Not sure if 50+ is all that mature, when my mom still tells me some styles i pick are for old ladies :biggrin: It also depends on your personal style preferences and hair ans skin tone. I’m 53 (relatively new to VCA) and I like bigger pieces of jewelry generally in unmatched combinations. I wear it all casually with jeans. Also after decades of all white gold, DH and my jeweler said that yellow and pink gold are more flattering to my skintone. For the Alhambra collection, i think vintage size is too small (I’m 5,2” and medium build). i like the six motif magic white, grey and black MOP (12K usd) bc I think it elongates the neck. My VCA SA also likes the two motif earring on me (for the same elongation) but he also thinks it’s fun and young (7K usd for carnelian; 15k pave and MOP) . The buton d’or (Yg/wg) is moreish in attitude but also moreish in price (28K) . Hopefully you can try a bunch of things on and experiment. I also liked the Jackie O Etruscan cuff (33K) ; the liane necklace (100-168K); and the lotus ring (33K) but eliminated them for various reasons for now. You should get Whatever makes your heart sing. The middle pic is the buton d’or Earrings. The bracelet in the same combo (no colors) was 48K, I think. (Not sure if I got all the prices Right; it’s only my recollection when I remembered to ask)

@Cavalier Girl, you know, with our ‘aged’ eyes, bigger pics are best to see all the great detail! Love your sense of color and proportion! You look great!

thank you @Suzie! I forgot, did you post in another thread that you were on the hunt for a new pave piece yourself? I love all the pics of your magnificent collections!
Yes, I am saving up for the WG pave and onyx Alhambra earrings.
 
Cripes, those pictures are HUGE! And, I duplicated one. I give up, I'm going back to bed!

Lol I didn't even notice that there was a duplicate! I was too busy drooling over your turquoise!
Yeah, our "older eyes" a p p r e c I a t e the larger photos!!!

I think in general, with VCA: avoid the sweets. Otherwise, I can't really think of anything that won't work for anyone over, say, 30.

Thanks! got the six motif, but my next piece is the Verdura cuff. After that in 2021, the bouton d’or earrings and more suzanne belperron. Cannot wait to see what you come up with during your search! :biggrin: Hugs

NP, I bought my DGD a sweet MOP pendant when she was a preteen and at a little over 21 now, she never wears it. However, like Rockerchic, both DGD and her mother wear the MOP sweet earrings I gave her still.
