After hijacking @peppermintpatty thread for weeks, which I adore and she's so graciously allowed, I ordered a VCA Sweet Alhambra pendant, the one with diamonds.
I'm definitely a VCA newbie since I don't have a local boutique in NC or FL. Online is my only option right now.
So I saw this pendant available and ordered. Here's some deets!
First, the packaging is beyond. When I signed for it, I couldn't believe the weight. Then, beautiful boxes and boxes, and ribbons and ribbons, and many envelopes, and multiple surprises to unpack: You'd think I spent $50K instead of just under $4K with tax. They even included a travel pouch!
So, the pendant is tiny compared to the online pics, but the sparkle is just amazing. The chain comes with an extender attached, but wow, you'd need to be very petite for that! I'm 5'4, 120 lbs, and it sits about 1.5 inches under my neck. It's short!
I wanted to downsize from some large pieces I've worn for years, and this is a magical piece for that purpose. I can actually feel its presence, see the unmistakeable diamonds from across a room, and love that it's not a fixed chain, I prefer movement!
I know I'll need to be careful in the shower, I have long hair. And I think I'll only be able to clean it while it's on. I recently bought a spray called Grandma's Secret on Amazon & it's really good for quick refreshes, so I'm going to use that (no affiliation, just like it).
Although I'd love to buy larger VCA sometime, I love this piece and and it's been a great experience!
