My SA told me 10% increase so I ordered my 5 motif onyx bracelet, I wish I could get the 10 motif to right now but I will have to pay more in the summer for it. A price increase anytime sucks but I wish they were in the Fall this time.

Noooo not another increase. Does anyone regularly wear small perlee hoops with a 10 motif vintage necklace? I splurged for the necklace back in December and of course want more VCA!

Yes!!!
I have them in pink gold and really love them.
Great size. Btw, with one exception the rest of my vintage necklaces are set in yg.
The pg is so close to the yg you really can wear them with yg.

Hi ladies,
i have an awkward question about nm vca return policy :(
i have been eyed on the 10-motif onxy for a while and was planning to get it as a gift for myself *if* I could get a promotion in two months; however...i heard the price will be increased very soon...

so is it possible i get one from nm and in case my promotion case does not go well i can still return it after a few months (of course in unworn condition) for full refund? please don't laugh at me.. i am sure i can still afford it but it has been a family tradition that we only make big purchase when something good happens and each expensive piece I own is with a joyful story :)

[update] i just called a nm and someone there told me there is no deadline for the returns as long as it is brand new. is that true? thanks!

Hmm... If I am not mistaken, for jewelry, there is a limited deadline when they will accept returns. "A few months" I think would be pushing it... Check with the jewelry manager to be certain. Clothing returns are more lenient as long as a customer does not take advantage of the policy. Good luck and hope you get that promotion!

Im thinking about getting a pair of earrings and a necklace in the vintage size. I cant decide between carnelian and onyx. I've always liked onyx but also like the pop of color the carnelian gives. but it's a little tough with the carnelian because the color of the earrings and necklace are all a little different. I couldnt seem to find a good match as the necklace was always darker than the earrings. I know this is natural but Does this bother anyone else or am I overreacting? Also do you ladies wear the earrings and necklace together or is it too much to wear together ? I'm afraid it'll be too matchy matchy. Thanks!

Not overreacting. Some people like for it to all match and this is totally fine.
I had this dilemma with turquoise. My 20 motif is a lighter turquoise than my earrings.
The deeper turquoise looked more flattering so I bought them.
If you get carnelian ( which is so fabulous) get the color that looks prettiest next to your face.
The necklace...I really do think it's ok for it not to match perfectly just as long as you aren't trying to pair red earrings with an orange necklace.
Onyx is very versatile. One thing to consider is that carnelian can look almost like onyx at night so it might provide you more versatility.

Thanks for your reply! For some reason, I didn't think to choose the carnelian that looks best next to my face..I was just trying to find a match! I also didnt think carnelian could look that dark at night, thats good to know. Thanks for pointing that out! Hope you're enjoying your turquoise pieces!

Are some pieces in carnelian almost see through? As in kind of translucent? I saw a lady with a pair of earrings and it looked like i could almost see the outline of her earlobe through the stone in the light?

Looking for some advice as I am a vca newbie. I have a YG onyx 10 motif. I am planning my next purchase. I think a 5 motif bracelet is a good choice so I can wear alone or attach to the necklace. One option is to get the matching onyx bracelet but I wanted to explore other options and a different color bracelet is more appealing to me. But will it look odd when attached with my 10 motif onyx. Options I am considering are yellow gold, mop, carnelian or stick with onyx?

All thoughts welcomed. Thanks.
