can you post a picture?
Sure.:smile: I had to screen shot Indulge in Luxury’s video so the pic attached here isn’t as crisp as I’d like - but you can get the general feel. I am not sure I would mix the metals for this pairing but stock is low in certain places so it’s likely that’s all she had to work with. In practice for this pairing, I think I’d do white gold with white gold or yellow gold with yellow gold for more uniformity. Anyway, it gives the general vibe and concept. The highlight of the original video, though, is how sparkly the full pave is which sadly is lost in the screen shot - It was what made me circle back to this piece.
I also included another pic from IG user konitseung, which pairs the sweet clover with the onyx pave combo version, but again, I imagine the full pave would serve as an even more sparkling combination. I know you are a yellow (or rose????) fan but the effect will basically be the same.

Here are my 2 thoughts on this: 1) I don’t think I’d JUST pair the sweet clover with the five motif as I think the size difference makes it look a bit out of proportion, BUT, if you paired original clover, sweet clover (and perhaps even the D’or ) with the five motif I think that would be striking and then also it brings a bit of proportional balance back into the look with the full size clover working along side the full size five motif. I think if you choose to work with just the sweet clover then the sweet pave 6 motif would work better but I don’t believe that comes in yg (???).
2) Instagram and pictures are great, but when I’ve tried, my bangles usually fall on top of my chain bracelets! :annoyed: I’m not sure if there is a specific way to avoid this, and while it’s pretty in pictures, it can look totally different in movement. If there is a way (other than all bracelets being quite tight) please let me know!

I’m attaching a few inspo pics here and I know some members here on this forum probably have seen these as we tend to follow the same people, however, they are fun to look at anyway. I have included each users IG name for credit and they are all public pages so I hope they do not mind the credit/repost.

After swearing off white gold VCA for washing out my skin tone, I’m starting to feel like I may be dangerously close to adding the onyx and white gold pave. I love onyx, and this combo would be so carefree. These gorgeous photos are so tempting!!

I hear you! That IG account above made me fall in love with vca wg (I’m a yellow and rg gal typically) but these pairings are so pretty and I think that bracelet is just such a statement. It’s feminine due to the motif designs but not saccharine sweet (if that makes sense) because of the wg and onyx combo. It’s such a beauty!!! I’ve asked to see it numerous times always with no availability. It’s certainly worth a try!

Some of the fun goes out of my purchases because I can only buy through phone/text. There is no VCA location within several states of where I am. The closest one would actually be Vancouver, Canada, but we cannot go there right now. The onyx pave just seems so nice for daily wear! So pretty, yet not delicate :heart:

Oh yes, I can see that being a bit less exciting as its fun to try different combinations in advance of actually pulling the trigger and not being able to get into store is not helpful. The good thing is this is always offered so even if you dont make it in to store for months you can always know its available for purchase.

Or maybe a few years! I was thinking that I should start postponing some of my purchases until I can travel across the country to my boutique, but who am I kidding?
