Thanks a lot You are so lovely. I try to consider and practically do not see the difference :) But I roughly realized that VCA is more copper. All everything is very beautiful, VCA is just a masterpiece. Of course, yellow gold does not stand out much with malachite. Only thin frame with openework line. Yes, yes, I read that Cartier changes color over time. Isn't the same with VCA?

You are very welcome! Yes, VCA RG will also change color over time but it’s still pinker. My JUC is only a couple of weeks old so maybe that’s why it seems to look similar to my perlee clover in RG. My perlee clover in RG is much older and has been worn almost everyday since I bought it a few years back. So it’s oxidized a little and changed color but still looks pink. I am expecting my JUC bracelet to change color over time and look more yellow from what I have heard from those who have owned theirs for a longer time.

Okay giving it a try but in the pics it’s next to impossible to capture the difference between VCA RG and Cartier RG though Rolex RG is easier to see the difference on. No filters used.

One thing to remember is that the metal will oxidize over time and change color and I have heard Cartier RG over time with use looks more like YG. Cartier owners please correct me if I have this wrong.

I find that the RG in Cartier is a bit pinker than the RG in VCA. Moreover, I've found that the RG in VCA reads yellow unless it's placed directly next to a yellow gold piece and only then can you see a difference.

However, you really need to try the RG and YG pieces before making a decision. You may prefer one over the other, but until you try it against your skin tone, you can't make an informed choice. I say this from personal experience. I bought a pair of VCA rose gold earrings. They vanished on my ear. I did not factor in skin tone when I bought them. So try it first to see, not only if you like it, but if it's complimentary.

Perhaps, if it oxidizes over time and changes its color, then this is a plus for me when I cannot decide. There will be something similar like the color Clash pink-yellow :giggle:

Yes, you are right. I really need to see in reality how it will combine with my skin. Did you end up changing your earrings?
