A few years ago I bought my first 10 motif ( white mop) for my wedding. At the time, I expressed interest in grey mop with yg and was told that I could have it as a special order ( at a premium of course!). I went ahead and ordered it and thought I'd share what it looks like for those interested.
My third 10 motif was a gift, letterwood with pg. here they are!View attachment 2771508View attachment 2771509

Are you saying you need an SA located in Paris?

Yes, if someone has an email address from a nice SA at VCA in Paris, that would be great.
If I decide to get it, I can email and ask if the SA can send me a pic of the holiday pendants that are still available (if they are still available that is) and then I could pick one, because I would like a pendants that has more taupe/pink undertones instead of green undertones ;).

I tried on this bracelet a couple of weeks ago and love it. It's next on my list. Too bad the earring is discontinued. I wonder why they did that? Because to me the earrings are gorgeous and practical.

Second this. Further, the Lotus ring while stunning is not in my opinion a place to put a ton of money. Its more of a (very pricey) fashion piece.

I have to agree...but also, for whatever reason, Lotus is not my taste.
Now, if you were looking at one of the Folies des Pres rings, I would have a different answer - and they can be worn during the day...

Ok VCA peeps, I have a question for you… please answer honestly.

This will come as no surprise to anyone, but I am a little obsessed with VCA - I love so many things they make. That said, I really do not need any more jewelry, but…
my DH would like to get me a new ring. Many years ago, my engagement ring was stolen. At that time we were in the midst of building our house and we decided that we could better use the insurance money towards our house costs and always get a new ring down the road. That was many years ago, and somehow we've never gotten around to it.

Since then, I've amassed some beautiful things I love: alhambra necklaces in several different colors as well as VCA earrings (pave frivole, YG frivole, pave alhambra, fleurettes and sweets). I have the socrate BTF ring as well. I wear all of these things and love them all. I do have jewelry from some other houses but really what I love and wear most for the past 5-10 years is from VCA.

Here's where we come to the question - DH has asked, for my next purchase, would I like to get a traditional engagement ring to replace the stolen one (probably a round brilliant H&A solitaire in a good size, 2 - 3 carats) OR would I prefer to get a Lotus ring?

What would you all do? There's no doubt that I'd get more "use" out of an engagement ring, but the fact of the matter is that I am pretty casual most of the time. It has been so many years since I've worn an engagement ring, I'm not sure if I would want to wear one as an everyday thing or not. I'd probably wear it a few days a week though - I think.

Now for the alternative - the Lotus ring. I think it is simply stunning. BUT while I think the Lotus ring is a knockout, I would definitely not wear it during the day - I wouldn't feel comfortable doing that and it wouldn't be appropriate to my lifestyle. Instead I would likely wear it on Saturday nights, going out to parties, etc etc.

What would you all choose? Thanks in advance for your replies!!!

the traditional diamond ring for sure, the lotus while a masterpiece will not get 1/8th the wear a traditional 2-3 carat diamond ring will!
