And, if I may add my two cents--the 20 also looks terrific doubled . . . so it offers the best of both options.

I am waiting too. I ordered in May as well.Hi, is anyone still waiting for their paid in full pre-order from Neiman’s? I ordered a bracelet at the end of May and still no stock.
I'm looking at pieces today...what are peoples thoughts on the perlee clover pendant? I'm debating between this and the 3 flower frivole. I think I'll get more wear out of the perlee clover, but realistically I would hope to get the three flower at some point. Perlee clover pendant doesn't seem to be very common - is there something I'm over looking?
It would be in RG. I've read a lot about cartier rg fading, but not VCA.

I wondered this myself, I like the look of the pendant, but it doesn’t seem popular. I’d love to hear you’re thoughts if you go try it.
I actually went yesterday and loved it. I don't have a VCA near me, so I had a lost of pieces to try in my head, although I thought I'd get the blue agate 5 motif alhambra.
In the end, I'm deciding between the three flower frivole and the perlee clover. I will say the pendant is a lot more dainty than I thought from the website -I think it's more versatile as an everyday piece.
Beautiful! I love the Caroline as it has that Chanel feel. And I agree about the Chanel prices. I’m glad I acquired what I did a while back. Like you, I’ve been putting my money towards jewelry instead. We all need lots of money trees.Well, I have the boring black!It's for all my platinum and diamond jewelry. I plan to get another in a color for other pieces like VCA. The black just reminds me of Chanel purses (which I think are beautiful but I do not own because I prefer jewelry at that pricepoint!).

I have the Caroline in the large size (yours looks like medium or large?), except mine is the pale pink one. Since you have the black, ooooh.... the ivory would be perfection as a mate. I think it's a new color as I do not recall seeing ivory when I purchased mine. I think your VCA pieces would love snuggling in an ivory box.
I love ivory.... it's so clean and refined looking.I have an ivory one, also basic an neutral
Oooh.. can't wait to see your goodies... we all love to drool here!Hello everyone, how are you guys? I have missed this forum so so much!
I have purposely stayed away from the VCA forum!
I banned myself from here and all luxury for one year! Pandemic hit us hard.
I have a Wishlist and am in the process of deciding what I want to splurge on.
I hope everyone is safe and doing well. I have been doing a lil lurking and have not seen some older posters here.
Since we all love our bling, we must take them with us when we travel so they don't get lonely at home. Which means... travel jewelry cases! 
Here is the one I use... the Maria Cube. I'm a road warrior (well, I used to be pre-COVID), and I have tried a billion jewelry travel cases (hard cases, soft cases, bags, wallet zips), and this one is my favorite. What I love about this one is that it's a big empty case which makes it so versatile, especially if you have chunky pieces.
I put my jewelry pieces in their little travel pouches and just stack them inside. You can also use the detachable storage compartments too, that's also quite nice. I prefer to go with their own pouches as it seems to lay flatter with individual pouches.
Travel cases with cubby holes are cute, but so limiting. Plus, the piece bangs around in the cubby hole, so you either have to wrap tissue around them or put them in a pouch anyway.
I hope this inspires some of you... travel jewelry cases for everyone!

I store all my jewellery in their travel cases, then lock it all up. So it is easy for travel - I just keep in travel cases and put in my handbag so it stays with me. I mostly bring what I will wear most of time. I am not very trusting when it comes to jewellery…
The Perlee clover pendant ia a bit tiny as you said. You know what I always thought would look cool for a bolder look?
I think the ring, but worn the same way as the pendant, would look awesome. Kind of like the way high school girls used to wear their boyfriend's class ring on a chain. Only this ring-on-a-chain would look awesome!
So... this ring, but worn on a chain...

Ah so same vibe, different pendant - bit the overall design is still pretty right?
Incidentally I tried on this yesterday to compare. I was tempted because it's a similar price point, but all pave. I think it's still on the long term list

I have always loved the Cartier Trinity collection, especially for its meaning, but I can't seem to find a piece I really like (I almost once purchased the large all pave ring).
I'm not sure if you're a fan of Trinity, but this necklace is so pretty to me. The chain is in RG though which I'm sure they can switch out the chain to WG (or they can just sell you a WG chain), but the bail is also in RG, and I'm not sure how great that will look in real life. But... on the other hand, a WG chain may actually make it pop more and look okay as the whole point of Trinity is Tri-Color, the contrast of colors, so the WG chain may actually bring out the WG pave.
Anyway, I just wanted to share as you keep thinking of what piece you want to get...
I just love Trinity, it's also a softer look than Love which has harsh edges, vs. Trinity is all rounded edges.
