Curious, Do you even wear YG?
Wow your min spend is yearly not overall 85k? Which country is this might I ask
Ah yes we're opposites haha, i got bored by the consistency.. so the pave really works for me. Cos i was finding other bracelets like my hermes gambade to stack with the WG MOP
But i am really tempted by you on chalcedony haha! If they had pink chalcedony, i would jump immediately!
Singapore, or unless i heard or caught it wrongly? Someone frm singapore can correct me if otherwise
Rarely. Though on occasion I feel like it. I have a RG hammered, blue agate, onyx and YG that work together. But I seldom wear them. The pendant i wear most is is a RG chain with a solitaire.
Ah! Nice that you can focus mainly on 1 metal!
I was primarily YG... lol. But now i am inclined towards WG -.- but i realise somehow that WG has many shades, some more grey like Cartier and while i like some of their design, i dont like the color of most of their WG items..
There are times where i wear light coloured or floral clothes that i will lean towards my YG pieces, so i am having to spilt my collection both ways. LoL. Abit annoyed. Like i always end up getting 2 pieces of the same thing. E.g. perlee rings, i have YG then now WG. Coco crush ring, YG pave then WG plain, Cartier c d cartier necklace in WG, then the 1895 necklace in YG! Ugh. O.o hahaha. In a way they are duplicated but i try to vary where possible.
OMG super dreamy_yyyyyyyyyyyy!!!! ♡♡♡♡♡ cant stop admiring!!!These are some photos of that SO combo on little red.

I’m sorry. I just noticed you said min spend per year. Wow. I wish vca would be consistent with its rules between countries.
It’s hard when you have more than one metal to collect. every purchase requires more consideration. But it also nice to change up your look based on your mood too.
Just chiming in here in regards to the wg and its varying shade: VCA white is one of the best whites. They add palladium and then rhodium plate it and it tends to be much more of a pop and crisper than some of the other brands white gold. I know Cartier also adds to their gold and then plates their white gold for their items with diamond pieces. The non diamond pieces do not get plated and hence the more steel-grey look. Other wg in 14k, 10k etc also can have plating but somehow (and this is just personal experience) those items which have not had palladium and then were plated (meaning instead they just plated it) always are not as crisp and glowing and do not wear over time as well.
I don't think VCA can be consistent with minimum spend as each country has their own purchasing power, much like how Hermès does with pre-spend for quota bags for each country.
Yes i know right, even the qualifying conditions for the holiday pendant.. seems pretty ambiguous to me. I think i spent less in 2021 but got offered the HP2020 (albeit by a different younger newer SA who has since resigned). I bought my oynx pave bracelet and a perlee ring this year 2022 (i think is a higher annual spend than previously), but was told HP2022 are all allocated alrdy. Not that i was keen thankfully. I am over VCA pendants.
Prefer to stick to the bracelets and rings for now. But yes, i am always so torn btw gold or wg but i agree that VCA white gold is most gorgeous! Thats what steered me towards getting the WG pave onyx when i was initially worried if it will turn yellowy over time
Im starting to think i need to change up my SA -.- its too hard to become his top clients cos he is a long time SA at VCa. Lol.
