I have the sweet clover in mother of pearl. This definitely persuaded me to get the other sweet bracelets. The vintage 5 motif looks so disproportionate to my small wrists. Love the look of the layered charm bracelets! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for sharing! I purchased the VCA bracelet in rose gold because I loved how carefree I could be with it! That said, the carnelian is lovely and might be worth a second look!
@theendoftheworldasweknowit9894 I wear them daily 24/7 and have for a few years now. Never had an issue. The chains are for sure delicate-looking and small, but seem to be holding up fine. They are made very well imo and I do abuse mine I would say -- I just wear them and don't worry so I know they hold up to daily wear and lots of activities.
would you say the 6 motif bracelet is more shiny or matte? I love the sizes of the motifs but am always going back and forth because it always look so matte in pictures. Love you stack btw! the carnelian and 6 motif are definitely keepers
Great question @toki7111 -- the shiny part of the VCA bracelets are really the chains, so in the chain parts sparkle quite a bit on the 6 motif. But you're probably right in your assessment. Looking at it right now the motifs themselves are muted, they definitely don't have a high shine to them.
Hello, do you swim in pools or beaches with your hammered rose gold or carnelian VCA bracelet? If you do, how has your bracelet held up so far? Just wanted to know how durable the bracelet is as I know that exposure to chlorine is quite harmful for jewelry.
@violayola4901 Pools, yes, but not too often. I wear it 24/7 year after year so likely other things would cause damage first before chlorine (like lotions, oils, sanitizer, etc). So far nothing has damaged (to the naked eye) and no repairs have been needed.
Great video! Do you ever find that the motifs (on the single motif bracelets) ever rotate and end up on the underside of your wrist? I’ve had that happen with bracelets if they’re not tight enough, and it drives me crazy, lol
marleecarol They do rotate underneath from time to time since I got them larger... it just gives me something to play with during the day as I turn them back around. I prefer a very loose fit so I don't let it bother me 🙂🙂
Hi, thanks for sharing your stack! How's the sweet carnelian holding up with you? Any issues swimming/showering with it or using it daily? Thanks a lot!
@saraa6378 They all seem to be fine with no issues. I don't have the ability to see detail as a jeweler would, but the stone is fine and doesn't appear dull or anything. The bracelet is still shiny, too.
@LeNgaNga-ok4pw The gold one because (with the 6 motifs) the chain is thicker than the ones with a single gemstone. The chain on the carnelian is much thinner and doesn't have the same visual impact. But they both shine really nicely when polished! hth.
@clowncat0712 They don't make it anymore so it was hard to locate. It was probably mentioned in the video where I got it -- I usually say but don't recall offhand.
@SHYNA69 I would say no. I wear them 24/7 and never take them off and haven't for years now. Nothing has ever happened and I'm not gentle with them. They are much stronger than they appear. I worry much more about the 5 motif b/c the larger stones can get in the way sometimes.
One more question though or rather advice, I’m going to use it 24/7 too but would you choose the MOP Sweet Alahmbra or Carneilian if you. An only choose one?
@SHYNA69 For me it'd be the carnelian. It stands out more against the gold chain -- the MOP is more elegant and subdued. If you want it to be noticed the red makes more of a visual impact, if you want to be more delicate overall, then the MOP. And consider your skin tone - for me the red looks best since I'm very pale, the MOP blends in more.
@@SHYNA69 The Carnelian is more resistant, I have seen on a blog (LDJ) a guide with the stone hardness and it´s one of the best choices also the Sales Assistant told me that she never got one for repair.
Ally Rae they all came from different stores at different times, not just one place. I got one from Fashionphile and one from Yoogis and the others from local consignment.
I own the VCA in rose gold (1 motif) and love her! Your stack is gorgeous! Just curious, if you’re still interested in selling any of the bracelets as indicated in the video?
@@jaymejay1 I’ve been eyeing it but going back and forth I weather or not it’s worth it since for about 1k more I would be able to get the 5 motif bracelet 🙃 it is so cute imo
@Toryb168 The single motif bracelets look so delicate and are perfect for everyday wear. I wear my 5-motif daily, too, but if you plan to use them more sparingly then a 1-motif might be better?

Congrats on your purchase wiam2cute4you -- they are al lovely choices. I've added some more since this was filmed.
💝I Love the Pink heart one my friend 🤗 Have A Fun Weekend 💕
Thank you @sandraboyle2520
Wow haven’t seen the MOP heart before thanks for sharing
You’re welcome f5371p 😊 They stopped making the white heart several years ago... not sure why, it's beautiful!
I think they are beautiful but how strong are they? The chains seem so thin it kinda worries me.😕

@@jaymejay1 thanks so much! I think as long as the chain is sparkly, that's sparkly enough for me 😍
It is super matte! The video shows it well. So definitely look at it in store before buying it.
Beautiful ❤
Thank you! 😊

@@jaymejay1 thank you so much for your quick feedback!
For how long now are you wearing the carnelian? It looks really nice!
@Ca-jz7lk I've worn it every day since I've bought it. I never ever take it off -- going on 2 years now.
@@jaymejay1 awesome, really helpful to know that this stone lasts well if used every day! thanks a lot!
Can I ask which is more shiny the red or the gold
Want to have my very first vca but can’t decide
Thanks
@LeNgaNga-ok4pw The gold one because (with the 6 motifs) the chain is thicker than the ones with a single gemstone. The chain on the carnelian is much thinner and doesn't have the same visual impact. But they both shine really nicely when polished! hth.
Where did you get the mother of pearl heart? I can’t seem to find them.
@clowncat0712 They don't make it anymore so it was hard to locate. It was probably mentioned in the video where I got it -- I usually say but don't recall offhand.
Is the 6 motifs rose gold or yellow gold?
@natc762 Rose
Are the single ones extremely delicate for the chain to break?
@SHYNA69 I would say no. I wear them 24/7 and never take them off and haven't for years now. Nothing has ever happened and I'm not gentle with them. They are much stronger than they appear. I worry much more about the 5 motif b/c the larger stones can get in the way sometimes.

Love your stack!!! What website did you get your collection? You said you got on resale? Could you share the company please?

@wiam2cute4you Thanks for watching. I sold one about a year ago already, I have kept all my others w/no intention to sell. I like them all too much!
Which one did you end up selling
@tahneeblazekovic7634 I let go the turquoise butterfly and got the 5 motif blue agate in its place
Have you ever considered the Sweet Alhambra bracelet, 1 motif in white gold ?
@Toryb168 No, I haven't. I do like mixing metals but not so much with VCA pieces.

It’s expensive though
