Hi everyone! I'm new to this thread but have a few VCA pieces.
- 10 motif black onyx vintage alhambra necklace
- MOP magic yellow gold ring
- Byzantine yellow gold necklace

And I used to have the byzantine yellow gold earclips but I lost them this summer in Italy. So sad. And the worst part is the stores don't have them anymore. I've called around all over the US and EU. If anyone sees them for sale by a reputable seller on an auction site, could you please let me know? I would very much like to replace them.

I was also thinking about what my next piece should be. I love the magic opera length necklace with MOP, Black Onyx, and Grey clover (don't know what it is) but it is sooooo expensive. Any other suggestions?

I've loved looking at everyone's gorgeous pieces. It definitely scratches an itch when you need a VCA fix!

Today at the San Francisco VCA, I saw a pair of supersized Vintage Alhambra yellow gold earrings with diamonds in the window display, but it's 22500 pre-tax. They are gorgy. I hope a lucky lady gets it. Next to it there was also a BTW butterfly ring in a new design; One rose gold butterfly and a white gold one with some diamonds.

I own the necklace, and although I don't wear it with a pendant, I have often seen it in catalogs and in VCA boutiques with the Bird of Paradise and other heavier pendants. I do know that my SA tried to sell me a pendant for it! I have often wondered why more people haven't discovered this necklace. I think it is very special.

I was obsessed with those earrings all year! I really wanted them, but wondered did I want to spend $22,500 on them. I ended up getting the regular size instead of the super size, and couldn't be happier.

Don't get me wrong, I think I would have loved having the super size, but the regular size has a great look also. In fact, they were the only earrings that I took on my Fall trip to Paris and got many compliments on them from SA's in different stores (not VCA).

Does anyone actually own the Miroir des Eaux chain (small diamonds on white gold chain)? I am considering getting it and wanted to know if it was sturdy enough to hold a substantial pendant.

Uh oh. Didn't even know this existed. Every time I think I'm done, I get sucked back in. :laugh: I might just have to sneak a peek at this one next week.

You should definitely get it. I love it!! I didn't think I would love this one as much as I tried on the 20 piece with all letterwood but my fiancé was smart enough to get me this one :). I'll try to take some pictures later to share. I don't find the letterwood to be too light compared to my turquoise 20 motif. Then again I wear my 20 motif pieces pretty often! Does anyone else do that? I wear them like every day pieces. Is that terrible?

often lurker, sometimes poster here. looking into possible letter wood purchase. bummed that the pendant has sold out! looks like all that's left of the LE is the 20 motif.... would you gals say the LE alternating motif is "better" than the all wood? due to how it looks or the special wood in the LE?

thanks gals!

I think the alternating LE looks better than just all wood.

Alternating motifs, the RG mixes very well with the wood.

thanks ladies! leaning towards the alternating wood, I do like the history behind the LE wood...the 10 motif necklaces posted here look great! for the ladies who have it, did your SA give/sell to you pink gold extenders if requested at time of purchase?

are there pics of people wearing the 20 motif here as well?
