Hi VCA lovers! I just wanted to let you all know that CHRISTIES is having an auction (you can register and bid online) and there are several VCA vintage pieces (to die for) and even a few Vintage alhambra necklaces. There is a carnelian YG (20 motif) and a black onyx YG (10 motif)! The prices seem very fair, however I do not know how high they go. I am registered on Christies and it is not hard to open an account. You can place a bid online, etc. Would love for some of my Jewelry friends to get a great deal. I am on a serious ban for a little while but I had to pass the info on! If anyone needs more info on the link PM me!

Can't you just trade in the 10 onyx and get another 10 MOP? You can link the 2 10's together. Seems like you would save way more money that way.

Just one more! Oh if I was not getting the white gold pave frivole earrings I would jump on these gorgeous VCA earclips.

i was looking at the global price thread and am very confused... can someone tell me the exact price for both the sweet mother of pearl and turquoise butterfly and the little alhambra charm ring? in either the turquoise or gold vintage? thanks!

I know the mop sweet butterfly necklace is 1450. Not sure about the turq but it would be more, maybe 1600?

If in doubt email or call betteridge or london jewelers- they will give you the current price.

I know exactly what you are going thru. For me, it was a decision between the socrate, the lotus, and the frivole. I thought that having a matching ring and earrings would be very chic, but the socrate just was not as wearable, a little too dressy for me. ended up with the lotus, but even now, I wonder if the frivole would jave been a better choice because they are more versatile. So my answer to this dilema is to save for the cosmos down the road :graucho:

That's the thing though... will the cosmos really be more wearable? I know there are some similarities between the cosmos and frivole in terms of their floral shape, but somehow I feel the cosmos earrings are a little more dressy like the socrate? It's so good to be able to find someone who has gone through the same dilemma or thought process...! :flowers:
