I think ChaneLisette has got a little confused and didn't realise you were specifically asking about earrings, which afaik are not available as single motif chalcedony, as much as I would love them to be.
I have similar-ish colouring and never wear yellow gold but was surprised by how much I loved the yg malachite when I tried them on in store. Keep dropping hints to DH to no avail so far!

Just wanted to add that I'm glad that all the Texan members here seem to be okay. Having seen the long term damage that Katrina did to such large areas of New Orleans, I really hope that lessons have been learned & Houston will recover. The videos of alligators just swimming around past people's houses was just bizarre! Much too soon to make jokes about Hermès handbags swimming past!

Thank you so much Jules! Yes, now I see we were talking about 2 different items of jewelry. Wouldn't it be great if the chalcedony single motif was available for earrings? I got so excited for a second because I thought they might be available after all :)
So two votes for the malachite. Of course I'm also enabled by Sbelle's posts of her (Magic malachite earclips, I believe), with similar coloring as well.
Isn't it amazing how VCA yellow gold can somehow work on our cool coloring, yet no other yellow gold can work?
It was amazing. Last night when I got home my husband was looking for some paperwork on an out of the way table and came back in the room with a VCA catalog he had found and expressed an affinity for the Alhambra name (he had never heard the name of the style before). I encouraged his newfound interest.
I second your sentiments about our friends here from Texas including TGG, thinking about you and so glad you are safe. TGG I hope the water did not end up reaching your house. My whole extended family is in New Orleans and immediately surrounding areas, and one was never able to return to her house.

Oh goodness! Jules is right. I was referring to the pendant. I apologize. I have had a terrible head cold and have been in a daze for days haha. I wish you the best of luck in making your decision.

You allowed me to daydream about chalcedony earclips for a few hours and that is a gift in itself :)
With such a long post, some confusion is completely understandable.
I'm so sorry to hear about your cold, I hope you are turning the corner to feeling back to yourself again soon.

Hi Chanel, don't worry I get totally muddled where VCA is confused - maybe hypnotised is a better description, head cold or not! Hope you're feeling better :flowers:

Need some expertise and I apologize because there have been posts about this and I have read it but I just wasnt too sure. For the earring I have below, does this go on my left ear? (ie. does the extra metal pount outward? )
Thanks so much.

I'm new to VCA but I've caught the VCA bug!!

When does the holiday pendant usually debut and do you think this is a good entry piece? I was thinking either the holiday pendant, the sweetness bracelet (to wear with my love bracelet) or the sweet pendant as something delicate - thoughts everyone?

Why lower prices in March to just raise them in September??

I'll be watching for the new prices! Hopefully won't be too much of a hike as I'm not looking to add the two butterfly ring until January.

Crazy as this sounds, it seems that the sales spike right before each price increase as customers rush to beat the new prices. It makes me wonder if sales didn't improve following the decrease 6 months ago.
