I also only noticed that the bangle I tried in a while ago was not YG but RG..... frankly I can’t really tell the difference between YG and RG very well but I do see the differences in my photos and now wonder whether I look sallow in YG. Any advice?
(VS photo previously taken with RG and VA RG)

I think that the yg looks just fine.
The lighting is different in the photos so it’s not really a fair comparison. The difference is so subtle.
In the long run it will be easier to match other VCA pieces to a yg bracelet because there are more choices offered in yg.
Mine is yg and I have no regrets. I also have fair skin.
Good luck with your decision.

The RG looks really beautiful against your skin. I can see what you mean about the YG making your skin look off. Personally I think YG is too flashy in general and definitely doesn't look as nice on you as the RG. There is something quite classy and elegant about RG. It makes a statement without being flashy. And since you will go for other RG VCA pieces I think you should go with the RG..... I have the RG perlee bangle on my list as well!!!! :drinks:

Sorry the lightings are not consistent. I forgot to take photos when I did have both on. I found a photo of my trying on YG last night but the lighting is yet another type of light which made my skin Gaulish. Lol

I also found another photo with just the RG alone, not stacking with VA.

The SA persistently recommended the YG and mentioned that it might look bright now but with wear the flashiness will go down. As with RG, it will get duller, more so than it does now compared to the YG. My friends recommended YG but from a exonomic’s point of view. Lol ;)

My other consideration is that if I end up with a VA in the future, I might get RG. However, I didn’t realize the difference is more than subtle in natural light.

That’s a good point about being able to match win more YG. I haven’t seen or heard many people having perlee in YG. It’s great to know that you’re enjoying your perlee!

I disagree about VCA yg appearing “flashy” which carries a negative (almost tacky) connotation.
In fact, I find yg more classic.
Here’s a photo of mine for reference.

Beautiful!!
I agree that VCA YG is not at all flashy. I have been wearing VCA VA, Perlee and Frivole earrings (all in YG) to work on a regular basis and they are very elegant and classic.

Those are beautiful!! :heart:
I think your lovely pieces has the perfect coloration and shine. Thank you for sharing.

I can’t tell VCA YG and RG very well myself, especially when they are not side by side.

Meowwu, I think it's the lighting that makes the RG look better in the picture. But, think in the long run, you'll be happier with YG. It looks lovely on you.

The lighting is all over the grid. I did try YG and RG together but didn’t take a photo.

With @texasgirliegirl’s illustrative photo of her lovely pieces and assurances from others, I am minded to keep the YG. :heart:
