Can you please educate me more on VCA bracelets? So malachite gets dull? Is that the same with agate and blue agate and mother of Pearl? Or just malachite?
what bracelets would you recommend them to get for a daily wear, to mix with my Cartier bracelets for example?

You certainly can pair the vintage pave earrings with the Magic necklace if you want it to be a little more casual, but many ladies here have the Magic earrings and love them. I have the vintage pave necklace and earrings and feel that I can wear that combination even casually, and I wouldn't wear the Magic earrings as often. But they are magnificent!

The more durable bracelet stones for daily wear are onyx, agate, carnelian, tiger eye, chalcedony, and the solid rose or yellow gold. Mother of pearl is technically not as hard so can get fine scratches, but it is still a structurally durable stone. MOP should not be submerged in water. Malachite, lapis, and turquoise are softer and can scratch and lose their shine if they get wet. These stones are very desirable for their beauty but just need to have special care taken of them. I am about to get one of the bracelets, but it will be worn very occasionally such as to events or out to dinner only. The onyx pave bracelet is an excellent choice to wear with white gold pave Alhambra pieces as the onyx is less likely to scratch. I have that one on my wish list!
 
Sorry I clicked too soon

I think it depends on what you're looking for.

The vintage Alhambra pave earrings are beautiful. But (there's always a but, lol) if you're looking for something to pair with the Lotus ring which is very loud (in a good way of course :P ), then the vintage earrings would be too subdue in comparison.

ETA: have you tried on the Lotus earrings?

How about the Perlee 3-row pave bracelet? or Perlee Clover?

(I LOVE spending your online $$$$ :biggrin: ).

I literally screen shotted your reply so I can memorise it :):) ok good to know... so blue agate is durable? I want some pop of colour! Waiting for your pictures of the new bracelet!
 
You are dangerous not only to Your account but also to Mine!!!!!! Hahaha! Ok ok next week;) i am going to leave my cards at home...

In all seriousness, it's an excellent idea to leave your credit cards at home. That way, you can try on as many things as you want and then take your time making up your mind afterwards. I normally visit my boutique loads of times and try on several things before I make my final decision.

Yeah, I know I can be impulsive but we are moving into a bigger place and another kiddo - really not the time to have one of those Sofya moments : Go big or go home
 
So I have this one —->>
I am definitely going to try and wear the lotus not just on special occasions but let’s see.... I like them both the same, so it’s really a hard choice?
pave Earrings then?

i have the Magic Diamond pave earrings in WG and they are just the best. You can wear them with pajamas and look like a million bucks.
