The pendant is 3600. I tried it on 3 days ago and it's very pretty but I chose the holiday pendant instead. Just couldn't resist that pink shade! [emoji1]
Oh big congrats on getting the Pink Holiday pendant. I saw it and should have gotten it, but I was just too new to VCA to know any better...
Hi everyone. Thank you for your photos of the blue porcelain pieces. I decided to take the plunge last week on the pendant while in Paris. Here is a mod pic I took with a Hermes coup de fouet scarf and alone with a v-neck sweater. Also a fun pic with some Hermes accessories and SLG. The calvi is blue electric.
Does anyone who owns the blue porcelain pieces happen to know what is the best way to clean the porcelain? Can we use dish soap and water? Or only the VCA cloth? I have found that the blue porcelain shows fingerprints quite easily and want to know the best way to clean it. I forgot to ask when I purchased mine.
Halliehallie, MYH-- gorgeous!!! Congratulations on your new purchases and wear them in good health!
These pics are just gorgeous! They look like they are right out of a VCA catalogue!!!!
Is the pendant the exact same size as the regular Vintage Alhambra single-motif pendant? It looks like it might be slightly bigger. Then again, my eyes could be playing tricks on me because they are so dazzled!
I need this pendant in my life. I guess I need to plan a trip to Paris! Lol.
For those who have asked for a comparison between the porcelain color and lapis, I have been trying to take good pictures for a few days but it is virtually impossible to photograph and capture the color correctly. If you photograph either piece against a white background, the blue looks almost black
And if you photograph it against a dark background, they both come out brighter than they actually appear in real life. This is as close as I could come at capturing the difference in the shades between the two, but they both appear brighter here than they are in real life. Because the porcelain has such a glossy finish, it definitely reflects more light than the Lapis and appears more vibrant, almost was a purple undertone to the blue. To my eye, it looks like a cross between ultramarine/cobalt and navy, whereas the lapis just appears like a regular Navy in natural light. As you can see, the single pendant is also a bit bigger then the vintage size. It is definitely eye-catching.
