[LLJsmom]

Just did it. No thought. Bolstered by a few fellow addicts. You know who you are. Thank you so much for the support ladies.
LOVE at first sight is all I have to say. I LOVE looking at it.

Thank you @diamondseeker2006. (((hug))) I know I can rely on you to be the voice of reason, yet still understand this obsession with VCA.

So beautiful. Wear it in much happiness!

Thank you @facetgirl. Honestly, I get this jolt of joy every time I look at it in my wrist.

Thank you @Phoenix . Your pieces are amazing and inspiring. I am surprised at how the butterfly seems to suit every situation.

Wow! So stunning @LLJsmom the color is magnificent and it looks gorgeous on you!

Thank you @SimoneDi. It is the color that got me.

WOW! That bracelet is stunning!

Thank you @tkyasx78 It actually is stunning. It just gets more stunning as I stare at it more.

Thank you @mol42 That rarely happens, seeing a piece and knowing that it is just YOU. It is so rare that I think I'm just imagining things. When I saw it on the first time a couple of weeks ago, I just thought, how unexpectedly pretty. Then I couldn't stop thinking about it, and I bought it within 3 weeks of seeing the chalcedony, although the version I fell in love with was the 20 motif.
When did you get the carnelian sweet? Pics? I love mine. I love staring at it too. What is it about these pieces that just GROW on you??

What's there to contemplate?!? It's drop dead gorgeous and it looks GREAT on you!!! Wear it well!!!

Thanks @Blingalingaling I never buy stuff this quickly. I usually have to think about a major purchase for at least a year. And this definitely qualifies a major for me. And not an inkling of regret either.

Thank you for your kind comments ladies, and letting me just share my joy.

Wow! It looks amazing stacked with your sweets, and the colour looks so versatile. I think sometimes the best purchases are ones we don’t agonize over. Congrats!

 

[Ally T]

Gosh, that colour!! It's amazing & looks fabulous on your skin!

 

[Dandi]

Oh my, this is so beautiful!! The colour is sensational!

 

[PierreBear]

Looks beautiful on you! Enjoy!

 

[ac117]

It's beautiful on you, congrats!!! I'm not sure if you got lucky with the color or if it's your skin color (or both) but it looks wayyyy better on you than someone I know who has the 10 motif necklace - totally flat on her.

 

[Catmom]

Gorgeous and a perfect add to the stack!

 

[natasha-cupcake]

I love chalcedony, too. Your bracelet is so pretty!

 

[Tekate]

You look cooler than cool.... it's exquisite.. I love it.. congratulations!!!

@LLJsmom well I picked up the sweet bracelet after the autumn moon festival. It was sorta accidental, certainly unintended. You see, I have the sweetest SA at NM, who sends me goodies from time to time. For Autumn Moon Festival, he sent the most gorgeous package of moon cakes and tea, with a little note asking me to stop by. So of course I had to and I ended picking up the bracelet. DH says they are the most expensive moon cakes evah!!

I think these pieces are just so beautifully made, and the more you learn about the process, the more you appreciate the craftsmanship and it’s such a Sweet pleasure to just catch a glimpse of it throughout the day (at least that’s how I rationalize it!) Do you see the chalcedony 20 motif in your future?

Thanks @lissyflo I think you're right. Funny you say that because I overthink everything. I don't know the last time I didn't agonize over a purchase.

Gosh, that colour!! It's amazing & looks fabulous on your skin!

Thank you @Alex T I am learning to appreciate color because of VCA. I have always been afraid of color.

Oh my, this is so beautiful!! The colour is sensational!

Thank you @Dandi I am surprised that color can make something so beautiful.

Looks beautiful on you! Enjoy!

Thank you @PierreBear! Hope you are doing well.

It's beautiful on you, congrats!!! I'm not sure if you got lucky with the color or if it's your skin color (or both) but it looks wayyyy better on you than someone I know who has the 10 motif necklace - totally flat on her.

Thank you @ac117 I think I did get quite lucky. He ordered it from NY and it was the only piece they had so I am fortunate that the color is so discernable on this piece. I think color of skin does affect how it looks to the viewer. Because of it's translucency the skin tone makes a difference.

Gorgeous and a perfect add to the stack!

Thank you @Catmom. Your beautiful colorful pieces inspire me.

I love chalcedony, too. Your bracelet is so pretty!

Thank you @natasha-cupcake I just recently within the past year learned how pretty chalcedony can be.

You look cooler than cool.... it's exquisite.. I love it.. congratulations!!!

Thank you @Tekate I know what you mean. I think the shade of lavenderish-lilac gives the color a very cool feel. And the WG helps as well.

Gorgeous perfection!
And it looks amazing on you. Meant to be yours.

Thank you@missy I will finally stop sending random I-need-to-go-bling-shopping texts in the middle of the day.

Thank you @junebug17. When are you adding one to your collection??

Simply lovely!

Thank you @DorotheaBrooke!

Very lovely - you have a great collection, enjoy!

Thank you @Queenie60. This part is fun, the building a collection part. Hard to control myself because I want EVERYTHING.

 

[LLJsmom]

It’s gorgoeus and looks wonderful on you. Enjoy.

Thanks @marcy. I will chill for a while now... and not send out those I-Need-Bling texts!

Hi @Phoenix, here are some more pics.

 

[Phoenix]

I know what you mean. I love it. Here is the 10 motif. I WANT!!


And here it is with the white MOP IN WG. I prefer the chalcedony. But I would like to add the WG with white MOP.
