Yes these are the Magic size with a tcw of about 2.13. They are quite sizable in person. They make a definite statement. The vintage size is still blingy but they are more wearable everyday because they are half the size. They also have the gold dot in the middle which I don’t like. Magic pave size in WG doesn’t have that. It’s just all diamond.

A bit of DIY here... I converted an extra link of my sweet watch into a pendant and made a chain for it that has three length options 
, and today decided to throw my magic pendant onto its chain as well

That’s exactly what bothers me about the vintage ones, I really don’t feel that dot, I like that your earrings are full of pave diamonds. Very very pretty
So tomorrow I’m going back to harrods to VCA to reissue my authenticity certificate for the MA pendant (lost in moving process from Dubai to London). Hoping to try out these pieces...
the more I think of it the more i Dont like the idea of MA earrings with the MA pendant, its just too much imo. But I’ll try it together anyway...
These are the pieces i love.(5 motive bracelet in WG not YG)... truth be told I’m also in love with the Bulgari serpenti bracelet... but I know I’m deviating from building a VCA collection

sofya, I am a big fan of VCA pave and wear it with even the most casual of outfits day or night. For me, the MA wg pave pendant and earrings together are too much- I think they are both so beautiful they almost compete! However, they are fantastic pieces to own and I would advise you to add them to your collection. I wear the 5 motif wg pave almost every day, usually with the perlee diamond clover bracelet- another great choice and I strongly recommend. I am a complete VCA loyalist but I had to write as I have been eyeing the Bulgari bracelet for about a year now. It is a fantastic complement to VCA and plan to add it to my collection at some point. That says a lot from a lady who wears nothing but VCA. Do keep us posted on your shopping adventure!
Thank you for this! I’m not loyal to this brand but I do love it’s pieces. Some more than others... and yes I totally agree that I think together the earrings and the pendant somewhat ages the look. It’s something I can imagine my mom putting together! I am drawn to the perlee bracelet and the 5wg bracelet, but that Bulgari is truly a beautiful piece.... let’s see.. I’ll be sure to take some photos!
My only concern about the Bulgari bracelet vs VCA one is the lock. It seems not to have any? I had a Tiffany T WG with diamonds bracelet and lost it at some boozy party a few years ago. That taught me importance of a good lock on these bracelets....
I think the Bulgari bracelet is very pretty, but I'd get the Perlee clover bangle or 5 motif pave vintage Alhambra over it any day (I like clovers more than serpents, lol!). However, there's nothing wrong with getting all of them eventually! (I definitely love VCA above all other branded jewelry, so I am biased!).
As far as pave VCA earrings go, if you don't want the matching earrings to your MA pendant, definitely try on the pave Frivole earrings. They are gorgeous and can be worn with Alhambra.

Ladies, is there One piece I can get that I can match to both - the Alhambra pendant and on a different occasion - to my Lotus ring? Would that be a perlee bracelet perhaps? Can you see it with both items? And if not, then what else?
So serpenti will wait then... let’s finish this VCA business first!!
The Lotus ring is large and such a statement piece that I am not sure I'd wear a bracelet with it at all. If I did, it would probably be a simple diamond tennis bracelet. I think you need the right earrings to wear with the Lotus ring, though (probably Lotus earrings). I adore the Perlee clover bangle with all Alhambra and especially with the Magic pave pendant. I am sorry but I think you'll need two or more additional pieces!
