My 2016 bling bling

[Phoenix]

Phoenix, since it's the 4th of July today, can we hire you to put on all your bling and be the fireworks show?

Happy belated 4th of July!

Sooo hilarious, PintoBean!

The VCA Snowflake bracelet is beautiful but very pricey!!!!

We need to see updated pics of your latest acquisitions--this is SMTB, afterall!

m-2-b, yes!! The pricing of the Snowflake bracelet is pretty outrageous, even by VCA standards! lol Actually, all the "high jewellery", though absolutely magnificent, is priced outrageously! I reckon all these "high jewellery" pieces are for Hollywood stars and royalty and totally out of reach for ordinary people. Indeed, I was invited to the VCA exhibition here last week; and towards the end, there was a short film featuring all these royalty and Hollywood stars adorned in VCA pieces.

Great idea!! You know what? Maybe I'll start a new picture-heavy consolidated thread, one that will contain pictures of my latest acquisitions, particularly the Lotus ring, the Perlée clover bracelet & the Love pavé bracelet, along with their packaging. I'll add some "family" photos, including Holly and my BGD studs since these are my "staples". I may even try some flower pictures, something I've never actually done before. That'd be fun! Stay tuned!!

Please please pretty please Phoenix! I'd love to see a new thread with your new baubles. I can't wait to see pics of the Lotus

Awww, Rosie, of course!! I'm picking up the VCA packaging today. Give me a few days to take the pics and put everything together.

Phoenix, I can't wait for your 'consolidation' thread! It's going to be EPIC!

I just looked up the price of the snowflake bracelet

Excited to see your Lotus ring, Phoenix! Champagne and VCA combined can be dangerous! Did your friend buy anything?

I love VCA. It is a very good thing there is not a store near me.

I've been stalking this thread (and your other purchases over the years) since it started and have to say you have fabulous taste! You carry off each piece so well. I always enjoy reading your posts and can't wait for the big reveal.

Awww, thank you, Biba.

I started the new thread showing my current collection.

LOL, DS! You're sooo right!

My VCA SA offered me champagne again when I went back to collect the packaging. As did the Cartier SA when I went to show off my new Lotus ring to her (the two boutiques are practically next to each other and I understand the two ladies go way back). I turned them both down!

My friend did not buy anything. She tried on a bunch though. She liked the very very long (I didn't ask about the length) Alhambra pavé necklace, but not the price, ha ha.
