[@aliciascorner4902]

I love the packaging so pretty 💚love your top your bracelet is so pretty ❤

[@HandbagFoodie]

Was so excited to see this video and your new piece! I absolutely love it! I am really interested in adding gold guilloche 5 motif (even though I do think the MOP is beautiful) 🤩. Congrats on adding it! 🫶🏼

[@CapeCodBelle]

Very pretty bracelet!! It's looks beautiful on you. I have the chalcedony pendant and it's my most worn VCA piece.

[@MsEasyBeautiful]

Looks amazing! I love it!

[@starbluewhitered]

The bracelet is beautiful. This shade of red is perfect.

[@CocoaKitten-yf4ht]

So glad you got it is so pretty and just and an amazing piece of jewelry.

[@Somidoshop]

Thank you for watching!! 🥰

[@Lisa-pq1lm]

Omg that’s so perfect on you! Congrats 💗

[@Somidoshop]

Thank you!! 💕💕

[@lucyylou]

It's such a beautiful piece

[@lookitsliena]

carnelian is a breathtaking stone esp with the colour variations, I have the sweet alhambra carnelian bracelet on my wishlist 😍 it looks wonderful on you, congrats!

[@Somidoshop]

Many of my friends have the sweet carnelian either bracelet or necklace, it is so beautiful!! 🥰🥰

[@qianemily]

Omg, this was my first VCA 5 motif purchase as well! It looks stunning on you!

[@Somidoshop]

VCA twins!! 🥰🥰 it is truly beautiful 🥹

[@appleyap6062]

Hi, I got the same bracelet last week. Instead of resizing it, I choose to twist the bracelet to the desire length for my wrist and I can space the length between each motif equally. Plus I can wear it as a choker with the extension chain.

[@KC-ox1cc]

Twisting the chain over an extended period of time can cause breakage of a link… not a great idea and it looks ugly too…

[@appleyap6062]

Good to known..thx

[@africocoalux722]

So beautiful!

[@ebud]

Wow it's so beautiful ❤

[@elizabethm72]

It's so beautiful😍🤩

[@daphxu]

Hi! Beautiful bracelet 😊 looks lovely on you! I was just wondering whether you were also considering the full 5 motif carnelian bracelet?

[@Somidoshop]

Thank you!!! And no, I was not considering any solely vintage sized carnelian pieces as those are only offered in yellow gold. I definitely wanted rose gold and guilloche!

[@msfanyafanya]

From what I know carnelians have two spectrums either it is lighter a bit of orange-ish, or darker more warm maroon-ish like the one you got (which in my opinion is so much better). I got a carnelian bracelet too from VCA but it is the Sweet Hearts Bracelet (I’m a rose gold girlie too!). Love it so much. Oh on another note, just want to say hi to you and thank you for the H tips! I am now half way on my journey and hope to learn more from your videos 😊

[@Somidoshop]

Thank you so much for your sweet comment!! I recently saw a friend wearing her sweet heart necklace in carnelian and I thought it was the cutest thing ever ♥️ Hope to hear some good news from you about your H journey!! I’m sure your dream bag is right around the corner 🤭

[@msfanyafanya]

@@Somidoshop thank you for cheering me on on the H journey :) I got an offer for a non QB (evelyne TPM) just a couple days back. Yeay! Although I heard that accepting non QB offers will delay QB (idk if this is 100% true or not?), not regretting my decision for accepting the evelyne TPM. It’s so cute and versatile, and I’m buying what I like (and will use) :)

[@QU33NK0NG]

That red looks so nice on you. The red will make me so yellow. I’m toward yellow undertones

[@shay3947]

Wow 🤩 very nice

[@eryntokidoki6568]

Hi, I love your RG 5 motifs bracelet, so cute. Are you going to get more VCA bracelets? I find guilloché seems best for daily wear as I don't have to worry about the precious inlays. My RGs seems very easy to style compare to YG or WG😃 Thanks for sharing!

[@Somidoshop]

Yes!! Can never have too many 5-motifs 🤭 after I am engaged I will add a white gold one next! I’m also waiting for pietersite to be released again 🥹 the photos look so stunning and it’s a lovely cool tone alternative to onyx. Which 5-motif in your collection is your favorite?? 🥰

[@eryntokidoki6568]

Can't wait to see your White Gold 5-motifs😄 My 5-mortifs favorite: White Gold = guilloché and Pietersite (a tie), Rose Gold = Silver Obsidian, Yellow Gold = Malachite. I find it's fun to have different metal colors 5-motifs to go with different outfits 😆

[@kristinam.p.5058]

I have to size to 15! I have to go into the store & figure it out.

[@ShirleyDu1124]

How would you compare the 5 motifs VS the 6 motifs?

[@Somidoshop]

6 motif is cute and more daily imo!! But if you’re looking for a stone then the 5 motif would have to be the way to go since I believe the 6 motifs are only made in solid gold!

[@00gnv00]

Omgggg I LOVE the 5 motif rose gold on you! It look sooo good against your skin!😍Thanks for the tips about resizing, I really want to invest in my first 5 motif but I wasn't sure about the resizing. I see some other people using chain extender and turning their 5 motif into a choker necklace. Which I thought it was such a good idea. So that's one reason why I don't want to resize the bracelet. However, at the same time I don't like a loose bracelet as well.😅 What's your thought about turning your 5 motif into a choker? Thanks for the discount for Lilysilk, I've have a few of their items and I love them so much!😍Definitely will be using your code!😊

[@Somidoshop]

I reeeeeaaallly would’ve loved to double my 5 motif as a choker!! But unfortunately because I resized it smaller it is too short now 😭😭 I think if you keep the bracelet at its original length though it converts beautifully! 🥰 Which 5 motif were you eyeing?? And yes please do check out Lily silk!! I’ve been buying from them here and there for a couple years now, their silks are just so nice 🥹💕

[@00gnv00]

@@Somidoshop Aww reallyy. Okay, that’s good to know about the resizing. I really really want the yellow gold 5 motifs. However, I know it’s always out of stock too.☹️ But I also want to try on all the other colors motifs too. So I might be swayed if another color catches my eyes!😂

I love Carnelian! Great choice!
