I'm really curious about all of the rock crystal Alhambra I'm seeing pop up here. If you have a piece of rock crystal Alhambra, could you please post a photo? I'd also love to know where and when you got it. Did you get it from your SA or did you get it from a trusted re-seller?

Thank you!!

Became interested in it in 20218 and told my SA. I put down a deposit but it didn't come in so I used the money on something else. Out of blue I got a call in late 2019 that a set had come in and I purchased immediately. I am in the US.

Oh wow! That’s great!! So, sounds like I should tell my SA that I’m interested!! Thank you for the tip.

Thanks! I would suggest you do the same. As I said, I had given up (but did ask from time to time) and when one became available, I got the call. I think I asked in mid 2018 so the wait was over a year but it is out there and random pieces do arrive from time to time. It probably didn't hurt that they had a deposit for a bit of time as well.

It is such an interesting stone. I posted the pic with the leopard as you can see that in the necklace, it will take on the look of whatever you are wearing!

Good luck, I hope that you can get one more quickly than me!

Do you need to be a VIP / big spender to request it?

I purchased the necklace last year around this time. The only downside is that I wasn’t allowed to buy both the necklace and the bracelet (They allocated the bracelet to another customer). So I don’t know what to wear with my necklace since all my bracelets are either rose gold or white gold. I even asked if I can SO the bracelet and they said no.

Beautiful. I would mix it with RG as the two metals are so similar.

You made the right choice! I went with the bracelet and have always regretted not buying the necklace when I had the chance. I agree that it can work with a bracelet in RG. If you want to add another basic (or do a SO for RG), I find that it pairs very well with MOP.

I agree with @missie1 - I'd mix the necklace with your RG bracelets. I mix my YG bracelets with my RG bracelet all the time and they look great together!! I love your necklace!!
