Can I ask ladies with the Perlee signature bracelet, do you take it off daily say for gym workout ? Will it loosen the clasp overtime ?

I wore mine daily for years, but I did not keep it on during workouts. I put it on before I left the house and took it off when I returned. Over time, the clasp needed repair. VCA took care of it--I don't remember if there was a charge or not.
But keep your paperwork, just in case. They won't perform any repairs unless they can confirm proof of purchase. If you purchased the piece from a different store they should have the serial number in their system--even so, they may still demand paperwork. However, you'll certainly need it if you purchased from an outside vendor such as Neiman's.
It's funny you mentioned the center, the "dot." I have thoughts on dots to share some.
One of the things I do not like about the VA pave earrings is the metal "dot" in the center. The idea is a pave look, so why couldn't VCA just put in a tiny diamond to create a pure pave look, similar to the Magic size? I would love those earrings if it were a VA version for the Magic, but now, I only like them (e.g. like, love, hate).
As someone who has now lived with an SO pair of YG Pave Magic Earrings without the dot for a few years now, my opinion on this issue has changed. While I love my special earrings, sometimes I wish that they included this design point. I think there is a visual reason why they have the dot on the metal and the pave pieces; it’s not just about the pave. But I’m happy with these.
The thing I *really* don’t understand is why the Magic Pave earrings in YG are actually smaller than the Magic Pave in WG.
I may one day cave on VA WG pave earrings as I cannot seem to find a buddy for my WG Clover. There is nothing in the Perlee collection for me that I can make a set. Zippo. I don't wear short pendants, don't stack bangles, don't wear band rings, and don't wear hoop earrings. That pretty much wipes out Perlee for me.
I love the band ring, I think it's gorgeous, but band rings are not me, so sadly, no matching ring.I may get the VA WG pave earrings as that seems to be the closest match to have set (like my Lotus earrings
). I'm not even an earring person truth be told. The dot is so annoying, but I still do "like" those earrings. It's odd how the YG and WG Magic are different sizes. I wonder which earring is the same size as your Magic pendant, or maybe the pendant is yet another size.

Finally, I understanding they are phasing out the Magic collection so perhaps now would be a good time to order as opposed to never.
If I get the earrings, I would be getting them to match the Clover bangle, so the dot is preferred to match.
I am surprised VCA is phasing it out Magic. It must not sell very well. For me, Magic is a bit logo-y, so I am good as I don't want anything Magic. There was one Magic I considered which was the Magic pave BTF ring, but again, a bit too logo-y for my preference.
Are you getting anything? I think you probably have everything Magic already!
Do you mean all Magic??? I did hear they aren’t making the yg Magic pave earrings any longer (which I think is insane!), but I can’t imagine phasing it all out! Very curious about what you were told!
I love the dot in the clover. That’s as iconic VCA as you can get! I love my wg pave VA earrings!

No, I have very little in the Magic and unless something surprising comes along, I don't plan on adding more. One of the earliest pieces I bought was the YG Magic Pave alhambra earrings. That was a wonderful addition as it pairs with most of my Alhambra.
I've never thought of the Alhambra as logo-y, just recognizable. I love that the earrings are the same pattern, but different in that they're larger. Perhaps I would feel differently if I wore more pieces-but the most I wear together are necklace(s) and earrings. That's it.
Hope you get the earrings. I can't believe you've held out this long. They'll match all your Alhambra, they're lovely and so easy to wear that you'll wonder why you waited so long. And it makes a set . . . A total no-brainer when you get dressed.
Here are some threads to look through:
Please show me your VCA Alhambra 5 motive stacking?
can you please show me your VCA bracelet stacking? I was wondering to see how three or four diffrent VCA Alhambra will look together on the wrist? TIA !!:smile1:

I found a pair of YG pave magic alhambra earrings on ann's fabulous finds and I grabbed them! They are on layaway and I have my final payment coming up soon. So excited! I love the WG pave magic alhambra earrings so I'm hoping I will love these as well.
Received my perlee signature bracelet (just took 3 biz days, delivered in a giganormous green box) ! The bracelet so beautifully well made and yes, so right about sizing making the world of difference ! XS size is perfect .
Need an opinion…especially for the WG VCA women here.
I want to get my mom a pave WG pendant. In particular, I think she would like one of the floral collections. I don’t see her wearing this everyday and I think she would use it more for special occasions. What do you guys think about the 3-flower Socrates, small frivole, single small lotus or three lotus pendants?
Does anyone have the Socrates one and can share if the clip is hard to manage?

That is so kind of you! I'm sure your mom will love any of those options! I vote for the small pave frivole. It's absolutely gorgeous and has a lot of presence.
I would choose the small frivole or the lotus. I actually quite like the lotus, but it's not to everyone's taste. Most people would choose the frivole. The Socrate may be too whimsical and I would prefer the frivole or lotus for dressier events.
