Wait for the GREEN.
It is going to be spectacular..........
Once you see it if you prefer the letterwood you can always get that piece because it is not a LE.
Patience my friend...

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.

Sbelle-That pendant is gorgeous. I love the way it looks like leopard. Oh my. I just love it. Have you worn it yet?

sjunky13~ Is the pendant in Malachite a small pendant or the larger one like Sbelle's
LE? I am behind on reading so sorry if you talked about it already.

Hello, I haven't been to this thread in a while, and would like to ask: Is the entire malachite line going to be limited edition?

My VCA SA said it would be part of the regular line. Anybody else hear the same thing?

lol -- she should get them both! :graucho: Just kidding.

I thought the malachite was going to be a LE, but I was told it would be part of the regular line too.

I have worn it and I love it! Others may feel differently, but I find it to be a much more casual piece than the 10 and 20 motifs. I like that about it. I love my 20 motifs but they feel way more fussy than this. This feels young and hip (and btw I am not either!).

I'll pop in here since I know the answer. It is a Magic pendant like the letterwood. I think it will be lovely too!

"lol -- she should get them both! Just kidding. "

I laughed out loud when I read this above! You crack me up! Thanks, Sbelle, for your answers! I am obsessed with your pendant. I just never thought I would like the magic
size (just on me). I have the Vintage single pendant in turquoise and love wearing it but the letterwood you scored is the best ever. I have looked at your picture almost 20 times already. I wonder if they are hard to get?

I totally agree with you about wearing a 20 motif. I love wearing the two I have but it does seem to add a bit of fussiness in a good way I mean. I have worn my MOP 20 with jeans before and a nice top but I get that feeling like "maybe I shouldn't wear this" with jeans feeling. In Austin NOBODY even knows what they are…..My SA at Nordstroms told me she loved my Kate Spade earrings the other day when I had my turquoise Vintage alhambra earrings on. I said "Oh Thank you!" :)

No it's only in YG:( I've been told by an SA you can fill out a special request form and wait and see what vca says....

Didn't another TPFr do that with onyx and carnelian with WG?
Click to expand...

Yes, another member did, But from memory they charged another 25% on top.

They are costing themselves money, that's for sure as I would have already purchased the onyx and carnelian but as I live in Australia where there is no store it is impossible for me.

I think one of the things I love about where i live is that no one knows VCA, so I feel comfortable wearing my bracelet without judgement, and I'm contemplating earclips because I love the vintage alhambra and it would just be so under the radar. It's easy to over look someone's bracelets and earrings... not so much with a necklace.

The "I shouldn't wear this with jeans" is the feeling I got with the 10 motif, and I knew i would still be nagging at me even with a 20 motif. I know it's dress up/down but in my mind the onyx & weight of the gold had too much presence and I'd be too self-conscious. I know some people think it looks like costume jewelry and not expensive at all... but to me the quality is so there.

I'm so excited to see everyone's new purchases! keep 'em coming ladies!

No one around here knows about VCA either. I get compliments when I wear my pieces but feel people think it's "costume" too. I don't care as I feel wonderful when I wear them and can't stop looking at their amazing beauty.

Yes, but she is in Europe and did it through Harrod's . I asked 2 different US VCA boutiques that I deal with and NM about special ordering in WG and I was turned down on the spot. Each time I was told that they wouldn't even put in a request because there was no possibility it would even be considered.

Hi sbelle, how long is your gorgeous letterwood when worn with the chain doubled?
