So happy to own this as of today! Ltd Ed 2015 pink sevres holiday pendant. It’s my baby gift to commemorate 3rd baby girl arriving soon! It’s at VCA now getting extended slightly and having the clasp replaced to the flat, current one (I’m crazy and want the clasp to match my 5 and 10 motif lol) Should only take 10 days and was reasonable price too.

Hi balanciagaplaneT! Can I please ask about your pink holiday limited edition one and if yours started also with JE5xxxxx? I bought one but it hasn’t arrived yet and hoping to ask how to go about making sure it’s an authentic pre-loved one . Thank you!

Hi Pazt! Newbie here and I just bought a pink sevre holiday pendant from a jeweler. I am so new and afraid I am perhaps not knowledgeable enough to know if it’s a genuine one or not. I would love to hear if yours starts with JE5xxxxx like mine. I heard that the same series should be starting with similar numbers. Is this rumour or myths?

Be careful. This is one of the most faked VCA items. Make sure to include the ~$1500 VCA authentication fee in your budget.

Oh dear thanks for the warning. It looks quite good but since I am new yes I want to be sure. I already got Real to do an online authentication but not sure how good they are. Do you know how long it takes to send it away or authentication? I would be so sad if it comes back negative :/

Do you mind sharing info re the seller?
It is true that these pendants are often faked.
It’s a huge problem nowadays.

Thanks for your reply texasgirliegirl! I got it from a jeweler called court & covet which I think used to be called fabrikant and sons. They have a brick and mortar store in nyc apparently but I am not there. They have a decent return policy. Do you know them? I am trying to be as diligent as I can. Just wondering if any of the ladies on here can shed some light on the serial number as basically I found 2-3 others for sale in the past and they all started with JE3xxxxx but mine is JE5xxxxx which seems odd? I would think the same series especially limited editions such as these will all start at least with the same first number. Hoping some owners will help me out here and based on that I might just not go forward with this sale as it’s too strange to have this difference. But again I am new so maybe the serial numbers are completely random with VCA.

I don’t wish to worry you but purchasing from one of these resellers would just make me nervous. I’m sorry. Please be sure that they give you a liberal return window and DO get it authenticated at VCA.
While we can share clues re serial numbers those are easily faked.
Btw, the pendant should be porcelain and not enamel.

Yes I actually haven’t received it yet as they are going to send it to me when I am back in California. I love it so much but I am wondering if i should leave it just in the worst case that it’s too much trouble to return etc. When you mean there are many fakes do you mean in this particular pink porcelain or just the Alhambra line in general? I plan to buy all my others from the boutique. It’s just this pink one that really tugs at me ahhhh

This discussion is completely off-topic.
Further, this is not the appropriate place to be discussing authentication. There should be nothing about authentication on this thread, And any details presented here only gives the people who produce fakes more information to go on.. Authentication questions need to be limited to The authentication threads only.
