I'm also torn on the 20 motif Malachite. I think Malachite is absolutely stunning but is it versatile enough? I have the 10 motif Onyx and MOPs, so I don't really want to do 20 motifs in either of those. Kind of wish I'd done a 20 in Onyx. And I wish they'd bring back Lapis LOL.

I just purchased another 10 motif onyx to link to my first 10. I SO wish I had purchased the 20 motif. I thought the 2 tens would be more versatile and it is, but I still wish I had gotten the 20. I love malachite, did you see the pix of my new Magic Alhambra ring in malachite? I wear so much black, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase a 20 in malachite. 🍀🍀

Oooooh, no I haven't seen the picture! The ring is a stunner for sure! I was thinking the Malachite would look great with black or white (two of my wardrobe staples) but my sister said I'd look like I'm ready for St. Patrick's Day and I'm since not Irish, it would look ridiculous!? :p

Apparently your sister is not "into" VCA. 😀
Malachite is a beautiful stone and I think the 20 is very classy.

I recently got my first VCA and I am full on addicted! Trying to narrow down my next purchase LOL. Does anyone wear their Perlee diamond clover bangle with Alhambra gold 5 motif bracelet? I saw a picture of the two together and can't get it out of my mind!

I personally feel that the perlee diamond clover bangle would look best by itself or with the plain perlee.
The loose nature of a five motif with the structure of the bangle...not loving that one.
Less is more IMO because that particular piece is so incredibly fabulous.

No, no, no!!!! No! It would be perfect. Malachite is beautiful and goes perfectly with black, white, grey, cream.... Green does not discriminate as to nationality...it loves everyone.:hbeat:

I think your sister wishes she were the one buying the piece. :D And don't get me wrong, I wish I was buying it today as well. Can't wait to see it on you!

Though when the SA put on both socrate btf& frivole ering i felt there was some thing not connecting. Maybe because the huge difference in diamond?

So it got me planning maybe buy her two sets, one simple for daily use and one luxurious I'll keep for our first anniversary.

This is what am thinking of:

Beautiful simple set:
1.frivole erings + frivole rings or perlee plain ring.
2. Plain or 3 diamond Love ring with small frivole,3 diamond frivole or any other simple ering.
3. Any other recommendation for a simple set to go with vca mop.

Luxurious set:
1. Socrate BTF ring. Socrate ering looks good but it's a little bit over my budget (was not intending to pay more than 10k $ for erings)

2. Maybe vca offers a new set cheaper than socrate in the first quarter of 2015? (Hopefully they don't increase prices)

Or maybe pass the simple set wait for my next month salary , and get both socrate pieces?

Thanks alot!
