Does anyone happen to have one...Ive been looking at the Alhambra collection--the vintage and magic alhambras specifically--trying to decide which one I liked best.

I think I decided on the magic alhambra necklace that comes in white, grey and black opal and onyx...

I just wanted to see if any VC&A fans out there love their pieces, find it easy to care for...etc

The one I want is about 32 inches long or so, maybe longer...I'm terrible at measurements but you can definitely double it up and its still decently long

Not sure if anyone knows what I'm talking about...

Thanks!!!

I know what you are talking about... I love Vancleef, they have georgous pieces...regarding your question, Alhambra magic has different clover sizes and they come in white, grey mother of pearl and onyx.
Alhambra vintage comes in 1 size clovers and in various materials...
I have the vintage 20 motif necklace in tiger eye and vintage white mother of pearls earrings besides other pieces from other lines...I :heart::heart:all my pieces and i take good care of them, i store each in a zipper bag ( don't want them to scratch ) and i avoid perfume and lotions on them...
Good luck and let me know what you get...

^^ thanks vancleef fan, I take it from your username you know a bit about their line =)

i think im going to order the magic alhambra today....i just like the length and how i can double it up and it looks like two necklaces...

price wise i was considering going with 2 vintage alhambras, one in black and one in white...and i could wear them as one necklace clipped together or separately layered but i think the magic alhambra won me over...ive been contemplating those options since earlier this year but wanted to take my time since its quite a large investment...(for me anyhow)

do they give you a nice case/storage bag for it though...i would think they would so you wouldnt have to put it in a ziplock bag...

and how do you care for yours...do you polish it often or ever had to bring it in to VC&A to get cleaned, etc...

They come in nice light green leather boxes, the reason i keep my pieces in individual small zipper bags to portect them from scratching each other because i put them in my jewelry box not in their original boxes

They come in a nice box. They also have travel bags for it.

I don't do anything to mine. I wear one of my necklaces everyday.

oh wow i didnt know they had travel bags--I should ask for one...mine came in a box which was flat like a fat envelope i guess...and it was in a plastic bag of its own...and inside the box was another case, soft with some structure and it opens out like an envelope and 2 straps hold the necklace in place...

The manager of VC&A delivered it to me at work yesterday--needless to say it is STUNNING and im already giddy to wear it

will post pics when i get the chance...so many things to post pics of and so little time :sweatdrop:
