Btw, from my understanding, it is illegal to purchase/sell counterfeit products in Canada (and most of the world).

LOL, these "fake VCA bracelets" are hanging in the windows of lots of jewellers.
Again VCA does not own the design so they are perfectly legal.
Lots of brands like to haze people and pretend they own certain styles. No they don't. And when it comes to jewelry nobody cares really about their claims, which is why the souks of the world are full of quality 18k and up replicas.

These various influencers who claim to be VCA experts are hilarious to me. They do not have extensive knowledge and I would never trust anything they say. As I’ve been building my collection I have relied heavily on the expertise of our group. The ladies are a wealth of knowledge and their collections and opinions are the only ones I trust.

That some e-hoe sustaining herself with foot fetish (and worse) and a VCA neurosis is posing as an expert, and OCDing about screenshots, counting lines on a guilloché (for which she is certainly right, TBH)... That's crazy, bizarre and hilarious all at the same time...
 
LOL!!
Now that's some tea! ☕🫖
I am not surprised, she looks and sounds too mentally unstable really, what with the bizarre dramas with every SA's etc. There is one super long dramatic cringe-fest about a pair of earrings... No wonder, she is probably insecure because of her *profession".

Maytal (StyleHard) is a married mother of two, the kids are real, you sometimes see them, the husband is real (obviously, LOL), she lives in Toronto, that's real too, you can see sometimes images. At some point she tried Vlogging so you could see details of her life.

To the people who think that because she lied about a bracelet, then everything about her is false, that's delusional. She probably got herself a little 18k replica that cost half to save some and that's wise.

However, she clearly is comfortable financially; the inside of her house is quite upscale, they have a cabin by the lake with boats, she does have enough real jewelry to warrant taking them to a coffer in a bank vault, she did work in styling in the past, she even had some drama with some rapper she styled once, then she held a resale store, she has a huge collection of Louboutins, she has lots of designer items that look real, sh has always be transparent about doing high-low with her clothing, she clearly does not need to have a full time job nowadays (which is a saying a lot) and of course, she does not need to be doing Onlyfans for her jewelry!!! LOL!

She is just some stylish upper middle class mom trying a bit too hard to be relevant and who sometimes cuts corners. No big deal for me. I think getting into TikTok messed her up. It changed her tone and perspective. Clearly the target audience is different and it showed. Still, she is not spreading it for money, which for me is a massive red line.

But really, this whole affair is getting too bizarre... WTF?
hi. we are just having fun and being entertained by the cat fight over the guilloche bracelet fiasco.

we know nothing personal about these ladies except what they choose to disclose. so why the personal putting down of a stranger?

also, how do you know stylehard stores her jewelry at the bank? has she done a vlog to the bak vault? (lol) in one of her videos she mentioned that she has a safe in her house for jewelry 🤷‍♀️

i think she will survive this incident. a quick scroll through her video’s comments will show lots comments from people who still support her and don't care that they were lied to.
 
I watched Meytal's previous everyday jewelry collection from last year where she first shows the the VCA bracelet in question - she does post photos from the store then says she "ended up splurging on it", no mention of hubby gifted it. Interesting. I still wish she'd make a video addressing her $9000 serpenti ring and $50,000 alleged love bracelet shown on tiktok.

Anyways,

I totally agree with the posts about influencers selling a facade. In a way, I think those producing in this Lux content have to unless they are just filthy rich. Which, lets be real, how many women with hundreds of millions or billions are on Youtube? Or making mean, judgemental viral tiktok videos for all their/their husband's business partners/investors and clients to see?

Viewers get bored with the same ole content on the same ole 3 bags an influencer have. They always crave more. Most influencers seem to be online with the intention of gaining popularity for future sponsorships. For me, it's taken the fun out of some of their content. I have started gravitating more towards commentary videos lately. I enjoy Youtube more than other platforms, but I don't like how commercialized it has become. I am not interested in lab grown diamonds from Idyl or whatever else these lux youtubers are pushing. They ALL advertise the same things, too. It's very annoying.

