My Van Cleef & Arpels Vintage Diamond Alhambra Pendant

[m-2-b]

So I've been bitten by the Van Cleef & Arpels bug, thanks to all of my fellow PS'ers who own such lovely VCA pieces which can be seen here:

I recently ventured out to the VCA boutique with full intentions of purchasing a MOP Vintage Alhambra piece. What I walked out with was this blingy piece instead--a white gold Vintage diamond alhambra pendant:

Beautiful pendant!

It's the perfect marriage between my love of bling + branded pieces! It's all the more special b/c DH picked it out, too!

Here it is in the signature VCA box:

Wow! What a chique pendant. Gorgeous piece.

If anyone is ever undecided about a branded piece, it definitely pays off to go in and try things on first! I would also highly recommend getting a little help from your PS friends, too!

Here's the back of the pendant which is open, allowing OCD PS'ers like myself to clean it thoroughly (for maximum sparkle)!

Since it's difficult to photograph one's own neck for jewelry pieces, other shots will have to do!

I think this VCA pendant will make a great addition to all of my other jewelry pieces! I can even see arrows with my H & A viewer on the VCA melee!

Wow! Gorgeous new pendant! Great photos too! I especially love the ones in that rich velvety box & the fire shots with your ring for perspective. Absolutely beautiful! Congrats on your new purchase and it''s even more special since your DH picked it out! Well done!

As you know, I absolutely LOVE this piece! I liked the idea of the MOP a lot, but this is definitely timeless both in style and durability due to being white gold with diamonds. I am SO glad your hubby suggested the upgrade!!! Now I am hoping to see you add a couple of the matching pieces over the next couple of years!

love this pendant! It's beautiful!

I purchased a rose gold perlee band from them last year and the box they sent it in was amazing.
It is gray velvet and filled with gray straw and right in the middle the ring sat almost like an egg, in its own green velvet box.

Enjoy wearing it!

Wow! What a chique pendant. Gorgeous piece.

Thanks! I can't wait to see what colored stone project you've got up your sleeve next in SMTB/CS!
