I think I made the right decision for me! I did not purchase Love Bracelet! whoof :noworry: My DH agreed 100% with the idea that I should get vintage alhambra carnelian necklace before next price increase (the end of March???). My SA says he has found one 10-motif with orangish - not dark red - carnelian! I'll go to see/perhaps buy it tomorrow, and wait until he finds another 10-motif!:smile1:

Good luck with your carnelian! Has Cartier increased its price recently? Will it increase any time soon?

Sounds like DH helped you make a wise choice:) You have been waiting to buy the carnelian for a long time! My DH really likes this color too-funny the men like it. I hope it's the color you've been pining for and can wait to see if so!

Hi ladies,
First time posting on this forum..I've always admired Van Cleef but never thought I might have one so soon...I'm wavering between the classic vintage alhambra MOP pendant and the regular alhambra MOP (used to be called modern?). I've seen many vintage ones modeled in pictures but haven't seen the latter one modeled in the VC&A threads..anyone have any thoughts or own this one and can model it to help me narrow it down? TIA and love seeing all your beautiful collections! :smile1:

The vintage collection seems to be a lot more popular and the collections are larger, more varied. The modern Alhambra collection seems more sleek....
My SA told me a while back that this collection was going to be discontinued but it seems to still be readily available.

Hi OuiCestLaVie! I am excited to see what they have for me! I don't know about Cartier's price increases. Sorry!

Hi CATYEYS! That's right! Oh, your DH, too? My DH LOVES necklace, especially carnelian, its transparency/colours!!! It was good for me to find out my DH is not really excited about braclets, especially Loves.;)

Hi Ladies, since I bought my first VCA from NM (a 10 motif vintage alhambra RG necklace). I start to shop matching bracelet and earring. I browsed something online. There are second hand sellers from ebay. (just trying to save some money, my budget is tight now.) I'm wondering if they can provide authentification card and item is stamped with same number, then it's safe to buy?

Thanks for any input.
