My SA confirmed this about the butterfly earrings--I am adding the pink sapphire/diamond pair to my future wishlist so I can add the single diamond butterfly as well! Love the versatility of the set!

Yes this set is definitely a must have. I love butterflies but I kept dismissing them because I wasn’t looking at this line. One I tried in the store my face lit up like a kid at Christmas.

Oohhh...do you have any earshots? There were no butterfly earrings for me to try on in person unfortunately!

Lapis!! From m-2-b's pics! I need to try it on first though, I'm not sure how the spacing and the dimensionality of the two butterflies will look on my fingers.

I was actually thinking that I'd like more colour, and wishing VCA had more bright stone earrings options - and then I realized I'd completely neglected to even consider Alhambra! I can get any number of bright stones in Alhambra. Facepalm moment!! Maybe 2023 will be a bright stone year for me

The pave butterfly earrings were stunning on you. They really stand out against your colouring, so striking Love the idea of the mixed pair, and ordering the white singleton later on - two pairs for the price of 1.5!!

I *also* love your description of the GMOP. Shimmery. Yes, very different from the wood. Your RG SO trio is the stuff of daydreams. It's a good thing I don't have spending money because if I did I think I wouldn't have it for very long

Can't wait for you to try on the lapis btf one of these days! I think it will look fantastic on you!

I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the butterfly ring. It sat really nicely on hand.

Yes my butterflies I can’t wait till next year. I’m already planning for them. I love love the two diamond ones. They looked so great with pair of studs in my second hole .

I would say maybe consider RG GMOP earrings to give you a stone color. That would potentially solve two birds with one stone. I do like the magic yg mop earrings.

Okay, here are two of my latest acquisitions....just some basic mop pieces to wear in the summer! Both have beautiful iridescence but these pics don't really show it except on the pendant in the second picture. Thanks so much to @m-2-b for her help in examining the pendant for me at the boutique!

Beautiful new additions to your VCA collection, @diamondseeker2006 ! Love all of the irridescence!

BTW, I'm always glad to be of service as your personal shopper!

Can I sneak in a Bulgari Serpenti Viper bracelet pic into this VCA thread since there is no dedicated Bulgari one?

Totally want this WG version eventually! The diamonds are so big and sparkly IRL on this bracelet!

That bracelet is GORGEOUS in person by the way, and so incredibly wearable! I have a friend who has one and she wears it all the time, it goes with everything. I totally support/enable you buying it!!

I'd also toss in a cheeky recommendation for the pave love. I have a friend who stacks one Perlee clover with one pave love and her stack is literal goals!

I want to thank @LLJsmom, @yssie, @diamondseeker2006, @Missie1, and @RunningwithScissors for giving me their thoughts on the butterfly pin. Apologies if I missed someone. Reading your different viewpoints helped me decide what was the best thing for me personally. I love the butterfly pin but it was not one of the particular ones that caught my initial attention. I will post them below. If it had been any of the 3, I would have bought it without question. So, I decided to go with the clover bangle since it was the very first VCA piece to catch my attention when I started looking at VCA a few years ago. I know I will wear it often. My SA said she will keep an eye out for another brooch. She always seems to perform the impossible.

RunningwithSicissors, I am with you on loving a fabulous brooch. I think they are so under used now. I only have about 3.5 months of good sweater weather each year so I try to make the most of it by wearing them often during that time.

Yssie, I was able to order the bangle. I already had a deposit on another piece that I had discussed with the SA about maybe switching the deposit to the bangle a month or so ago. She was waiting on me to decide when the butterfly pin became available. Because my SA and I had that discussion already and deposit was enough to cover the 30% requirement for the bangle, I was able to switch it to the bangle. That said, I was told the wait would be a long while which I knew would be the case.


These are from instagram and I am sorry I can not credit the posters as I had just saved a snapshot.

Great decision! Agreed that one of these butterflies would've stolen my heart too. The Perlee Clover is a better choice than the pin offered to you.

Ooooh, CONGRATS, DS!! Those pieces are super summery indeed and will complement your collection very well.

Gorgeous new pieces!!! These will be perfect for the summer but I’d personally wear them in the winter too over something black for a pop! We’d love some mod shots!!

I love this bracelet stacked with the Clover. It’s on my wishlist as well

This bangle just never gets old. No matter how many I might see it - different metals on different people with different stacks… Never get tired of looking at it

And a plain line of diamonds is one of my absolute favourite stacks!

Oh really? How good to hear you saying this
I haven’t worn it out yet. Meanwhile I am still having severe buyer’s remorse. These stacks really burned a big hole in my pocket.....better behave for time being.....but still can’t stop browsing VCA’s website

 

[yssie]

I think we can probably all empathize with the burning pockets symptoms

Yes! The clover or signature bangle plus a plain diamond piece - either a bangle or a tennis bracelet. Looks effortlessly elevated. I hope your stack makes you smile every time you put it on And I hope you put it on often! Wearing them a lot is the best way to assuage the spending guilt right!?

LOOK at the colours in that white!!

DS if there’s one thing I know about your jewellery tastes it’s that you enjoy and appreciate having sets. I think you’ve added two of the most versatile pieces!! The white MOP in white gold *pops* on your complexion and you can mix and match with the rest of your white and black jewellery - other VCA, diamonds, pearls - without a second thought I can see these two getting lots of love and airtime!!

We are going to need a mod shot of this. I want to see with the onyx and pave bracelet together.

Whoa! Those are outstanding! I wish I didn't love Perlee Clover as much as I do!!! I absolutely adore it with a diamond bangle!!! Did you have the diamond bangle made to fit next to the PC? The stones look amazing and big! You must give us more details on the diamond bangle! I really love the Clover, diamond, and then Pearls of Gold VCA bangles worn together!

Those butterflies are just fabulous!!!

The butterflies look absolutely amazing on you, m-2-b! I can't wait to see them with the rest of your collection.
