Anyone has the Blue agate Magic Alhambra pendent? Thinking about eventually adding it to my collection, my boutique didnt have it this past weekend. Just got my first piece a bracelet in January and since then I just want more. Would love see some pictures.

I have this one from the Chicago boutique from awhile back. I keep it as a reference for when I’m ready to pull the trigger on a magic BA pendant

I love it. Hoping my bouquet gets it soon, so I can try it on and decide.

The coloring on that one is amazing which is was I saved it. Unfortunately, during that time I had just gotten a 20 and could not justify another purchase. Now I am kicking myself because I’ve recently started looking again and have not seen a single BA magic with that darker shade of blue!!!

Hi everyone....just wanted to ask if anyone has seen this light shade of blue agate in any boutiques?

This pic is courtesy of youtuber, Maria Draganova . I saw this on her channel.

I contacted my SA who said she has never seen this light shade of blue agate come into my local boutique before.

Wanted to get everyone's opinion on it and if you have seen this shade before?

I really like it!

Agate definitely looks lighter when the sun shines through it. I actually prefer darker shades so this is a stumbling block for me. I think that photo may also have a soft filter on it though.

No more black packaging from the NYC VCA flagship
I guess it’s the end of an era
A bit nostalgic about that

Im not sure exactly when, but my last purchase which was made near the end of 2020 but I just took delivery of this week, was in white VCA packaging. I assumed that perhaps they were just out of the black NYC boxes - but my SA said that no- there would only be white boxes now.
Perhaps the start of 2021?
I can ask.

Maybe it's just "NO FRILLS" going forward...and it will make sense to make use of existing packaging...

Yes, you may be right. But I have to admit I loved the black NYC packaging. It’s a little thing, I know, but it was part of the mystique of the flagship NYC store. Those special details were impressive and added a pinch of VCA NYC magic.
Sad to see it go.

I understand perfectly well what you mean about the "pinch of VCA NYC magic."

Oh you are talking about the black satiny outer box? The inner jewelry box is still pale green?

I think this difference in packaging, the inner boxes are always green for me:
