Got this in the mail today. I was so excited to receive it but as soon as i opened the box, i felt a bit let down. Not quite sure why. Maybe the color is different (darker) than what i envisioned it to be. Maybe it's the size... but i think its going back. Here's a quick pic though for all you VCA lovers :)

On the flip side, my 10 motif, i love very much!

I know exactly what you mean. I recently tried on the 10 motif and single pendant and much prefer the 10 motif onyx. I tried on the carnelian and thought the bright color would help as a single motif, but I just felt it got lost and it didn't blow me away like the 10 motif did. So I decided if I really want carnelian, I will save up for a 10 motif down the road and pass on the vintage single pendant.

I've been contemplating these for many years and finally pulled the trigger. Tried them on each time I traveled and came across them in a boutique. Introducing my new Frivole! I wore them as soon as they arrived. They're like happy little mirrors! :D

the earrings are stunning! If I can get one pair of VCA earrings, it would be the frivole. But too bad my piercing doesn't exist anymore after it closed itself and I worry about losing them/uncomfort as a clip on vs. post. Maybe one day I can re-pierce my ears. They are just so sensitive.

I don't feel that you really can compare the two.
The ten motifs are stunning in a different way.
I've collected quite a few 10/20 motifs and now I wouldn't mind a single pendant for those occasions when a ten motif might be a bit much.
The wish list never ends.....

Dear VCA friends, have gone ahead and bitten the pave bullet before the price increase! I decided to go for the magic pave ring and I love how it sparkles! I also added a 5 motif malachite bracelet which my SA managed to find in a color tone that is similar to my existing 10 + 5 so that I can now wear my malachite as a 20 motif length which I love! Will try and figure out how to post pictures soon. My lovely SA also gifted me with a bottle of champagne! Meanwhile, I am already plotting my next purchase... Would really love a 20 motif YG mop next! I should really stop visiting this forum! :sweatdrop::thinkin:
