Thanks for your detailed reply. The 10 hammered is a great choice as well. You have raised another important issue that I didn’t consider. The colour of rose gold is more subtle and blends into my skin tone as well. Hmm…….I’ll need to think carefully about this one. If I don’t get the sweet 16 RG, I can get the YG 10 hammered which goes with my YG Vintage Pave Earrings.

If you have yg vintage pave earrings I would for sure get 10 yg hammered. It will be a gorgeous pairing. You can for sure wear them casually and they will be easy carefree pieces.
Thank you all for your help! Stuck with the chalcedony and it arrived today. I really love all the character this stone has.
I've done the same with my Vendome SAI'm based in the US, and visiting Paris in a couple months. I'm working with a Paris-vendome SA who allows me to put a 30% deposit on items I would like to purchase, however the deposit needs to be a bank/wire transfer. Can anyone else verify this is legit?thank you!
So glad you decided to stick with chalcedony! I've looked everywhere but no other brand have chalcedony that look like the one used by VCA in terms of coloration and depth, they're definitely unique and fun to stare at!
Hello, any suggestions on where I can buy preloved VCA with confidence? I am based in the UK. Thank you!
Has anyone seen the stock at Manhasset lately? I'm trying to decide which pieces should be on my wishlist but it's so hard without trying them on first.

If I could please gain some wisdom/advice from everyone: I have to get some of the links removed. My wrist measures to be about 13.5 (LOVE: size 16, JUC: size 15). I’m planning to layer my five motif with the LOVE and/or JUC from time to time. How short did you/should I shorten my bracelet? Thank you so muchies 
I absolutely love the sweet size. I was looking for preloved sweet 6 motif bracelets. So versatile
I absolutely love my sweet 16. I only wear it doubled so I am looking into a 10 motif for my next piece. I definitely think that photos do not do the sweet 16 justice. in person it is a very stunning piece that you must try on.
I have both the 10 and 20 motif. I wear the 10 a lot, especially with V-neck necklines, where it lies on the skin, and had mine extended about 2 inches, because I don’t like chokers. I agree it would be competing with a close round neckline.
Take out 6 links if you want less movement and 4 if more. Watch out for tangling when stacked with JUC. And scratches only if you care.View attachment 5704511Finally joined the VCA world!
Thanks for your reply. May I know if the front and back of the motif look the same please? The pictures online are not very clear. I’m hoping that they are the same so that it looks good even when the motifs flip around when worn.

For RG hammered it is the same, for WG diamond it has diamonds on one side and honeycomb on the other side (however, looks the same when worn even when flipped).
