I was told that you can squeeze or stretch the butterfly motifs together or apart to make the ring a little smaller or bigger but they don't suggest re-sizing in general. hope this helps. are you considering this ring

Hi Ladies! I'm new to VCA and I'm just loving everything! I was wondering if you guys have a dedicated reference thread with pics or a thread with just modeling pics of all things VCA. I'm trying to decide on what to get and I'm getting confused as to what piece is what. All help is appreciated!

Thanks Kim! I have never actually tried one on but LOOOOVE the design and had a week ago seen one on ebay (has since been removed) that was whatever Fr. size equates to a US 4.5. On my right hand I'm a 7.5 but I thought maybe since it's open etc I could stretch it or have it worked on a bit... seems to be a moot point though as it's been removed!
I don't think I can justify the $24 K (I think it is now?) for a new one but thought I might have found a bit of a steal there and would have gone for it if it had been a bit closer in size! Oh well... REALLY don't need more jewels at the moment!

I keep telling myself that all the time, especially with Mother's Day around the corner!
Hi ladies..
I need your opinions and help! I recently bought the vintage 5 motifs YG/MOP bracelet and vintage ring YG/MOP with diamond. I now want to add to the set and don't know what to get as my budget is limited.. So do you think I should get which of the following:
* vintage pendant YG/MOP
* sweet pendant YG/MOP
* sweet earrings YG/MOP
I'm confused as the earring will complete the set more but actually since the sweet is small and I always wear my hair down it might not show.. And as the pendant will show more I still believe that even if I wore the pendant still the set will be missing without the earrings plus the sweet pendant is too small and the vintage pendant is almost double the price of the sweet pendant!!
If I got the pendant what earrings would go with the set?
Please helppp me decide!!
TIA

I would go for either pendant, especially since you wear your hair down a pendant would be more visible and get more wear. You could always wear diamond or gold ball earrings, if you want studs. Also, I don't think its necessary to think about wearing them all together. Just because you have a complete set doesn't mean you have to wear them all together,at least I wouldn't, maybe that helps with your decision..

Pendant, you can always get sweet earrings down the road but the necklace will make a statement
Get the vintage pendant.
It is a wonderful piece that will have just the right impact.
The sweets are nice but cute.........tiny.
I would not worry about matching earrings..once you have the pendant, you will have a lot of clovers going on.....more chic to wear gold hoops or diamonds.

Since you said you wear your hair down, and wouldnt get much visibility with the earrings, I'd go with vintage pendant. The sweets are really small and unless tiny is what you specifically want, it probably won't make you happy in the long run.
Plus, for me, 2 of 3 pieces in different areas (ears, neck, hand/wrist) is usually my limit. So, 2 matchy & 1 complementary, otherwise I feel too matchy-matchy... But that's me. I've totally seen other ladies rock the all matched sets.
My bracelet came back& I totally love it. The only problem is that when I had it sized down, I was over zealous in my estimate. It is a hair short... It'll fit one wrist but not the other. So... Back it goes! (sigh) I attached it to a sweet to stack & make up the length and it looks great! I'll get some pics to share before I send it back.
Can anyone tell me prices for a single motif YG/MOP clover necklace, as well as the Sweet sized version? There's no VCA store in my city, and I can't find any pricing online.
Do they also make a single motif WG/Chalcedony clover as well, or is that multiple motif only?

Hi.. In my country (Dubai) the small pendant (sweet) in YG/MOP is $1375 and the bigger one (vintage) is $2380..

I have long hair as well ,so tend to buy the regular vintage earrings as I find the sweet a little too small for me
