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. :shocked:

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... :biggrin:
- 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!

My understanding is that all the animals as part of the lunar calendar were produced. Not many were in white gold but the market would mostly be yg with red stones as much as possible. Vca does make a lot of pins so maybe you will see one you love in future. You could try to SO one - see if they let you pick material and metal.
I thought about getting the current rabbit pin but don’t like the new wood ones. We have 2 family rabbits - my fur babies.

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!

I heard recently from my SA that there may be no mark up on diamond pave pieces that are already made. Wasn’t sure if that includes all pieces with pave and stones but sounds like it might from your friend’s experience. I am in process of placing an order.

Thanks for that info. I love rabbits too (hint hint... would love to see your fur babies!)

Speaking of pins, I think I need to purchase a plain VCA chain. I sometimes want to hang my panda just as a pendant on a plain chain. I have other chains I could use, but it's not a matchy matchy VCA chain. :biggrin: :biggrin:
You just reminded me to ask my SA about VCA chain options. I hope the links are similar to the Alhambra links. I've never even thought to order a chain from VCA until now. I hope they sell one that is 32" or 34". Worse case, I could buy a Magic chain, but I think they are about 36".

I believe they sell a number of chains but not sure about wg. I am sure your SA can accommodate.
Here are my fur babies :heart: they are glued together about 75% of the time and very tolerant with my kids.

They are super cute! :nuts: :heart:
I love how they are so close to each other. I didn't think rabbits could be so close like that!
It's also cute how in both your photos the rabbits are always on the same side of each other.
Let's see, their names... I'm thinking Oreo and Butterscotch. :biggrin:
They are so adorable! Thanks for sharing!

Hahahaha your guess of names are spot on!! We got the black one first and I narrowed down the names for my kids and the choices I gave them were Oreo and Onyx. They went with Onyx cause their prior school had an award system based on stones and Onyx was the highest that only a handful of kids got (mom brag - they both won it). We got the second one a few weeks later since rabbits are social animals and like to be part of a group. We kept with the name theme and so she is Opal. If VCA ever makes an Opal and Onyx line I am in trouble.

And congrats to you super smart kids for getting oynx level!
I am sure the smartness runs in the genes, on the mother's side, no doubt. :biggrin:

That would be amazing if that’s true for all pave pieces because I placed my SOs for two pave pieces and I am waiting for news from Paris with trepidation! Congrats on placing yours!
