VCA Newbie needs opinion

[wlee917]

Hello all,

I’m a VCA newbie and I got the followings since Oct 2023 (more like implusive buying without planning on how I want my collection to look like) …. I started to like carnelian and wish to get my hands on a 5 motif carnelian and RG guilloche bracelet but unsure the wait time…TIA!

Currently have:
- Vintage Yellow Gold Guilloche necklace
- RG & Carnelian Alhambra Reversible ring
- Sweet Butterfly MOP necklace, earrings, and bracelet
- Planning to get the 5 motifs RG and Carnelian Alhambra bracelet in 2024

Question - should I get the Sweet Alhambra or Heart Carnelian necklace? Or No, they both look too small on me?

Congratulations on your new pieces. I would caution against getting any more sweet pieces-necklaces or bracelets as you have one complete set already. I would recommend getting vintage pendant once you get your 5 motif bracelet.

It looks like even though you might not have clear ideas how you want your collection to look like, you do like guilloche elements in your pieces.

Since you already got the sweet butterflies in a set, you might want some varieties in your collection. Do you still want more sweets? Do you always want some layering pieces?

My personal opinion is that for me to pay that amount, it's better be a substantial piece. That's why I don't have any sweets from vca. For Frivole, it's another story because its polish surface shines like sunshine even for mini, it's enough to make an impact but for pendant and ring, it's better to have one big flower than clusters of flowers.

Yes. Agree with this.
