I had a question regarding the Sweet Alhambra earrings - would VCA be able to make these into clip versions? I'd love to wear a single hammered or onyx one, but I don't have pierced ears, and I'd rather not be disowned!
I have a feeling they wouldn’t because the loop for the clip would be visible since the sweet are so small. But you can always ask. Good luck!
 
@EpiFanatic you are very disciplined and it explains your cohesive collection. I love the pieces that I have but at times I impulsively buy pieces just because I find them pretty only later realizing that they appear random with the pieces I already have. I am definitely trying to minimize slipping from my wishlist
Took many costly mistakes to teach me not to be as impulsive. As long as you love the pieces you have you can’t go wrong.
 
I went to the 5 ave VCA store and wanted to get the guilloche earrings in yellow gold. The SA said that it would take over a year and that I couldn’t put down ANY deposit to secure… this seems really fishy to me and I feel she just didn’t like me. Her vibe was just off to me so not sure if anyone else has had this experience or same excuse or if I’m being paranoid.
Same here : only wishlist
 
Hi all! First time posting here :smile: what do you think about this bracelet? Is it a rare piece and hard to get? How is the wear and tear? I bought white MOP earrings recently and now want to add a bracelet to my collection. I like this one but the price is quite high so not sure if it worth it…

I just checked and it's available for purchase on the EU website, so not rare or hard to get

but if you want mother-of-pearl why not just the one without diamonds? they're more affordable, also not rare or hard to get, I believe

also the motifs with the diamonds flip if you wear the bracelet loose. they don't look like that on both sides

Hello and Nice joining the forum.
I have it and it was my first purchase (if I don’t count preloved rings) in the boutique. My very preferred bracelet it was true love at first sight. So I am not objective because still in love 😍. I put it either alone either with my 6 motifs sweet Alhambra rose gold bracelet. Doesn’t bother me if the diamonds flip. The GMOP I have to say gets dull with time and I have it for 9 months so maybe a thought to have. It doesn’t bother me as if you don’t know you don’t see the dullness. You cannot put it under water or shower with it. But really no regret. Expensive but if you love it as much as I do you won’t regret the buy. In case you didn’t know you can order the same GMOP in RG But without the diamonds so 5 motif GMOP. It is MTO made to order and that costs +30% above the normal price. Still more affordable than the paved one
Good luck to choose. First is really to try it on and see what you feel …
 
Thank you for the insight! That’s good to hear as I plan to wear it daily! I know… I can’t stop looking at my wrist when I wear it as well! It’s such a beautiful piece!
Hi! I appreciate this is an old post but can I ask how it’s holding up? I bought the blue agate 2 years ago and have the fear of it getting ruined so it’s been in the box the majority of the time. :( I have decided to just enjoy it now and am stacking it with my reg JUC and 2 x reg Loves. I wear it when I shower but not in the pool, not in the sea and have a wrist band when working out. Thoughts?

Beautiful piece, diamonds are stunning IRL. MOP is not the most durable and should not get wet, so not ideal for 24.7 wear (gym, working out/sweating, handwashing, washing dishes, etc...)
