Wow I've never seen a bag like this! Did you have it custom painted? That's a work of art

They both look lovely on you. I’m partial to the WG Chalcedony because I just purchased one.
Yes. I had it custom painted by Max Brownawell (MaxPaintsBags). He did a spectacular job.
He certainly did! He really is talented
Thank you! I’ll get some mod shots and post soonFrom 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...forum.purseblog.com
It certainly did look nice on me but I think it’s partly because of the weather getting warmer? Would Chalcedony be good all year round?
Would you mind sharing your beautiful Chalcedony on your wrist? My only worry is that I won’t have anything to stack with WG until I add anything… Was this also your first purchase?
Sure! I posted earlier in the thread. Here it is with some other bracelets I was trying on.
It was my first 5 motif piece to celebrate 50
I have a modest collection. The ladies here have so many beautiful pieces! The chalcedony is also my first WG VCA. I’m more of a YG gal, but I found the Chalcedony to also look great with some thin TG bangles.
Fabulous!! And love the lilac purple nails it’s so fresh spring!
Gorgeous!!! Thank you for sharing your photos again! I am leaning towards the Chalcedony, even if I end up getting the MOP later, for now I’m more attracted to the translucent stoneIt was my first 5 motif piece to celebrate 50
What a gorgeous photo! The Clash bangles look amazing together; they are so integrated.
I also love the Clover and Signature together as well.
Love your jewelry pieces, including your rings! You have the best!
Hi, and welcome to VCA!
My thoughts are to get the metal that matches your jewelry collection and not your wedding ring. Why?
Engagement rings and wedding bands to me are exempt from having to match metals. This is because these pieces are almost always sentimental, and everyone wear the same wedding band everyday, regardless of what other metal jewelry they wear.
Matching the metal on the bracelet to your other jewelry is far more important than matching it to your wedding band.
I am a huge fan of WG, so normally I vote WG (or platinum) to everything.
However, in your case, I vote to get the YG MOP. Since you have mostly YG in your jewelry collection, a YG Alhambra bracelet wil work with your jewelry collection and not look out of place.
While the WG Chalcedony is gorgeous and matches with your WG Estelle, the "match" needs to be with your other jewelry pieces such as your Cartier YG pieces. The WG Chalcedony is a very cool bracelet, and I don't think it looks good at all with the Love or JUC.
For me, even though I am a WG lover and have a WG MOP Alhambra set, I think the most beautiful stone/metal combination is YG MOP. The MOP absolutely glows and has so much beauty.
Yes, it's a classic, but that is why it is a classic... a lasting piece.
The Love is a classic as well.
No doubt in my mind, I vote the YG MOP bracelet to go with your other YG jewelry.
Hope this helps. Good luck in your decision!
That’s what so great about the VCA journey! All the pieces to dream about and collect. And in the meantime we can enjoy all the eye candy everyone posts here! ❤️
