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~

OH MY GOD I love this!!!!!! I'd do this on my floor in a heart beat... (probably insanely too expensive but I love the look!)

It is made by ARTISTIC TILE. Go under GLASS and then Mosaic. I met with my designer today and she said she would not recommend it for a floor because it actually has GLASS in it along with Marble (will scratch easily). It could be a border or used in the shower/bath area. It is pretty $$$$. I have to say I am sort of obsessed with it. Today I had my 20 motif turquoise on at the tile studio and the owner came over and she said, "oh look, your necklace matches the sample tile board you picked out!" I said "Oh I didn't know that! Wow!" Sort of didn't want to admit that I am obsessed with the design of alhambra! Only my friends here can relate! :)

can someone tell me the prices of the alhambra single motif pendant in turquoise versus mother of pearl versus onyx versus the red stone (forgot the name). I'm trying to decide on which to buy. :)

Here you go. Some may be off by a bit but this is from the VCA price thread.
Pendant set in WG with MOP and chain $2100
Pendant set in YG with Onyx and chain $2500
Pendant set in YG with Carnelian $2600
Pendant set in YG with Yellow Gold $2500
Pendant set in YG with Tiger eye $2600
Pendant set in WG with Turquoise $3150

Not sure about YG turquoise (hard to find) or YG MOP

The YG turquoise pendant is the same price as the WG. I purchased mine in February of this year at the VCA store in Orange County.

Thank you kimber418. I have the yellow gold vintage with yellow gold Alhambra. For my second VCA piece which color is probably best? I have olive skin tone and dark brown hair. I was thinking turquoise or onyx or mop in yg.
 
#611
I would get YG MOP. It is timeless, classic & goes with anything you are wearing. It would compliment your skin tones also. Good luck. The yellow gold vintage is a great first piece of VCA by the way. Like I said earlier, the turquoise is very hard to find.

Hello,

I recently purchased my first VCA piece! (And this is my first TPF post!) I was a little surprised by how deep the coloring was of the turquoise. I feel that most of the turquoise Alhambra pieces I have seen on the website and in their advertisements are usually a lot more of a sky blue color.

Thoughts?

Thanks!
