I love the look of chalcedony, onyx, and MOP earrings and necklace on the tray and on the VCA model, just so stunning. So I tried them last year in Vegas, I love it at that time, but didn’t dare to pull the trigger as I always thought white gold doesn’t look on me, so I contemplated overnight, and went back next day to try again, and it was gone.
I wondered what you ladies think what kind of skin tone will chalcedony look good on.

I think if you are very, very fair it can be a very subtle stone and it looks almost icy and if that is what one is after, perfect. Alternatively I think for it to "pop a little" then a light tan+ always works. My mother has deeper skin tone than I do (I inherited my father's skin) and the color always looks lovely on her. I think it really is different for each person because ,within each shade, we have to take into account the warm, neutral or cool undertone of our skin.

Ah yes Chalcedony I find fades away when Im fair but is more significant with my tan. Visually, however, it is one of my favorites. Did you ever try the TE, Carnelian & MOP 6 Motif (or perhaps you have it)? I suppose we all have the pieces we wished would work on us....

Very good observation and well said on considering our skin under tone, specially for the translucent stone. That’s why we have to try and try, unfortunately with the global shortage, we either use our imagination or be patient.

Omg I tried this on today and I fell in love! What types of tops do you wear it with? I love it so much, but I wasn’t sure if I knew how to style it.

My VCA wishlist keeps growing and growing…. I need to have tunnel vision and only look towards the 20 motif and not be distracted, but this 6 motif is just so beautiful!

It is so gorgeous! 20 motifs don't flatter me, but if it looks good on you then you have a tough choice what to buy. Which 20 are you considering?

I wear it with both v & crew neck lines, looks beautiful on so many colors. I wear it with dark grey, black, navy, cream, olive green , white etc. Even tiny dots or thin stripes look nice with it.

Thanks! It sounds like a really versatile piece. Do you think it can be worn in both casual and dressy situations?

I would like MOP 20 motif first then a tiger eye 20 motif… although if I get this 6 motif instead, I would no longer need a 20 in tiger eye.

I love when I try on things I expect to not like and then end up loving it!

On another note, this piece is probably gone by now… whoever they are, one lucky lady!
