Hi
Which bracelet would you pick?
Im torn between the two bracelets but both bracelets have pro and con for my liking...
-I like white gold jewellery
-I like the colour of blue agate
-I’m not sure about Onyx colour ( I’m afraid that Black colour of Onyx look a little sorrow?
-I like the option that one bracelet have both stones and diamonds
Hi, I actually bought the pave/onyx bracelet then returned it because of two reasons:
1. motifs flip so often and easily and I do not appreciate the backside of pave motif
2. I found two onyx in a row diminishes its beauty (it would be better if they are even number of motifs so alternate in perfect order)
I would vote for the blue agate or full pave bracelet, but it is only my personal preference.

Ask me again in the summer and I will tell you, lol.
I have the full pave Vintage 5-motif and although they flip a bit, it doesn't bother me that much as the underside of each motif is still quite blingy. I used to have the full pave Sweet and the motifs flipped A LOT and the underside was not so blingy and that drove me crazy; so I ended up selling it at a loss!
The pave 5-motif does look a bit lonely though and I've been contemplating selling this 5-motif and get a pave Magic bracelet or I'd get the Vintage with ceramic+pave and stack with this pave Vintage 5-motif....Most likely though I'll get the Magic pave bracelet bc I absolutely love the Magic bracelet as a concept (and have the MOP one with YG, which I wear all the time). And, I am OCD about odd numbers.
I've paid for but not yet collected the lapis pave bracelet - I will pick it up in the summer. I'm a teeeeny tiny bit apprehensive about the odd number of the lapis motifs, being the OCD person that I am.
I think the wg onyx and pave is a stunning bracelet! I am considering it, but I also know I could buy three non-pave vintage bracelets for the price of that one. So I'll have to think a little longer! I do like the blue agate very much and would like to have that one, but I think the wg/onyx would be worn more. Of course, I have the pave earrings and pendant, so that's another reason I would lean towards the pave/onyx. I guess I want both! lol! Sorry to not be more helpful!
Though stunning, the pave onyx reminds me of a checker board with its alternating motifs.
I would rather get full onyx or full pave.
So in this case, I would choose the blue agate.

I have the onyx and diamond NYC bracelet and adore it !
Totally would get my vote all over again

It never shows prices for me. I am in Singapore.
I’m really appreciated all your opinions. Thank you. I wonder if I can request Blue Agate to be set in White Gold. But I think they’re going to no especially in my country.
For those who own Onyx/Pave, is it your most favourite in your bracelet collection or something else you love it more?
I wouldnt mind any action shots
You might be able to special order the agate in white gold, but it will cost about 30% more than the yg one. I hate the added cost since the bracelets are priced fairly high in the first place.
The prices are showing for me. Look in the search box in the upper right side of the page. It should say USA. I'd pull down the list and select USA again and see if that resets it.

Very different bracelets/looks. But if I were to pick one, it would be the black/pave for the neutral color and bling factor. Good luck deciding!
Hi all! Anyone have experience with the durability of tiger eye stone? On their website VCA has care instructions for MOP, malachite, porcelain, etc but no tiger eye! Is this as delicate as the other stones such that it can’t get wet?
I’ve contacted vca and they recommend for non of their natural stones to get wet. Washing hands is ok but not submerging
