I am soooooo excited!! My first vca piece has arrived! My sweet DH helped me choose this piece. The gold 10 motif black onyx. It's such a simple, yet feminine style that goes with just everything. I realized after I bought it that I never even tried the 10 motif in anything except onyx. Tried the mop, yellow golld, rose gold and onyx in the 5 motif bracelet and felt the onyx was the most stunning and assumed the same was true for the necklace. I love it but somewhat regret that I didn't actually try on the others. I was too excited and never even realized. I can't believe myself... Thanks for letting me share.

Beauty in simplicity! You won't regret it cos it will get a lot of wear! I'll love to get these someday to go with my classic Chanel SHW quilted bags.

Thank you so much. I think I will get a lot of wear from this piece too. I was just thinking of pulling out my black chanel with ghw to match (great minds think alike). :). Hope you get your piece when the time is right.

Your malachite pieces are stunning!! May I ask if the pendant is part of the Lucky Alhambra collection? The motif is much larger than the bracelet motifs. Still learning about vca. Thanks

Malachite came out in a bigger than normal pendant size and the chain is also extra long (you can loop twice). I think its part of the Vintage collection and not part of the Lucky or Magic collection. The only other "stone" that comes in the same format is leatherwood.

Thank you for the clarification. I really like that larger size motif and the idea of a longer chain. It's truly stunning.

Congrats! Black and gold is classic, and looks good on women of any age. Unlike some other pieces you will be able to wear this for years. I'm sure you will enjoy it for a long time.

Thank you for the reassurance. It's definitely a piece I want to be able to wear forever and pass to my daughter one day. Can you elaborate what other pieces you think is more delicate in wear? I was concerned about wear and contemplated the all gold Alhambra but it didn't wow me as much as the onyx and gold on my skin tone. I still want to get the all gold but thought this was more of a pop for my first piece. Tia.

Congratulations on your first piece.
I have collected quite a few of these necklaces and I wear my onyx the most over all others.
Enjoy!
If you eventually decide to buy another 10 motif and you can clip it to the one you have and wear it long.

Hello ladies! If I am eventually planning on buying the all gold 10 motif necklace, do you think these earrings will suit it? http://www.tiffany.com/Shopping/Ite...search=1&origin=search&searchkeyword=amethyst The all gold 10 motif comes in rose gold too, right? I love the combination of the 10 motif with the frivole, but the garden earrings are more attainable and I can always invest in frivole down the road. the 10 motif wouldn't be immediate either, but hopefully by the end of next year. I have store credit that would be about the amount of the garden earrings. thanks!

Hi LVoeletters! I have two 10-motif in PG. I love solid gold necklace very much. Very wearable, and the motifs don't get dirty easily!!! These earrings are very pretty, but I am not sure about the combination with PG 10-motif... Purple flower X rose gold clover... Probably, a bit too much???


I wear matching PG vintage alhambra earrings when I wear it long, 20-motif necklace, but I don't wear alhambra earrings when I wear 10-motif. Too much motifs around my face!!! It may be just my preference.
;)
