I got the two butterfly between the finger ring with yellow sapphires and diamonds.

I never got around to doing a reveal but here's a picture of me wearing the ring for the first time at the boutique a few years back. I kept thinking about the ring and finally decided to just take the plunge. I love her to pieces. :D:cloud9::loveeyes::love::hbeat:

Oh wow. Amazing. VCA isn't doing us any favors by making very single piece absolutely stunning! Congratulations.

Hi all. Can anybody tell me if it's possible to purchase the pink gold single white mop clover sweet bracelet online in the US anywhere?

It's only sold in yellow gold online but you can buy it online in pink gold with a carnelian or pink gold sweet clover. It appears all the countries offer the same items online. I recommend phoning them Monday and trying other retailers like Harrods, etc.

Best of luck!

Tough question!
Diamond frivole earrings perhaps.
I love my new LE gray mop pendant.
Perlee bracelet.
I've got a few LE vintage necklaces that I love but rarely actually wear.
My most worn pieces are the large frivole yg earrings.

OK I'm officially used to the large frivole. I LOVE wearing them even with jeans and a t shirt and can easily see them becoming my most worn piece as well.

I admire your taste and suggestions and it got me wondering if you find yourself wearing your VCA jewelry almost exclusively, or if there are other brands you wear alot.

Would also appreciate hearing from others on what percentage of the time you wear VCA jewelry versus other brands.

Hi, thanks for your reply :)

Slightly gutted about no pink gold/mop combo but it's sort of a blessing in disguise. The longer I looked at the carnelian heart the more I realised a bold colour can be worn every day just like a neutral colour. Also that it'd probably pop more against my fair skin, and since I dye my red hair RED red now it may actually be "my colour". Cos I've never had a motif or a colour I feel represents my personality. But cliché as it sounds I'm feeling a bit of an affinity with hearts :)

Also my birthstone's the garnet and my last name (forever) is Fox and foxes are red!

Really starting to feel like I might pull the trigger....!! Opinions? Would LOVE to see some wrist shots of the carnelian sweet bracelet! (Am totally coveting the effeuillage ring now too!)

It is interesting that you ask this question. I do wear fine jewelry but as far as branded jewelry, VCA has become my true love. I'll mix in an Hermes or Tiffany piece now and then.

Thank you for your kind words :hugs:
You are discovering how special these earrings really are. They are fun with jeans and t-shirt but also stunning with a little black dress. I love how versatile they are.
Because they are so shiny and sit beautifully on the ears they catch people's attention and are very flattering. I wear my hair back a lot and sort of got to the point where I felt naked without them. You definitely get used to the size. I am getting very used to the pave pair now. I had reserved them for dressy occasions but pulled them out for the holidays and I have worn them every day for the past week. VCA is pricy but it's beautifully made and if you wear it often, worth every penny IMO.

I'll post one in a few days. I'm getting a sweet carnelian Alhambra bracelet for Christmas!

This makes me smile because my daughter got her first piece of VCA when she was 18 years old. It was a turquoise vintage alhambra pendant. She has treasured it for many years now and still loves it like the the first day she received it. She wore my frivole earrings on her wedding day and loves to borrow my 20 motif necklaces whenever she comes to visit us.

I can now really relate to what you're saying. I have many Tiffany items I wear regularly but never fell in love with, including the Tiffany Victoria medium size earrings and diamond filigree heart pendant. And while I also really like some of my Cathy Waterman and Irene Neuwirth earrings, I wish I'd learned about VCA sooner and saved my money towards buying a few really nice pieces, especially when they cost less. I may sell a few of my other things, but mainly I'll focus on saving up and, in the meantime, enjoying what I already am lucky enough to have (and to be getting soon:graucho:)
