I am embarrassed to admit that I am a tech idiot and have not learnt to watermark and post pictures lol. Will do so once I figure it out :p

I have such a humble collection right now, but would love to choose and build the right pieces over time.... I just wonder if I will get much wear from the magic pave ring, but when I tired it at the boutique, it absolutely sparkles!!!!

You are so smart to put thought into your collection.
When I first started collecting, it was all about the necklaces. In retrospect, I wish that I had considered more earrings or perhaps a pendant vs a full on 20 motif
I only wear my wedding and e ring so the rings never tempted me but they are beautiful.
Also consider things that can serve double duty. For example, I bought two 10 motifs and earrings in yg but I wish I had purchased the pave earrings. In yg they still look great with the yg vintage necklaces but the extra sparkle on the ears is nice...and can be dressed up.
A 20 motif ( or two 10's) can be wrapped around your wrist for a stunning bracelet.
So exciting to build a collection. This thread is always so inspiring.

I don't know how either! I have posted a few anyway but I really should learn.

I would love a gold bracelet to add to my wrist (don't want to say collection cuz I don't want to admit it may become a collection). That's also what I said about Chanel (only one chanel) and it is now a collection. I am so bad...in the best way.

Does anyone link a non matching 5 motif bracelet to a different 10 motif necklace? And if you do, how do you wear it? I have a ten motif onyx and gold and thinking about getting a bracelet in gold but still want to have the option of linking to the necklace. Pics would be great too.

2 years ago, I've never even heard of VCA! Now thanks to all of you lovely ladies here, I have a pair of Super size MOP YG earrings, small frivole earrings in YG, and recently bought a 5 + 10 motif malachite! I originally asked my SA to reserve the malachite magic necklace for me but after trying on both, I couldn't resist the 10 + 5 motif instead for its versatility. Now I am lusting after a magic pave ring, 10 + 10 mop YG and more earrings... Sigh... Can't decide which is priority lol. And the price increase coming soon is certainly not helping! :(

That's a great collection in just two years. Congrats! My problem is that they are all priority but limited funds.

I am always late to the party. :(. Just got my first piece last month.

The worst part is that in a few years, you will still be addicted and what you paid for your first piece will seem like a bargain! :D

My regret is not getting a pair of vintage onyx ear clips years ago because now I want them so much, but probably won't be able to scrape together the savings before the next price hike. :girlsigh:

Hi ladies, I have really been enjoying wearing my MOP 10 motif in white gold, I also have a vintage WG 10 motif that I bought from Betteridge that I bought from them about 2 1/2 years ago and I also have a 5 motif MOP.

Here is a pic that I took of the WG with the MOP to make a 20 motif, I also add the 10 to the 5 for a different look.
