I like the 6 motif necklace and magic bracelet as a set!!
Another enabler, hahaha!!
Actually, neither was. They were not even on my radar. But someone wants to buy me one as a present and I can choose either the necklace or the bracelet (they like chalcedony).
If I said that eventually I'd get the Magic bracelet in all pave WG, would that change your answer at all?
Hello. VCA noob. I just received my vintage alhambra necklace that I lengthened. I’m finding that the chain twists and gets shorter as i go about the day and I have to adjust. Is this normal? When I wore with another necklace, the chains got tangled and twisted together. Is this common as well? I’ve worn two necklaces in the last and they don’t usually get intertwined like that. Any Info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

I think especially because you want to get yourself the pave magic WG bracelet eventually, you should definitely go for the necklace! I liked the necklace more anyway - I think it’s more wearable even though it’s dressier and a lot nicer than the bracelet somehow - I don’t like the magic WG in this combination.
I’d choose the necklace, esp if you’re planning on getting the pave bracelet. I have the exact one and I find it very versatile- can be worn casual and formal. Heck even my dog could rock it well, lol!Yay or Nay? Someone is thinking of gifting me one of these chalcedony pretties. I can choose either. If I get one now, I'd prob end up getting both eventually.
(Ignore the RG Perlee Clover btw. I usually don't mix metals).
I’m not sure how common it is but I have the same issues with my vintage pendant! It annoys me to the point I don’t wear it as much I I would like so if anyone has any bright ideas on avoiding it happening I’d appreciate them too!
Gosh, Phoenix, this is kind of a dilemma. I think the someone who cares about you enough to want to give you a piece of jewelry really needs to find out what YOU really want. I wish they'd just give you a VCA gift card for that amount!!! I'd personally want the Magic pave long pendant before I'd get the Magic 6 motif with stones, since you plan to get the Magic pave bracelet. I just don't see getting something that someone else thinks is a good idea when there are likely many things you want more.
I do like chalcedony, but I like diamonds/ pave and other stones more.
I think maybe I'll try and ask for the same necklace in YG to match with my Magic bracelet in YG. The Magic bracelet in pave would have to wait for a looooong time, like 2022 or even 2023. I do like the Magic pave long pendant too - SIGH....too many wants!!
Thank you for chiming in, @DS2006. x
i’m planning on my next purchase either being a chalcedony 10 or 20, however, because chalcedony is pretty hard to match & i don’t want to buy a 20 and a 10, from personal experience, do you prefer your 20’s or your 10’s? i live a pretty casual & relaxed lifestyle, if that’s pertinent in your advice. thank you!
Ohhh, that makes 1000 times more sense to get the 6 motif necklace that matches the Magic bracelet you already have!!!!
@diane sun i have this necklace and it is absolutely one of my favorite VCA purchases. On my neck it fits perfectly, the motifs hardly flip at all. I highly recommend this beauty, HTH
