The VCA Holiday Pendants are a favorite among our fine jewelry experts
Annie Van Lenten is the Fine Jewelry Authentication Manager for FASHIONPHILE
The 2013 Malachite version is my favorite of the entire holiday collection. Malachite can help to combat stress and negative energy. It’s said to help the wearer feel more confident in the face of uncertainty, helping them to ultimately embrace change! Malachite either has banded or concentric patterns that visually set it apart from other gems and only comes in shades of green, with the deeper emerald hues being most valuable, and VCA is simply THE BEST at utilizing this stone’s physical properties in a truly luxurious way!

My personal #1 favorite is this year’s (2023) because sheen obsidian erupts at volcanoes, and it’s one of my favorite stones in geology or gemology!
