Thank you Cateyes! I love your avatar by the way. I am still fence sitting and leaning heavily on no. Actually I think there will be much better options for me. I don't know why for the life of my I cannot just get up and walk away completely......hummmmm...maybe because it is beautiful.:graucho: I just wish it would sell out already so I have no more issues and can concentrate on the right piece for me.

Thanks stylemechanel! I love this cat picture too. I'm actually a dog lover (but like cats too) but because of my eye color and the way I do my eye makeup sometimes, my co-workers used to call me that:)


Don't feel bad about second thoughts. I often have them about many things I buy too. Maybe it's because the things I covet and try to buy aren't cheap by any means and I sometimes wonder if I will get enough use out of it, will I still wear when I'm 60, do I go out enough to have a fancy item or should I get a more practical item.... It's normal! I hope you keep it personally because it looks really nice on you and in my humble opinion, is an everyday piece. The piece I am coveting (malachite 10 motif) seems not to be an everyday piece but I love it. I wonder to myself if I shouldn't get a more everyday piece but the heart wants what it wants!!

Hi Hadassa. Thank you so much for the link! I see many Sweets that are beautiful and will look forward to seeing them in person next week. I have seen the Sweets bracelets but hadn't seen any of the necklaces in person. Come to think of it neither Vegas or Beverly Hills had any on display. Oh, so many fun things to think about! Thank you again.



Hi PennyD, I sent you a PM as I thought I might be taking this thread a little off topic and didn't want to get dinged my the mods. Let me know if you need any other info. :smile1:

Eeeeks! I'm so excited I just confirmed the purchase of my holiday pendant! I sent it out for sizing right away. It should be back in two weeks. I literally put down the phone after ordering and did a happy dance lol! This is my dream combination. I have always wanted a single motif VCA necklace but could not decide on MOP (wanted the luster) or onyx (too flat) and loved the diamond of the holiday pendants. Grey is my favourite colour and my wardrobe consists on black, grey, navy with jewel tone accents so I think this will be my best option I could ever hope for 😊.


Ps Naples FL is now sold out of the holiday pendants!

Thank you Hadassa. I will be going back to my local boutique early next week to pick up my bracelet. I never thought about trying a Sweet, are the chains longer? Maybe the Magic necklace - I think those are bigger and have longer chains. I completely understand what you are saying about not being matchy matchy. I still remember my mother and grandmothers all wanting "sets" of things - the earrings and necklaces that they purchased together. I can still see it in my head so thank you for reminding me, and warning me not to fall down that path - it would be easy for me to do. Even now my inclination is to look at the onyx vintage alhambra necklaces (to go with the earrings). Somebody just slap me. :noggin:

I think you and I are going to fall for that 10 motif onyx one day. :graucho:

FWIW - I ❤️Love❤️ my Magic MOP pendant. I had it lengthened to 20" so I could layer a shorter pendant with it. I think it would be gorgeous with your DBTY if you had the Magic lengthened to maybe 20". I was thinking about that version of the Magic since it is in WG.
The other two Magic pendants in Malachite and Bois d'Amorette have longer chains and are also beautiful! Ahhhhh, I want it ALL!!:cool:

Candice, congrats on your new holiday pendant. It seems to be just "fit" in your wardrobe. Please post modelling pics once you get it. I still remember you have an impressive stacking with the sweet bracelet, cannot wait to see what would you wear with the holiday pendant :-)

We must have the same tastes! I love those earrings.
Sadly my earlobes are waaay too thin for them (of all things, why are my ears skinny?)
and it's not from wearing heavy earrings or even earrings at all since I didn't have them pierced until rather recently.
If you can please post a photo of them in your ears.
Enjoy them.

My sa gave me a product called Lobe Wonder.
It allows me to wear the large frivole earrings. They sit perfectly now!!
My ear lobes are really thin as well.....

Congratulations Hapertoo! It sounds like a perfect moving gift. Will you share a modeling picture?

I'm having trouble posting pics....once I figure out the issue I'll attempt some modeling pics.
I have to say for such little motifs, they have great detail!
Somehow the contrast between gold & onyx enhances the design....although I love my MOP version too - they sort of blend into my skin & hair.

Thank you. You meant this one, only it's all YG, correct?

I am sorry, I must have misunderstood. I was referring to the white MOP in clover and butterfly in YG.

I don't think the sweet is offered in ALL YG :(

I see. No worries at all. Thanks for answering all my questions related to VCA.

It seems like VCA puts all its available pieces online, only that some are not for purchasing online.

I am plotting my first VCA. It has been a while and I feel I am all over the place. First Perlee bracelet, then the Onyx 10 motif, and now a all gold pendant. I don't have a lot of dressy days and I am in my mid-20s, petite frame. I felt I'd get more wear out of a more understated piece, like the pendant. Agh, it's hard to decide on all these amazing pieces though. I just wish I have unlimited money tree :p

I think the MOP YG Sweet pendant would look great and be very versatile. 😊
