No not at all. My MOP Alhambra bracelet only took 2 days! They do have to send it to NY (if you don't live there). I actually just dropped this off today and they said max 10 business days but I doubt it will take that long. They will also send it directly to your house if you prefer :)

I just received this in RG for my birthday from DH! Absolutely love it going to pop into VCA this week to see if I should get it shortened like I did wmy vintage Alhambra bracelet. So comfy and really does have the perfect amount of sparkle!!

Thank you so much for sharing! What a thoughtful DH. :) Happy birthday!

Could you share a before/after shortening photo? I'm thinking of pulling the trigger before price increase, and would also need to get it shortened. Also, does it ever catch on anything, or get grabbed by your(?) baby? It looks really beautiful on your wrist!

I'm still waiting for it to come back but I will share for sure! My SA was out for a week so it has taken longer than last time. No she doesn't touch my bracelets - necklaces are another story ...

Haha, got it... necklaces are the thing to watch out for!

Do you know how much they're shortening it by? How many links are they removing, and do you get to keep the extra links? I wonder how they'd shorten it so it's even between all the motifs. I bought mine yesterday, and am thinking I'd rather shorten it than wear it by clipping at the clover (seems like it might be more easily broken this way), but each link is 1.5mm and to shorten it by 16mm isn't divisible by 6...

Hope you get yours back soon!

I just got the bracelet back - much better! Looks like they took out 4 links btwn each motif... there are now 11 links between each. It still is loose- didn't want it to be snug but not too loose like it was before- my SA said she was sending the links but I didn't see them in the pouch (they usually send them back to you). Here is a pic of what it looks like now:

This is on my list too! Has anyone stacked it with a regular love? I'm thinking maybe it won't go together since the regular love is so much thicker looking...

Thank you so much for the pic!! Did you get the extra links back yet? I guess they took out 10 links, 2 between each motif except for the clasp (from 13 links to 11).That's how much I'd like to shorten mine by, I've worked out that should shorten it from 7" to 6.4" total length. :D Guess yours is 6.4" now?

Well if no one has a reply, I guess I'll try to help... BUT keep in mind 1) that is a fake $5 love off the street, and 2) I've already decided the size doesn't work on me. So, your mileage may vary. I think it looks alright together, even if the regular love doesn't do me any favors! Why not go try it on in store?

It looks lovely the way you've stacked it with some silver/wg jewelry too!

Oh thanks! It's 999 silver, super shiny. :D I didn't take it off since it doesn't have a hinge and is literally a small pain to remove. In daily wear though I wear the sweet on the other hand because personally I don't enjoy the feeling of mixing bangle + bracelet. They grate each other in a way that grinds my nerves, and I don't even care about scratches on jewelry. Again, your mileage may vary!

6 motif sweet pave bracelet. A wonderful every day bracelet that requires no concern, or care. Just put it on, and enjoy! I took out about 12 links as my wrists are ridiculously tiny.IMG_4828.JPG

I know this is not the most popular choice but just love the sweet for an everyday subtle bling. I am still considering purchasing the 5 motif pave for when I want to ramp things up a bit. I'm rather conservative with my daytime jewelry.

Any regrets about shortening your bracelet? Like you I have small wrists. I'm so thrilled about the bracelet now I'm afraid to alter it in anyway.

You got the bracelet!! Congratulations :)
No I don't have any regrets but it is all personal preference. I like my every day bracelets to move around a little bit but not too much so it is more comfortable. I can comfortably slide my index finger in between my wrist and bracelet so to me that is perfect movement + comfort. If you're not sure, wear the bracelet for a week or two before making a decision. Congratulations once again !!! xx
