Van Cleef in action!

[rosebean]

Thank you so much! With RG I found my perfect balance. Both YG and WG ( I have jewelry pieces in both) appear a little too stark on my skin tone but RG provides that subtle glow which I absolutely love. Again, no right or wrong choices in terms of metals. We just have to choose the one that we love and that suits us the best

Interesting you and @Julie_de mentioned RG and YG. I have the same issue, RG kind of blend in with my skin tone, if I wear earrings or necklace, they don’t look flattering around my face. On my hand or finger, I like both RG and YG. Hence, all my VCA and most of other brand jewelry are YG, only a couple of pieces RG from Tiffany.

with that being said, I would love to hear youand anyone’s opinions here:

I have been eyeing/wanting for the GMOP and Pave alternating bracelet, but they only offer RG and I don’t want to pay30% extra for SO YG. So will you pair this bracelet with other YG pieces and how? (E.g. YG MOP necklace or earring, love bracelet).
Thank you very much!

Looks nice! The hummingbird is so pretty, great choice. Love your blue agate too!
This reminds me... I thought VCA was going to do more animal clips, especially to build out the Chinese horoscope. I have not seen any new animal clips recently, and certainly no new WG clips... just a lonely panda in WG.

Maybe for Chinese New Year, VCA will launch some new animal clips in Asia as part of the festivities.
I googled the Chinese zodiac animals, and I vote for a rabbit in WG! Here would be my dream rabbit...
- WG metal to frame the little guy
- White MOP for his fuzzy body
- Pink rhodonite for his cute pink ears
- Two little pink sapphires for the eyes!

You have a lovely design. I love MOP and pink sapphire very much myself, would love to get a YG if and if VCA does release something like this! Keep our hopes ups

I loved "Crazy Rich Asians"!!! It's nice to have a happy story to escape some of the reality of this present time! But I don't think this movie above is very good according to my sister , but for those of us who like Paris scenery and the potential to see some VCA, I suppose it's worth 90 minutes!

Thank you sharing. Now you mentioned, I think I have to watch this movie again, maybe my 5th time to pay special attend on the blings. BTW,I love the jade ring. Stunning.

If you want the movie again... for VCA pieces that I saw...
At the beginning of the movie, Eleanor is wearing a Liane necklace. @880 this reminded me of you.. check out Eleanor's Liane. I recall it's the Bible study scene.
At the end of the movie, the mahjong scene, Eleanor is wearing the Lotus ring. The Lotus ring she is wearing appears to be the old version of the ring, so my guess is it was probably from Michelle Yeoh's personal collection (like the emerald ring which was hers).

The piece I love the most are Astrid's earrings (Astrid is also my favorite character!).
The earrings are pearl drops with Burmese rubies and emeralds by Mouawad. They are exquisite to me.

Now you make me want to watch the movie again too!

Thank would be too spectacularly adorable @BigAkoya!! I would buy him in a heartbeat now i cant stop thinking about himyes, i noticed they have horse, pig and turtle, on the website, all more expensive than the other pins too, makes me wonder why though.. the materials look the same as the the others, esp, mop, onyx and carnelian, i think the malachite for the turtle might be more so that makes more sense.

I love WG and RG together or WG and YG together but not a fan of RG and YG close to each other. I do wear my malachite magic earrings and pendant on YG with my RG bracelets and rings but I feel they are so far from each other that I can combine RG with YG.
Having said that, here’s some good news for you. Someone I know recently placed a SO for GMOP pave 5 motif in YG and Paris quoted the same price as that of the bracelet in RG, which is currently available. Isn’t that awesome? So, looks like no 30% markup there.

Or, if you decided to get the RG GMOP pave 5 motif, I would wear it solo and not stack it with YG bracelets. That bracelet looks so stunning worn alone!

VCA does a Zodiac collection for Chinese New Year. It's part of the Lucky Animal collection. However, I believe it is special order only.

Thanks... I saw those from last year. I guess they are still the same ones. Where's the WG Rabbit?
I really love the monkey, he's so cute! Did you get any new ones? You have so much YG any of them would match your pieces! I just have the one WG panda clip.

Frivole is my favorite VCA collection. Your Frivole set is beautiful! You look so sparkly and gorgeous!
The earrings fit perfectly on your ear!

Congratulations on your new stunning pieces!

Thank you so much for your good advice and awesome news. Your rules of stacking and mixing RG and YG between bracelet and earrings/necklace make total sense to me. I will check with my SA on the YG GMOP pave bracelet. Wish me good luck!

Thanks for sharing again, I forgot about how Astrid buying the 1 million pear earrings without a blink and then put them above the shelves to hide them.
by the way again, after watching the movie, I have listened to all the series books of crazy Asian, if you are listening audio books, they are very entertaining.
