Pink opal!! Wow, even better! These are stunning on you - but then again, what isn't?? You wear everything so well. :girlsigh:

You have to absolutely LOVE those though - they are so gorgeous against your dark hair.

I did pick up the Coral thanks to yours and other lovelies' opinions here - thank goodness for this group! I just have been a tad busy and not posting nor reading as much as I'd like to... but here are a couple pics I snapped just now!

Ok, I'm going to close my lap top after this! You can tell I'm working backwards on this thread. First Nicole and now you! J, I'm glad you got this! It's especially perfect for your sunny days. Beautiful and I love it. I love these special stones and materials ....I hope VCA introduces a new stone to explore soon...

TPF needs to add a head explosion emoji because I'd be using it right here! Stop! Oh can they please bring opal back!?! I dont think these would ever come off my ears. Nicole they are perfect: the nicest shade of pink.

I do! I can vividly remember her. She had a crisp white button down tucked into a beautiful, structured maxi skirt and wore the necklace full length. I think long or doubled.. you can't go wrong. I envision it many ways, but I love the idea of a spaghetti tank of some type and then the necklace doubled, and yes - definitely with MOP earrings or even malachite... I think what is cool about the neklace is the variation of stones; you could legit "match" with so many different items! Malachite, TE, carnelian, MOP... :girlsigh:

Ooh thank you dear for that feedback. Yesss I do love the fact that it can be worn with so many stones. Also, I love the fact that it doesn’t scream VCA right away.
I wish there was a member with the 12 motifs lucky alhambra so to visualize it with different outfits. I have this bad habit of needing to visualize things before buying them.

@jenayb Did your coral come in yet? Thinking of you because I promised to post a photo of my earrings when they came back from the workshop from having the posts added. In a very unsurprising development (if you know me), I remembered in the interim that the earrings I purchased were actually pink Opal (I was thinking they were light pink coral for a minute for some reason), but I love them and wanted to post the promised photo now that they are back, as promised.

Hi all, I just got my 5 motif MOP bracelet resized (out of warranty) to 16.5cm but they only took 5 links out. Is this correct? I find it to be still loose on me. Would I have to pay again to resize? Thank you for the info!

I could use a bit of advice… Chanel jacket or Frivole pendant??? I’m treating myself, but can only choose one. Sigh…
Chanel jacket: love this piece more than anything I’ve seen from Chanel in a while. Love a good masculine/ feminine look. Cons… I’ve got some more baby weight to lose before it’s comfortable for me to wear and not feel self conscious.
Frivole: would be my first VCA necklace. I have a pave 5 motif VA bracelet and matching earrings. Love the idea of a similar, but different pendant. Would be worn daily.

Would love your thoughts on if you would choose the Frivole and why? Or if I should just keep the jacket and know I’ll be back to my usual size soon enough :angel:

EB, this is stunning!! The 2 clashes together are a work of art! It looks much more interesting together than alone. Thank you so much for sharing and congratulations on your new piece. You know that I love your style!

It’s like an edgier version of the Perlee 5-row. I was originally inspired by @chiaoapple ‘s stack. Since the Perlee 5-row is discontinued, this a a great option. I’m also going to stack the medium rings on my middle finger.

ETA: Two Clashes have a greater impact than you might think.

Exactly. It looks like they were meant to go together! Thank you for mentioning stacking the two rings, I will do that now with my PG and WG clash rings to get an even better idea for the bracelet pairing!

Hello! I’m new to VCA bracelet world and need an advice picking my very first Vintage Alhambra5 motifs! I have my Estelle Wedding Band and looking for something that goes well with this. All of my other jewelry collections are in YG(Cartier Love and JUC) so thinking should I get the MOP in YG? But then is it too “common(aka classic)” and should get Chalcedony in WG? I do want this to be almost daily use. Please help!

From a WG lover for sure go with the chalcedony. And so much easier to care for than MOP. And of course matches your beautiful Estelle band. Would you mind posting more mod shots of your Estelle band in the ring thread?

Share your VCA ring

So I've looked all over for a thread that consolidates all mod shots of VCA rings, and no luck. If anyone has seen it and can share, that would be great. Otherwise, it would be so awesome if you lovelies would share modeling pics of your VCA ring, any and every kind, in this thread. I look...
