Some of you may remember me asking about the different sizes of magic Alhambra pendants before learning that there are a few flagship store only editions. Long story short during my recent trip to HK I paid the store a visit. Presenting one of the few newins from my trip - HK special edition MA in RG and carnelian

I honestly think this size is the best.

Hi summerof89 May I please ask if this is still available in the Hong Kong boutique? We might be planning a trip there :)

Thank you!

Thank you! Of course I think it’s 24800HKD. Roughly. My memory of the price is vague...... on purpose because I managed to pick up a few other pieces. Which I will share in the next post.

Assssssss I was saying. My SA In HK is just amazing. I think she is my VCA angel. I told her I will be visiting and gave her my Wishlist and managed to secure every piece for me before my trip. My scores also include blue agate 5 motif and the magic ring in grey MOP along with my princes edition carnelian.

Needless to say no more for me for the rest of the year. The photo is terrible, I’ll take better ones when I get back.

Hello,
Can anyone share their thoughts about the carnelian pendant in yellow gold vs. pink gold? I read somewhere that pink gold could tarnish over time and could either fade or become more “red”?

Yellow goes with more than the pink. Pink can tarnish and there was a lot of problems with Cartier's pink gold. Haven't heard it from VCA, but pink and yellow don't go together. So if the rest of your VCA is yellow, you can match many more items.

What’s the preservation service? Do tell please :smile:

If it's pave or diamonds you can ask them to check the stones for looseness. Even if you think a few motifs are loose. I did that and they authenticated it. However, I knew the head of customer service and she said it was real and knew where I purchased it. They tightened up the prongs on the diamonds for me.
I wouldn't polish something that is new or nearly new however. Cleaning itself in an Ionic cleaner doesn't guarantee authentication, they usually have to work on the item.
