Hi everyone:heart:
Sharing my Vintage Alhambra Onyx Yellow Gold Pendant and Bracelet :love:

My first VCA piece was the necklace then later on I ordered the bracelet which came in this lovely big velvet box :heart:

My bracelet was very big.

So I went to the VCA boutique to get my wrist sized.
When I was there, of course, I had to browse and get into trouble :amazed:

My Hubby helped instigate me getting in trouble YAY :P making it worse for me, as I was drooling at the sweet Perlee clover yellow gold bracelet.

Picture below:
I just thought the size of my diamond tennis bracelet, its diamonds being wider than the sweet Perlee made these two bracelets together a perfect match :girlsigh:

Here is my onyx bracelet with links removed modeled in my flower garden :hugs:

Now my Hubby and I are starting to save up for the gorgeous sweet Perlee clover bracelet.
How do you have such patience to wait saving up? This piece is going to take a long while :facepalm:
Wish we luck :blush:

After purchasing the bracelet, I would love some sweet onyx earstuds, but I really want earrings that I can wear 24/7 (like diamond studs), so Hub suggested purchasing the sweet Alhambra pave earstuds.

I think that is a great idea.

I really prefer the white gold but thinking the yellow gold would go better with my other yellow gold jewelry or can I wear white gold on my ear lobes? What's your thoughts?


Thank you all! :hugs:

1. Simple magic 6 motif
2. Clipped the extra large YG frivole pendant to the onyx 10 motif (which is extended by a couple of inches using an extender)

Congratulations! The onyx looks great on you.
It sounds like you and hubby had a great time. You are lucky you have a spouse who has the patience to enjoy the experience and now you have something to look forward too. I hear you on the "staying focused" - I find it only works when you REALLY love something. When I KNOW I want something then there is no tempting me with other products and I think many of us are like that. We pick the items we feel are worth the "battle" and its 99% of the time worth it!

As for earrings being wg and the other jewelry being yellow: Im ok with mixing metals especially in this case as your ears are further away from your wrist, neck etc. I say go for the white pave sweets over the yellow sweets (I dont think they come in pave) if that is the size you are considering. Wg and pave serve pretty neutral and much like wedding and engagement rings I don't think the sweet pave (which kind of act like studs) would be any sort of poor effect on your overall look just because they are white.

Good luck on checking off that VCA wishhlist.

@hers4eva So agree with @glamourbag. And I’m biased cause the pave sweet studs are my most worn vca piece. They replaced my diamond studs. Congratulations on your onyx pieces. They look wonderful with your stack and I know you’ll get tons of wear out of them.

Dear @glamourbag ,

Thank you :flowers: for your gracious reply:heart: with great advice! You have the most beautiful jewelry :happydance:

I think you are right, the sweet pave only comes in white gold. So I guess white gold it is :love:

I will be fighting :panic:to stay 100% focused! But I know that months do fly by and when I look down often at my wrist it will all be in the past and she is mine forever:girlsigh: and my Hubby will be ecstatic for me :heart:

WG days with my new chalcedony magic pendant!
1. Layered with the chalcedony 10 & 5 motif. The ruffles on my blouse created a natural “barrier” and kept the necklace in a semi-circle shape which I quite liked the look of :nuts:
2. Magic with a patterned blouse — I only realised after getting to work that blouse had gold metallic threads, which look a bit out of harmony with the WG pendant… probably would have worked better with either the YG onyx or RG GMOP magic pendant.
3. Magic over a simple white T!
