well i should hopefully be getting my 10 motif wg mop in april, the yellow gold just did not look as good on me, my question is they said that i could get an extender place on the back by the company for free, but i guess i wouldn't want to do this if i would ever consider getting a second one and linking them together, thoughts?

Well....if it were me, I'd get the free extender just in case with some shirts/ dresses it looked better slightly longer. Then if you do get another 10 motif later, you can just keep it for versatility.

When I got my 1st 10 motif, I had it extended at the ends. But when I got the second one, my SA put the request to have them extended between the motifs so that the two necklaces match evenly when I link them together.

If you get it extended at the ends, you could have your personal jeweler easily make a removable extension for you with the extra chain and with the laser repairs they do nowadays you will not even see a solder point. Plus once you have a removable extension you can use it for multiple necklaces. I have one from VCA which is tiny 1.5") and I think I paid $375 for it. So if you can get 2" free with each necklace you will get quite a nice extension and it will not mess up the integrity of the spacing between the necklaces. Although between 16" and 18" it is very subtle, you REALLY have to LOOK for it.

Thanks Ladies. My Sa is going to ask for an extender again, if not I may just get the magic 3 motif earrings .
TGG, I would love to have a 20 Motif, but that is not possible right now, so I either do the 10 and extender or go for the earrings. I know I can add my bracelet to make it longer, but it would be nice to wear the 2 seperate pieces. LOL. I just linked 3 bracelets together and if looked nice, lenth wise I mean. It is hard to have a budget and get something with this jewelry . If I wanted to really have the look I want. I would need 100K! Ha. O well.

I guess because a lot of people take the layaway option.

Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking. I think AFF charges retail (or close to retail) for many of their items because they offer layaway. I'm guessing some people don't mind paying more for something second hand if they can make payments on it.

i'm so excited - i finally ordered my cosmos pendant, and it's coming tomorrow! 24 hours is going to be LONG! i've literally wanted this pendant for 5 years but always got sidetracked with other purchases.

i got the small since i want to wear it casually/daytime/everyday piece but whenever i see the medium i am floored! i went back and forth "small versus medium" for years. they are so different. the small is pretty while the medium is awesome.

i am so excited and will definitely post pics when i receive it! and i promised DH no more purchases for at least 6 months!

i'm also hoping i'm done with VCA for a long time since i need to focus on and save for my e-ring upgrade!
