Very beautiful, Sbelle.
I love the character of your letterwood piece.

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.

wow!! congrats!! we are twins!! letterwood didn't hit me until I tried on this piece. The rose gold really brought out its color and it really brightened up my skin tone. I also love that chain can be doubled up:graucho:
 
Beth, I love your necklace. I saw it irl and it sparkles like mad! It just glows and you have 3 butterflies now! I want to enable you for the earrings! ;)

Sbelle, I LOVE that piece! Ok ladies, need some help. My sa called and has the pendant Sbelle showed above, I am down for the Malachite pendant! She told me the wood Patina's to look like onyx and it made me want the letterwood. Or should I just wait for the Malachite?
WIll the green match well, I think you all said yes and if I get the rose gold wood, would it go with rose gold?

The Malachite is gorgeous! just hate waiting when I want something. LOL. Oh and the price she quoted me from the book was 5900.
 
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.

Very pretty!!! Congrats!

Maybe look at your current jewelry & wardrobe to see which would fit your lifestyle better. I was quoted $5750. for the magic pendant in malachite...you won't have long to wait! Don't they launch 1 Mar? If so, less than a month to wait :graucho:

Just had a call from my SA and she gave me some of the malachite prices, but not all.

earrings (I am assuming vintage alhambra) - $4,900
5 motif vintage alhambra bracelet - $4,450
10 motif vintage alhambra necklace - $8,900
20 motif vintage alhambra necklace - $17,800
magic long pendant - $5,750 (same as you cat eyes

I am still waiting to hear the price of the 16 motif malachite magic necklace. This is just a guess, but based on the fact that the 20 motif is $17,800, it appears that they are pricing it close to tiger's eye and carnelian. So since the tiger's eye/carnelian 16 motif magic is $24,500 I think the malachite 16 motif will be around $25,000. And with that price I will almost definitely have to say NO!

Hi sbelle! I was told the 16 motif magic would be $26,600. before March 1. I assume there may be a price increase on/after that date. So I may be off on the launch date but I was told March. In my head, I keep reminding myself(well really my DH) to Pre-pay before the first. What is on your wish list?
 
Sweet DH you have. Both necklaces are lovely. I am sure you will enjoy them both.

Thank you!!

OMG.....I am not big fun of butterflies....but Those are incredibly beautiful!!

Thank you for sharing the pictures :loveeyes:

Thank you, they really are special to me!

Bethc, I am in love with your three butterflies. That pink one is just to die for! Wear them in good health :)

Thank you!! I'm in love too!

sbelle--love your necklace, see why you fell in love.

Beth C--necklace is gorgeous. Wasn't a butterfly fan until I saw this. Love the ring too.

Thank you!!

I am constantly reminded of how much I love this thread from the beautiful malachite earrings, to jen's byzantine bracelet and now sbelle and BethC's necklaces.

Gah!! Too much beauty for me to process. Love them all and it only encourages the enabling. They are all beautiful, congratulations to all of you!!

I also can't get the three butterfly picture out of my head! Beauty...

Thank you!! This thread is both amazing and trouble at the same time :)

628628, your earrings are truly gorgeous! I can't wait to get a piece of vca with malachite! Such a beautiful green!
Bethc, the butterfly necklace is precious! I adore it! Does it seem fragile when wearing it? I love the look of the pink!

Thank you!! No, it's not fragile at all, it's same as my ring and that's 3 years of me wearing it every day.

Love your butterfly collection! They are so pretty!

Thank you!!

What a beautiful piece! I'm fond of pink sapphires. It will go so well with your Butterfly collection!

Thank you!! I love pink sapphires too!

sbelle ~ very nice! congrats on scoring such a unique pattern of letterwood!

bethc ~ wow, i love the 3 butterflies together! thank you for sharing the pictures!

Thank you!!


I have been waiting for this! Stunningly beautiful, congrats Bethc!

Thank you! I'm waiting for a twin :)

I totally see why you fell for this pendant. The pattern is gorgeous!!! Congrats!

Thank you!
 
Well that settles that! I do not see the 16 motif in my future!:laugh:
I'm surprised to hear you "say" that. You have so many premier vca pieces, I thought you'd add one of these to your extensive collection. It is quite expensive and don't you have 2 16 magic motifs .... I believe I am remembering correctly. What are you planning on getting?
