Hello ladies, my first ever VCA is here :yahoo: and I am in love with the feminine design :love: Thank you for helping me picking out this piece - YG 10 motif.

I am here for some honest opinions though, do you think it disappears on my skin a little? Would RG look better? I am attaching two photos under slightly different lightening here.

Thanks in advance :p

YG 10 motif looks really great on you!:D I am sure you can wear both YG and RG well.;)

Congrats on your 1st vca item, this is next on my list too, such a classic piece. I think the yg looks feminine and "tender" vs your skin tone, but if you want a more "vivid" look the rg may be more "stand out". I personally love the yg, and I think it is not "lost" in you neck at all, def. noticeable from a distance

I think it is magnificent on you, Bougainvillier!!! I was all set on getting the 10 Alhambra in Onyx but seeing your necklace in YG is making me reconsider. It really is stunning on you!

Beautiful!!
Looks perfect. It's also a great layering piece.
Keep the yg. There are more pieces to coordinate with yg than the pg. ( although the pg is pretty!)

This looks beautiful on you!

If you aren't sure, can you take it to the nearest VCA and compare it to the rose gold? Sometimes when I'm not sure about something I just have to go back to the store one more time to just make sure, and compare to an other item I am considering. When I had my VCA bracelet resized, I wasn't sure about the resizing and had to go back to VCA and have them check it and talk to associates about it. I then walked away confident my sizing was correct. Maybe you can go back to the store and try rose gold just to make sure?

However, I can tell you this looks stunning on you, under both lighting!

Hi purseinsanity! I know you love stacking!:tup: I am not sure which wrist I should wear my new Love. Now I wear my JUC 24/7 on my left wrist and sometimes stack Perlee. I wear my diamond line bracelet on my right wrist (I normally don't wear watch!). I rarely wear my 5-motif in onyx as a bracelet. I love wearing the 25 motif in onyx.:D



I love stacking two bracelets, but not three, perhaps. Besides, when I wear a long necklace, I avoid wearing multiple bracelets. Perhaps I am too conservative.;)

Oh einseine gorgeous as always!! The YG 20 Alhambra is first on my 2015 HIT LIST 😀.

Hello everyone!
I am not a frequent poster but I have posted in this thread asking about VAT refunds and everyone here has been so kind with their replies.

I ended up not going to Europe. However, I did go to Japan and took advantage of the currency exchange rate and bought the vintage onyx 20 motif necklace at the Van Cleef boutique in Ginza.

It has been on my wishlist for years :)

I have yet to wear it but wanted to share the news of my first VCA purchase with the lovely folks here!
