I'd like to buy my first five motif in the spring (april-ish). Always thought it be the onyx. I have onyx earrings and black is for sure my color. But I am finding myself drawn to the guilloche. I dont own any bracelets that I wear regularly (I do wear a leather strap and would want this to be a regular item when I feel to wear one. I'd like to say I'd own both one day but not anytime soon. Once I get one of these I will save my next batch of pennies for another item type.

If you had to pick/own both, any thoughts? THANK YOU!

I prefer the onyx over guilloche. I’m not really a fan if guilloche though, so that really comes down to preference.

I’ve read on the boards that guilloche doesn’t wear as well and is prone to scratches, which is something to be aware of in making your decision.

I have some VCA onyx pieces and love them, so I’m clearly biased here! :heart:

I would really appreciate your insight on this as it was my first VCA purchase and I am a little worried now. Especially since I just bought another necklace from the same seller (with a 100% feedback score). I am aware that there are rules re authentication and you guys have given me a massive hint and raised a red flag. Without saying too much - should I be concerned?

just wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you to you guys here. It is very suspicious and I bought a holiday pendant from the same seller. I am currently still protected as I paid via PayPal (literally just in time). As soon as I have my refund I will head off to the proper VCA boutique. Honestly - I almost paid as much for these items as I would have done in the VCA boutique. Thanks again. I REALLY appreciate it!

When I click on this link below and then click on product details it says this:

Clasp:
stud system, large model in yellow gold

Is this size used for all sweet onyx earrings? Or are their options to pick?
What size do most people buy?

You are correct, they at La Pousette. However, if a person does not like La Pousettes, they can be swapped out for regular push backs. My SA recently told me VCA is also allowing clients to swap out their VA clip backs with regular posts, so I thought that was interesting. The VA size is big enough though, I worry they may flop, especially for folks with low ear piercings.
