Hi, I have been wanting a Van Cleef Alhambra bracelet for a while now, but, so many seem to have them now (or a fakey copy) that now it comes to getting one i'm not sure...
Does anyone have something similar/ similar price point, that you can wear 24/7 easily?
Just looking for ideas... or, if people think the Van Cleef will stand the test of time?
Thanks :-)

Check out Mangomoniica on IG

These videos and VCs treatment of this customer put me right off.
By the end they were just trolling her with thst stupid jewelery book...

Look at the Opera Tulle bracelets from Buccellati. A few different designs.

Die? You’d rather die???

hehe, i do think you see them a lot .. but, much like designer bags; you can spot the fakes a mile off so maybe not such an issue.

Oh the drama

Op I liked them at first but yeh too many about now, Chopard have some really pretty pieces, I wouid go personally into a top end jeweller who will show you similar styles around your price point.

I don't care if this makes me a snob, and have said this many times on similar threads about supposedly 'luxe' bracelets; I don't want something that has such a mass appeal that you can buy knock-offs everywhere and anywhere.

At it's most basic level, VC&A alhambra bracelets are not cheap. For that kind of money, I want something properly luxurious. You can find something far more special, particularly if you take time to look at vintage jewellery.

I’ve really got into David Yurman recently, although I prefer a bangle rather than a bracelet. Sadly I’ve also seen DY fakes ☹️
