra motif earrings, but only to get an idea of length when I ordered these. My family has had a thing for VCA butterflies for decades, and these two WG alhambra's are my first VCA pieces that do not have any butterflies involved.

Thanks so much for your opinion! I have tried on the 2 WMOP at the store, but never was able to try on the butterfly one, hence the hesitation, even though from the photos, I've always liked the butterfly more.

And I totally understand what you meant that it is "lifted"! I never thought of that. And I see now that i'll make the earrings not look that long :)

Gotcha! I'm the opposite :) I have a few alhambra pieces and frivoles, but never have anything in butterfly. I love it on you and I think I'll go for the butterfly one too. Are you also considering the matching ring?

I think you will love them so much; the butterflies hang at a jaunty angle that makes them flutter around your face. I have the matching lucky bracelet that adds to these two motifs a larger size carnelian heart and a dangling malachite leaf, and a different butterfly ring, but I believe all my butterflies can mix and match with each other :amuse:

After looking for some months now, I finally received the Guilloche 10 motif and earrings! I have it connected to my MOP 10 motif here, and am trying to decide if the gold fits or clashes with my complexion. Would love your honest opinion. I am in awe of how much it sparkles though!! :heart: TIA!!

It's very beautiful, and you are too, but it doesn't seem to pop like the MOP-in fact it's the MOP I noticed first. Understated elegance is not a bad thing. How would you be wearing it? If by itself, I'd like to see another photo without the MOP.

awww, congrats! such a beautiful necklace combo!

in the picture, the WMOP pops more, i guess that's due to camera cannot capture Guilloche's sparkles?

Hi! I think the MOP glows on you and pops. I love MOP on you.
When I look at your photo, my eye goes right to the MOP. My eye doesn't really notice the guilloche until after about three seconds.

For me, if I try on something and it's not love at first sight, it's probably not good, especially if I have doubt.
My thoughts... if you want another 10 and earring set, I think oynx would be beautiful on you. Guilloche to me is nice on you, but nothing special. It looks more like a gold chain on you, and to me, it fades a bit into the background against you skin. That may be what you want, but it definitely does not pop as much as MOP. The MOP glows, and with MOP earrings next to your face.. wow... it will be so glowy and beautiful. You may already have the MOP earrings, but if not, I would get them. I would pass on the guilloche earrings; they fade into the background to me.

Truth be told, jewelry is part how it looks on you and part how much you love the piece alone. I have this one ring that my husband totally hates, but I love. I love it, and it gives me joy to stare at it. In the end, it's how much you love personally love it.

Just my two cents to give you a different point of view. Good luck on your decision.
