sure you are not getting something that is not authentic. Ebay is full of fake vintage Alhambra. Usually the seller has 0 feedback. Check the source and do all your research. If you want to reassure yourself after you receive the preloved piece you can always send it to VCA in NYC and tell Riley that you want it polished or adjusted or if you need to upgrade the clasp, etc. That way you will know it is authentic because of course VCA will reject it to have work done if it is not authentic. I did that with both my pieces - The earring posts needed to be adjusted and I needed a new updated clasp on my bracelet. It only takes about 7 - 10 working days and it is fun getting it back from NYC looking like a brand new piece!! Good luck!
Depends on the item.Thank you ! Do they want proof of purchase or authenticity certificate to polish or repair?
It's all about the seller - and a history of authenticity...Definitely, all my VCA is preloved but I have the certificates and boxes and I know my seller is legit.
