i'd get the 2 10-motifs because it really does give you more options and wearability. also, MOP does not vary too terribly like carnelian or chalcedony so it would be easy to combine 2 10's without it being obvious, imo.

ITA and I would suggest getting different lengths so that you can layer them. I did that with mine and I just *love* the extra options it gives me.

I have a dilemma, should i wear my diamond bangle together with my new mop bracelet? They are nice together but i am afraid that my bangle might scratch the mop surface, any info is much appreciated! Thanks ladies!

WOW, Gorgeous!

They look great together! It just depends on how much your bangle moves on your arm and how hard it is. I wore my MOP with a diamond bangle and did lightly scratch the MOP. The bangle moved a lot on my arm and it had a somewhat hard edge that scraped against the MOP. The scratches are only noticeable when I look closely but I do know they are there. I now wear the MOP bracelet with a diamond tennis bracelet and have no problems. The tennis bracelet is lighter and has softer more rounded edges so it does not seem to scrape the MOP. HTH!

Thanks for your advice and info! Actually the bangle doesn't move that much, i custom made it to fit my wrist nicely, it stay in place so maybe it's not a problem then. I really love to wear them together. Thanks again!

Ladies, all of your pieces are gorgeous!
So many diamond reveals. Love them.

I just put my deposit down for the Frivole ring. I wanted it for a long long time and I am happy to finally be getting it.
They said about 4 months. The waiting is so hard.
I hope there is no increase next month. Please say no!

Congrats !! The Frivole pieces are gorgeous.
As you have paid the deposit the price should be fixed for you now.
I paid a deposit last August and had the old prices fixed until the end of March

Congrats! The waiting is hard! I also hope there will be no increase. I have four pieces on my never ending wish list and all are pave so I need more time to save up.

Where did you order it from? I know Betteridge let's me order w/out a deposit and gives the old price in case of a price increase.

NM made me pay for it in full when I ordered an out of stock item which kind of sucked but I guess that was to lock in the price.

Hi VCA lovers!

We are remodeling two bathrooms so I have been enthralled with mosaic stone patterns for the last few weeks. I am doing the master bathrooms in our home. I came across this sample board mosaic today and this photo was in the book of the company that makes the mosaic. It actually is MOP and so much prettier in person. It shimmers brilliantly. I have the sample at my home today. Not sure it it fits in my remodel project but I may try to use it as a border in the tub area of my bath! Luckily we have his/hers master bathrooms! I think the dress is for TGG!!!! The little alhambras on the tile board are a mixture of a MOP substance and carrara marble~

I saw this as an ad in a home design magazine. Love it!

Yay! I love the Frivole ligne as well. Yes, I should not be charged any new prices, which is great.

I ordered it from the Naples store, Carly is the boutique director and very very patient and helpfull. if anyone needs VCA help, she is great and so is her team.

That is so cool! I also would love this in my bathroom.

Yes, the wait is hard, but I am trying to get healthy and working hard on my diet and excersise, so it will be a reward when it does come!

Wow! I never really wanted any WG pieces, but seeing the sones in WG and then a diamond pices makes them glow like moonlight. Really gorgeous!
I would wear them together as they look stunning!
I wear mine with my LOVE, but I guess the diamond can stratch the MOP. IDK, I can't stop staring at everyones cooler ALhambra pieces, they really look so dreamy in the WG.

Nah. VCA in Naples, she was nice enough to let me exchange my pendant , plus add cash for the 50%. I need a size 56 (7) and there are none in stock.

I am bummed I missed triple points. I hope there is another before the increase. They offer 6 and 12 month financing, and I love that!
This is a ring I had and exchanged for a different size and then there was a huge mess , I forgot about it, then I would see pics and it makes my heart sing. It really does! I am glad it is in the works!

This is gorgeous!

I have spoken to the SM and he has now back tracked a little and said that Europe did go up 6% but Uk was variable ?
Not really sure what to think now but as I was able to complete my purchases at the prices going back to August last year when I paid my deposit I suppose I am still happy.
My DH thinks that he has been good as he allowed us to add on a couple of pieces at the old prices and was maybe under pressure to have these items finalised as the rise last September was huge.
Will be interested to see whether the price info is correct or not .
These are a some of my new items,will try and do better shots later
