Does anyone know what a size 49 and a size 50 converts to in American sizing? I am looking to get a BTF ring and any sizing advice would help as I will have to special order it.

^ Yes, VCA has no say when it comes to InCircle points. They only have a say when it comes to store promotional events.

pond23 is right! I buy most of my VCA from NM so I have a lot of experience! VCA used to be included in the tiered gift card events (as was Chanel) but Chanel pulled out a couple of years ago and VCA followed shortly thereafter . Those were the good old days.

You can still earn InCircle points on VCA/ Chanel when you use your NM credit card. Triple points makes it quite nice!!

beachy great purchases!! You got your btf ring- whoopee! You have
great hands btw!! I wear mine on the same finger but on right hand. I dont
think it looks like a wedding ring. I can also wear mine on my middle finger if I
use a little lotion to slide it on. Maybe try that? I can wear my Socrate ring
on both fingers too.....

Thanks Peppers. I was able to get it on my right finger with a little lotion! I find if you twist it to the side it goes on much better. I have the same thing with my frivole ring. I can wear it on my index and middle finger depending on the weather.

Perfect!! Although with your hands it would look great on any finger! Be prepared, that ring is really a conversation piece (in a good way). You will get all kinds of comments on it ;) Enjoy!!

After much thought (and I appreciate all the advice that came my way, it really helped me to clarify what I really want) I think I've made up my mind. As much as I'd love to have a 20 motif, it's just not in the cards this year and I don't think I'd be happy enough with a 10 motif to justify the cost now and then have to wait for the other half of the necklace.

The thought of the price increases pushing the 20 motif completely out of range for me does make me cringe, but I don't wear necklaces often enough and my day-to-day work outfit doesn't quite sync up with an alhambra 10 or 20 motif. A single motif would probably be best for me, but right now I want to spend money on jewelry I can see without looking in mirror.

So... I love bracelets and I love my sweets and I love the onyx/yg. I'm going to pick up a 5 motif bracelet and see if I can have it sized down for my wrist, and I'm also going to get the 2 sweets because I keep coming back to them. Hopefully I'll be back here to post some modeling picks soon and I think having the 5 motif bracelet will either satisfy my need for yg/onyx or inspire me to save more creatively for the 20 motif.

Thanks ladies!

I think having the 5 motif yg onyx will inspire you to eventually get the 20 motif. I have the 10 and thinking about getting another 10.
