Vintage size Turquoise and MOP earrings just came up on Yoogis Closet for a good price! No paperwork though but....they authenticated them. If I didn't already have in sweet size would buy turquoise!

By authenticate do you mean someone took them to VCA and verified authenticity or they have a jeweler on staff who gives an opinion?

Their staff guarantee's their items are authentic. You could buy and take to VCA to have peace of mind though. They have 30 day return policy.... I can't believe they have been for sale for over an hour! VCA sells so fast on their site. Many ladies here post when they see deals on this site and Ann's Fabulous Finds but they are never there long. Hope someone here gets either pair! Oh and there is a Carnelian ring with center diamond too. Too small for my finger :(

Thx CAT. 😃
I noticed all of their rings advertised as Cartier are from size 4 to 5.25.

bags to die for said:
Stylemechanel, my 2 cents are on your questions 2 and 3. Ive only ever bought one Christmas pendant and it was the lapis.

You can have the necklace lengthened. I had it done years later since I bought it in Singapore and had to leave the next day.

I still love the lapis. Possibly even more now since I know it is irreplaceable and the colour remains amazing

Thank you bags to die for! I wouldn't have hesitated for a minute if it was lapis - one of my favorite stones and then I would have found/purchased a longer chain even though it would not have been from VCA. So I guess that really answers my question for me - besides the size, length of the chain, and my own dbty necklace my heart wasn't really in it. Thank you so much for your input it really helped.

I'm not sure if this helps at all but I took these pics a while back. I have a platinum Tiffany dbty which is shortened to 14" but fits me more like a 16" would fit most necks. I have a yg mop single motif which I measured and it looks like it is 14.75" to the shortest loop and 16.5" to the longer loop. Here are 2 pics showing it attached at the 2 different lengths so one there is almost 1" difference in length between the necklaces and the other there is 2.5" difference. I don't feel like they are competing when they are close since my dbty has such a small stone but if it was a bigger diamond may feel that way. The first pic shows the vca on the shorter loop.

Wow!!!! That looks so perfect on you!! Thank you so much for taking the time to provide photos. On you they really compliment each other. Maybe in a year when the holiday pendant is something I just cannot pass up and in my wish of wishes they make a big one with a longer chain, in yg and lapis ( as they have in the past), or pg and opal - maybe with a diamond...a girl can dream...... :girlsigh:

Thank you again Smalls!!!

Just wanted to share my beautiful malachite with you ladies :)

worn on the right hand with my YG Love. The ring is a tad big on my ring finger, so I'm wearing it on my index finger.

Hello ladies,

Does anyone here have an experience of buying VCA creation from their online boutique? How is it like? (packaging, shipping, and general customer service etc.) And I've noticed that the online boutique charges sales tax, is this normal? I wish I could go down to New York but I just simply cannot afford to make a trip. Thank you all in advance!

I haven't bought online, sorry. Their in-store customer service is excellent but repairs, quotes, special orders etc. are SLOW.

The thing about sales tax is odd unless you live in a state that has a VCA boutique. If you do then you're out of luck - they have to collect no matter how far away the boutique is.

SA texted me today about the holiday pendant. I told him I would pass this year. He said he would keep me on the list just in case I change my mind, but I don't think I will. My next VCA purchase will be a signature bracelet or 10 motif in onyx.
I really thought I would love the pendant, but I just don't. :-(
