Absolutely beautiful! I love turquoise so much in spring and summer! We definitely need a pleasant distraction from what is going on in the world, especially considering many of us are almost trapped at home for weeks! Thank you for posting!
Yes it’s not an easy time and we are lucky to have a little escape in this forum, sometimes it’s a breath of fresh air to appreciate the pretty things we have and share
Hope you are staying safe dear.
Hi there! I am new to the Van Cleef world and trying to distract myself from all the craziness currently. I would eventually be interested in purchasing the Alhambra Bracelet, can anyone shed light on the weight of the bracelets? (do they feel weighty?) and the durability of the MOP? I am someone who leaves my jewelry on 24/7 and is constantly washing their hands, just wanted some insight! TIA 
Aw shucks... Thank you.Thanks J!m! Hope you are staying fashionably safe as well

Hi Ladyofluxuryy, It's light weight but comfortable... you know its on you, especially if it is fitting you right and also, you won't know it's on. (I know that sounds contradicting, but when you get one, you will see what I mean), MOP is durable to a degree... but not as much as onyx. I have the VCA Magic Alhambra Bracelet and it has onyx, grey mother of pearl, and mother of pearl. I wear it everyday, I just don't sleep in it (well the first night I did. lol) Are you looking at yellow gold or white gold ?Hi there!

Thank you so much, J!m!! I am looking at yellow gold! I really appreciate your insight and this maybe onyx might be a better option for me then but the allure of the other colors always get me..... Grey mother of pearl sounds absolutely gorgeous!
Love love love.....thank you for the smiles!View attachment 4692734 View attachment 4692727 View attachment 4692728 View attachment 4692729 And here’s the magic reunited with the 20 motifs. My little photographer took this pic. It’s casual (esp the shoes) but hey my pedicure matches my tq

Welcome! VCA is such a nice distraction! The Alhambra bracelets are not heavy at all! And they can adjust the length if it is too long, also. I personally do not feel that these bracelets are for 24/7 wear. The only ones I'd even consider would be the solid gold classic ones (rose or yellow gold). But even then, I wouldn't like soap scum and the extra wear and tear of 24/7. The MOP should not get wet, so it would not be good for washing hands often, and we are all doing that now! I plan to get the MOP bracelet, but I will wear it out shopping or to dinner and then take it off when it get home. I have the yellow gold classic bracelet now, and it can go with any of the stone necklaces or earrings in yellow gold. Here's some care advice from VCA:

Hey Ladyofluxuryy, yellow gold is divine ! I was am in love with Mother of Pearl, Grey Mother of Pearl and Onyx, when I saw a bracelet from VCA that had all of the above, with the large hanging Mother of Pearl clover motif, I knew that that was the one. (the movement of this piece is spectacular and fun) I have a picture of me wearing it in my earlier posts. It is still available on the VCA website, take a gander at it, it's not for everyone, but it was definitely for me. Good luck and keep us posted on your journey and ultimate choice.
Be that as it may, It's your time to play, VCA all and everyday, in everyway is all I can say !
