Just a quick question to anyone who owns any holiday pendant in any year.

I have been wearing my gold mop holiday pendant non-stop lately but in the morning when I was getting ready, I accidentally put on the necklace backwards. But, at least in my own eyes, the necklace backwards looked really fresh! I actually loved the look of the muted flat gold design that kind of has a subtle brushed effect in the back and I actually wore it all day backwards today haha.

Has anyone worn their holiday pendant this way? I have been thinking about getting the Byzantine pendant to get a solid gold pendant that was not part of the vintage collection but now I feel like I don't need one.

I have thought about this so many times as well! I have never done it, but now I may give it a try

Mine has my initials. Once my pendant accidentally got turned around and a friend complimented me on my necklace. So funny!
So yes, I suppose this can be a great look

Question - there's always a lot of talk about the fact that the quality turquoise VCA uses is scarce, if not nonexistent at this point, and that's why they don't produce pieces in turquoise anymore. I was wondering, is it the same for the gray MOP? Is that also why we don't see 5 motif and 10 motif pieces in gray MOP? TIA!

I don't believe that gray mother of pearl is rare since you can purchase bathroom tiles of the material.
Perhaps matching it is a bit of an issue (?).
It is such a beautiful material. Many of us have been hopeful for gmop for YEARS.

Ladies, Does anyone know the current price for the Noued ring? A million thanks! It is no longer on the VCA website.

Hi ladies! New to VCA and about to purchase my 3rd item- Not knowing much about malachite I would love to get your advice and opinion- which ones do you think are nicer between the two pairs? One seems to have a natural mark...and very different colours too.

Thank you!

I like the second pair.

Second pair is more of a match than the first.

I prefer the striations on second pair

 

[nicole0612]

The second pair looks nicer. They will look pretty with your LE pendant.

 

[Notorious Pink]

I think for straight out appearance most will tell you to take the second pair.

For me, I am very particular to the color, the second pair is yellower and the first pair is bluer. For that reason I would pick the first pair (or ask to see more, but quite honestly I have a pair of three motifs on hold because of the color and I did not look THIS closely!!!)

Anybody got this in the mail? The catalogue that came with has VCA jewelries in it. Does that mean it is included? Anybody has more intel? Thanks

 

[Aimee3]

What does the fine print below say? Any exclusions?

 

[klynneann]

Doesn't matter - VCA is never included.
