I have recently found myself wearing the Cosmos pendant more than any of my other VCA pieces so I was thinking about adding another pendant to my collection.
I can't decide between the lotus pendant to match the ring I have ordered or the flowerlace pendant which would be my only item from this range . Any thoughts would be appreciated .

I've been thinking about the same thing! Out of all my VCA pieces, I wear my cosmos pendant the most. It's just so easy! Personally, I do not like the chain on the lotus pendant. And I fell in love with the flower lace pendant ever since I saw geminigal wearing it. It looks so feminine and light!:love:

Oh, and I think you should send them your bracelet. I think it is the only way that they will get the color you want!

Hi, would like to ask for your help.

In the beginning of the June I'll go to Miami and want to buy Lotus earring. This will be my first time in USA and I'm not familiar with shopping tips there(like VAT refund in Europe, special day discounts etc).

Any ideas if I can get some discounts in Bal Harbor shopping mall? It's always nice to get some discounts :)

Thank you very much for your help.

P.s. In Paris Van Cleef boutique VAT refund is 12%.

Hi, there are no discounts in the US (there's no VAT here either).
Hope you'll have a good trip though!

From pictures, I prefer the flowerlace pendant. It's very pretty and feminine and whimsical. I also like that it is an open design, giving you a different look; whereas, the lotus is concentrated like the cosmos. I have to say that i do love the lotus on black silk collar though! If you decide on the lotus pendant, maybe VCA can switch out the snake chain.

Still need more help ladies,

I will get vintage alhambra MOP 10 motifs necklace and 5 motifs bracelet. And here is my questions.

- For Necklace,can I get extension link...I saw some picture from this threads got 4 inches extension link before. How much do I need to pay extra?

- For Bracelet,I have really small wrists..and I will have to adjust the bracelet(maybe almost 10 links off total) but my question is....if I connected 10 motifs necklace with 5 motifs bracelet (which already adjusted short).....is that gonna be noticeable ??
Is anyone has been experiencing in this issue?
And if I don't adjust the bracelet at the store,do you recommend to adjust at local jeweler? Coz I might want to wear both as 10+5 motifs necklace.



Thanks
VD Za

I had an extention made, my SA in Toronto said VCA would only go 3 inches. The first inch was free, than they charged me for the extra two. I believe it was 400.00 plus tax. I just got mine back a couple months ago, they did a really nice job. I had to send them the necklace so it would match up, it took them two months. That's how it was for me but I know some people have 4 inch extentions. It looks really nice with them linked up though.

I would love to see a modeling shot of the cosmos or lotus pendant. I have been going through the old threads searching and so far I have not had any luck. Does anyone have one they could post or point me to? Thanks!!

Park56, Thank you very much for the info. It looks a bit disappointing...

Another question. I have found a VCA boutique in Boca Raton. The web of shopping mall looks a bit more customer friendly rather than Bal Habor. Does anyone have bought something there? Is BR boutique worth the trip? Does Mizner park has loyalty cards that can be used in VCA?
