This is so lovely! I have the bracelet and the pendant in white gold.

Awww love it haha...that's a cute look too!
My VCA byzantine in YG is actually two short necklaces that I put together usually for the one longer strand look...
Now you've inspired me to maybe find a pendant to add to my VCA byzantine piece and see how it looks
When I get my VCA Magic Alhambra necklace...maybe I can use that pendant on this YG byzantine necklace too to mix it up sometimes
I saw your Chanel earrings and your beautiful engagement ring on IG. All the time your finance spent working on your engagement ring was worth it!
You inspired me on a lot of VCA back in the day!I bought the white gold and yellow gold byzantine alhambra necklaces after seeing your pictures! I got them right before VCA "rested" the style.
I do keep adding to my VCA. It seems every time I say I am done, I find something else! My latest purchase was the 3 motif Magic earrings. Years ago I had the 2 motif Magic earrings and hated them because the constant movement was annoying . So I always figured I wouldn't like the 3 motif. Well I don't know if it is that years have gone by and I have mellowed, or that the movement of the 3 motif is softer and gentler than the 2 motif-- whatever it is I came home with the 3 motif.
Haha...I'm glad to be a "good influence" on others LOL
I had the vintage Alhambra single classic earrings in MOP but realized that's too fragile for me as I prefer most all my pieces to be wearable 24/7 in the shower etc and anything with pearls is a no-go sadly...
I'm looking at the butterflies earrings as well as the ring and the lotus ring and the magic Alhambra pendant necklace too...see why P is avoiding VCA for now...that and Cartier jkkk lol
And yes, P deserves all the credit on the e-ring...he's quite happy with it himself and now, we've been looking at a Colombian Emerald ring but it's been hard finding the size we want with the perfect specs like the ❤️ diamond
Love the shooting star earrings on you!! I have always been scared to go into the Chanel fine jewelry department, fearing that I might ring something home with me.
I have also read and enjoyed your blogs in years past!!! Thoroughly enjoyed it!
You're so sweet! I really had no idea the blog was so loved and interesting to other people, I think I'm still quite surprised any time someone brings it up these days
I honestly felt like it was so "pedestrian" and not that unique of a blog (or life) compared to many other "more well put together/professional" blogs out there!
Maybe I'll revive Corystyle at some point down the road...but for now, IG is all I can manage and even then, I took a one year hiatus from IG most of last year!
For those of you who reside in Australia I went into the brand new Chadstone VCA store today. It opened last Friday.
They had the onyx in WG with alternating pave diamond 20 motif in the window, it was so, so, stunning!
I couldn’t take a photo as my iPhone was getting repaired at Apple.
I also tried on the WG Sweet turquoise earring and I must admit I loved them.

@calisnoopy so nice to finally “meet” you. I joined tpf fairly recently and your previous photos certainly were enabling. Love seeing how you wear your pieces so casually which is how I dress most often as well.
Petah seems amazing. Does he have a brother? Just joking. Happy with my baby daddy despite him not being as supportive of my VCA addiction [emoji13]
No, not that I am aware of. I will check the receipt to get the price though. I have the 20 that was sold earlier through Dover Street and saved tax which was amazing!
I really love this idea.
I have achieved a similar look with my limited edition malachite 10 plus my malachite magic pendant. Does seeing the clasp bother you?
VCA could potentially sell more magic pendants if they would allow the bale to clip on easily vs having to slide the clasp through.
In fact, wouldn’t it be nice if VCA also offered hidden clasps like the ones on the 16 motifs?
We could wear these pieces even more creatively.
Yes, I can get the bail through the clasp but not the bail and the end of the necklace. I still like it but I would prefer it if it stayed on the clasp all together as it tends to slide.
That would be great if a premium isn’t required because I missed out the Dover street release last year
Hi! (sorry I' new) do you alter your pieces professionally or are you just attaching the necklaces together? I just got a VCA alhambra MOP YG bracelet with just 4 motifs and I'm wondering about having the magic earrings made from it or making it into four separate pendants. Only bc I feel like maybe the 4 motifs isn't enough for the bracelet although it appears someone else wore it this way as I purchased from an estate auction. Just the large magic pendant was removed. Probably to make a single pendant necklace. Whats your feel on altering the piece.... anyone?

I’m sorry I didn’t get one then. Does anyone know? I have to ask my SA, but I’m also waiting for the blue agate.
