TBH, this is exactly the sort of thing my SA would suggest! It’s faaaaabuloous.

Cute, but for me, it looks like you are trying a bit too hard to flash VCA pieces. I prefer it without the Magic added; it makes more a carefree statement like you just tossed on your bling. The effortless big bling look is what I prefer.
Of course, if you like it, keep doing it. It’s all preference.
Thank you. I like it but was a bit like.. maybe too busy
I will play with it a bit more.
Maybe as the top was already quite busy, it was not the best outfit to go with this combo.
Thanks for jumping in. Understand what you mean. Lots of motifs indeed
Will try again and see how it goes.
I think all options are fun but when it all comes down to it, I think the onyx ten and MOP ten look perfect as is. Chic and stunning on you.

For me, it’s not too much motifs as I love the look of the 6-motif. The 6-motif necklace is super gorgeous to me, especially when worn against skin, not over clothes.
For me, I am not a fan of connecting/adding to “create” new pieces. It’s not a true VCA piece, and it just seems one is trying so hard to use all their VCA pieces. It’s also the MOP and then the bright green Magic malachite. For me, that look doesn’t quite work, but again, everyone has their own jewelry look.
I wanted a longer “20 motif” necklace look, so I made a super long necklace by connecting my 20 MOP with my 5 MOP. It looked great actually, and you cannot see the clasp, but it’s a “created” piece which really bugged me the few times I wore it that way. I felt like I was trying too hard. Hence, I stopped.
I love big bold bling. If you like the look also, try wearing both your 10s, layering them as short necklaces, not connected. You will get the nice bold black & white look. It will look great with an open collar or v-neck, not a scoop neck. The two necklaces should lay against skin, not on top of clothes. Maybe try that and see if you like it. Very striking in my opinion for a big look.
Good luck playing!
Thank you for sharing Bigakoya
I personally dont have problem connecting my two 10 motifs. The clasp is visible and it is a created piece, but that is not an issue for me.
I also think that the way vca designed the Alhambra pieces is for mixing and matching.
But I agree that the contrast is big between the mop and malachite.
I dont know what is bugging me in this case, maybe I just need to find the right outfit for this.
Wearing the two 10 is also indeed beautiful. I sometimes wear them that way. Will think about taking a pic next time.
Thank you glamourbag.
I love these pieces and agree they are very chic as they are.
Bonus is I dont find them too dressy and wear them now almost daily.
Do you ever layer the onyx 10 with the Mop ten - as in just put both on together and go? I imagine that would look fabulous with a black and white outfit. Hmmmmm, giving me ideas....
My new bracelet. I like this color and combinations the best~^^
I will take a pic next time. I wesr them like that sometimes and it is beautiful as well
Am I mistaken or don’t you enjoy connecting your panda clip to your mop 20?
Oh yes, forgot about that little guy. I’ve abandoned him lately.
I have not worn him on my 20 for a while. He’s different though as he is an animal clip and it’s not connecting more Clovers. I stopped connecting my 5 MOP to my 20 MOP though.
I see it as the same thing. Connecting a pin to a necklace to create a combo piece. No different than connecting any other pieces.Oh yes, forgot about that little guy. I’ve abandoned him lately.

I believe VCA encourages being creative with their pieces. I only bought my 5 motif bracelet since my SA convinced me to use it to connect to my 10 necklace for a longer necklace option. This is by far my most worn combo. I highly doubt anyone thinks my pieces are fake since I am connecting them.
