This is so cute. There has been recent discussion on the animal clips in the VCA discussion thread.
@TankerToad has a panda, and she wears it on her oynx 20 motif. It's super super cute. If you have a 20, that might b a thought, or a Magic long pendant, you can have the little guy "grab" on to the chain like he's slowly walking down toward your Magic motif.

Here are photos of @TankerToad 's panda-on-a-chain to give you an idea in case you might like to try it. It is the cutest thing to me! There are posts before and after this thread talking about these clips too.

You have a great collection!

VCA ~ Van Cleef Arpels Discussion thread!

Decided to wear a few VCA pieces today... :graucho: I especially love the Magic pendant and the Lotus ring! You could be the hand model for that ring! Beautiful!

Wow! What a brilliant idea. I have a 20 motif WG MOP necklace so maybe I'll buy the panda too. Thanks for sharing BigAkoya! :)

I got some inspired by your photos Lucynancy and made an appt with my SA to see different samples of the GMOP. Although they won't have the Magic 1 motif earrings I want to SO, I think it will be helpful for me to see other examples like the necklace, bracelet, ring and place the motif next to my face to at least get a rough idea of how the earrings might look and if they will be flattering. I am sooo excited! Thanks again for the inspiration. :smile:

As to see the 16 motif... it has three Magic GMOP and you can stick it near your ear. I plan to check this piece out next time I go to see the GMOP colors in each motif for variations.

Call me crazy, but this is also part of my oynx vs. GMOP dilemma. I have a 20 WG MOP also, and I briefly tried on the panda with the MOP. For some reason, it didn't get my attention, so I passed. At the time, I was not really interested in the animal clips and just tried it on as my SA showed me the tray, so that might have factored into my lack of interest for the little panda guy.

Anyway, fast forward to these photos, and wow... the little panda looks so perfect hanging on oynx. :biggrin:
So... if I get the oynx set, I was also going to get the little panda too as part of the set. I am going to try on the panda again with my 20 WG MOP and really pay more attention, as the little guy may look fine with WG MOP. He is the only WG animal clip, so choices are limited.

I can't wait to hear you thoughts when you go to the boutique! I'm so excited for you! I am sure you'll have lots of fun!

omg! are we like the same person when it comes to VCA? lol. ;) I had the EXACT same thoughts. \Initially I thought the animal clips were a bit too cutesy and I'm not really a brooch person, but now I'm into it. Unfortunately for you and me, there aren't that many options for WG lovers unless you SO the pieces. If I can't decide on the GMOP earrings, I might get another 20 motif necklace in chalcedony. I just bought the 5 motif bracelet and LOVE it! :). I also bought the WG MOP 5 motif bracelet but not sure if I love it as much. It doesn't have as much iridescence as I would like and looks a a little flat. Different from the 20 WG MOP necklace I have.

Wow... yes yes yes... "cutesy" was exactly my thoughts at first on the animal clip, hence I blew it off as cutesy is totally not my look. But I love this little panda guy now.

We truly are twins on VCA stuff... I have the WG MOP set (e.g. 20 motif, bracelet, and VA earrings). For the bracelet, I wonder if you think it looks flat because you see it straight on, flat. For your necklace, you see it more at angle. I don't know. But I do know this... we are far more critical of our own pieces, I just enjoy them, and it puts an ear-to-ear smile on my face when I see it on me or when I see someone wearing it. All VCA pieces are beautiful.

Since we have similar pieces... another thought.... I think my WG MOP bracelet looks lonely and a bit wimpy by itself. I am thinking of getting another WG MOP bracelet to wear together. Have you thought about that? It might be something to try at the boutique. I plan to try it at the boutique, and if I like two of the same bracelets together, I may SO two bracelets once I decide on oynx vs. GMOP. It occurred to me because I have been wearing two (or three) of the exact same pearl bracelets at the same time. Then I thought, why not double up VCA bracelets?

By the way, if you love chalcedony and you already have a bracelet, I vote get a set! You can add a 20 motif and earrings! I'm so matchy matchy, probably to a fault. I do think matchy matchy pulls together any outfit... even a simple striped tee, white skinny Bermuda shorts, and Chanel espadrilles... which seems to be my repeating 2021 Summer Look. :biggrin:

Here is the photo that made me think to have two matching bracelet in case you might be interested. I really like it (her bracelets are not exact matches, but you get the idea, just put a finger over the pave motif so see "only oynx").

So much drama, yet so much fun! You are lucky you live near a VCA. I have to fly to a boutique, hence I need to plan out the pieces I want to have ready for me. I can't wait to hear about your shopping experience and your thoughts!

Yes, I’ve seen it. Super cute panda. Almost all of VCA pieces are WG, so my little turtle will have to wait or maybe I can pair it with a Hermes chain as as a charm. Hmm, nice decisions:graucho:

BigAkoya, I have the 20 motif WG MOP too. Same thoughts on getting WG animal charm, so cute panda but the little turtle was calling my name…hehe….and I love that turtles represent good health and long life, so I simply threw caution to the wind:loveeyes:
