The VCA clasps have been redesigned and are now quite attractive[emoji1360] In my humble opinion, it does not detract from the beauty of the necklace in any way.

2 X 10s give you versatility. Unless you are going to purchase a 20 in a different stone, I would say go for the other 10 in MOP. It's half the price of a 20 [emoji6]

Thank you Hadassa :)

Myako, you can add two links in between motifs and still maintain the round shape that you desire. And if you purchase another 10, then you will have to maintain the same length for uniformity.

OR you can add an extender for days you want a longer look, without touching the necklace at all.

OR, you can skip the process altogether if you intend to wear as a 20, since that length is perfect on its own.

Hi Hadassa, the extender that you mentioned, is it from vca?

Yes, VCA can do a 2" extender free of charge within 90 days from date of purchase.

But it's either the links in between or extender - they will not do both.

Some members have purchased non-VCA ones on eBay.

Hello, again.
I just contacted my SA about extender, she said we don't have the service any more....we only offer the adding the links between motifs....
Do you think it's gonna be too long if I wear 2"longer 10motif and normal 10motif to make 20motif ? (the length should be 89cm (approx.35"))
I'm 5'4".

Myako, I extended my necklace 2" longer and it does not maintain the round look [emoji20] That is why I was able to give that advice. Two links in between clovers will be perfect.

There will also be a noticeable difference depending on how you choose to couple the 2 X 10s to make a 20.

If you couple behind the neck and at the bottom, the motifs will not line up.

I hope I am explaining properly for you to visualize.

Myako, in answer to your specific question asked, with your height I don't think it should be too long [emoji1360]

Thanks a lot for your info.
I have one more question...
”Two links in between clovers will be perfect.”
that you wrote means...
If I want to make 2”longer, put the 2 links each between clovers?
I guess it makes 2” longer necklace, Am I wrong?

Two links in between clovers might be about 1-1/2". 2" and it wouldn't look round like you prefer it to look.

Get it right the first time, otherwise it's close to US$400 to have it redone.
