Thanks 628628!:D I really love them!! Very versatile like diamond studs!:p



Thanks sbelle! My next earrings should be WG vintage alhambra dimamond ones!!!:D;)



Thanks Majara! Yes, those are small ones. Have you tried both sizes on? Getting small ones on/off is a bit difficult...:amuse:

I love them on you! They look bigger, you are petite and they frame you nice. I need larger earrings for my bigger face! :D

Haven't been here in a long time. Wearing my 10-motif chalcedony... but that's everyday!

Damn, should have visited this thread months ago. Could have asked my cousin to check out / pick up the LE! :noggin:

Thinking of adding to my collection as I have a big birthday approaching--I have the sweet alhambra earring onyx YG, 2 charms in both onyx YG and mop YG and a 5 motif bracelet in vintage alhambra MOP YG. On my radar is solid YG 5 motif vintage alhambra, single YG pendant vintage alhambra or onyx 5 motif vintage alhambra. I'm trying to figure out what would best complement what I already have. I'm currently thinking I could layer the MOP and onyx if I bought it--could I link them together and wear as a necklace? Or is that weird? I would love a 10 motif, but it's just not in the budget.

I do love the new rose gold/bois d'amourette but it seems sort of random to add to the collection.

Any thoughts or advice from you VCA lovers would be appreciated!!!

My vote is the onyx bracelet. It pairs nicley with the mop bracelet.

Hi ladies!

Thanks to all who have weighed in about my 10 motif acquisition. I've been wearing it around the house trying to get used to the feel. I don't usually wear short necklaces, which is probably part of my lack of current enthusiasm. When I do wear short necklaces they are very small, light, and delicate so I can't feel it. I like rings and bracelets and long necklaces to see and admire my jewelry.

I've tried it on with different tops and dresses and I admit it looks beautiful in the mirror, so that's why I'm stuck.

I also tried linking it with my bracelet... for those who have shortened their bracelets, and wonder what it looks like when linked, I've attached a pic with the bracelet part visible. You can't see it when it's at the back of my neck with my hair down. (I had my bracelet shortened to 6.75 inches). I do much prefer it longer. I'm thinking of maybe having the 10 motif lengthened a couple inches.

I also attached a simple chain necklace to the 10 motif and brought my hair a little forward to simulate a 20.... absolute love! I'd probably wear it at this length more often than not, but I do like the idea of having the option.

So yeah, I've gotten no where in my decision making, but I've still got some time before the return deadline is up, so I'm still contemplating. :p

I am waiting for word on whether my NM can order me the wg/turq sweet earrings, anybody ordered or heard anything on this recently?

Send good vibes my way, I want them for my valentine's day gift ;)

I really like the 10 motif connected with your 5 motif! The length is perfect since your used to wearing longer necklaces. I really, really like this length because you can wear it with most outfits-you have me thinking about changing my wish list now.:cloud9: Maybe think about it a little longer before you return it......

thanks texasbrooke, they said they should know something in the next day or so but that it would probably take 6 weeks or so to get them, have you been happy with the size of the sweet earring, and were you happy with the color of the turq when you got it, I have heard about some pieces being lighter and some darker

Thanks!

both lengths look really good on you! if you get another 10 motif, then, along with your bracelet, you will be able to create multiple looks - 10 motif, 15 motif, 20 motif, 25, motif. I wonder if you can loop the 25 around your neck twice? has anybody tried this? photos?
