Hi! I really like Faberge, too. Faberge made the Imperial Easter Eggs for the Russian Imperial Family which you can see in museums.. they are truly works of art and worth seeing.
This emerald egg pendant is on my wish list, but it keeps falling lower and lower in priority. I tried it on, it's beautiful, but pricey for what you get which is probably why it keeps falling down my list. If you can get to one of their boutiques, their pieces are amazing. The boutique on 5th in NYC has the bolder pieces. The other boutique I've been to is in Houston (in the Galleria Mall), which ironically, has a ton of egg charms. Very pretty pieces.

Current obsession has been with Cartier. Took a look at the Bvulgari B- Zero ring which is gorg. Have my eyes on VCA! Love Alhambra and the Perlee collection.
Question: would you buy an Alhambra Bracelet or a Love Bracelet if you had one to choose?

I imagine you might get a different answer if you ask in the Cartier forum, but I love VCA bracelets much more. I also would not like wearing any bracelet 24/7.
@DS2006 yes me too, the thought makes me queasy for practical reasons- cleaning, not damaging it etc
I know this is a VCA forum, but I do prefer it over the Love. The Alhambra has a more delicate/feminine vibe to it whereas I see the love as a simple bangle, which is fine if thats the look you're going for. To me, the stones/design/details have the alhambra have more pop to it.
@dove221, I admire both the Cartier love and Alhambra bracelets on others, but prefer other Cartier and VCA bracelets for myself. though, I haven’t bought either yet (a Verdura cuff is top priority for me), I love the crash and the maillon de Cartier watch that looks more like a bracelet, and both the buton d’or and Etruscan@ VSPCA cuff. The Cartier SA mentioned that It’s also possible to special order a bracelet made of your favorite watch links, but I didn’t pursue that Avenue. Agree with @DS2006 and @vinotastic , that I don’t want to wear something 24 /7 and that you will get a different response in the Cartier sub forum.

They are so pretty. Love VCA!
I had looked into the cuff option for Love but unsure that I want to go that route. With the cuff- you can remove as you need.
I have traveled many times, both domestically and internationally with my Love bracelet on.
Actually they let me leave all my jewelry on, especially if I forget and wear this one particular pair of casual pants to travel. They are sparkly pants and I usually wind up getting a pat down anyway, lol. DO NOT WEAR sparkly clothing on a plane!
Alhambra for me. I don’t like bangles as they are stiff, plus I prefer more delicate jewelry and Alhambra has that while being substantial.
thank you for sharing! I was curious if the security thing was an issue. I love sparkly pants!
