This was very helpful as I’m like you and don’t like to remove my jewelry daily. My mother of pearl Sweet Alhambra is on its way, and looking forward to adding this piece & wearing it daily.
I'm glad U filmed this video! I have been reluctant to buy because everyone says don't get them wet... and I don't have time to be taking jewellery on and off! Thankfully I was never into malachite anyway. I think you may have just enticed me to finally pull the trigger on a VCA piece☺️
Right?!?! We, moms with young kiddos can’t be bothered!😂😂 Yesss totally safe! Pull the trigger babe! You’re going to love it!❤️ Warning⚠️ it’s a slipper slope!😂😂 Have an amazing day Mel!😘😘😘 Gina❤️
Thank you for this excellent detailed review of Van Cleef jewelry. I owned the Alhambra in white gold mother of pearl necklace for ten years now and It has held up well. I want to get me the mini pendant to wear with my other gold jewelry. Cartier pink gold does not hold up. It was very disappointing when it started to tarnish (Imagine spending all that money for bad quality). My twin has the mother of pearl bracelet but she didn't listen to me (to not let it get wet). Now her bracelet has lost it luster.
Glad to hear about your experience with VCA pieces 😊 including selection when ordering online! Very detailed info which I really appreciate. I love the VCA line but no items in my collection yet but hoping to add a few pieces at a later time. Thanks for sharing, have a great day!
Beautiful pieces and great review! Does the bracelet spin on your wrist and the alhambra end up underneath ? Many bracelets do that and you need to keep adjusting. Just curious as to your experience/opinion.
Love all the pieces you chose! Thinking about adding a bracelet or necklace to my collection for my birthday. Which would you go for, for a first piece from VCA?
Hi there ! I appreciate you posting your review on VCA Alhambra collection! I’m thinking of getting the Sweet Alhambra Carnelian necklace but like yourself I find it a pain to keep taking my jewellery on and off on a daily basis. May I know if your sweet Alhambra carnelian bracelet color is still holding up ?
Thanks for filming this video so quickly! One thing I found out that you didn’t mention is Neiman Marcus carries VCA! And they offer 30 day returns whereas the boutiques I heard only offer store credit or exchanges. VCA Online you can get a refund. I really love the onyx earrings on you! I always thought it wouldn’t stand out on me bc I have black hair too but the gold outline actually really makes it pop! Thanks for all the great info. It is SO helpful! 😘😘😘
Yes!! You’re right! Store credit is given if purchased in the stand alone boutique & refund for purchases online. I never purchased from the stores inside the department store- but it’s nice to know! Thank you!🤗🤗🤗 Gina❤️
Hiya! This is such a helpful video and everything was well explained! If you could pick a few minimal investment pieces (across vca, cartier etc) which don't require much babying, what would you pick? Thanks x
Hi. Seen video is 2020. Just wanted to know update for mother of pearl update of shrinking over time since you mentioned you don’t remove them? Wanting to get . Thank you
Your collection is so beautiful~~ I would love to own a VCA necklace some day!! Love your nail color btw, it looks like a nice fall color :) Have a great weekend Gina!!
Thank you for this video!! I have the MOP vintage necklace and I just purchased the sweet Alhambra MOP bracelet and I was paranoid I took them off every time showering. Good to know you haven’t had any issues with MOP xx
Thanks Gina 😊 You just answered one of my question. My Sweet Carnelian bracelet is loose too and it kept snagging. I will bring it to the boutique to get if fix.
Hello! I'm still deciding which one to buy. Correct me if I'm wrong. In earrings, whether it's 8 or 9mm they're always the stud one. And the bigger one (15mm) is always a clasp type? Thank you so much 💜
Hello! I am looking to buy my first sweet alhambra bracelet - do you find it moves a lot? As in would the stone go under your hand as it’s heavier? Thank you
Such a helpful video, thanks Gina. The bracelet is on my wishlist but I’m heavy handed and it looks too delicate for me. I need to see it when I’m next in London. Enjoy your weekend. 💕💕
GinaLvoe I will do thanks. It’s good to know they are hardwearing. I keep meaning to look at them each time I’m in London but am also apprehensive as once you start, it’s a slippery slope. I don’t think I will be able to stop with one bracelet 🤦🏻♀️. Great to see you back Gina. 💕💕
Love this video. I have my first VCA which was a gift, it is a pink alhambra necklace. I love it so much. I'm still doing my research on my next VCA item. Been liking the onyx so far.
Yesterday I got the same Onyx necklace and I like it a lot. I feel like the yellow gold on it is more like rose gold, compared to my Cartier yellow gold line.
Thanks for the info. But I believe referring to hardship scale, the tiger's eye is harder than mother-of-pearl and Malachite. Mother of pearl is the most fragile one among all VCA stones and cannot touch water.
Gina, you shared a lot of information here. Stunning VCA Collection. Like you dainty would be my choice so eloquent. Will have too as this video to a folder for reference. TFS 💕
One of my main questions was about taking off the bracelets during showering and working out. For that price, I’d better be able to leave them on and them not damaging...ijs 😂 I love your collection!
