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 applaud you for getting what you love irregardless of trends because if you love it, you will always love it and if it is just a trend for you than it will have been money wasted. Also, when you get your bracelet sized make sure to get and keep the extra links because you will be 1/4 of the way to your 20 motif and will need those links later on and you can believe that VCA or your local jeweler will charge you for them. JMHO.

I will be picking up my first Sweet bracelet soon and I need a little help, which one to get?
I am not a huge fan of yellow gold, all my jewelry is WG and some RG.

That sounds right.
For some reason I remember feeling suprised that the cosmos was so much more expensive than the Frivole...
I am on a ban right now, but I wish that somebody would buy something new and post it...LOL.
I would especially love to see the flower lace earrings.....:smile1:

Interesting - almost exactly (actually I think exactly!) what my Cartier Orchid pendant is... I thought someone here had said that the VCA was much bigger/more expensive. Maybe they were referring to the cosmos?

Anyway it's gorgeous!!!

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

In the last promotion, it was a gift card with purchase, i.e. $1,500 gift card for $10K purchase. That promo had specific exclusions for Van Cleef and Chanel.

This time its points only and I just memo'ed a 20 motif pink gold necklace. It's really pretty.

Now I am swimming to Ban Island.
