Please help me!! I own the 10 motif yg van cleef mother of pearl alhambra and 10 motif yg van cleef black onyx...I am thinking of trading them in for a 20 motif mother of pearl yg...they want me to pay 3,500 for the trade.....what should i do!!!!!!????? Thank you!!!!

Could you give us a bit more information?

Who are you doing the trade with?
It this a new 20 motif?
Is there the possibility to trade the 10 motif black onyx for another 10 motif yg mop and if so would it be the same price?
 
Well this is annoying! Take a look at these Kenneth Jay Lane earrings that are on Rue La La right now.... look familiar? at only 70 dollars maybe I will sell my pave frivole and buy these instead. :D

Two 10 motifs cost the same as one 20 motif in both those stones.
Why do you have to pay more for a trade?

I actually saw a pendant version of these earrings in silver with CZs. It looked just like the pave Frivole on the website, but looked really cheap IRL. It was much larger in size than the pave Frivole pendant and just did not look well made.

Just peeked at the rulala website...they have the matching pendant.
How do these designers get away with such knock offs?
 
Oh my goodness.....
How large are they?
Frivole only comes in wg pave, right?
I think you can get the pave frivole in YG, but I'm not 100% sure. I don't know how large they are - it would be interesting if they are the same size, since then it would be almost a knock-off.

I haven't seen these IRL. I wonder how they would look from a few feet away - would they pass for the real thing? I think I'll stick with VCA for now. Sorry KJL. :blah:

If you're looking to get a turquoise pendant- get the turquoise pendant! There is no substitute for the beauty of VCA turquoise! I recently got my first VCA piece and it was the turquoise pendant- I absolutely love it & the turquoise is stunning!

The price tag was hard for me to swallow, especially compared to the MOP, but for me, turquoise was what I really wanted! I have zero regrets!

Turquoise is more expensive than the gold and mop?
 
i was looking at the global price thread and am very confused... can someone tell me the exact price for both the sweet mother of pearl and turquoise butterfly and the little alhambra charm ring? in either the turquoise or gold vintage? thanks!

I don't know what you are referring to (little alhambra charm ring) but you can go to the Betteridge website and click on the "request price" tab to see what the current prices are...assuming they are in stock.

i guess i have to pay more because mine are used and the trade would be for a new one....they don't have any second hand

It's actually quite nice to just link up the 10 black onyx and 10 white mop.
You would save 35k.
How much do u like the 20motif mop???
