I don't know, I like the two necklaces together? DH bought the Love for me last Vday, I've worn it ever since. Here it is alone.

I went through so many hoops to get this pair of Malachite earrings. After nearly one and a half years, they are finally with me. This pair was a part of London Selfridges' limited edition series for its opening back in 2011. I was so excited to hear about it, as I love emerald greens and want everything in emeralds. I had wired the deposit to Selfridges to secure a pair, as I was nowhere near London and had no prospects of going there any time soon. Since the deposit came in 3 payments, the British banking system alerted the authorities, and my deposit was frozen for several weeks! Finally, it went through and the pair was secured for me. It took another 9 months for me to be able to go to London, and I finally picked them up. Sadly, as soon as I arrived in the hotel, I noticed a crack in one of my the motifs. So I went back to Selfridges (Selfridges has exceptional customer service!) and they took it in for repair. They said that once the repair was done, it would be forwarded to my local boutique in San Francisco. I wait for many months, and the earring is still not returned to me. So I call Selfridges and they said the earring was back in London! LOL! :laugh: Paris sent it back to London instead of forwarding to SF. Then there was this whole drama about how Selfridges can't mail it to me in SF because I would have to pay customs duties as high as $1000 USD. So it stayed in London, and now I have finally picked them up! :yahoo: :yahoo: I am a bit dismayed at the fact that VCA is going to release a new Malachite line universally after all, since I went through so much just to get my Malachite pair! But my baby is finally with me after a year and a half of hide and seek

So I went to VCA and tried on everything! I was going to get the Perlee diamond clover pendant in rose gold and it did not look good . Rose just blends into my skin. It was so soft and not much contrast. That was a let down, then I tried on the magic mop in white gold and it looked nice, but I have no white gold pieces and I don't plan on starting a new collection, lol. Then she placed the Magic pave on my neck. OMG, stunning.

I had gone in looking for the letterwood long pendant and really wanted a necklace. Well, the malachite is coming in the same style pendant, magic size in yellow gold and the long chain. I think this will be perfect! I reserved one. Should be coming very very soon. I hope the green will look good with my onyx and mop. I wish they did an onyx in this long pendant, maybe they will?

Ok as for perlee hoops, they were out of medium and the variation. I tried on the small, looked horrible on me.Way too tiny and no presence at all and my holes on my ears were pierced wrong for the small hoops, they stuck out and did not lay nice at all.
I tried on the large and they were too big, looks like the medium will be perfect. She measured the hoops I was wearing and it looks like the medium are the same size, so I am waiting for those too.

My birthday is Wed and I want to start with the Perlee hoops as I will wear them a lot. I wish I could of tried on the medium, I may ask them to ship them to me and see. The rose looked great against my face and not my chest. Very odd.

I also saw the new pink Butterfly diamond pieces, so pretty. can't wait to see yours Beth!
I know want Pave VCA!LOL

Happy birthday and congrats on your new earrings!

I felt the same way about the Magic pave pendant. I tried it on so many times and tried to talk myself out of it but then had to buy it. I now want all pave pieces which is why I will be waiting awhile before my next acquisition. I am enjoying what I have and enjoying window shoipping for now!

I finally got my letterwood Magic pendant! Although this picture isn't crystal clear, I think you'll see why I fell in love! The zebra-look of the wood really got to me. My LE letterwood does not look like this.

Looks stunning on you! The pink butterfly is so beautiful and I love the way it's positioned on the necklace...slightly tilted which makes it look like the butterfly is flying. :loveeyes:
