Sweet 6 motif Alhambra bracelet in yellow gold

Hi Lisa!!! I was wondering if you could please tell me how it was possible to get this special order!! I asked my SA and she told me it doesn’t exist and SO is a no. If it’s not too much to ask, where in the world are you based? You must have an amazing SA. Mine is quite nice too. I have bought 16 pieces with her so I dont understand why she would just say straight up no before asking if it’s possible :(

It is not something in my immediate wishlist but very grateful that my SA offered this to me when it was received in my local Boutique last week! Very delighted to add this forever classic staple in my humble VCA collection - a long Magic Alhambra Pendant Diamonds Paved in White Gold!

A little drama on the day before it was received because my SA initially thought it’s a short pendant version and apparently it did not arrive at all at the Boutique bursting out our bubble of excitement 😂 though I was a bit hesitant because the short pendant version is more or less similar to my Flowerlace pendant. However, the following evening, my SA called to inform that it indeed arrived 😳 and it was a long pendant version instead - the one I have always preferred! My SA was off for a couple of days so I could only come over on Day 3 after its arrival.

Before going to the Boutique, I still made a fuss over the clover size/price difference and tried to find pics that show direct comparisons between the short vs long. I was a bit disappointed after realising that the clover size apparently is the same though it’s the biggest of Magic size 🤣 Not helping the situation - my SA told that some of her colleagues (from the same Boutique as well as the other 2 Boutiques) have been hassling her during her off days to give this up for their clients 🤣🤣🤣

When I finally came over to view and gave it a try - I was sold! I could understand why it’s so timeless, elegant, and versatile! There are a lot of ways to wear/style a Magic long pendant and in WG Paved 💎 - it’s a winner!

I paid for the deposit to secure it and still gave myself to think it over the weekend to avoid any impulse purchase since I have another big VCA wishlist this year and fortunately (or unfortunately) i couldn’t get it out of my mind. I finally collected it earlier today and couldnt be happier when bringing it home!

I will still admire it for now 🤣🤣🤣 before wearing/posting some action pics coordinated with my other pieces.

Interesting story - I called VCA 800 number enquiring about a piece and they took down my information. A couple of weeks later I received a call from an SA in New York and was offered the piece I was looking for. So, I love talking with SA's and I was telling him for years I wished the sweets were offered in yellow gold....very engaging conversation. A few months later he called and asked me if I would like the sweet 16 motifs in yellow gold and of course YES. He asked me if I wanted the 6 motif bracelet too....he had gotten them approved.....so, that's how and now there are not any special orders at the moment....I have received the bracelet and I'm still waiting on the necklace.

My SA told me 2 years waiting and I am at 1 year sharp 🥹. But I can make it … was last week on the website of France 🇫🇷 I almost clicked on it as I am just at the border could have make it deliver to a friend in France … but my SA assured me she could have it once so I wait and trust her (anyway I just made my beginning of the year as a long collecting journey already so maybe better to lower the pace …)

It's not easy to wait but certainly worthwhile!
