I would totally get the Perlee. That is my next purchase. I have the plain PG Perlee and love it. I wear the small Perlee with my size 16 WG Love and go very well together. I have not had any issues with the clasp yet and am very pleased with its durability.

Thanks!!! And great to know about the sizing. I'm 16 in Love as well. Your stack must be lovely (I think I have seen some pics a while back)

I just received for Christmas my 10 Onyx YG Alhambra necklace and I LOVE it. It goes so well with my new Frivole large earrings, too. I have definitely seen the VCA light, and recently ordered the Perlee YG hoop earrings in small, per Texasgirliegirl's recommendation. I still have some money in my budget and was thinking I might end the year with a pendant. I'm considering one of these and would really really appreciate advice!

1. Lucky Alhambra Butterfly pendant YG in Tiger's eye or White MOP

2. Butterfly Pendant YG, Diamond http://www.vancleefarpels.com/eu/en/product/VCARA63500/butterfly-pendant-1

or

3. Vintage or Magic Alhambra YG Pendant...not sure which color.

You have some great new pieces :)
Since you are interested in a pendant,
why not wait to see what new pieces get released? I have heard that there will be pendants ...

Ladies, I am a newbie here, but I have read the forum for a while. I am a VCA collector and I have a bit of a strange question for you. Have you ever received a "thank you" from VCA for perhaps a large purchase?

Thank you and Happy New Year!!

The hubby bought me two VCA gifts for Christmas!! (They are also my Birthday and Valentines Gifts since all three fall within a month of each other!) It is a big deal because he never has bought me a VCA piece before! (I've made all my other purchases). But he obviously payed attention to my VCA obsession! :smooch:

I'll share the other in another post, but he got me my first VCA pendant! :happydance: A chalcedony vintage WG alhambra! The SA picked out what she thought was the best of the 5 they had in stock.

What do you think? Is this a good one? My hubby is okay if I swap it for a different one as he knows I'm going to keep a chalcedony pendant in my VCA collection! And this is something I will be wearing everyday so I want to make sure it is a good Chalcedony stone! I noticed that there are clear stripes on mine (it picks up whatever color it is sitting on as you can see from the pics.) Not sure if that is good or not.

Thanks for the feedback all!

Most of the time I got a little box of chocolates but after a couple of purchases in one year, I got a bottle of perfume, which was fabulous.

No, and I was disappointed. In a span of two months I purchased two pairs of sweet earrings, a 20-motif necklace, a 5-motif bracelet, and the Magic single motif long necklace in letter wood. All within a couple of months of each other. Not a small purchase at all, and no 'thank you' at all. No bday greetings (which was a month after my purchase. Nothing.

Very pretty striations.
Does it have brown in it ?

I just received my birthday/Christmas gift from my DF (20motif yellow gold necklace and 10 motif onyx yellow gold necklace) And my lovely SA thanked me by sending me a lovely Diptyque 6.5 candle which I was completely surprised by, but in the past when I received my earrings she included a box of chocolates. VCA is such a wonderful and appreciative company. Truly a class act in my experience.
