You guys, it’s the cutest! Modeled with my new necklace by my SA’s colleague. The starfish is so adorable! The seashell is gorgous, but it blends in more. I am a Gemini/June birthday so it may be added to the list again at some point (Pearl is June’s birthstone).

The starfish pops more and it seems more versatile while the seashell can be worn in the centre not the side piece.

The carnelian colour looks nice in this starfish piece. Lucky you!

Thank you, there will be a learning curve to styling it, but I think it will be fun to play around with.

The stone is actually Jasper, not Carnelian, so it will also be fun to see this stone in person. It is opaque and not translucent like carnelian, so the color should be more consistent in different lighting conditions.

Oh, that's why the colour is more predictable.

Wish vca would make motifs in Jasper later in the future.

Thank you for the input and for sharing your thought process. You inspired me to take the time to try out the hummingbird clip, and I actually really like it styled with a 20 motif. I was thinking it will be nice with blue agate 20 motif also. The clip is not inspiring me as much on the magic chain, even doubled up (which is better than single). I do love the look of a doubled magic layered with a long magic, but I think the simplicity of the magic pendant is why that works (especially at the longer length setting).

Here are some photos sent today from my sales associate for the seashell clip and the starfish clip. I requested photos next to the carnelian watch I am considering as well as styling photos by his colleague. For sizing perspective and wearability.

I tried on my lapis hummingbird clip with some carnelian pieces as a stand in for the starfish clip, as my thought is to wear the starfish attached to a 10 or 20 motif with carnelian (lapis clip is a stand in here).

The seashell is quite beautiful, and it’s actually much more versatile looking in the modeling photos than I expected. Starfish is most like the magic pendant vs whimsical clip, which may mean that I reach for it more. The seashell is objectively much more beautiful I think? Starfish as a theme do have much more of an emotional significance for me, as where I live, I grew up on vacation at the seashore with starfish and anemone, and we do not have seashells or sailboats here. More of a wild, forest seashore vs sunny beach seashore. Imagine Switzerland vs Greece (or for fellow-USA dwellers, PNW coast vs NE coast).

I welcome any feedback from anyone here, if anyone has input. I will not burden you too much @chiaoapple as you have been so generous with your time already ❤️

Here are some photos of malachite + RC to give some starting ideas. I am looking forward to see what beautiful combination you come up with!

I really like the hummingbird with the 20! It looks great with your vibrant jacket, just so casual chic.
The RC with malachite looks so cool and a bit edgy 👍

Thank you @chiaoapple :hbeat: there was a time I only wore pops of colors and now I am making up for lost time by mostly wearing neutrals:biggrin: On the Frivoles, VCA absolutely aced it not only with the 3D design but also the way the pave Frivole pieces sparkle!
