OK could you ladies help me before I have a panic attack. I sent my Holiday Pendant in to have 2" added to it with a jump ring at 1" so I can wear shorter. I am assuming that means they will extend a TOTAL of 2", not 2" on each side for a total of 4"? And each strand will be 1" longer and the jump ring at 1/2"? Since the pendant is fixed and cannot slide around, I am guessing each strand will come back the exact same length?

Thanks!!


VCA will only extend 2 inches max. And don't worry both sides of the chain will be equal. I had mine lengthened to 18" and it's perfect

It'll be perfect, don't worry!
 
It's here!!

It's dark here right now and the gorgeous pink and green flashes are so hard to capture! It's constantly flashing and changing colour which my camera will not focus on 😄
My SA was so sweet and included a birthday card for me!

I feel so lucky and honoured to have this LE necklace. I can't believe it's mine!

Happy birthday!! Yay on your pendant!!
Don't you just love it?!!!
 
Thanks ladies! I feel better. LOL. I figured VCA would not ruin my necklace... But the SA made it a wee bit more confusing than this.

OK so I need to try to find another Holiday Pendant really badly for a good friend. Is ANYONE has an insight about finding one, PLEASE PM me! She would be so appreciative...

Thank you!

I just love it so much!!! It's my dream combination the lustre of MOP and the neutral ever changing colour, sparkle of the diamond. Sigh!

And thanks! My birthday was actually early September but my SA included the card as a belated congrats 😊

Hope you're loving yours as well!

I really do love mine. :smile1:
This is something I have wished for forever and I half hope that they never release a 20 motif in this combo because I have no business buying another one. I think that the initial lack of enthusiasm was due to the fact that it doesn't photo well. Since collecting the pendants really isn't my thing I nearly passed but once I saw it I realized that if ever there was one LE pendant I needed to have it was THIS one. It is subtle and sophisticated and literally goes with everything. LOVE IT. I'm curious what to engrave on the back. Has anybody done this before and does it take long? How many letters can they do?
 
Happy birthday!!
Great gifts.
Does your holiday pendant look orange/ pink iIRL?

Thank you sweetie!!! No, my pendant looks more green/pink in real life. I think the golden/orangey hue happens sometimes depending on the light hitting it at certain angles, it's hard to explain lol. This pendant is very unique, it really changes colors depending on the surroundings which makes it very difficult to photograph. I love it, hope you're enjoying yours!!!

I agree. I hesitated originally due to the photos I saw but so glad I bought it! Sprinkles is right it's constantly changing colour! I was going to have my initials engraved on the back, my SA said they would do two initials free of charge. I'm not sure how many letters is possible... I wad also told it would take 1-2 weeks.
 
Hello Ladies, I haven't been here in a while... it's nice to be back...
Questions, and I am sure this has been discussed in the past, but what is the estimated cost of replacing an earrings at VCA? I am assuming it is not 50% of the current retail price, is it more like 80%?
 
sbelle, you know you're killing me with this photo!! I "happened" to be perusing/ogling the UK vca website today and noticed they are no longer including pictures of the modern alhambra in WG with grey MOP, so that really is it, isn't it? Boohoo! Also noticed that they've renamed the modern alhambra line as pure alhambra.


There has been so much talk of grey mop recently that I wanted to share my necklaces. These are two Modern Alhambra 9 motifs hooked together. The nice thing with this design is that the clasps are hidden, so there is no clue that this isn't one necklace.




Sadly, they no longer make the grey mop in this line.

Not sure but it would be interesting to know since there are a few singles listed on a certain auction site.
