hi
I bought a pair of vintage diamond Alhambra earrings from FASHIONPHILE recently .Love them but they did not come w COA. I went to vca today to compare and mine actually seem to be heavier gold than the ones in the store. I’m wondering if these earrings have changed a bit over time and that is the reason they are heavier ( maybe better quality before) or if these are simply not real?
I posted in authenticate this but that forum does not seem to get much activity. I saved over 2 k on earrings but am concerned they might not be real although they are stunning earrings and I love them.
Any advice is appreciated!!
 
It can be almost impossible to authenticate some VCA pieces without sending them to VCA IMO. I would suggest buying the earrings from the store and have piece of mind.
 
Thanks for your input.
For those who own these, how do they look to you?
I was thinking the only part that seems a bit different is the backing (hinge), but may be the posts were altered and that is accounting for the difference?
