I always justify my vca purchased with the plan to someday pass it down to my little girls.
Another reason why I prefer to buy two ten motifs vs one 20
Cateyes, I was so sick when I was pregnant too. It was in the evenings with my daughter then ALL day with my son! Once I reached 5 months, it was over except for certain foods or smells. Hope you start feeling better soon
Envy! Can you post modeling pics of your carnelian sweet? I can wear vintage earrings, but sweets are more comfortable!
I was on Oahu today so peeked in on the VCA counter. I didn't have very long so I didn't bother to ask to try on things, but I am glad I went to look because I think I'm in love with the idea of tiger's eye ear clips instead of the onyx. I've never seen TE in real life before and it is way more glowy and glossy looking than pictures can convey. It would still be very much a neutral for me & match my coloring & wardrobe.
The only thing is finding the right pair of stripes & coloring.....hmmm....

So you know how I feel-I'm sorry you do (or did). Mine was better in my 5th month too-gosh I hope it's not that long this time

Here you go. It's hard to capture the actual shade of the red, and this one is 99% close I would say. I'm very happy with this shade of red, not brownish, nor orangish, just the perfect red for me. Wish I could find vintage bracelets in this color.
I'm also post my two other sweet pieces that my 3-yr old daughter is eyeing on already.
Nice! Love the sweet carnelian bracelet. You should post this in the VCA family portrait thread also.
Dear Junkenpo, the tigers eye is very consistent. You don't see variation like you do with the carnelian and the turquoise. I bought two ten motifs from two different vca's and they match perfectly. The stripes move depending on the light, unlike malachite which remains constant.. Hope this helps.
Does anybody know how the malachite varies?
For example , the lovely lucky bracelet posted above shows a malhite leaf that appears lighter green with dark stripes but Sbelles pendant seems dark green with light stripes.
I wonder if there will be variation among the motifs or even among strands.
