Wanted to post this here for archive purposes but for those who follow Steph Shojaee on IG, did y’all see this today?! Look at this STUNNING SO she had made?! I don’t even know what stone this would be, does anyone have a clue?? I do not like pink but wow it is just gorgeous.

Omg this necklace is crazy pretty!! Is she layering an alternating 10 motif with the solid 20 motif? The hot pink color is so saturated and the color looks quite even so it makes me think it’s likely porcelain? It seems a different shade than the limited edition raspberry pink porcelain one I think.

It could very well be the raspberry pink porcelain but I don’t remember the exact shade of older photos I’ve seen of it. I think VCA stone experts @nicole0612 @Ylesiya might know?

I think it is the LE raspberry pink porcelain (with a filter), I can make this stone look this shade also if using a filter. I think it is most likely the 20 motif LE and a 10 motif alternating pave SO. I think @purseinsanity has this gorgeous 20 motif as well if remember correctly.

I also think it's the raspberry pink under some heavy editing. I really doubt VCA would produce some extra shade of porcelain just for this necklace - one has to somehow place an order as a start at least!
Looks like it's 10 motif pave and 20 motif long necklace. Looks too busy to my taste when wrapped together.
However, it's one piece of some extraordinary SO to be approved.

Oh, I wish! I will edit my post to be more clear. I meant that I have the raspberry pink stone and can make it look this color with a filter, but it is just the magic pendant and not the 20 motif (only in my dreams)!

Oh but still!! It’s such a beautiful vibrant color and even in the magic pendant it’s so gorgeous! Please post mod shots for us if you are willing, I bet it catches eyes wherever you wear it!

You are always so generous and kind. I should take a filtered photo vs real life ;)

Mod shot please! I'm not even a pink person, and I love this pink.
I vote for real life, no filters.

Like you, I don't use filters either.
My theory is people will see me at my worst in photos. Then they can say "oh, you look way better than the photo." :biggrin: :heart:

Paging @BigAkoya I know you love to advise!

With the new hair color (and IDK, maybe my mood), I feel like I can do WG again and want to plan to add some pieces to my list.

Bear in mind my Love bracelet is the (since discontinued) two-piece which is both PG and WG AND I plan to add the Noeud ring, which is also both PG and WG.

As you know, I’m a sparkly girl and want it to be pave.

I personally would do WG Magic Pave but my SA thinks it’s redundant because I have the YG Pave Magic Earrings and Pendant. (TBH if money/time were not an issue I would get rid of my YG pieces, order the Magic Pave Pendant in PG, and then either order PG Pave Magic Earrings and get WG Pave 3 motif or order PG Pave 3 motif and get WG Magic Pave)

I proceeded to try on other WG Pave earrings but didn’t really love them. Cosmos sit too low (they were ok). I don’t like Socrate, Fleurette or Lotus. I tried the new Perlee but they’re not substantial enough for me. I have small Frivole and I don’t need another pair in that collection. I happen to like the way Alhambras look on my ears, because they tend to hide the fact that my piercings are uneven and the Magic size don’t “disappear“ on me.

My SA suggested the Two Butterfly. They didn’t have in person but she thinks the WG Pave/PG Pink Sapphire pair would be perfect (and I could get a second wg pave earring). I held a ring up to my ear and it looked ok, but I think they will be too small, so I definitely need to see in person.

Am I forgetting any other WG earrings? Im not against adding pieces from other lines, but I happen to like the Magic Alhambra pieces very much (I also like Palmyre, but at that price it would have to wait until after a possible Liane….so, not for many years). I do like mix-and-match options. I have gone back and forth over the years about the Two Butterfly collection as to whether it’s for me. And I would love your opinion - and anyone else’s too!!!

Not sure if you have tried these Snowflake earrings, they are on my list! Not too heavy either.
