Totally agree with this. I bought a shiny croc bag from Hermes thinking it was like patent leather but unfortunately that isn't the case and I soon found out you can't get any water on it at all. Needless to say I didn't enjoy the stress of that at all so replaced it with a matte black one . After this experience I am not going to buy anything knowing it is fragile.
Beautiful things still need to be practical to some degree.
Difficult to decide about the ten motif as carnelian and onyx are both beautiful however I have found that I do wear the onyx a little more than the carnelian because it goes with more of my outfits . I layer the onyx with my MOP quite a bit .
In fact her's a quick as I haven't posted my onyx yet . I have added a bracelet to the 20 motif MOP and the special order 15 motif onyx .

Has anyone heard definitively if there will be a VCA price increase in the next month?

My SA said VCA normally has a price increase in april and october, so she thinks we're safe for March.

Here's more Malachite pics, but I'm less excited now with everyone saying how fragile this is going to be:

My SA too much focused on finding the "matching" two, and forgot about my colour preference... I've changed my strategy. I'll buy one by one when I find the right one. My pickiness is hard to come by,too. The problem is I have seen the best carnelian once in Monaco....

(I did not think I would learn to want another Love again, after selling my YG plain one. But, someone's rainbow Love really caught my eyes. I saw it irl. Actually, coloured stones in RG was very chick!!!)

What about solid YG/RG 5-motif?? I really love my solid PG pieces. They don't get dirty, meaning I don't notice when they get dirty!!! It is easy for the motifs of vintage alhambra necklaces, so I would not choose other materials than hard stones, perhaps.

Totally agree with you! Colored stone love bracelet is what i'm getting this month! And I totally hate the brownlish red carnelian as well, but my SA says all the carnelian pieces she's been getting in the last few months have been brownish red.

So is the chain on the single motif malachite necklace very thin? That's the piece I want but don't care for a too delicate chain!
Btw, einseine, where did you find your 'running dog'? I love the little guy!

Hi ladies, thank you so much for always posting your VCA pieces. I fell in love with VCA when I first saw the vintage alhambra necklace. I then noticed the price tag. *faint*

Still, this week, I'm terribly grateful to my DD (and mum) who gifted me the 2012 lim. edition rose gold MOP pendant with diamond as I'm pregnant and this will be their first grandchild. heh

Loving this necklace and wearing it everyday! Slightly worried about the chain snapping if my baby ever grabs and pulls on it hard though...

Thank you for posting these lovely photos. One can really appreciate the brilliant green of the malachite.
While I am not one to modify perfection, I could not help but imagine how one could remove the larger charm from the bracelet and turn it into a pendant....

Does anybody know if regular VA sized ear clips will be offered?

I adore this! Thanks for sharing. I love your gold link chain that you wore it with in the picture too!

That's a really good idea to modify the magic bracelet. Almost a two in one!
