We have the same wrist size and here is mine shortened. VCA didn’t care that there are different number of links between the motifs. If it were any shorter it would be incredibly hard for me to put this on by myself lol

I couldn’t remember so I just dug up my work order. It was 6!!
It allows for enough movement but not too much.
I don’t have a Tysons SA - I was just randomly assigned one when I went in! But a couple of different SAs wound up actually working with me and my friend to find stuff and answer questions and they all seem very nice and helpful. Sorry I can’t help much there!Thank you!! I think you're right - I think I am! I want it allll.
Re: a 20 motif - never say never, but I'm kind of short at 5'1", so I'd have to try one on and see what it looked like proportionallyI'm also intrigued by people who wear their two 5-motifs together as a necklace, or add one 5-motif to their 10-motif in different configurations as a necklace.
Definitely I think choosing the more expensive pieces first makes a lot of sense given the sometimes ridiculous price hikes happening across luxury goods these days (lookin' at you Chanel). But also weighing against what you want more and will love more -- definitely would appreciate the carnelian 5 motif over wg/chalcedony earrings, but if I know I want both anyway, makes sense to go for one before the other?
I think I'll try and get an appointment at Tysons in July to play - do you have an SA there that you work with @yssie? Pretty certain VA sales tax is better than CA also so... maybe... we'll see what the jewelry gods have in store for me
My preowned letterwood necklace had been shortened in a really strange way, and I was really worried that the odd shortening was a sign of inauthenticity. My SA - who's been with the brand for a decade now - explained that In The Olden Days there wasn't a ton of oversight of the independent jewellers who are contracted to do simple repairs (including resizing chain pieces)... So even though there *was* a standard way to lengthen and shorten, the various VCA-authorized jewellers would make different decisions about how to actually do those jobs. But apparently in the past few years VCA has really tightened operations up on that front, so these days your lengthening/shortening will be done the same way no matter which boutique or authorized dealer you take it to. Just to help explain why some older pieces do have extra links by the clasps - I've seen that too.
I posted these pics before on this thread when I first got it but here are a few more pics at the shortened length.
OMG. Seriously!?
VCA opened a new standalone boutique in Tysons Corner Virginia. Before this boutique the only VCA around was inside the Neiman Marcus there.
Thank you! Unfortunately I’m an everything jewelry kind of girl but for VCA specifically I’m only interested in earrings and bracelets right now.
You’re right I’ve been thinking about whether to complete the carnelian set first or to order the most expensive on my list - wg/chalcedony earrings - next. I’m just taking my time figuring it out
OMG. Seriously!?
I thought the new boutiques got new inventory, made for them - I didn’t realize older boutiques were required to send *their* stock to new boutiques. That’s terrible!! Those poor NYC SAs, inventory was already a disaster, don’t make the salespeople spread themselves even thinner
Well now I’m annoyed. My SA is based out of NYC. The brand should hold off opening locations until they’ve got reasonable ways to stock them. Like. Obviously. C’mon Richemont.
You don’t need to tell me twice!
It’s the platinum jubilee weekend, here in the UK. Many of us are off work and there are a few parties and nice dinners to go to, one of which was last night. I stacked it with my tennis bracelet and got compliments from someone at the party (no one ever comments on jewellery here in the UK) Here is a snap before I left, and another at the party
Also thanks for all the pictures yssie! I think the magic Alhambra full pave rose gold earrings will go beautifully with you dream VCA stack!
IT'S HERE.
Sadz that I'll have to part with it temporarily to have it resized. Ho hum.
Hi @AnastasiaBeaverhausen
Having seen both RG & YG of this bracelet, I think WG will suit my skin best. It looks so pretty on you
I hope it’s not rude to ask if you paid the SO price?

. Only seen the WG here, not irl.
Thanks so much
I was lucky to have come across earrings of RG & YG, tried both pairs on & their matte looking metal colors somehow didn’t pop against my yellowish Asian skin, lol
Btw I am supposed to be on self-imposed buying ban ( blings specifically) but I can still dream right?
