2018 - 50th ANNIVERSARY of the ALHAMBRA

[gagabag]

I am so tempted to look at this in person. But I must resist!

 

[Alena21]

thanks for this price list. With the 5 motifs costing slightly more than the 2 motifs earrings, unless the weight of the gold between 5 and 2 is close, common sense compels me to go for the bracelet. Does anyone know how heavy the pieces are? If not, would it be odd if I bring my kitchen scale to VCA in my next visit?

I also took home the guilloché bracelet today. It’s really hard to capture the details in a photo but here’s my best attempt.

Thank you! But I’m sure you know resistance is futile right?

Ahahaha if it helps you decide, why not! [emoji23]

I went to see this collection today and I must say all the pieces are absolutely stunning in person. I initially intended to order the earrings only but after trying the bracelets I gave in and ordered that as well. The 5 motifs is heavier than the earrings but I did not pay close attention as to how heavy. I did, however, compare the Guilloche earrings with the Mother of Pearl earrings and the Guilloche ones are quite a lot heavier.

Here are some pics:

Very appealing! I like how blingy and shiny they are! Hope they stay like this. Keep us posted on wear and tear!I hate to have to baby my jewelry

I'm going to have to check it out in person I'm contemplating btw this one and the hammered YG collection.
I think the earrings will go very well with the Holiday Pendant 2018. But I must stop buying earrings. Lol

Ohh!!! Would be interested to know your decision! I have been humming about Alhambra earrings for the longest time. Lol

You've captured the beauty of these pieces very well. I took some photos but mine are lousy, so will not post them here.

I too had intended to get the earrings, but fell in love with the bracelet, so I got that instead. The earrings did seem to look as nice on me.

Another beautiful pic.

I actually was going to get the earrings to match with the holiday pendant. And although my pendant is on the deep golden side, the earrings are a much more intense yellow gold.

This is so beautiful, a perfect comparison shot!

Wow, these guilloche pics are stunning! I’m trying to resist. Love the bling (as usual). Is it me, or do the necklace motifs appear larger in the guilloche? I’m not saying they actually are, but it’s almost like you can see that they are more substantial (if that makes sense).

in regards to the blue agate pieces...if you guys ever travel to Asia, def look it up here, don't think it's that hard at all. My sa had a few before the launch but i decided not to get it....i have SA in Taiwan & HK and it seems readily avail and no deposit was required at all.

I’m in Tokyo now and I saw three blue agate bracelets today in the main boutique and bought one of them so there should be two left!’ They also had the 10 motif necklace. They also had quite a few of the Guilloche pieces.

Bought the guilloche bracelet too. It’s so pretty. Having some links taken out.

They def look and feel more substantial than the hammered YG. I didn’t try the bracelet as I was cautioned you should wear it alone not mixed with others. She said they were told to be transparent about the delicate nature of the motifs. I am hoping they are hardier than they made them out to be. I don’t need another bracelet though, do I ?
