VCA Obsession

[Paisley2628]

Thank you @Paisley2628 Are you talking about the little WG band? It’s the smallest size of Perlee.

Yes - Thank you!

Is it bad that I created a whole new thread for my collection? And my pics aren’t even complete? I confess I’ve been inordinately preoccupied by VCA lately. Maybe this thread can be cathartic. I apologize to those who aren’t interested in these pieces. It’s not a big collection by any means, if you’ve seen those on the other forum. But VCA is addictive.

Hi @LLJsmom!
Reviving your thread to ask if you:
- still wear and enjoy your sweet carnelian bracelet now that you have 5 motif bracelets?
- have any opinion on the wear/tear if the YG vintage 5 motif bracelet? (Your WG SO one is ba-na-nas)

Thank you!

Hi @LLJsmom!

No I barely wear it anymore. Motifs are too small. My daughter wants it so it stays.
- have any opinion on the wear/tear if the YG vintage 5 motif bracelet? (Your WG SO one is ba-na-nas)
Hammered gold motifs are as durable and wearable as you can get with VCA. MY WG and RG hammered 5 motifs are in great shape. But even if banged up, really hard to tell.

Thank you!

Thank you. See responses embedded above.

Now that I have my Bangles I don’t wear my 5 motifs as much. But I go in phases with this. Maybe I’ll wear them more after I get bored with my bangles.

@LLJsmom -

So this thread has a few years on it at this point and I wondered if you had expanded your collection from what was in the photo on the first page? Have you ever gone down the VCA ring / earring rabbit hole? I'm not a fan of VCA on me (the vibe just doesn't work with my general style/appearance - I just don't have your lovely delicate hands / arms), but I think your collection is truly beautiful. The photo of you wearing the three yellow gold 5 motif bracelets is everything - absolutely gorgeous.

And if there have been new pieces over the years and I've missed them - my apologies!

So - anything new to add to an updated VCA family shot? I'd love to see!

Hi @mrs-b, been deep in the rabbit hole for a while now so sorry for not checking in. Surprised this thread got active again. I just recently took a pic of most of my WG pieces.


The carnelian and WG is in the separate pic.
I’ve got a couple other pendants that are worn by others. These are the ones I love the most.

My most recent acquisition is my single row diamond perlee bangle for my 25th anniversary. It’s the perfect piece for me.

Thank you @mrs-b. I do love my pieces and find them extremely wearable. Though VCA is not for you I appreciate your support and thoughtfulness. I am looking forward to your eventual 3 stone iteration of your ering!!

What a collection.. each piece more gorgeous than the next. You could open a store!

The pieces in this picture are so soothing.
I can feel myself relax looking at this photo.

I’m happy to startup the thread again and be rewarded with more eye candy and expertise!

Hi LLJ,

I just fainted over the carnelian and white gold. Literally dead on the floor. I told my husband I MUST have one. I think it’s my dream bracelet. He’s contacting the SA as soon as store opens. I just really hope it can be custom made for me as well.

Thanks for the beautiful inspiration !

LLJsmom’s carnelian + WG is one of my all time faves. So rich and luxurious
