Can you edit your post and enlarge the pictures? It's hard to see the whole picture when we click on the little ones.
I prefer the one with carnelian. It looks more interesting and suits you beautifully.
I do like the pop of carnelian on you, but I think the pg/wg will be easier to wear in general.
Sell a kidney?Hi! Does anybody know how to purchase the 5 motif rock crystal bracelet? Is it still available? I really really want to add it to my blue agate bracelet stack. Thank you so much for the help
Hi! What issues are you facing? I placed an order just yesterday and it worked fine for me. Hope you aren't encountering any issues now.
Thank you so much for your reply. I have been reading articles online to see what it is all about in regard to the fluorescent in diamonds. It seems that the heated diamonds have this fluorescent. And it is said that fluorescent in diamonds can actually influences the prices---- usually price drops a bit in diamonds with fluorescent. If I pay the same or similar price as other VCA customers do for the same item, I would rather choose a piece with fewer stones that show fluorescent.
I might add only two pairs of pave earrings(one Socrate studs and the other Lotus) from VCA and I do want them to be perfect and cost-effective. Plus it is for celebrating the big girl B-day, stepping into the middle-age circle
You certainly can try to choose a piece with no fluorescence if you wish. I think parcels of melee diamonds are not separated by fluorescence and that is why they are mixed in. In tiny diamonds there is likely not cost difference. There is a big cost difference in a 3 ct D VVS diamond with and without fluorescence, though. In any event, you need a UV penlight to take with you, not a loupe. Something inexpensive like this is just fine.
Fluorescence is a totally natural phenomenon (and actually is very beautiful) in natural mined diamonds. If you are talking about low quality diamonds having high pressure-high temperature treatment to whiten them or change color, that has nothing to do with the diamonds VCA uses. They definitely use very high quality natural, untreated diamonds. There is nothing negative in terms of value about them having some naturally fluorescent stones mixed in a pave piece.
Can’t see any specific pieces. Don’t know why. The site comes up but that’s all.
Have you tried using another browser? The graphics all load for me on Chrome.
I have the same issue for a week. Tried different devices and browsers. It’s probably the universe telling me to stop shopping.
Me, too! How can I strategize?
Yes, same time frame for me! Well, possibly the universe telling me not to even browse!
Oh, interesting, I'm using Firefox on my laptop. But it also won't load properly on my iPhone, so there it's via Safari.
