I am not by my jewelry right now but I did have this picture on my computer :) My turquoise YG Vintage pendant is in the safe but I will get a picture soon so you can see the variation in color better. Honestly you can't go wrong with turquoise :)

How often do you wear the carnelian studs ? Do you find they go with "enough" outfits to justify them being a first buy? I have a lot of dark red in my wardrobe so I'm very much drawn to the color.
Since "mothers know best", mine isn't fond of the sweet turquoise butterfly at all (too much money to spend on cute), however does like the sweet carnelian clover necklace in rose gold, or the carnelian and onyx studs, which were my other choices.
She does like the sweet turquoise clover studs in yg however if I'm really set on turquoise, but I can't find them on the website =/

Hi cavlier! Your question is really a difficult one! I think you can wear any outfit with the carnelian studs because they are tiny. But, it's better to find the best studs/earrings to go with what you wear for the day, I think. As a first buy, I would recommend you get a pendant!:D

eimseime~Your picture with the sweet grey MOP and carnelian sweet studs is beautiful. So happy you found a LE holiday grey mop pendant. You will love it. The colors look beautiful with your skin tone also. It is perfect. Please post pic when you get yours. I love my grey LE holiday pendant but I sent it back to boutique to get engraved and lengthened an inch. My SA said it would only be one week.

Yes, I can answer your question regarding turquoise color variations. I have the single turquoise pendant (my first piece of VCA) and it is a medium turquoise color ---very vibrant but not as bright turquoise as my YG 20 motif. I also have the vintage alhambra earrings (ear clips) which I bought a few years after my 20 motif and the turquoise is almost a match which is hard to do if you are buying two tens separately. I will see if I have a photo of only my turquoise pieces. Just remember there is a variation in turquoise but they are all gorgeous.

I think I'll try this then :laugh:.

The thing is that while I love the turquoise butterfly and white gold studs, as many of you have said they are more casual-cute, and I feel that at this stage and at this price point I would want the item to be wearable for work/night-out/cocktail-dress/holidays... Idk if I'm expecting too much of a single jewelry item though. I do feel that the carnelian/pg and solid pink gold suit this criteria more.

Maybe I'm overthinking this :smile1:. It's a welcome distraction from the grieving process though, b/c it's like I have lots of free time atm (as you can see from my presence:yes:) but feel a bit too down to be doing much (thankfully I've worked hard the past couple of months so I can afford a bit of leisure time...!).

Well, between the two I would pick the PG sweet studs instead of carnelian. All gold studs are def. more sturdy and will match lots of outfit, and easiser to take care of.

Thanks everyone!!!

Cung, the sweet grey MOP is the LE, which was once available only on JAPAN VCA ONLINE.

TGG, I tried to pass the pendant, but Candice talked into it.:D:graucho:

Candice, I know they are still available in some countries in Asia and Europe. I think I will be able to get one!!!:D

Oh no, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to bother anyone!! :shame:

Thanks very much for checking ... Maybe there's something about the letterwood that does this? It's good news to me that you've never noticed it before. For others with these alhambra pieces, do you have airlines? Do you notice them when wearing your pieces? Thanks all!

I bought the sweet turquoise butterfly bracelet a few years ago and actually returned it because of the airlines, on one side i could see my skin through the motif and for the price i couldn't accept this! so back it went :)
