Our very lovely Einseine has the 20 motif and has posted photos here.
Have you tried a search?
It's on the VCA website. I tried it on yesterday...it's a no go for me. Despite all of the wonderful advice here, it's pretty unanimous at the boutique...I must get the carnelian. I have two SAs who will not let me get anything else for my first 10 motif!
Great choice. I think the malachite is the most striking of the three for the ring. I have a feeling you won't regret your decision at all!
I kept being drawn to malachite. I think maybe it's resemblence in color to the emerald was a factor. I'm sure I will love it!

guess not......
Nice and helpful pics, now we all know the byzantyne is the same size as vintage. I think I like the look of byzantyne bracelet more than the vintage as it does look simple and "lighter". Thank you stylemechanel for taking these pics
Thanks. I will search under her name. I have gone through hundreds of pages of archived posts with no luck so far, although it's fun to see pix of everyone's goodies !
It's possible that you may have seen it but thought it was yg. They are very similar.
PM her...
I would love one that is more pink/taupe. I am located in Europe, but unfortunately there's no VCA boutique anywhere close to me so that I could try it on to see if the size suits me. I could order online, but then it's a gamble what I will receive and if it will suit me. Or I could consider a trip to Paris early Decembre, but I think the holiday pendants are all sold out by then.

I love this, great stack

The malachite is so strikingly beautiful. Congratulations PennyD!!! I hope you will share modeling pictures when it arrives and let us know how you dress it up or down. What color clothing will you wear with it?
Oh and as enabler in chief ---yeah yeah yeah!!!!!!!
Less orange...more like rouge H, just a warm, dark red. Something I notice about the carnelian is the shiny reflective quality of the surface, which I don't see as much of on the other stones. It's very striking and pretty, and makes it easier to dress up.
Yes, I thought I could "get away" with pg and then I tried both, there's just no way around it. Can't wait to finally get it!
Now my next purchase will probably be a YG Frivole...just not sure about the size. I tried the small (WG) for size, it did seem kind of small, although the SA said it was a good size on me. For the relatively minor price difference, I have to figure out which size I'll get more use out of. I'm also looking at the Effeuilage. Does anyone here have that?
The shade of red that you are referring to is very beautiful. Mine are "fruity" red until worn and then look more blood red. (I love that you are describing in terms of Hermes. Ever look at pavement and think "etoupe"? That's when you know you are truly addicted.)
One of my strands is a teeny bit more translucent than the other one. Connected, you can't tell a difference.
In addition to the reflective quality, this translucent character of carnelian adds to the charm, IMO.
