I have this bracelet and it’s one of my favorites as gmop is my favorite stone. The two pave pieces flip constantly however it doesn’t bother me as I normally wear stacks. No issues with wear and tear however I’m careful to keep a dry wrist when wearing my pieces due to some stones being more fragile than others. Dry in terms of no perfumes or lotions lol. It won’t match the ears perfectly but can be worn together and not clash.Hi all! First time posting herewhat 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…

Hi, I’m not sure if it had been discussed previously - would owners of Vintage Alhambra rings please post some mod pics (when convenient) and also if u r still loving ur rings after some time please? I’m wondering if the onyx ring will be a good and lasting piece to enjoy
I have the MOP vintage Alhambra ring. I wore it frequently for a whole year after purchasing it but later, I seldom wear it. It's because every time I wash my hand, I need to take it off. Maybe onyx is more hard-wearing and no need to be taken off when washing hands.Hi, I’m not sure if it had been discussed previously - would owners of Vintage Alhambra rings please post some mod pics (when convenient) and also if u r still loving ur rings after some time please?

I pair my MOP with TE and find them complimenting each other.
I will try to wear the ring more often.
I find that I wear TE 5 motif more than MOP ring.
I have the onyx ring, I don’t wear it often but it is durable. The only “maintenance” I do is wiping it off with a cloth after I’m done wearing it.Hi, I’m not sure if it had been discussed previously - would owners of Vintage Alhambra rings please post some mod pics (when convenient) and also if u r still loving ur rings after some time please?

There is also a VCA ring thread few pages back that might be helpful. There are few posts with onyx rings.
Rose gold VA (MTO) and RG VA paved. I don't think the mod shots give justice to the paved as the diamonds shine so much really more than other diamonds I got from other brands ...I love it and wear it every dayHi, I’m not sure if it had been discussed previously - would owners of Vintage Alhambra rings please post some mod pics (when convenient) and also if u r still loving ur rings after some time please?

Hi everyone! I recently acquired these magic alhambra earrings as part of an auction (from a reputable house) in Singapore…there is one piece that I find odd because I have never seen this before, the earrings on the back say “OR” and “OL” whereas I have only ever seen “OR” stamped on the back of both. The clasp opening is also round vs teardrop shaped on my other pair of regular Alhambra earrings.
I only own a few pieces so I planned to take this in for service- but wanted to sanity check here and see if this is a blatant counterfeit because of the stamps. Everything else in terms of lettering, spacing, detail, the eagle head, checks out so this was the only (glaring) abnormality that stood out to me.

I think O is for « Oreille » as Ear in French. And then R for Right and L for Left.
I also thought it was right to have OR and OL, but my other VCA earrings say OR and OR! Very confused. My sample size is 2 so trying to see if this is what others with bigger collections have on the backs of theirs..!
I am not an expert, but have more than half a dozen pair of VCA earrings with the same mechanism. All of these were purchased in the past three years. I just checked on all of mine, they all have teardrop shaped clasps and all marked with OR on both sides.
Not sure if older pieces have different markings or shape on the clasps?
But aren’t these labeled backwards? From my understanding, the upper protruding part of the clip indicates which ear it goes on. On the OR clip, the protruding part is pointing to the left and vice versa.
I just checked. I have 4 pairs of VCA clip earrings, including one 2 motif pair (like yours but white MOP), and all say OR on both—none say OL. But not sure if that was ever different in the past?
Hello folks,
I am lost between the VCR PERLÉE bangle the large model, wether to take it in yellow gold or rose gold. Everything i hve is only in Yellow gold so far. Im wondering if i buy the RS it will match with the rest of my jewlery which is all in Yellow.
Does the rose gold age well?does it match well with yellow gold?
Im lost, and this bangle was on my wishing list for years.

Hi all, quick question on order cancellation. I placed an online order 3 days ago for a vintage Alhambra necklace to be picked up in my local VCA boutique but received an email today that my order is canceled. There was no reason given in the email. Has this happened to anyone?this is my first VCA order and I’m so disappointed 😔A continuation of this thread.
Please post all things VCA in this thread; questions, photos, VCA chat . . .
But please, NO authenticity questions here.
**remember there's absolutely no buying or selling on tPF!**