I also don't care much about Sib's controversial occupation or side hustle - there's a few others in lux Youtube who have opened up about being in similar lines of work. I think some start YT with the hopes of pivoting out of that lifestyle and being able to replace their income with brand deals. Personally, I don't care one bit how they make their money for designer items as long as they (or their spouses) are not harming innocent people in the process (and ideally not lying to their viewers). I have more respect for a woman making her money on OnlyFans than I do a businessman making his money from arson.
I agree… I mean there are people I know who are making close to 6 figures per month, they already own a car and home and therefore just have income to purchase whatever they like.
 
also, how do you know stylehard stores her jewelry at the bank? has she done a vlog to the bak vault? (lol) in one of her videos she mentioned that she has a safe in her house for jewelry 🤷‍♀️

A safe at the bank comes as cheap as 200$ a year. Why lie about that? She says in one of videos she keeps some of her jewelry there.

Home safe as cheap and easy to install. Even Home Depot has done for under 500$. Nothing fancy there.

Why would anyone lie about these?
 
I'd rather be a hoe with real VCA than a faux with faux VCA - where there is smoke there is fire - I am sure SH has other counterfeit in her possession. The innocent act does not compute - and I see right thru that. I side with SM - she may be a hoe - but she is pretty/sexy/funny/cute and buys a ton of VCA and knows alot about it. She also has thick skin - she has been treated poorly by VCA SA's, called delusional by VCA, has had to deal with unfair return policies, and is not ashamed of who she is. I have watched her for many years before her VCA content and I just adore her personality. She had more hoeish content back then as well before she switched her channel. In conclusion I love her taste in jewelry and how she comes to her conclusions of what she is looking to purchase and what she expects from the brand. Her jewelry is immaculate by the way. I have never seen such beautiful malachite in my life - her three motif's are much shinier than mine.
 
You seem to forget that it’s the guilloché e-hoe herself who started the whole affair. Not the other one. And the mean spiritedness is dripping from all over her in the video.
Exactly. The whole tone of her video was vindictive and mean. If she had a different approach (maybe a more inquisitive tone) then I’d have more respect for her.
Now people here are questioning StyleHard’s integrity and coming to conclusions that all her stuff is fake…but at the same time talking about not being so judge mental towards Mirage. It’s hypocritical.

I respectfully disagree here^^ Mirage has never tried to pretend she is something she is not. She does not wear counterfeit, does not give out advice that goes against what VCA suggests for after-care. Mirage discloses the VCA boutiques she shops in and has given out her SA's contact information. Mirage is not the person who showed counterfeit to pretend its real nor did Mirage do a cover-up video showing her husband looking for receipts that were never produced. If SH wore fake and claimed it was fake people could make assumptions of wheter or not they want to follow her or not. I see people all of NYC wearing fake and real VCA - who cares? I don't. I take offense when someone makes a video as an influencer giving advice that can harm the actual jewelry - forget about who she associates with IRL.
 
I really enjoy Sibylla Mirage’s videos about VCA. especially when she does a deep dive into each piece. its apparent that her content is well researched as she offers a ton of info. not many others showcase a large VCA collection and authentic love for the brand.

black and gold style also offers very detailed videos about her beautiful van cleef collection. she does more voice-over-style videos which i enjoy listening to as well.

I like black and gold style too! Her videos have helped me finalize purchases from VCA.
 
I had no idea. Only Fans? Or stripper? I went on google and typed in her name but no indecent images.
Sibylla here! #1 Never done OnlyFans, stripping, nudity, etc., BUT registered my name on Fans, so no one would use it and make money off of my pics. #2 Never sold my bunion feet pics, but had them taken from my IG and reposted on some website, without my authorization. I wish they paid me tho... That's why since then, my IG is private. Good day guys, have fun <3
