They're all beautiful, but I like the white mother-of-pearl and the guilloche best on you.
Hi!
Thank you. I purchased the onyx bracelet and matching 10 motifs.
The mop was indeed beautiful. Congrats
Am in Milan right now and the VCA here has a VCA exhibition of historic and vintage VCA in the basement which was amazing to see. I saw a lot of things including the precursor to the Liane necklace. I also tried on a YG white agate and amethyst Liane necklace (122 EURO (i think about 144 usd); with VAT and VCA assistance it would be about 100euro. I personally liked the scale of the store better than fifth avenue. Very very friendly staff and the visit itself was a lot of fun. (Unlike hermes where i was really treated like a tourist; since we haven’t travelled for so long, being a tourist in Hermes was really odd lol). Will post pics later. OT, but Enrico Bertolini restaurant in Milan was the best meal weve eaten in many years. Far better than recent meals at Per Se, Daniel Boulud Pavillion, etc. in NY.
@VCALoverNY, I took the pics on DHs international phone, so will post them as soon as I figure out how to save into my photo album. I sadly only took a few of the precursor to the Liane, bc I forgot to take more but there were realistic animals, ludo pieces, even a jeweled ludo ring, some pieces rhan transformed from watches into a pendant and brooches, a minaudiar yg diamond clasp bag, heritage zip and current zip pieces, the first Romeo and Juliet pieces, and many more.

Just excited for you that you are on vacation in Europe
Can’t wait to see, @HADASSA ! In the meantime, have a wonderful time on your trip! Stay safe.
Thank you so much @HADASSA and @VCALoverNY! Everyone is so nice here bc its Italy and also bc they’re starved for tourists just like NY. DH has tried to email me the VCA pics from his travel phone (an android phone) to my iPad. Somehow it’s not working, so when I’m home in October, I could try taking a pic of the photos. . . .(my iPhone is in the safe and I promised him not to open it bc every time I’ve done so when traveling ATT has charged a fortune) Also, I didn’t mean to imply that Hermes was not nice; they were very polite, but of course, I’m a walk in tourist and not in my home store. But at VCA, Dior, Brunello, and others, it’s much warmer. DH commented that is the difference between designer jewelry and Hermes lol.Just excited for you that you are on vacation in Europe
No, only the magic, unless someone made a SO for the vintage size, which seems unlikely.Has the Vintage Alhambra onyx pendant ever been sold in white gold?
Or has it been sold and they are just out of stock for now?
thank you
