I don't think it looks lost on you at all, I think it looks amazing! I would be totally honest with you if I felt it was lost on your skin tone too since I have it in the single motif/pendant (not sure what to call it) and it *does* get lost on my skin. So I wish I had noticed sooner. But I wear mine over a black top and it's fine.
Looks great, enjoy
The YG looks awesome on you. Don't change it
Thank you all for your feedback and lovely kind comments. I wanted this to be as versatile as it can be and also not too much of a statement, and after trying a few outfits yesterday, I'm sold. It's elegant and dressy but not too much that I have to go all out. Plus most of my jewelry are YG (most of the ones I want from VCA, as well)
By the way, we don't have a boutique in Boston (there was one and it went on construction and gone now. I cannot search up anything on the VCA website as well). So I had to order from NM and deliver home. Not really feasible to try RG unless we travel.
Anyways thanks so much. Now I cannot wait for another to link them, and the Frivole ear clip is also high on my wishlist.
Everyone, I have 2 10 motif onyx necklaces. I now want to but the earrings in the sweet size. I'm actually thinking of getting the carnelian rather than the onyx. Am I making a mistake? Should I try to match my necklace? Would it even match anyway because I'm getting the sweet size?
It's a personal preference thing, but if it is the sweet size, I think the black onyx sweets would look lovely with the black onyx necklace. The scale is different so it works. And then you can wear them alone too. But if you are looking for a red pair - something you can reach for that you don't already have, color wise, then go with the carnelian. Again, personal thing, but I wouldn't wear the carnelian sweets with the black onyx motif necklace. It's like you are trying to match, but failing. Hope that makes sense.
I just picked up a pair of WG perlee hoops last month, and it's the wire and not the post.
Ladies. I'm trying to make a decision. I don't love my WG perlee medium ring. Too dainty for me. So considering going up to the large WG Perlee ring. Or should I put the money towards a WG Chalcedony Pendant or a WG Frivole Pendant? Have to make the decision this week.
If anyone has any modeling photos they could direct me to, that would be great.

I suppose it depends on what you have and what you are looking for. I have the WG chalcedony pendant and love it. VCA's WG is so bright and sparkly. The WG Frivole pendant looks dressier to me than the chalcedony because of the diamonds but it is really pretty. What type of piece are you looking for? Perhaps decide which you would wear more often or which you do not have many of.
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!
Congrats on your 20 motif in onyx!　　I know that Van Cleef Ginza is very gorgeous!!! Must have been a special experience.
Hi Suzie! Sounds fab! BLK X RG is my favourite! I love wearing my simple little black dresses with the RG alhambra.
Thanks for replying [MENTION=168901]chanelli[/MENTION]sette. I am looking for something that is more of an everyday piece. My motifs I wear when I have a business meeting or the like. Most of the time I'm dressed really casually. I thought these two pendants would be options for everyday wear. Just didn't know which one would get the most comment/notice. I love the idea of the perlee ring too. Just needs to be bolder for me with the larger beads. But didn't know if the necklace would be a better investment.
I haven't been around in a while, but wanted to share my latest purchase!!
My dh decided to get me an early birthday and holiday present, so I chose the pink gold vintage alhambra earrings! They go nicely with the holiday pendant!
I was supposed to wait until the holidays to wear, but couldn't! I LOVE them!

!My dh has decided that I can get another holiday gift, but I can't decide what to get since he set a budget (I wish I had a larger budget before I picked out the earrings..sigh).
I can't decide what to get. I am thinking of getting the xo Schlumberger Tiffany ring which I have been admiring for a long while. I have 3 pairs of nice earrings (counting my recent purchase), plenty of pendants / necklaces, a collection of VCA and Cartier bracelets, but seem to be missing a nice statement ring (other than my wedding set). Most of the VCA rings I adore are out of reach of the budget he set for me.
Thoughts?
Thanks for any input!!

Hi ILoveC, I vote for the black onyx. I boughht them in the vintage size this past September and wear them all the time. They are so easy to dress up or down, and I like the idea of having the 2 10's to match. I love carnelian as well but the black is just a perfect staple piece.
