I just call the VCA store at Bal Harbor and they will shorten the necklace, maybe They can add another closure to the spares motifs and I can add it to the necklace if I need it longer to use as a double . What do you ladies think?

I would have it altered to whatever suits you the most . I have had a few pieces altered from my collection .

Does the alterations affect the value of the piece? Another SA from VCA told me that he thinks that the 50" Magic necklace comes with two closures, is that correct? Thanks

My magic does not have 2 closures....
Since you will be getting it pre-owned way under retail price I don't think you need to worry about value being lowered by alterations... Plus, once u get it, you will never want to let it go :)

I am 5'1"
I tried doubling the necklace but did not care for the look...too many clovers.
What I wound up buying is two ten motifs...this way it can be worn long or short for the same price.

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.

Does this allow you a longer necklace than just buying a ten motif?
That or a ten motif and a bracelet?
Is there a price advantage in creating a necklace this way?

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!

I believe that this necklace only has one clasp..a hidden clasp.
Like others have mentioned, I would not worry about resale value and if adding another clasp allows you to enjoy the piece more, it is a great idea.
Just be certain that this is the necklace that you really want.

Well if I get the 10 motif I can attach my bracelet to it and it is 24 inches about and it hits at a nice spot, I can't get 2 tens now. :(

I just wanted to experiment with my 3 bracelets and see if I liked the look more than magic earrings and I think I do!
I took 2 bracelets which are 16 inches and it looked nice, but I have a larger neck, so not that nice. I have no bones showing on my neckline now, I used to have them, now they are covered! Come back bones! HAHA! So I need to maximize length w/o price!

I will have to get an extender, not from vca, because they do not do them anymore, meanies! I can get the necklace lengthened to 19 inches and than have a 3 inch extender and then add a bracelet. I really should not of listened to my sa and got the 10 motif when it was 5200! She said it was too round, but I would of had another ten by now. ughhh

Now you can understand why I always pick earrings and bracelets ! ;)
