I found a pristine turquoise 5 motif bracelet but it cost 9k
What do you ladies and gents think of the price, considering how rare the bracelet is? TIA

Hello,
I would like to have your advice (who specially own 10 motif) on changing the original length.
I fell in love with the Guilloche necklace. I am not a bracelet person but initially plan to buy the necklace and bracelet together so I can wear them separately or together as a 15-motif. Sadly the bracelet is just too long... and prefer to shorten it. Then I guess I cannot link them anymore since the width would be different
Option 1. is to wear the necklace only. In this case, would itbe better to add extra links to the necklace? How do they fell different the original vs lengthening?
Option 2. is to keep the original length for both and bear with the looseness of the bracelet.
Feel free to share your thoughts
Thanks,

You can shorten it and still wear them together. I don’t think the difference will be that noticeable, and if it is, just wear the bracelet part behind your neck. [emoji254][emoji254][emoji254]
Wow! Pricey! But it is rare. Do check out what happens if it is not authentic, money back guarantee and return policy etc.
VCA HK taught me to twist my bracelet, about 5 times. The bracelet will shorten and I can wear it without it slipping off. Very cool trick! That way, I dont have to take out any links and can use it together with my other bracelets to form a choker.Hello,

Yes there is money back policy, that's why I'm considering... but it's very hard to swallow the price... if blue agate comes in white gold then I wouldn't have this problem hehe
If this is your favorite combo then I think the price is pretty good compared to others I have seen. I have overpaid for turquoise myself, but it’s the only option now, so I understand your dilemma.
Thank you so much for the support! It means a lot to me! I will report back if I become the lucky owner of the turquoise bracelet

Please do, and good luck with your decision!
This is a very helpful trick! But will it make the bracelet less durable in any way? TIA
Sometimes when I'm faced with this type of decision I contemplate what else I could purchase for the same amount; in this case which VCA piece(s) could I get for the same price.. usually this helps me decide. Good luck and let us know your decision.
I had the same concern too in the beginning - so I twist mine only 3 times. It is not so tight that the gold will snap. I could have clipped the clasp between the 4th and 5th motifs but I always struggle to take the bracelet off afterwards. Maybe VCA will put a jump ring between the 4th and 5th motif? If so, the problem is solved!
