Oops pressed sent prematurely.. lol

Should I go back for them? I do love them but vca looks so vibrant. (Sigh the never ending desires.)

I also tried on a number of other lovely pieces by Birks.

I know this is a VCA thread but those Emerald earrings look so regal and they are a classic design.

The Magic MOP look nice but eventually you might be bitten by the Pave bug and then these will just sit in your drawer.

I would so get the Emeralds if I were you :tup:

Does anyone else find it hard to buy none VCA jewelry even when it’s a style bag VCA doesn’t have?

I love this emerald diamond earring but I am still very much tempted by VCA Alhambra earrings which I don’t have.

The MOP earrings are gorgeous on you. But I do agree with Hadassa on the Van Cleef MOP earrings. If I were you I would purchase the emerald earrings. They are classic and look gorgeous on you.

Thank you for your words of wisdom! While I couldn’t fathom pave Alhambra at this time but I totally understand what you mean.

I agree with you on the design. It’s a classic design.

The blue agate is launching in South of France and it is a permanent addition. It is said to be lighter than lapis and blue porcelain. Available in November. Sounds like if it is something that you want it should be available throughout

Maybe the initial demand will be so great that it will outstrip supply.

VCA has been starved for years for a lovely blue in the Alhambra Collection, since Turquoise and Lapis have been so scarce.



Thank you for putting us out of our misery [emoji257]
My suspicions were correct - it does form part of the permanent collection.



I am trying to redirect these posts to the “50th Anniversary” thread since these new stones are being launched for this event - whether they are LE or remain part of the permanent collection.

So there might possibly be a 20 motif added since it will be a permanent addition to the VA line??? [emoji256]

Yes! I only have 3 VCA pieces and yet I only want to add more VCA. I figure I will eventually have enough VCA that I'll want to look at other brands...maybe?!? :)

Need advice currently have:

Vintage Alhambra earrings
Sweetheart Alhambra bracelet

Carnelian heart in both bracelet and necklace

All of the above are pink gold. Pink looks better than yellow on me. I already have lots of white gold jewelry so not looking for white gold.

Would like to add a pair of sweetheart earrings:
Which would you suggest?
Alhambra pink gold
Heart in Carnelian
Alhambra in Carnelian

I swap around pieces and sometimes wear matching sets

Frivole doesn’t look good on me
Diamonds are not an option

Thank you!
