    Butterfly was my 2nd vca piece. I fell out of love after abt one year. Same feeling - pendant too small for ‘grown ups”. Upgraded to magic onyx long chain and never looked back.

    Hello, Jen. You have a lovely VCA collection 😍 I’m planning to get my first VCA and I enjoy watching your videos. I’m still undecided to get which necklace with pendant.
    Like the MOP but thinking of getting one that I can wear 24/7 for my first VCA. Maybe vintage Alhambra carnelian. Will go to the boutique to try and then decide. 😃

    I have the Vintage holiday mother of pearl with Diamond but seeing this video again oh no I think I have to go try on because the white gold is SLO’s looks best mop in the white because like you said it makes the vintage size look bigger without too big and more understated. Okay you are not helping my piggy bank 😅😅😅 ps your ears are perfect!

    Hi Jen, you mentioned you had your Carnelian bracelet 24/7, you showered and exercised with it. How is it holding up today? Did you notice any shrinkages? I want to get Carnelian too, and I do not want to keep taking it off every time I shower. Currently I have the Guilloche bracelet and I wear 24/7.

    Would you recommend different types of stone for pendant and bracelet? Or you would prefer to wear them in similar stone?

    • @jenluxe

      Hmm I think it’s ok to mix Eg I don’t have a carnelian pendant yet 😆😆

  • @petitestylesbygem3058

    Hi Jen, I recently got a sweet alhambra in Carnelian as well. From watching your VCA videos I recall you shower with your 5 motif carnelian bracelet, if I may ask, do you by any chance use a loofa or any exfoliator and did it do anything at all on the stones of your bracelet? Im asking because I do use a luufa religiously😅 and I plan on wearing the bracelet regularly even in the shower, my concern is the luufa will scratch the stone… I hope tO hear back! Thanks for your helpful videos! And love your collections! 🥰 oh and Im Gem by the way🥰

    • @jenluxe
      @jenluxe  Před rokem

      Hi gem congrats! I would not use the loofah on the bracelet at all 😊 I didn’t cover them but I avoid purposely getting soap on the stones … hope that helps!

    Hi! Came across your video while searching for bracelets . The white gold mop looks so pretty . Are the clip backs on the earrings comfortable? I've had omega backs & they were so uncomfortable after an hour or 2 .

    I purchased the Carnelian motif bracelet as well. I understand it's a very great stone and will last better without changing colors.
    I sold my Mother of pearl and black onyx bracelets. I just wasn't wearing them. Too difficult to put on and take off. I do love the Red Carnelian as well. I sold my GUILLOCHE as well. I found I have enough Yellow gold bracelets.
    The red is lovely 😍
    ENJOY!

    Hello, I finally got the 5 motif! I am size 14 in Cartier and the SA recommended shortening the links (12 links) even though I said I don’t mind one motif dangling.
    Currently the SA said i cld remove 4 links in total (1cm) each such that I can have it shortened slightly so I can still have one motif dangling. If you have any thoughts I’d love to hear! Thank youuu. Shld I remove 4 links! 😝
