TY!! We should make a list of things we sold and regret. Unicorn pieces to help each other. I am ashamed to admit what I have sold and could kick myself over!
I am going to keep my YG, my Frivole pieces are yg and I LOVE them. Going forward I will buy both I guess? They just make most styles in yg! :)

I know, that would be great if we could do that!

Smart to keep the YG. I feel like VCA YG v. PG is pretty subtle, especially if it’s got diamonds, so you can mix and match, especially if it’s a ring and earrings or ring and pendant/necklace.

Don’t regret selling things. Honestly, you may regret it, but you probably wouldn’t have worn them, and that probably made you more open to buying the pieces you own now and love to wear.

Yes! I feel I can wear both. I wear an arm for hard bangle bracelets and the other for softer Alhambra etc. I did sell Plain YG Cartier Love items, then replaced with diamond RG options!
So many things look amazing with YG . I can't imagine Frivole mirror finish in RG.
At this point, it pisses me off that VCA charges 30% mark up for Made to Order items. There is literally no difference in quality of materials. RG vs YG for Alhambra.
So I am trying not to buy them yet and see if the stones I want will come in RG. I am very stubborn with that, but I should just bite the bullet and pull the trigger .

I agree, I find the 30% markup for just gold change unfair, especially with YG/PG that are priced the same.

@missie1 I just saw your fabulous TQ earrings!! Yay, so happy for you!
Can you post a pic with your bracelet as well. I think out of all 3 metals, WG is for you 1000%. Crisp and elegant!

Omg thank you ….I love wg it’s so crisp. Here are all the pics that I took. The earrings look darker however they still work well with bracelet I think.

I love RG way more than yg so to me it was worth paying the 30%. I heard recently that UK stores dont charge the 30% but have to confirm that. which stones are you considering? When wearing hard bangles on one arm do you wear a watch also?

So beautiful on you @kadmia … onyx in RG is another level altogether!

Thank you so much! I'm finding that VCA pink gold suits my skin tone better than my YG pieces too!

I had these! They are so beautiful and I regret selling them. I have long dark hair and felt they got lost on me. But you wear your hair back and they look amazing and stunning on you! enjoy!

Aw, I hope you find another pair soon! I have long dark hair too, but I wear it up 99% of the time lol, so these work!

Oh no! I’m sorry about that. I have seen some come up once in a long while on the secondary market. If I see one, I’ll send you a message.

As for selling your YG, be patient. I used to not wear anything but YG and just recently went back to some WG, which I thought I wouldn’t wear again.

I have been more pro YG than WG for years.. but of late, i suddenly prefer WG more than YG.. shocker! I still wear my YG pieces because my engagement ring is in YG, but WG trumps YG for now. I am abit itching to try RG but i think i shouldnt go down that scary road yet

RG and I are not friends, but I have been wearing WG bracelets and even rings recently, so that’s exciting for me because I had also been wearing YG for years and ignoring my WG pieces.
