Anyone else gets irritated by the chain twisting while wearing? Is it a design flaw? Am finding the twisting (and having to constantly untwist the chain) quite irritating... I mean, I just wear it to go shopping and not to do any sports so really cannot understand why it twists so much.
Hmmm...sounds odd. Never had that problem with any of my alhambra pendants. It's not supposed to. I would personally bring it into a boutique and show the S.A just incase yours has a defective clasp. I would imagine the repair would be free.

mine twists as well. I've embraced it by now. At first I thought it was because I layered it with my c de cartier necklace but after wearing it on its own it still starts out long and ends up like a choker.

This happens with my vintage MOP pendant too, and it is super annoying. I didn't get the chain lengthened just to still end up with a choker after a few hours! :rolleyes: I haven't figured out a way to stop it yet, but I think it has something to do with the fact that the motif is stationary and can't slide around to accommodate your movements the way a non-stationary pendant can. That's just my guess though so I would love to know if anyone has found a way to address this!

So I assume this is still an issue even with a 2 inch chain extension?

Yep, unfortunately. I mean, it helps so that as it's twisting, it takes a little longer before the chain gets to the point of being snug on my neck (if I don't stop and readjust it), but the problem itself is still there.

Yeah, I even added a separate chain extension so that it’s even longer (on an already extended chain) but it still twists. Just doesn’t choke me any more.

Ok if it’s not just me alone then I guess it’s a design issue. Never really had this problem with other pendants that are on a bail... but of course the clasp slides down and then have to adjust it back to the back.

With the VCA holiday pendant the clasp stays behind but the twisting is just super annoying (and uncomfortable when it twists too much/is too short). If anyone has a solution pls share!

Just got one too! Will post pictures shortly!!!! Quick question though : how’s it holding as an everyday piece? My SA said it’s quite delicate and may lose its shine.... is everyone wearing it on and off or every day????
