Vintage Alhambra pendant vs Perlée couleurs pendant? which one do you prefer?

[Ash2019]

I like the vintage Alhambra but they are copied to death. Plenty of dupes out there but not the case for Perlée.

Good question, I really like both! The couleurs pendant is a fantastic layering piece, whereas, the vintage alhambra pendant can be worn on it's own.

It depends on the stone you're going for. I actually really like the perlee couleurs but only in pave as a carefree piece and it looks quite substantial. I think the alhambra design showcase the stones more beautifully though.

Alhambra for me!

Alhambra. Always. If you like Malachite (as your link for Perlee suggests), get Alhambra in Malachite - they are harder to copy to look legit because fake Malachite looks horrible compared to the real one.

Alhambra - it's my favorite jewelry collection of all.

Alhambra. I like the Perlee as earrings, but otherwise Alhambra

Hi girls, I am about to purchase my first VCA Alhambra piece, a pendent necklace, and I am sooo torn between the style (guilloche or pave diamond) and the gold (W or Y). I have black hair and olive tone and I basically wear white gold but I have also the cartier panthere watch and the small love bracelet in YG.
I am searching for a timeless piece, to wear 24/7.
Which one could fit to me more?
Any advice?
Thank you

Hello, I think either the YG guilloche or pave would be perfect for everyday wear based on the jewelry and watch you already own and your skin tone. Personally, I think both necklaces are beautiful but I much prefer guilloche as it is so sparkly. The guilloche embodies more of VCA’s special design and expertise craftmanship while the pave looks classic. Good luck in deciding. I’m sure whatever you choose will make your heart sing as all VCA creations are beautiful.

WG pave to match your other WG pieces. Carefree and more subtle than guilloche. You may not always want the “look-at-me” vibe of guilloche if you’re getting only one. I have both but if I could get only one it would be the pave.
