I cant wear to share photos!!
I cant seem to figure out how I can post pics at all! Can anyone help? I tried to insert a photo but it asked for the URL of the pic, which I am not sure what it is 
Sorry am helpless when I comes to these things
Thanks girls!
Yes but you have a pretty neck! I feel I made a terrible choice. My neck is fat and I am very large on top. Well bottom too. LOL I returned a 10 motif because my sa told me it was not for me before. I need lenth to not make me look rounder and fuller. ALso I do not think I can get an extender. I am regretting this purchase that is on the way to me.((
I am so sorry to hear this ...

Sjunky, try to stop worrying. Don't you have the bracelet? If so, just wear it attached to the ten motif. Do you feel that what you really want is a 20 motif?? I feel bad that you are worrying so much over this....the onyx is so beautiful and versatile.
I understand.
I was in your position years ago..deciding that compounded interest is a good thing, I was pretty much a miser for years. Now I will allow myself a purchase every once in a while but my rule is that I can't touch the principle..just interest earned. I bought a lot of VCA this year and felt guilty for a while but the prices increased so much that I feel thankful for what I do have. If I were you...as much as I love VCA...I would buy either a necklace (significantly more impact than a bracelet) or a love bracelet. Just my opinion....
QUOTE=modestine;21396831]Thank you so much for your advice. It makes a lot of sense to me. I just graduated college less than two years ago (without any student debt) and have been able to save a modest sum of money. I can afford it, but there's obviously the opportunity cost of building up my savings, which I think is important. Ultimately- I am just trying to find a balance between the VCA frenzy and what I feel comfortable with.
And the item I am debating is the 5 motif bracelet! It seems like a pretty popular staple piece, but what I am concerned about is the use/comfort/wear of wearing a more dangley bracelet (vs let's say a more Cartier love bracelet) and the overall wow factor of a bracelet vs a necklace.[/QUOTE]

I wear mine nearly every day. I have 2 that I wear stacked and I love them. No problems at all. I do take them off before shower and bed, but they go right back on before I leave the house the next day.
I wear mine with a 5 motif and a dbty. it's delicate looking but not enough to break easy.
Thanks, I will go back and try it on and see how I feel, I have a lost a chain bracelet before, I am quite clumsy maybe!

Thanks this is encouraging to hear!
Are the Sweets intended to be jewelry for children?
I fully understand that a lot of adults wear it, of course....

i think the sweets come in 2 lengths. years ago i went into a boutique to try on a sweet bracelet and the uninformed SA tried to put on the child's length so i thought it was impossible. later, i found out that they come in adult lengths. if i had a daughter, i would get the matching pendant or bracelet, so cute!
i wear mine constantly, do not take it off. compared to the love cuff, it is much more comfy to wear on a daily busy - one reason why I could never wear the love bracelet.
and I promised my 4 year old today that when she gets older she will get one in the child length. LOL - she told me to buy one for her.... her mother's daughter

Thanks, all the replies are really helpful!
