Yes! They adjusted it and now it closes more firmly and securely which makes me sooo much more comfy wearing it! Thanks for asking..

:tup:

I was quoting surfergirljen as she's the one who seemed intrested in YG.. But hey! You might change your mind and fall in love with YG all over again in the future like what happened to me with WG! So watch out! :p

Yeah! YG Perlee collection will be SO GORGEOURS!!! There is the problem... I prefer PG on me because it's subtle. And WG is perfect!:D

It is at VCA getting 2 inches added. As soon as it makes its way to me I will post pictures. I am really surprised how much I like it -- thought I would only like the vintage alhambra. The grey mop is just beautiful!

I have always told myself that my piece de resistance would be the grey mop, but knew that I was safe for a while...I keep guessing that vca will ultimately offer grey as part of the vintage Alhambra line.
I love the clean edges of the modern Alhambra...and the wg is the perfect setting.
Love your collection!

Congrats on everyone's new addition!!! ENVY!:woot:
I also am considering Alhambra pieces, the small diamond studs. Last week I went to VCA store to try them on. They were very beautiful and good size! But, vintage alhambra diamond earclips were amazing, too!!! Much more beautiful & sparkly IRL!!!

These are both very pretty! This will be a hard choice for you. From the pics you posted, I really like both........a lot!! Maybe next time you try them on at vca, take a pic so we can see the size difference on you. I like the posts on the Alambra pair because they are so comfy. I do not own any Vintage with clasps so not sure about them. If I am remembering correctly, don't you have a pg pair? If so, do you find the clasp comfy? That may be the deciding factor if not.

Hi CATEYES!:hugs:
I love both! But, now I am leaning toward vintage alhambra diamond ones. When you wear alhambra mini earstuds, especially diamond ones, the shape of clover does not stand out. Not so distinctive look. Sweet vintage alhambra earstuds are more eye-catching IMO:D

Yes, I have a pg pair. When I wear them, I use posts! Vintage alhambra diamond ones are expensive~! If I buy them, I cannot get 2x10 motif in carnelian................

And...Magic alhambra long necklace is growing on me... what should I do..
Click to expand...

I am not a good person to ask -- I have two! I got the white mop, grey mop and chalcedony a few years ago when it cost around $17,000. ( According to the VCA website it's now $25,100 . :faint: ) I loved the necklace so much that after awhile I wanted to get the carnelian and tiger's eye one. I thought about it a lot but I couldn't bring myself to buy it because the price had gone up over $20,000.

After much obsessing I decided not to get it and bought a 20 motif carnelian vintage alhambra necklace that I could layer with the 20 motif tiger's eye that I already owned. Same effect, right? Sort of but not really. For me there were two issues:
1). I love the different sizes on the Magic and wearing two 20 motifs doesn't capture that and
2). I found out I dislike layering the 20 motifs! I dislike the noise they make when clanking together. It drives me a little batty. AND every time I hear the noise of the necklaces clanking together I think about scratches that may be occurring.

So you know where I am going with this long story....,last year I finally caved in and bought the carnelian and tiger's eye necklace.
