Hi girls! Made my decision on which 10 motif to get as my first. I decided on the YG because I can layer with any and all other 10 motifs I get in the future. :graucho: It is a bit more yellow on me than expected but still very pretty. MY dh had it lengthened by two inches because I can't stand things close to my neck and now that I'm pregnant and my neck is bigger (already :cry:) I needed it for sure. Do you all think it is long enough or should I have it lengthened a little more? I was thinking when it is layered with another 10 motif, it may look better a little longer.....please give me your opinions.

I think it looks beautiful on you! :tup:

We don't always get consistent answers from VCA, but I have been told several times that they won't add more than two inches to a necklace. Most recently was a few months ago when I was talking to the NYC workshop about adding length to my 9 motif Magic necklace. They mistakenly thought that the necklace had been lengthened once already and I was told that VCA won't add more than two inches because it affects the design of the necklace.

Maybe someone else can add their experience if it is different than mine.

Thanks sbelle! My DH was told VCA will add two inches at no charge. He didn't ask if we wanted to add more and pay if they would actually do it. I believe what you said about taking away from the motif design. I may do as someone else here has mentioned in the past and go to a local jeweler to see about an extender chain to add when I want it.

Love this! It matches your coloring perfectly and is such a nice complement to your top... green and gold so rich looking! I bet it looks equally great with other pops of color or in contrast to patterns.

This is so beautiful! Many congrats! It looks wonderful on you. Now you have me wavering in my decision - do I want to get the MOP/YG necklace, or just solid YG. It looks so rich and yummy.

Since you felt the need to lengthen your yg 10 motif I would imagine that you would want to do the same with any other pieces you collect.
Sorry about your morning (noon and night!) sickness. I had it as well...for about 16 weeks. Particularly bad with the girls....


CATEYES said:
Thank you texsgirliegirl! Since you mentioned it, I am not feeling well at all. Same as with my son, I am nauseated all day, every day. Last time it was for 5 months so I am crossing my fingers it is not that long this time:shucks:

My dh loves the carnelian as I do as well so that will most likely be my next 10 motif. That's why I told him I wanted 10 motifs-I could always add another if I wanted it much longer. Do you think this would look better an inch or two longer since I plan on layering it with another?

The other day, I was pondering if I were to one day purchase vintage sized earrings, I may get the solid yg because it would match all of my vca (I love the yg)-made me remember you modeling yours here and how smart of a decision that was for you to purchase.

Chanel is my other slippery slope :graucho: I have been very bad the past 6 months with bags and shoes. Luckily I am not currently into Hermes-yikes! Sigh.....like someone here once said, I need to plant a money tree.
