Penny, first of all LOL that your dog is photo bombing your picture!!! He (she?) looks like a schnauzer? So cute! That was my first pet as a child :-)



I love your new ring. I cannot justify any more purchases right now, but I was over the moon when they reintroduced malachite and more pieces are on my "list." There is something about the combination of the green and the clover motif that I think is so classic and beautiful. It always reminds me of Princess Grace, of course, but also makes me think of Caroline Kennedy's beautiful wedding dress. Just so timeless and fresh and beautiful!



The ring looks spectacular on your hand. Enjoy!!!

Thank you!💜 The malachite is such a beautiful stone. I love the green of the malachite worn with black.
Yes, that little photo bomb is my mini schnauzer Ryker. I don't have children and he is my ❤️.
He is my 3rd mini schnauzer. They are so smart, sweet and have SO much personality.
I love my baby!🐾❤️🐾

ETA - I too love Caroline Kennedy's wedding gown, the clover motif is so unexpected on a wedding gown.
She was a beautiful bride.

My Vintage Alhambra 10 Motif Onyx YG also arrived yesterday. 😍
The standard length is 42cm/16.5 inches. I had the complimentary 2" added plus my SA had an additional inch added for me.
VCA actually added a tad more to the length because it measures 20" from end to end. This is the perfect length for my wardrobe. I can add my 5 motif bracelet and have 27". I've posted pix showing the 10 and 5 added together. Since I was not dressed for a modeling pic today, (the blessing of working from our home office instead of our office in town 😀) I hung the 10 and 5 added together over one of my silk tunics to give you an idea of the 27" length.

You have got to be thrilled to have your onyx necklace ! It is a very versatile piece and you have flexibility with your bracelet added as an extension. Enjoy !

I am SO thrilled!! It is so beautiful!!
I love the longer length, but I'll miss wearing my bracelet. 😃
I was going to get another 10 motif in onyx, but I think I'll wear the onyx at those lengths and instead get a 20 or two 10s in the YG. I wear so much black I think the YG will be beautiful against it.

I am beginning to sound like a broken record about onyx but I really do love this necklace. It is the staple piece in any VCA collection! I get a compliment almost every single time I wear mine. Congrats!

Ryker looks like a cutie! I loved my schnauzer too- they are a great breed. We travel so frequently right now it does not make sense for us to have dog. Maybe sometime again in the future.

Wow, so gorgeous, congrats. As everyone has to extend their necklaces why oh why don't they make them longer?

The yg is a great basic. Also nice for layering.
Like you I wear a lot of black. Tigers eye is another one that looks great with black.

It's really personal preference. I've never lengthened any if my ten motifs.

I do wish they would use the hidden clasps, however. Especially since they promote these pieces to be joined together.

I know, it's so annoying, isn't it? I even asked if a hidden clasp could be done as a special order and I was told no. I don't understand why, since they use them on the lucky Alhambra necklaces!
