)Very beautiful on you!
If you already have nice diamond earrings, you might enjoy having this piece.
Otherwise, go for the pave. Vca pave is so sparkly.
Beautiful photo... Have you tried on all the other necklaces? Choose your favorite and sit on it. If you can't live without it and if you have the funds, then go for it!
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 .) 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.
Your VCA collection is really, truely amazing!!! Actually, I was not interested in Magic pieces. I thought I did not really like BIG clover motifs. But, but but, as you say, different sizes in different colours on a long necklace is very nice!!! Sometimes, layering two 20 motifs seems too much (my dh does not like it!!). IF SO, I have to consider purchasing Magic long necklace!!!
But, Magic pieces are expensive.... I am still in the process of collecting basic VCA pieces. Before long necklaces, I think I need to purchase earrings!
First of all, the modeling pic is not ME!!! It's from a magazine. It was misleading. Sorry about that!
I have only two - diamond studs (0.85 each) and diamod hoope pierced earrings. Do you mean small Alhambra earstuds??? Not vintage alhambra diamond earrings??? My concern is if I buy small Alhambra earstuds, I still want vintage alhambra diamond ones...
I have 2x10 motif in onyx and solid PG. I love carnelian one! Actually I was determined my next piece would be 2X10 motif in carnelian! But, I am distracted by Magic long necklace because it's so unique!!
I am not sure if I can get funds for Magic one...
that necklace is perfection on you!!
Very beautiful on you!

Carnelian was my first choice for the longest time until I went with Turquoise. I'd still go for the Carnelian if I had the chance. Personally, I prefer the Carnelian over the Magic, as the Carn.'s colors are so vivid and so romantic.
I'm wanting VCA earrings next too...just so undecided on which ones. I think the minis are too small but need to get advice as to which are good daily earrings. Has anyone heard if the new LE spring line will have earrings? And what is the LE for spring?
I think you should just get the carnelian.
You can't stop thinking about it....
While I love the magic piece, I do feel they look best on tall women. I was all set to buy the mop version until I tried it on. It hit me in a very unattractive spot and I don't care for it doubled....it is a lot of necklace.
It might take a little searching to find the perfect shade of carnelian.
The diamond va ear clips will always be around.

Malachite.
When do the pieces come out? Will earrings be included in the collection?
Can't wait to see this collection. I'll probably want more than earrings I'm afraid...lol!
