I saw a NM VCA SA wearing the 10-motif Malachite necklace which she said she bought a long time ago, It's all dirty and scratched up. I wonder if she wears it non-stop.
Maybe it is better for occasional wear only
It will be very interesting to find out how and if they can clean it .
If not I am definitely likely to just go for the long pendant which would be a shame as the colour really pops
 
Just a quick question for you VCA gurus out there!

I just recently purchased the 5 motif YG mop bracelet and thinking of having it lengthened to 8 inches. I have big wrist and also I want to wear above my watch. My question is...in the future I definitely would like to add the 10 motif matching necklace. I imagine I will have that lengthened as well, to 18-19 inches roughly. But if I want to add the bracelet at times to make it even longer, will it look odd if the length between the motifs is different? Anyone have experience with this? TIA!
 
Momo721... it would look odd if they were unevenly spaced, but I don't think it's an issue - when they lengthen them they'll add an even amount (1-2 or 3 links) between each motif. Just make sure they do the same with both piees and you'll be fine! :)
 
Yeah! I am so happy for you not to be stuck with a piece you do not truly *love*!

Please keep us posted if you buy a replacement piece because you know how much we love our reveals, photos and,modeling shots ;-).

I am REALLY glad that it worked out so well for you :-)

Thanks! I know I was sick at the thought of having to consign or sell on eBay and get way less.
 
I would not risk a ring nor a bracelet in malachite.

I spoke with a salesperson in Las Vegas today (very helpful fellow) as i wanted to hear a fresh take on the rumors of perlee line coming out in YG as i fell in love with the engagement ring but i'm not a fan of RG. (And YG engagement rings are nearly impossible to find). He said there's no news on that. However i also asked as to whether they would offer a Vintage Alhambra ring in malachite. He said they will have 2 malachite rings -- Magic and between the finger. A vintage one could be ordered as a special order (but not needing approval from Paris). But here's my dilemma -- i would LOVE a malachite ring but even on VC's website they say one should refrain from getting malachite wet. How many times does one wash one's hands during the day? - lots! There's no way i want to take the ring off every time i wash my hands. But hey, they ARE selling 2 malachite rings as part of their regular line, no?
Is anyone else hesitating on a malachite ring because of their warning?
(I could get a bracelet instead but i wear a ring every day -- i don't wear a bracelet every day and i have 3 other Vintage A bracelets...
Thoughts?

I think anything more than 2 links and you would notice. I had a necklace lengthened by 2 extra links between each motif and VCA forgot to do 3 sections. I didn't even notice it until I measured it against my other 10 motif necklace several months later and realized it didn't measure up. I had them fix it because it annoyed me that it wasn't perfect.
 
I have no idea what got into me today. I know the thread is very excited about malachite and here I am going backwards! I always was curious about this lucky charm bracelet that they stopped showing (in turquoise, lapis and that star shape!) and I saw it on Yoogi's Closet online and just bought it because I was afraid I wouldn't have the option if I didn't. I'm not even sure how I feel about it!

Did they stop making this line? I haven't seen it in ages. I wanted it when I bought my chalcedony bracelet and my SA talked me out of it because of the dangling motifs. I think Yoogis has a return policy in case I don't like it. I had wanted to go in later this month and get a WG/MOP bracelet to stack with the chalcedony and turquoise bracelets I have in white gold. I'm not sure how this will work if I want to stack.

This is the stock picture... we'll see!

I have always loved this bracelet! I hope you love it when you get it!!
 
Thanks Candice! I'll post pictures when it gets here. I don't know why I'm so incredibly nervous!! (lol!)

Maybe it's the buying without trying thing or the fact that I like to sit and simmer in my wish list for weeks (at least!) before I buy. This definitely was NOT next on the list but you never know. Do you know if anyone on this forum has it?

not that I know of, I know I've seen pictures of it on but I think it was an ebay listing....

as long as they have a return policy there's no risk!!!
