I purchased this piece last month and am just now posting. It is my first VCA piece and it is gorgeous. I debated for at least six months as to what my first piece would be. I kept changing my mind ! Then Ii zeroed in on this chalcedony stone and know I wanted the magic necklace and two 5 piece bracelets. BIG shout out to Big Akoya for walking me through this purchase. I was visiting friends in a City that had a VCA in the NM. I went in on a Friday and introduced myself. The SA was more than delightful. They had very little inventory but said she was expecting a magic chalcedony View attachment 5267056necklace the next day. The next day she sent a photo and I was concerned it had too much color variations. Big Akoya was a godsend in walking me through it. At the end of the day we decided I should just go in and take a look. it was love at first sight. Thank you again Big Akoya. Now let’s see if I can keep my word to myself that I will only purchase three pieces. Ninety percent of my wardrobe is black so I think this stone is perfect. When I learned chalcedony was big in the 1920’s, I was sold! I love antiques and Art Deco is my favorite period. Sorry for the novel.

Love your earrings!
Frivole… the most beautiful collection of all, with it’s three dimensional heart shaped petals, perfectly angled as if the flower were in full bloom!

The earrings are gorgeous on you!
