Advice needed!

I like the VCA better but I agree with those who said the sweet is small. They make that same necklace in the larger (vintage) size, as well as a holiday piece in the vintage size. I’d check those out.

I’m not a fan of VCA in general, but I think the VCA necklace you posted looks a lot better than the Cartier.

Good luck!

Thank you for all the replies!

Still undecided

Agreed

I actually like the Cartier on you as agree with the others that a single sweets is too small and may get lost.

I like the Cartier better than the Sweet VCA.

Hello All

Due to working from home and ensuring savings I have decided to splurge ...

which of these would you go for - Van Cleef Sweet Alhambra with diamonds or Cartier Love?

Apologies for the terrible pictures!

The VCA necklace and love bracelet are both lovely so think of it this way..it’s mainly others that will be able to see and admire your necklace (unless you walk around with a mirror all the time), whereas one glance at your wrist (whether others are around or not) and you are admiring your bracelet.

VCA!
And I don’t think the sweet size is too small on you for a delicate everyday necklace... especially with diamonds!

I prefer Cartier on you! Or you can go for VA pave
I feel sweet size is more for people who are in their early 20s lol

Nurse Ratchett, I'm curious to hear what you decided on!

Vancleef

The VCA necklace and Love are both lovely. I just consider the Cartier piece a bit more mature

The Cartier has a better proportion for you, but I don't prefer the style, and the sweet looks a little lost. For the price, the Trinity looks good, too https://www.cartier.com/en-us/colle...ier/b7218200-trinity-de-cartier-necklace.html Also these are in your budget and similar but a big more substantial than the Sweet (don't hate me Sweet fans... it just looks a bit small on her). https://www.bulgari.com/en-us/350553.html Also, if you are considering the Love, and you have that extra budget, the Alhambra necklace is a good scale for you, will likely hold its value, and could be really pretty.
