have anyone here have bought any preloved VCA on rubylane or 1stdibs? Are they reliable as I see it's quite similar to ebay but not individual sellers. They do listed some VCA pieces with great price

STUNNING. You are all serious enablers. VCA bracelet is now #1 on my wish list.

Your malachite is really a stunner, and the way you stack the love in between 2 clover bracelets just compliment each other so much

I had a similar question about preloved pieces. For those that have purchased them was the savings worth it if they did not come with a certificate? I've seen a few pieces that are tempting but after researching the cost of authentication am wondering if in the end is it worth the c. 10-20% difference.

Thanks!

I hope all of you don't think me horribly rude to say these rings just don't do it for me, personally? They are pretty, for sure, but I don't find them quite as special as so many other VCA pieces. Maybe because my fingers are very tiny and I think they would probably look too chunky on me? Thank goodness for that, I guess, because it seems like I could see myself craving just about everything else they make. Am I alone in not finding this design so compelling?

I don't think it's rude. We had been waiting to pics of these rings for a while and they just got them in, so I thought I'd post the pics. Not everything VCA makes appeals to everyone.

For reference, the SA who took this pics is about 5'1" and is also 5 months pregnant.

Onyx for versatility.

Gorgeous stack!

I'm not a yellow gold lover, but this photo is just so fabulous! Congrats on choosing such lovely iconic pieces.

Hi cung, I have the very same problem - I mostly likely have the smallest adult wrist on the planet - think children's size. I am dropping my vintage alhambra bracelet off tomorrow for sizing, they will be taking the full inch out. I will post pics when I get it back, maybe that will change your mind? You never know......

Me too! And then something happened, like a switch was turned on and here I am. I have one piece, about to pick out another tomorrow, and I have a growing list. I guess timing is a funny thing, the focus on how to spend available funds ( last child almost out of college, retirement paid for and ready, etc.), and how our tastes change.

I can't wait to see what you choose; please post photos soon before I fly out.
