I love this piece and it was the neckalce that first attracted me to VCA.
Sadly, it is so long (and I am so short) that it hit me at a very unattractive spot. This is when I was introduced to the vintage alhambra line and I have been hooked ever since.

The magic piece is very special...truly beautiful, but I find the vintage alhambra a better every day piece.

The price on the pre-loved piece that you have found seems reasonable.

Texasgirliegirl , how tall are you? The same happens to me. it is so long that , as you say, it hits a very unattractive spot :) I know the price is good, very tempting.

Ok, so I took 3 bracelets and put them all together and tried it as a necklace and I love it! I need a 10 incher! :graucho:

So my question is ladies please do you have a sa that would do 12 months at NM for this purchase? Please let me know!

Hi Ladies :) So it's long overdue, but here is my first VCA piece I got on October. It's the Rose Gold Vintage Alhambra pendant.

Yes, it have 16 motif and it is 50" long, by the way, I'm 5 4" and if I use it in a single strand it pass my button belly! Do you use yours a lot, or do you think that the 20 motif vintage is more handy?

Oh yes, height does make a difference :) I am 5'11" so the long magic is perfect on me but the 20 motif vintage looks strange on me (neither long nor short):)
I have to agree with Texasgirl, you may get more casual wear from a 20 motif vintage... Or maybe get the 2 of 10 motif like many of the ladies here do so u can have the option of 10 or 20

Aalinkaa, Do you know if VCA will shorten the Magic ? Yes , buying two 10 will be fun, but I'm very OC , and I thinks that the clasp on the front will bother me. Thanks for your help! By the way, does the Magic comes in a shorter size, maybe 32" or 36"?

You can have the 20 motif lengthened by 4 inches. I am also tall and found that 32" is an odd length.

Thanks for the leads ladies. let me clear up the fact that I own the bracelets and used them together to see if I would like a necklace and I do! :)

I could also just get a bracelet and wear 2 onyx and one mop! It looks cool with the black and white!

I was thinking that they won't do it.... Basically their logic is that if u buy a bracelet but need a larger size bracelet - they will extend it for you to fit. If you buy a necklace and want it a little longer - they will extend it. But if you buy a bracelet but want a pendant, they want you to come back and buy a pendant from them :) it is not in their interest to turn your bracelet into a pendant.

True. :) I will just wear it as a bracelet!!!

I love these but the bottom clovers look too different, don't you think?

I saw that too but I agree-I highly doubt VCA would use such different colored stones. You could call or email yoogiscloset and ask for a different photo because the two lowest motifs look off. These are very pretty and a good price!
