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.

So pretty, Suzie. I think if would also look pretty to have the clasp in the back so you see the full mop on one side and the wg on the other intentionally.
These necklaces are like Legos...
Since VCA encourages is to link pieces together, wouldn't it be great if they would use hidden clasps ( like the magic necklaces )?
Any word on what's next besides another price increase?

Yes, texasgirlirgirl, I agree it would be better if they had hidden clasps but to be honest I just throw it on and not worry, I do wear WG on one and MOP on the other or a bit lopsided.

Do you mean what is next for me or VCA? We don't have a store here so I can only glean information on here. I am travelling overseas in July but probably won't have any funds for more VCA unfortunately.

I did buy the WG frivole earrings last year and I really like them.

The clasp doesn't bother me either. Most if mine are double sets of 10 so j nearly always have the clasp.
Don't you just love the frivole earrings?!!! My favorites.
I have them in large yg and pave and seriously considered buying the small yg as well.
As far as what's coming out...my guess is either grey MOP or lapis but I haven't spoken to my SA lately. There really is only one item left on my wish list and I really need to forget about it because it's so $$$$

The frivole earrings didn't really sing to me until I tried them on in Hawaii and then I had to have them!

They remind me of plumeria!
Such a nice reminder of your trip.
The small frivole earrings are so perfect. I keep telling myself that two pair are enough but I often wish I had the small....

I had to google plumeria and then I saw that it is frangipani, which is a very common flower here in Oz. I really wish that they had the large frivole in WG.

I don't know why VCA will do some items with only YG and some with only WG, surely they should be able to do both. If they did an onyx with WG would have been mine in a heartbeat.

I totally agree !!! VCA would sell a lot more if they would offer more items in WG. Onyx in particular. That said, VCA has turned me onto yg. Interesting that you mention onyx because I wear the onyx more than any other piece.

I totally agree that VCA should make more pieces in WG. I used to be only a platinum/WG girl and VCA has turned me toward loving YG jewelry. I am happy for that! TGG ----My next piece is the 2/10 onyx. I am obsessed. I also want the white gold frivole earrings and/or the large YG frivole. I wear the small YG frivole way too often.

I can only dream about the diamond clover bracelet! It sounds divine!!! My SA says the price increase could be around 5% but I believe it may vary depending on the collection and pieces.

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:

I do not know if it was been mentioned yet, but I just received confirmation from one of my VCA SAs that there WILL be a price increase on 4/21/14. The price increase will be across the board but will vary, depending on the item. It will start at 8% & up. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news :-(

I have some pieces in my mind was going to purchase in Paris next month, but my arrival is after the price increase.


I just got off the phone w/ the Chicago store, price increase is worldwide.


Perlee line increase 5.5%, some other lines 8% which is the highest increase.
