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?

VCA onyx/YG has my heart so I would normally chose that combo, but on you the YG seems to glow against your skin, it looks beautiful on you!

I am currently having the exact same debate between yg and onyx. Both of them look great on your skin honestly, maybe the yg would be easier as an everyday?

Can anyone share how well the onyx wear/holds up over time?

I really like the onyx on you, I think it looks great!
From a practical perspective - the all YG is a super workhorse. I wear mine without having to think about it as it is resilient given it's all gold.

I have not owned VCA WG long enough to know this - since the WG is plated with rhodium, will it actually tarnish or maybe lose its luster over time? I have seen some WG pieces in pictures and the WG looks a little dull. But this could be due to the angle of the camera.
 
I love the look of the onyx, but the yg is a good base piece. Either way you can’t go wrong!

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.

YG will be more versatile with both clothing as well as other jewelry pieces.

Both look great on you !! I have the plain YG and wear it all the time. It’s quite hardy. I don’t know if you can get the onyx wet.

The onyx looks amazing - go for it!

Yes, it is. When I lost weight I moved my butterflies from my ring finger to my middle finger.

Thanks for the replies!!❤️❤️I am planning to get the YG love bracelet later this year. So I am still wondering if I want the bracelet to blend in or stand out from the Love bracelet.
As far adding other onyx pieces I don't have plans at this point. After my pave VA earrings, I want other pave earrings like Frivole and Lotus . So they will be next.

You are correct that VCA wg is rhodium plated.
Over time it can lose some luster, but VCA can replate the piece and it will come back as shiny and beautiful l as new.

I think that if you get the all gold, you will long for the onyx and eventually buy that as well. Whereas, I think if you get the onyx, you'll probably feel satisfied and be able to move on :)
 
I am getting conflicting info on btw ring sizing. I asked my SA if it could have it resized in case I lose or gain weight..
Her response "NO"
I called VCA and they told me "yes, it could be sized one up or down"
ugh, which one of this information is true?
Tpf members would probably have a solid answer for me. Please let me know..thank you :flowers:
