If I had to choose 3 pieces from your list, I would go with 1, 3, and 4. They look good together. Enjoy your anniversary.

Well, couldn’t resist! Ended up getting all the 4 piece plus a vintage Alhambra clover yellow gold! The 2 minis will be saved for my daughter as I couldn’t resist the carnelian and frivole! Too
Thank you ladies for all the replies, now next question:
Between the ring frivole ring or
Magic Alhambra yellow gold MOP and Vintage alhambra yellow gold combination diamond and carnelian?
Thank you in advance

I’m confused - which is the yg diamond and carnelian? Sounds fabulous.

Sorry, didn’t mean to confuse you
I’m attaching the three rings I’m considering

Ah, now I see, thank you!! You meant the ring!

if you’re basing your choice off your collection, I think the white MOP will be the easiest direct match because it’s Alhambra. If you are not into matching, the frivole goes with everything. I love the carnelian as a pop of color, too. I guess the only way to choose is what your priority is, whether you want a piece that will go easily with everything else.

Hi! After months of stalking this thread and seeing all your beautiful VCA purchases, I thought it was time to make my first post.

I’m thinking of getting a 5 motif Vintage Alhambra bracelet in malachite. I’ve read that it’s a difficult stone to maintain, but it’s just soooo gorgeous!!! Do any of you have a malachite bracelet? Please share your experiences and pictures, if possible.

I had the same feeling, frivole seems easy match just with everything ! I’m not too much into matching but those 2 Vintage Alhambra rings are definitely on my list!
My first piece from VCA was the Perlee signature then Perlee clover a few years ago! My mom wore 20 MOP vintage Alhambra for a long time and felt it’s mature but seeing how everyone wears them so casually... pure love

Thank you for your input

OMG, did you buy all these pieces at the same time?
They are beautiful, congrats!

Hmm....are we in the same city? I forget where everyone is. Do we have enough people for a NY meetup?

Oh no I got the perlee signature bracelet first, then perlee diamond in yellow and rose gold! On one trip to Paris I got the vintage Alhambra bracelet in MOP, Wasn’t sure about vintage Alhambra necklaces until a trip to vca in the us!
Rest of it was the last purchase I made, I initially was only going to get all gold but when I tried onyx it was love at first sight
This is a slippery slope as many ladies on the forum know! I definitely will plan next purchase to go with my existent collection

It didn’t happen - still hoping! I’m in the city several times per week so am always happy to meet up!

Oh, I think you misunderstood me. I wanted to know if anyone has a Malachite bracelet and if they have to baby it? Because apparently the stone is very soft. It surely is super stunning on the website! Thanks for your response

Frivole ring! It’s got so much presence on the hand and it’ll match your items without being all clovers. Great collection you have there btw, I’m drooling here!!
