I think replica, too.. likely an "inspired" piece and not one trying to be passed off as van cleef. As much as we love the clovers, they're a pretty standard design motif like hearts and flowers and crosses, etc. She could afford vca and I don't think it should be that newsworthy even it were a real vca piece. How is it any worse than having a nice pair of diamond studs or pearl set?

Trying to ding her on the "not one of common people" is silly, and even worse to accuse she's part of problem with counterfeiting.

I remember before I purchased a cute necklace from Macy's once before because i liked the heart & chain... only to discover several years later (after I got into designer pieces and tpf) that it looked like a knock off elsa peretti.

Here's pics of what has lips flapping, and another inspired piece (magic?) from an earlier talk show.

The second piece looks like a ten motif with a magic charm attached.

I agree, it does look like she has a clasp connected to the large motif that she clipped on to the 10 motif. So funny that this author cares-other people spend more in diamond earrings or rings and are not a doctor and also married to a politician-lol! Their family can probably easily afford vca.

I agree!
 
Interesting article. I was in a local boutique last week and noticed a knock-off VCA necklace on the counter. This boutique is more 'upscale' so was surprised the owner purchased it for sale. But then again, another local boutique had fake Hermes CDC bracelets that she said were 'flying off the shelf'. I'm not judging others, but I just can't buy the knock-offs as I think of child labor when I see them.
