Thanks, great idea! I will do that once I get my other pieces back (see the 2020 Holiday Pendant thread from yesterday for that ordeal!)

Magic Pave - Necklace vs Earrings
If you could only have 1 ... What would you choose ?!
Magic Pave - Necklace vs Earrings

Necklace six motif pave— actually full pave is too blingy for me if there were a GMOP pave six motif mix , even better. . .
@Big akoya, dreamt about you and your lotus set the other night.
Have you thought about Verdura stardust ear cuffs and ear clips. They are in plain Diamond and also in a combo with diamonds and moonstones. . . I know you are a matchy person, but since you are pairing the lotus ring with your pearls, I didn’t think other diamonds or even moonstones was too far to stretch. . . Not sure the Verdura stuff has as much hanger appeal as VCA, but when you try stuff on, it can be amazing. . .

Long necklace! I feel like I’d get more wear out of it casually this way. With earrings it’s much more flashy since it’s at eye level.
It’s normal. It is supposed to be there.
It is normal, theres some writing in it. Not sure what. But yes, it is normal.
The long wg pave pendant for me. I have the vintage pave earrings I could wear with it! I can wear Vintage pave earrings more often than I could wear the Magic.
You're so funny! I am honored to participate in your dreams.Necklace six motif pave (or if there were a GMOP pave, even better)

Thanks for the tip, I had not thought of the Stardust ear clips. The plain diamond ones look nice. I plan to visit the city again in a month or so, and I am going to put that on my list. It's really great all the stores are located on one corner (VCA, BG, Verdura, Mikimoto, Tiffany). I'm going to make appointments to make sure they have the pieces while I am there. I don't recall seeing the Stardust ear clips at the case in BG, but to be fair, I was not looking for them either.
Thanks so much!
P.S. If you are thinking of getting the Lotus Ring too, at least you know of all the options for earrings!
I have the carnelian pair. If you have blonde hair, these would show up more. I have black hair, as much as I love the carnelian, it disappears into my dark hair. Tigers eye is a good stone to purchase now, VCA is changing the tiger’s eye on the lucky animals into mahogany obsidian, a coloured glass, probably due to supply issues.Hi,
I tried MOP 2 motif recently and I returned it since it didn’t work out for me. I don’t know if it was the color or style itself. I wanted to try the other 2 motif options before I make a decision on this style. Grey MOP/pave 2 motif is not an option since I don’t grey MOP on my tan skintone. My SA is shipping me these two options. Does anybody have these? What do you think is a better choice between the two? Thanks

good luck with your choice.
I have purchased VCA pieces from Birks. I took my pendant to have the length adjusted in VCA boutique later on, VCA boutique didn’t ask any question, they checked the serial number and saw it in their system i guess, otherwise why would they do it for me. Another thing is a VCA pieces purchased from Birks also have the 30day no charge adjustment service from VCA boutique worldwide. I have in the past took my Birks VCA pieces to US boutique, and they would service it for me.Guilloche bracelet!!
im going on Sat to Birks here in Vancouver to try it out. Well the SA I had first spoken to called me and when I said what I was looking for she said they didnt have it but then called me back and said they have the one that has diamonds so I could try for the look of it and to also see the other pieces that I’m interested in
wonder what the difference is between buying from vancleef directly as opposed to buying it from another high end jeweller...??
Sad to hear TE is being replaced. I have dark brown/black hair and I have tan skintone. My SA is sending me carnelian/TE pair next week. Curious to see how it works on me..
Let me know how you like it once you try them! These are the ones I fell in love with on my first ever VCA boutique visit. I thought they work on my skin like lipstick when I don’t wear makeup. But after I finally bought them, I didn’t like them for sometime because they disappear into my hair. I like big statement jewelry, they were too low key for me. Then DH and I moved to a non metropolitan area, and my diamond pieces make me nervous when I go out by myself, these became the ones I wore most! They are demure enough that they don’t attract unnecessary attention, and suitable for wearing to supermarkets without being overdressed.
Does anybody know whether the online boutique shares inventory with standalone boutiques (will transfer item from standalone boutique if they don’t have the item you want in stock)?
