Oh WOW! It does look great. The Magic Alhambra that i tried on was the pave with the shorter chain & is not removable. But its also $3700 less than this version. Amazed at the price difference!

I had the same dilemma when I was interested in buying it a couple years ago when the price was $27100. A few months later it went up to $28100, that turned me off. Before this last price decrease or adjustment whatever you call it, it went up to $29200. Yeah, I seized the opportunity when it came down to $27500. If you ever want a magic pave, this should be the one you get, at least it was for me. It is versatile, you can wear it long, double, lariat, even use another cord if you want to. So I think with this one it justify the extra money. The other one while it is very beautiful in its own right, but lots other pendant necklace would do. Hope my reasoning helps you as well it did for me.
Whatever you decide, enjoy!

I'm responding again. If you're heart is set on the more expensive, wait until you're more comfortable with the purchase. My concern is that if you buy based on price, rather than preference, every time you wear the lower priced magic pave, you'll wish you had bought the other. In other words, don't settle. VCA is too expensive to buy less than exactly what you want.

Yes, you are spot on. I'm going to do exactly that. I'm already leaning towards the longer, removable one. Thanks so much!!

Not sure if my first response posted, but you are spot on. Im already leaning towards the pricier one. Thanks again.

Omg, $29200!! That makes me think I should get it sooner rather than later. I feel all of you have convinced me on getting the removable one. One question though, how do you wear it as a lariat?

oh interesting, is this Toronto or Vancouver? wonder if the standalone is able to transfer items or not with the Birks boutiques. thanks for the info!

I am guessing you are in Toronto? These are available in Van but I don't think VCA in Birks is in any way connected to the VCA stand alone boutiques. VCA Birks might be able to transfer bet stores; I've had an item transferred from TO to Van in the past but it depends on the item. The guilloche earrings are a sensational piece; hope you are able to get them!

I visited nyc vca at last yesterday. They had the guilloche bracelet and necklace. They said it is getting harder to get the pieces and they think there will have to be a wait soon ...

They had one blue agate bracelet that I was able to try with the guilloche :)

I tried the thin pave perlee bangle. They said it was more an everyday piece. The bangle was a medium and a bit small on my large wrists he he

I also tried the white gold pave Alhambra bracelet which was pretty! Hard to get a good pic in their lighting IMG_1236.JPG

And finally for fun I was able to try the zip necklace which was super amazing but super out of my price range !!! The top is white gold diamonds and sapphires. 560k. The bottom was rose gold and diamonds. 456k
