I’m sure this has been discussed somewhere in this thread. I am debating the long magic pendant with onyx and WG as I really love it. Does anyone have it? Is it versatile. I love the look of it but want to make sure I can get a lot of use out of it before I purchase. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. View attachment 4119281View attachment 4119282

I really think this will just end up being a personal preference thing -- as you've seen there are some members here who love them and some who don't.

I am sold on this style. I have every one that VCA has made -- carnelian, malachite, onyx wg, onyx yg, letterwood, white mop and the diamond pave. The only one I don't wear often is the pave because for me it is a little more dressy.

For me this style is great for several reasons : 1) the pendant is far enough from earrings that it never competes for attention, so that allows me to go "blingy" with the earrings should I want to 2) it can be worn casually and more dressy, 3) for me, it feels a little fresher and "hipper" than the 20 motifs.

It can bounce around a lot, but that doesn't bother me. I do find sometimes that it hits against a table or desk when I am sitting down, but I just move the pendant around to my back when I am in those situations.

I do still love my 20 motifs and wear them, but I probably wear my pendants 80% of the time I wear a necklace. And I wear a necklace almost everyday.

Good luck with your decision!

HAHAH +1 on the "less endowed in the bust region" comment. I usually wear mine short, but love it that way. I do find I do better with long pendants like this one vs. simply long necklaces like a 20-motif, which tend to "hook" around one boob or another instead of laying flat on the chest. At least with this pendant it falls nicely down the center

....”hook around one boob”.....ROTFL
This has literally happened to me.

Sbelle is spot on!
These pendants are so fun and fresh. I need to get mine out and enjoy it more often. No doubt.
I think that sometimes it’s easy to just slide into certain habits. I always love seeing these pendants on others so I’m going to make more of an effort....

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.

I could be biased but I personally love emeralds sooo much. Good luck deciding.

Hi,
I have been going back and forth between 5 motif bracelet in YG and onyx. I have YG VA pave and Frivole small YG earrings. I liked the onyx on me but my husband and mom like the YG. Which one should I go for?

Another vote for Onyx - it gives quite the "POP." :tup:

Can be worn with either pair of earrings but do you intend to get any other onyx pieces? The ALL GOLD might just be more versatile at the end of the day.
