So either the YG / RG Vintage pave earrings or YG Magic pave earrings. Either pair would go nicely with your Place Vendome pendant and also your soon-to-arrive Noeud ring!

Is it crazy to get 2 practically identical MOP VA bracelets? ie. both MOP, both in YG. I saw them today and they were both so beautiful. I cannot decide which! lol Look at these beauties!!
And we had so much fun trying on so many other pieces. I tried on the Snowflake pendant, my friends tried on the Folie de Pres all-diamond necklace and the Magic Alhambra pave bracelet. They were divine!!!

@Phoenix123 @Toronto24 Thank you so much ladies! I love this thread especially "post your VCA family portrait" Looking at everyone's collection gave me so many ideas. I am thinking of VA pave /butterfly earrings in mop pg to go with my ring ..plus it would add variety to my collection. I truly appreciate everyone's input here..trying to not buy any regret pieces down the line.
OMG that seems like a fun day! Wish we all could gather like this ...hmm...we would need a huge VCA store though!!Is it crazy to get 2 practically identical MOP VA bracelets? ie. both MOP, both in YG.

I can usually be found on the Hermes thread, but I've been following along here for quite some time, admiring your beautiful pieces/collections and wondering what I could add to my currently small jewelry collection. I am looking for pieces that can be worn nearly everyday, especially with a baby on the way. I take good care of my things and I'm not worried about regular wear and tear on items, so I wouldn't be deterred from wearing stones or the guilloche pieces daily. I will soon have a rose gold Patek that I will wear daily and my engagement and wedding ring set is rose gold as well. I tend to like rose gold best, but do have diamond studs and earrings with white gold and other jewelry in yellow gold.
That being said, I would like my first pieces to be the VA PG letterwood earrings and 5 motif bracelet. I found a lovely SA yesterday in another state, and I ordered the last pair of earrings in the US and she is doing a worldwide search for the bracelet. I hope she can find it and this can be my first set from VCA! After that, I really love the VA PG GMOP and pave alternating 5 motif bracelet, but I think it will be good to see how often I wear the letterwood bracelet before adding the one with pave to my collection. I like the guilloche and blue agate pieces and will consider those for the future. I am also interested in a necklace that I can wear everyday. I currently wear a thin gold chain with gold evil eye and fish charms, from my Mom and sister. I saw a picture of someone wearing the PG sweet Alhambra 16 motif necklace doubled, and I think that would be a pretty piece to layer with other jewelry that I don't have to take off every night.
I am open to suggestions and thoughts, and I am so happy I took the step to add the first of many VCA pieces to my burgeoning bag collection yesterday! Can't wait for the earrings to arrive and to try them on!

Hi!!!! Great to see you here!
You and I are on the same page with letterwood. It’s very pretty - just making sure you know that the wood darkens over time with wear. In my opinion, it looks better that way and I may try to hasten that.
I was going to suggest the pg pave vintage Alhambra earrings but perhaps you have that covered with your studs. For me these are perfect for every day. The letterwood studs are also beautiful.
Most people like the pendants for every day. Unfortunately they don’t really suit me but when you have the time you should go to the boutique and play. The Two Butterly and Frivole pendants are beautiful and versatile, day-to-night pieces. For me, I cannot avoid the only pendant I am interested in - magic pave. It’s on “the list”.
Also, definitely play with the bracelets if you haven’t yet. Right now I have two gorgeous TDF bracelets (the pg pave gmop and the blue agate) and I know that ultimately I will not keep either one because I really prefer bangles. They’re not regrets but sadly not keepers for me. I don’t like that flimsy feeling and prefer a more substantial weight on my wrist. I may hold on to the agate to use as an extender for the ten motif I hope to acquire this year.
Just my thoughts!!! [emoji8]
NYC would be a riot. I‘m a mere 5.5 hour drive away [emoji6]
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. You are so sweet!
That sounds dreamy with the letterwood. I like it because it's such a deep, moody tone but not quite black so I will really enjoy the darkening with age. I will have to look back and see which pieces you have.
I tried on the PG pave VA earrings over the holiday and they are lovely. I do think I have that covered for right now with my two pairs of diamond earrings, but they could be on my list in the future! If anything other pieces (earrings or necklace) are released in GMOP and PG, or if I'm ever fortunate enough to place a SO, I think that would be the perfect way to find a nice pairing with the PG GMOP and pave bracelet, which I would like as one of my next pieces.
I do wish I had a store nearby to play. It could be both dangerous and also helpful. Unfortunately, the nearest is 4 hours away in a direction that I typically do not travel. Next time I find myself in a city with a store, I will absolutely check out more of the pendants and bracelets! And likely the rings as well.
Your two bracelets are stunning!! But it is good you know what suits for your lifestyle and have that in mind for your longterm collection. Glad I have you and everyone else here to help guide me in the right direction as I start from scratch with VCA!
I would go for this magic instead of the SO. It still has a similar neckline but adds variety, and is so much more interesting! It looks stunning on you.
Suggest going to VCA and trying a lot of different pieces on and see what items stand out for you. I have found some pieces are gorgeous in pics or on others then blah on me. The sweets especially are too small on me but on other members here they look amazing. Then from there build your wish list.
I find the sold gold and diamond pieces are the easiet to wear as a mom of little kids since I do not worry about them getting wet and little fingers all over them. However, the stones are soooooo beautiful!
On the other thread you had mentioned getting larger diamond studs, as an alternative you could get pave/diamond VCA earrings. There are so many beautiful styles and they would give you an alternative look to your current studs.
Have fun deciding!
Thanks! I think I am leaning towards the magic, but I did not like it the first time I tried it on since I was wearing the wrong neckline. So that is making me hesitate and want to stick with what works.
