Congratulations on your 20th! I think a twenty motif is the perfect anniversary gift. One clover for each year. The symbolism can't be beat! Wear it in good health and happiness.Had no idea there was a VCA thread on TPF. Some really beautiful collections pictured here.
I'd been coveting a Vintage Alhambra 20 motif MOP for years, so last fall while in New York, I took my husband into VCA showed it to him, and said, "This is what I would like for our 20th anniversary next year." He dutifully took the SA's card and info (but lost the card in the interim!) This came Friday. Pre-owned, but I don't love it any less. And now, of course, I want more

Please post pics when you receive it. We are all excited along with you.Just ordered the holiday necklace from Neimans! Yeah! Overnight shipping!! I cannot wait. My first VCA piece. Thank you ladies for all the help. And amazing pix.Now to lust after a 10 motif...
Ok, that is the best 10 motif collection I have ever seen!!!
lucky girl. Thank you for sharing grey MOP. I think many here would kill for that piece. Lol.Hi everybody - I'm usually a lurker but immensely enjoy the discussions, support, and excitement over seeing everyone's pieces. I've been meaning to post a special little piece I just received and share the story behind it.
Many years ago, my husband bought me byzantine earrings in NYC as a spontaneous gift when we were walking past the store. I adored the earrings because they coordinated with a 10 motif onyx and 10 motif MOP necklace I had without being too matchy matchy. I also have a magic MOP ring and a byzantine necklace and I always saw the earrings as an essential part of my VCA "set". So we went on vacation to Italy one year and I took them off at night and put them on the nightstand next to me. The next morning,we set off for the day sightseeing and I forgot to put them back on. When we got back, they were gone. We were in a rental house and my friends and I turned the place upside down looking for these earrings. The owners said that nobody had been in the house that day but of course there were many people that had the key so I'll never know. When we got back to The states, I checked with every single VCA store and of course, the earrings had already been discontinued and nobody had any in inventory. So I was unable to replace them and always felt there was something missing whenever I would look in my jewelry drawer. I constantly looked for them on all the reseller sites, but they never popped up. Luckily, I had set it up as a search on evilbay and three years later, they showed up!! I showed them to my husband and he said you must buy those right away! We had just bought a new house and I was not feeling particularly flush but my hubby would not hear anything about that and said he insisted we purchase them. They were in mint condition and are now back in my drawer. They are not my original pair which have a lot of sentimental value, but they are identical to the ones I had and I am a happy girl again.

OMG thank you. They just charged me for the holiday necklace. I am going to try to have them refund and recharge on the 14th. I hope NM can do that for me!
Chanel BTW is triple points!!
I was told a few months ago that VCA no longer counts toward bonus point offers at NM. If they do it, please let me know so I can plan accordingly next time.
He said VCA no longer doing double points at Neiman's. My necklace is still on it's way to me though!!

I think this pendant is close to being sold out.
Both my favorite VCA and even NM has sold all their pendants.
Did you order yours sight unseen? They are all different but all beautiful.

My SA is the manager of the largest VCA inside a NM, he texted me today to specifically tell me about the double points day on the 14th. He and I had discussed Incircle points not long ago and he said there were no double or triple points with VCA. That is what leads me to believe he had new info on the double points day or he would not have texted me. I will def speak with him tomorrow and confirm.
I def do not want to be spreading misinformation!!
