Van Cleef & Arpels Alhambra Collection

[Harriet]

Does anyone have this collection?

 

[Harriet]

This is a bad picture, but I'm eyeing this one:

Hi Harriet. I''ve seen some knock-offs of this collection on eBay. Pretty. I don''t have anything from this collection unfortunately.

 

[Harriet]

They are so simple and elegant. Awfully expensive, I''m afraid.

 

[FireGoddess]

Is that mother of pearl in the middle, or some background texture?

 

[Harriet]

Mother of pearl. The whole thing looks better on their website.

 

[Miranda]

Buuuuuummmmmppppp...Anything to add, Harriet?

She said she got it on another thread! But Harriet, I can''t tell what that is on the edge of the pendant itself. Are there tiny red stones, or what?

I thought it looked like heavy millgrain... Cummon'' friend you can let us in!!!! I''m not above begging!

 

[Harriet]

Van Cleef was out of stock, and I won''t have the pendant till later this week. Can someone please help copy the picture from VCA''s website?

 

[Miranda]

Yay! Congrats on the new piece. I can''t wait to see it.

 

[Harriet]

Thanks! Does this mean you''re no computer whiz either?

Harriet:

Here''s some pictures from the website.
I don''t know if they are big enough to view the piece properly, but I''ll give it a try anyway.

 

[SuzyQZ]

And picture number two.

 

[Miranda]

Nope, no computer whiz here. Glad to see Suzy is!

 

[Harriet]

Suzy,
Thanks, whiz!

Miranda,
Whatcha think? You can be honest.

 

[Miranda]

Harriet, you know I love everything you pick! I love yellow gold necklaces/pendants. I think it is a piece you will treasure forever.

 

[diamondseeker2006]

Very pretty, Harriet! I love the mother-of-pearl! I think classic looking pieces like this are very good for a basic jewelry collection.

Thanks, DS. I''ll try to take some picutres when it arrives. It''s a lot more delicate in real life, and the chain almost disappears.

 

[Harriet]

Here it is!

 

[Harriet]

It''s a wee one.

 

[Dee*Jay]

Ooh, that''s very pretty!

 

[Harriet]

Dee Jay,
It has matching bracelets, earrings, necklaces, and watches waiting for you.

 

[Dee*Jay]

Stop it you enabler!

 

[Harriet]

My dear, it was your stone that spurred me on in my upgrade hunt.

 

[Dee*Jay]

Say it ain't so!

(REALLY -- MY stone?)

 

[Harriet]

Uh huh.

 

[Love in Bloom]

OOOh H, very pretty. It reminds me of a cross. I like the penny shot and the size of the pendant

.

 

[diamondseeker2006]

That is very pretty! I looked on the VCA site the other day to see the pieces, and it appears they are really pushing the yellow gold again. I think it would be pretty in wg as well.
