This is stunning!

I saw this on your blog too, looks gorgeous!

Thanks ladies!

CATEYES what I do is link the two together and loop it around my neck - that way I can adjust the length to what I'd like - hope that makes sense

There are many great collections of VCA on tPF. I thought it would never happen but I am happy with my VCA pieces and don't long for more! I am so glad because VCA is just so expensive!

Yes, after having them work on my earrings twice, I am ready for a new pair.
If anybody wants to try this, you can tighten your earrings yourself.
Carefully hold the post with needle nose (jewelers) pliers, then carefully rotate the earring until it no longer screws. They should be tight.
I suspect that the jeweler did not manually tighten/screw the post in before tapping it with the laser. I would try the DIY tightening except that mine have already been lasered and I don't want to risk damaging them.
In the future, I plan to just tighten the posts myself.

Thank you for the tip. I checked vintage MOP earrings, but thank God they are tight right now. I will be checking them every now and then to make sure they are ok.

After getting my last few pieces before the price increase, I have the same feeling too.

Has anyone purchased VCA in St. Maarten? I inquired about a 20 motif necklace and was quoted the same price as in the US. I assumed it would be 10% cheaper. Maybe I am wrong.

Oh I love that look! The solid yellow as well as the rose gold necklaces are like from a bygone medieval era.
