I just purchased a magic bracelet and was thinking of trying the same thing! I would love to see a photo of how you wear it if you feel comfortable sharing.
I think I found a van cle e ft that was switched by jewrler did any lion apprils by van cleef have a stamp that look like initials onto of or with in the 18 k stamp how can I confirm or authenticate this info
I just received my first VCA piece in the mail today and it’s safe to say I am smitten. I purchased the vintage Alhambra malachite pendant. The packaging from VCA made the experience feel even more special (I was very impressed and thought the packaging was much nicer than Cartier packaging, not that I’m complaining).
When I first saw the necklace I gasped because it was so much more beautiful in person than in the photos! I am wearing it now and so in love
I know malachite does not like water so this necklace should not be worn to swim or shower. Do any VCA lovers have any other tips for caring for this necklace (malachite specifically)? Do you feel comfortable wearing the necklace for light exercise such as yoga, Pilates, etc.?
Any and all tips are greatly appreciated! After seeing this necklace in person, I am certain it will not be my last VCA purchase!

I don’t have your exact necklace, I have the magic malachite pendant and earrings. Mine are still in excellent condition- I am careful not to wear against my skin when I know I will be in a humid or sweaty situation, that can also cause discoloration.
Congratulations and wear it in the best of health !
I’m sure this has been asked before, but do we know if the purchase databases are connected between standalone stores & concessions?
Hi. I was wondering if anyone has any insights on when vintage Alhambra hammered gold 5 motif bracelet will be available in US. I’m ‘craving’ one so badly and was told by phone rep that they will have some back in stock before holidays but nothing yet. Any intel would be appreciated!
So I went back to the boutique this week to try the rings on again….
I’ve changed my mind! I think on my hand (probably due to my large middle knuckle lol), rings do look better on my ring finger and I prefer it to the look on my middle finger.
I tried the sweet clover ring again and also tried the single row diamond perle- I decided I love the single row more than the sweet clover which I wasn’t expecting!
My SA did not have the single row in YG so is going to try and get hold of one for me.
Am I making the right decision? Please excuse the badly angled photos!

Both look great! From the pictures I agree the single looks best on you. But I don’t think you can make a wrong choice!
I love the Sweet Clover on you. It's chunkier and has character. It has a lot more presence than the single row. To me, the single row looks like a wedding band, especially when worn alone on the fourth finger (e.g. an ex-wedding ring now worn on the right hand). I know others will disagree, but that's what I see when I see that ring worn on the fourth finger alone. The single row ring is nothing more than an eternity band with milgrain bead edges. I find the Sweet Clover much more artistic and interesting. It also goes great with your Sweet Clover bracelet... beautiful together!
Just my two cents. Hope that helps in your decision. Good luck!
Purchases at Neiman Marcus boutiques are not
love the single row on you. Looks more distinctive and elegant.
Oh yes, that’s true… I see what you mean. Do you think the single row would look better if work on the middle finger?
Having tried both rings, I do like them both but am very aware that the single row is much better value (as much as any VCA can be considered good value) considering the carats vs. the sweet clover… I had also started to think that the single row is more timeless and elegant?
Thank you, I also think that it looks slightly more elegant than the sweet clover
