Girls.... what have I done....
We were having dinner near selfridges and walked into VCA....
Long story short I tried on the Pave 3 motif... I think my heart skipped a beat :smile:
I think I know the next goal now. Onyx, carnelian and all the rest can wait...
So once lotus is done, watch me pick up a night job and possibly start selling my husbands liver for those bad boys..it just looked perfect with my pendant

Love these earrings!
 
But! I tried the necklace in MoP like so Brooke has and I didn’t like it on me :sad:(( (thank god!!!)
Yes those earrings are just stunning
White MOP in YG doesn’t look nice on me either :sad:
The one in MOP has a COMPLETELY different look to the pave. I feel because of the various colors, it just looks a lot more busy. Try on the pave one. Took me a few months to work like CRAZY to achieve my goal.. haha

This is EXACTLY how it should be. You should fall in love straightaway! Yes, forget about everything else now.. Go for those.

(I didn't realise you hadn't tried them on).

Reckon!? Ok I’ll try it on maybe that’s what it was - I was in and out while hubby getting the car - so didn’t have much time to think as to Why I didn’t like it on me...

Yes, I’m done for 2021/22 wish list.
2020/2021 I’ll finish off with lotus and next year it is those. Phoenix, I thought of you when you mentioned you get headaches from big earrings - girl, these are Not heavy, I was surprised myself, while featuring 156 diamonds, they felt feather light!( I don’t like heavy either but not for the headaches, I just don’t like the earlobes hanging when wearing those - my mom has really stretched hers over years).
These 3 motif ones are just perfect. I don’t need to worry about colours and combinations - and it suits Perfectly my pendant.
And it all makes sense - lotus to complete the ring, 3m to complete my pendant!
I feel I’ll end up spending more on collecting sets of stones as it’s just too much choice... these earrings are also Sooooo me! Like Me Me!!!!
and the fact that my mom went : heyyyy those are to die for just says it all to me!
 
Where's my money tree??! :lol:

But seriously, with my current lifestyle (not least impeded by Covid), I have more jewellery than occasions to wear them to.
Same, so! I have thought about it and I will leave some Must items and the rest are going to the auction house.
I want to leave a collection or maybe 10 but something I rotate. It’s plain stupid that I get to wear my items once a year each.... they should see the light more often!
Also passing on VCA to my daughter - isn’t that just a dream come true to ANY woman?
 
Me, too! Though sadly I got started late! I don't believe it's possible to age out of VCA!
I think I’m starting kinda late too! I see by my age some ladies are already literally Professionals in ALL items VCA....
I get lost with those - I feel I need a proper manual to weigh my options.
I swear, pave is the easiest choice for me, mind you more expensive :(

Hmm...I have to try on the 3-motif pave earrings again. I am sooo concerned about the weight and the swaying movements. I am prone to dizziness, so don't want that to be a contributory factor.

Try it! I know what you mean re heaviness of earrings trust me, I have changed the backs of my emerald earrings as the back clasp was too heavy for me. These were Not heavy and on the contrary, quite light!
mod pics when you do!

Ok I am soooo emotional right now! Last time I went to see my ladies at VCA we had a chat and I happened to tell them that I do charity work in Nigeria in Boko Haram camps with my husband... and I mentioned that I love learning new cultures and I myself have a dispersed background (Central Asia, Finland, Russia, European Jew etc)... so I just received this from VCA:
A book dedicated to tribes across the world and their lives...
I’m speechless :eek:1693DC3F-6679-4627-8743-D3DDF9F4B033.jpeg
