also when comparing the links to my all gold bracelet, the all gold is more yellow than the carnelian which I thought was odd.

Yeah! Your bracelet is very red and beautiful! I know what you mean. The links of my onyx necklace looks more yellow than my carnelian necklace. Perhaps the reflection of the red colour??:smile1:

Maybe that's the case with the gold. But glad to hear its not just my bracelet (in a good way).

Your necklace is stunning. Looks great against your skin. The color really pops!
 
Oh WOW, see I LOVE this... now you've given me something to put my credit at Birks towards!! Will have to save up - banning myself for now, but what a gorgeous pick me up that would be one day next year! I love dangling motifs as long as they don't get in the way too much. So colourful and fun!!


Jen- I don't think it's the easiest to find because this part of the Lucky line is no longer in new production. This bracelet should be back on yoogis closet soon!

Florasun - It is a beautiful bracelet for an evening out or just to dress up. I wanted to be decisive because I don't have the budget for multiple VCAs this year!
 
Woo hoo! SA called and asked which piece of malachite I want! NM is getting it towards end of the month! They're taking pre-orders now so pieces can be reserved. Can't wait for my single pendant necklace!!!
 
Great pic-- looks fab on you!

I love this style! So much more me than the single motif vintage alhambra pendants. I bet the malachite is going to be beautiful too :graucho:

I have two (not one) 20 motifs on hold for me. A Chalcedony WG and a light red carnelian. I am ignoring malachite--for now. But it might be a lovely thing to get with Neimans points.

You have a Chalcedony don't you? I have been dreaming of this... Do you love it? It looks stunning nested with my WG/MOP. I have a gift card, so it takes a bit of the bite off the purchase.
 
I own this too. It's a fun piece.

I went to VCA today and tried this on--it's not for me, (I just am not a pendant person...) but it is sooo pretty, the chain is absolutely gorgeous and it looks amazing on you etoupebirkin

I was surprised at how much I liked the letterwood, I am hoping to buy my very first VCA sometime in the next 6 months; I really love the 10 motif, I like tiger eye which I dont see a lot of here, but I also tried on the letterwood and the rose gold was fantastic.

I saw the malachite today (NY VCA). I'm looking for something a little more neutral for my first piece but it is stunning and I can't wait to see the reveals!
 
do you find it's difficult to double up? I tried this on in Las Vegas and the salesperson and I were having a difficult time getting it right? Almost like you needed to be double jointed or something!!


To double this, lay the necklace flat so that there are two lines of the chains parallel to each other, then pick up the chain, wrap it around your neck and loop the pendant through where the U of the parallel chains meet. It more like how many people wear cashmere GMs.

If you are looking for a great neutral, then go for the pink gold if it looks well on your skin tone, YG if it does not. By the way the most neutral alhambra I have is the WG MOP and the Onyx YG. You can't go wrong with any of these.
