Thanks! They are two of my favorite pieces and I really get a lot of use out of them! I got them before one of the last price increases and was able to use some NM gift cards which helped.

So gorgeous!!!Looks fab with your lovely bracelets too! Thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks! I never get tired of looking at pics of VCA so I am happy to share mine!
Ok, what is everyone getting? Anything?
I need to decide .
For me it is 10 motif onyx
Magic 3 motif magic earrings
MOP Magic ear clips
Letterwood Long pendant. This is coming out in OYNX and MOP btw!
I wish I could get all, but only can get 1. I wear Rings, earrings and bracelets all of the time. Necklaces I don't wear as much. But would if i had a few 20's! lol
I think either of the earrings would be great if you don't wear necklaces as much. The MOP Magic are probably more every day, but I also love the 3 motif Magic earrings. Depends on your every day wardrobe and comfort level with a dangly earring. I tried them once and the only downside was that they felt a little heavy.
Sadly the piece I really want (WG Perlee Pave Clover Bangle) is out of my current budget so I won't be adding anything new for now. I am very happy with what I have though
Not sure how much you shop at NM, but If you buy other items you can accumulate more points. Also I am a fan of their free financing.
Def go for the earrings if you don't really wear necklaces. It would be sad if you went with a necklace and didn't get the wear out of it. Did you hear when the long pendant is coming out in MOP? Before the increase or after? Do let us know what you ultimately choose. I think the 3 motif magic would be stunningOk, what is everyone getting? Anything?

Not sure what your style is like. Do you wear a nice shirt/jeans all the time? Do you go out often or do you work? If you have a casual lifestyle, I would probably echo the ear clips. I think you would get such great use out of them! The 3 motif probably would be my next suggestion. You wouldn't need a necklace with these since they would be the focus!! But the onyx would be fabulous. As someone suggested to me, you could get it now and then buy one a year or two down the road and then link them together. Then you would have your 20! I know. I am probably not helping. LOL...
I recently purchased the 10 motif onyx necklace. I'm not the type of person who saves nice pieces for a "special occasion" and love to wear my jewelry on a daily basis. Do you think you can wear this necklace 24/7 since it's onyx? Or do you need to remove it each evening?
Thanks for your input Florasun. I do not shop NM that much because there is no NM store in my area. I do not know how long it would take me to accumulate 10,000 points after VCA purchase this time If I open a NM card. Decision decision.
If you don't have NN, and if you buy VCA from NM I assume you don't have to pay sales tax? And 6% worth of points is the best deal I think you can get in the U.S.

i refer to it as VCA-logic. For example when I impulsively bought the malachite large pendant when picking up my bracelet. It wasn't in the budget AT ALL. But I reasoned, "Well I'm going to buy it eventually so why postpone joy?" Or when I bought the 20 motif a few years back at NM when they were having some sort of award special and using the "gift" card to buy an onyx pendant. Oh I can convince myself of anything. And I don't regret the purchases one bit!
If it is not on your list b/c you want it and absolutely love it...don't buy it. My SA said the increase is 8%. I am having the same dilemma. I feel I need to buy some earrings but not sure yet what I really want. Feeling pressured to get something b/c of the increase. Wish VCA would just come out with Lapis so there would be all kinds of things on our wish list

I know... I absolutely adore my pave alahambra earclips. Do you have those yet?
No. I really want the magic pave ring. It is obvious from my profile pic. Do I really "need" earrings. Considering the Frivole too as so many forum members talk about how lovely they are...we will see.
