I never wear jewelry while showering or 24/7 accept my Love bracelet. Not taking any chances ruining the stones.

I agree, with this. There are very few pieces I'd wear 24/7. One is my eensy diamond studs in my second holes, the other was my gold/sterling bangle from T&Co. Everything else gets taken off before showering & stowed away until the morning.

Oh...I just thought its quite troublesome to put jewelries on and off.
Guess I'll have to do the same and not give any chance to ruin the stones...

lovely!

i'm curious though, on the original pic... can you tell if the clasp is a spring ring or a claw?

That is probably a photo of Princess Grace's piece.

I only have had mop in the sweet bracelets, but I would get them wet all the time. I was always careful not to get abrasive soaps, etc on them, but when I was rinsing my hands, I'd always rinse them, too. I never noticed any difference in luminescence because of water.

Thanks, that is good to know

How much is this pretty clip?

When I bought it (2 yrs ago?) it was HK$90000,
which was around US$11611, it is now US$16200 according to the Van Cleef website.

I was trying to look through this thread about this, but I forget how long this thread is! I have been hesitant to wear my sweet clover bracelet on the same wrist as my Love, but I frequently see ladies here wearing them together. What are your thoughts on this? I would wear it during the day, but take it off at night when I go to sleep. Would that work? Or should the bracelet not be stacked with the Love? Thanks!!!

 

[kowloontong]

Thanks for the compliments.

Love, love, love the longer Alhambra on you! Gorgeous!

Just bought this 20 motifs alhambra necklace, matching earclips, magic alhambra ring, and lotus earclips before the price increase.

The 20 motifs was never on my list, but it looks good and stands out a lot.
Sometimes I wear both the YG and WG mop together, I really like the mixed metal look.

Omgggggggg drool!!!

I wanted to ask everyone on here again, what is your opinion of the Magic Alhambra, the YG with the white mop, Tahitian mop, and onyx, in the lariat style (2 asymmetrical dangling)?

Also, how does the mop wear over time, in terms of water, etc.

Thanks so much again.

I personally like the 20 motifs long necklace more.
My mom has the Magic alhambra necklace you are talking about.
Since she wears a lot of round neck cardigan sets, I have to admit she looks better with the short Magic alhambra.
However the short Magic alhambra has more impact, so it is not a good daily necklace.
It all depends on your style and whether you want a necklace to wear daily or not.

I went to VCA yesterday to look for my first piece (big birthday coming up). I really liked the mop Super single pendant. I am not familiar with the Super size. Des anyone have this size? I was disappointed that it doesn't come in YG, only WG.

How about the lucky alhambra pendant?
It is in YG and it is bigger than the vintage clover.
