Your heart wants the WG and the practical side of you is saying to purchase the YG.

P, live a little...Throw caution to the wind and get the WG :P

[emoji1] I love the WG when I see it like in C’s pic, but then when it is VCA I LOVE YG so that is why I am hesitant to go with the WG.

I guess changing color of VCA gold is just a pointless quest for me. I really thought I might could do it this though, guess I will stay with my first love the YG. [emoji846][emoji846]

Can you repost EB's pic with the PC clover?

Of course, I am sure since she posted it here she won’t mind.

@PennyD2911, I can see that EB's PC bracelet is PG from this pic, so the WG complements it well :tup:

YG is your safest bet...but ultimately, you have to be happy with your choice.

When I first saw this pic I didn’t look closely enough to see the bracelet was PG, after EB pointed that out and I read what you said about mixing only WG and PG, I think as you said I am safer with YG since my both my Perlee bracelets are YG.

Heads up: I am horrified to see this listed on eBay!
Item number is 232810795744

View attachment 4105739

Huge thumbs down to eBay for suggesting “more like this”:

This is NOT OK!!
I hope that you reported this listing.
VCA should be more invested in prosecuting these individuals. I used to report clearly fake listings but became discouraged by their mass numbers.
This is a great example of why you really can’t trust eBay as a source for VCA anymore. Think about it. These are blank COA’s.
There are rare exceptions (a few trusted resellers) but at this point I only trust the authenticity of items purchased directly from the boutiques.

Came across a Three-part article celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Alhambra. Thought I would share :smile:

This was posted by our very own dear Hadassa in another thread. I thought it really deserved to be in the main discussion thread as well.

Because it is finally something for ALL of us to look forward to. Here is a link for pre-order of the book mentioned in the article (it will be released on August 28th):

May I ask if she is still in the NYC store please? I just recently met a lady who used to work at VCA NY for almost 10 years according to her, and she started a jewelry business probably from her book. She is so adorable and I can see her being so helpful and offer such temptations. It is always nice to know the nice things that goes around.


Everything is so gorgeous! I am wondering if you can do a group shot for your VCA watches please but no pressure. I am thinking of a complication and had ideas in my mind, but I need more enablers and you have such a great collection to share.

Thanks dear! Taking a group photo of all the watches will be a challenge as they are at different places. I’ll try to post more photos when I wear them :)

I reported it and sent the info to my SA as well - maybe she can notify corporate.