Hi! I watched this specific video countless times. I’m a new subscriber 😁 It’s just so informative! Anyway, can ask a question? I saw in other comments that you reply to them so I thought to give it a try.. I have the onyx vintage necklace and I had no problem showering with it. I would like to purchase next the MOP in sweet size but I’m wondering if it would be as durable as you said your bracelet was. Thank you so much if you have time to respond 😊❤️
Hi!❤️ I’m assuming a MOP in necklace version? I have the bracelet and I had zero problems with it!✨🙌🙌 I would assume the necklace would be the same? It’s the same thing but with the chain so I don’t see why it would be different?😅 I’m pretty confident to say that it’ll be as good!✨🙌🙌 Hope this helps!🤗🤗🤗 Gina❤️
@@GinaLvoe Yes, I was referring to MOP necklace (sorry it wasn’t clear) I guess you’re right, totally makes sense 😁 Thank you very much for your time. You are so friendly and down to earth. ❤️❤️❤️ God bless! ✨
Thank you so much! You’re too sweet!❤️❤️ The MOP necklace in the sweet size is so cute! Good choice!✨🙌🙌 Hope you have an amazing rest of your week & Gob bless you too!✨🙏🤗🤗 Gina❤️

Hi lvoe!❤️❤️ Yes I do😅😅 with the exception of rings~ I usually take those out as soon as I get home~ but earrings, necklaces and bracelets, I keep them on😅 Hope this helps!🤗🤗🤗 Gina❤️
Hi! Everyone has their own reasons but since the serial numbers are all different, some people like specific numbers. I personally don’t really care as long as it’s not triple 6 digits? Hope this helps!🤗🤗🤗 Gina❤️
Wowwwww! ✨💚✨ I told my hubby not to film to much or zoom in on details also. I got my first VCA 5 Alahambra motif bracelet from the boutique. 😍 thanks for sharing my lady! 😘😘😘Sandy
I just found your channel and have been loving your content! This video is super helpful for VCA newbies like me. I want to add a MOP Sweet Alhambra bracelet and it's good to know you wear it everyday worry free :)
Thank you Gina for the video! I need your help as I am planning to buy the five motifs MOP bracelet but I have very tiny wrist. Do you think I should get two of the sweet ones like yours?
Hi Viola!❤️ I think you can’t go wrong with either😊 if you like chunkier jewelry then the 5 motif would be perfect! I feel like the sweet Alhambra is something you can wear all day everyday and the 5 motif something you would take on and off? Just my thought❤️ Hope this helps!🤗🤗🤗 Gina❤️
Gina, thanks so much for the video! It has helped a lot. What do you know about the purple ish stone called Chalcedony? Does it wear like the green stone ? Any info is appreciated. I have been hesitant to buy it because I don’t want to take it off every day.
Ooo that stone is sooo pretty!!!😍😍😍 I honestly don’t know much about it😭😭 Maybe ask your SA? Our malls just opened on Monday and I haven’t been to vca in so long😩 I’ll try to find out next time I go in!🤗🤗🤗 Gina❤️
I’m trying to get the the Mother-of-pearl sweet Alhambra like yours! but apparently there’s a waiting list now.. Does anyone have any experience? They said it should be available within a month. Not sure how realistic that is..
Thanks for sharing. Just wanted to let you know something about onyx : "Cleaning onyx jewelry is pretty straightforward: Just use a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush to wipe any dirt off your gemstones. You can also use a little water to moisten the cloth and make the cleaning easier. Don't wet the stone or soak it in water, however, as onyx is porous and absorbs liquids easily."
thanks for the superb review!♡♡♡ surprised about the heating up when cooking fact. was considering between this v.s. cartier amulette in mother of pearl & was worried about the "shrinking".
Thank you for backing me in that one comment!❤️❤️❤️ I’m not too familiar with Cartier’s Amulette mother of Pearl but if I had to pick, I would go for the VCA! It’s classic VCA!🤗🤗🤗 Gina❤️
@@GinaLvoe you are most welcome dear, keep it up with the great reviews! thanks so much, ur video was really helpful.. i'm going to the stores to try on both! =D hope to see more of ur videos =D liked + subscribed
Aww Thank you!!!❤️ Hope you have an amazing time at VCA! Make sure you ask for their chocolate! They come in from France and it’s soo yummy!✨🤗🤗🤗 Gina❤️
I really want the MOP bracelet but do you think I could wear it on the same wrist as my 2 love bracelets? I wear my Cartier tank watch on my left wrist & definitely wouldn’t wear it with that. I’m so dependent on always having a watch on.
I think it depends on your wrist size. The bracelets (sweet version) has 2 adjustments which is nice! Because it’s a chain it overlaps over my love bracelets but the sweet Alhambra are a bit on the bigger side on me😅 I wear size 16 on my love but could have gone for the 15 too! hope this helps!🤗🤗🤗 Gina❤️
Hi Lvoe! If you watch the video, the prices are all on the screen shots I post on the actual video. The red one is stunning!✨🙌 Hope this helps!🤗🤗🤗 Gina♥️
Hi! For the sweet Alhambra it only comes in one size. But there’s 2 length options which makes it very helpful! You can chose to wear it in the smaller setting or the bigger setting. If it still doesn’t fit, VCA will add more length (which is amazing!)✨🙌🙌 Hope this helps!🤗🤗🤗 Gina❤️
With your Sweet Alhambra bracelets, did you have to get them sized or is the smallest jump ring setting good from stopping the bracelet from moving around?
The sweet Alhambra bracelets have 2 different settings and I just wear them in the shortest setting. I have small wrist so it still moves around. I thought about shortening them... but I don’t want to take away the gold😂😂 But it’s an option😊 Hope this helps!🤗🤗🤗 Gina❤️
Actually VCA does special holiday pieces they only make that one year and then not again. The sweet bracelet in the black was made a few years ago. So it may be real.
Oooooooo really?! That is amazing to know!! I was aware of their special holiday pieces but I was told it was never made for the sweet bracelets. But maybe my SA was wrong?🤷🏻♀️ Thanks for sharing love!🤗🤗🤗 Gina♥️
Awww sorry to hear babe!😭 I agree tho, I wouldn’t be able to handle having it take it on and off on the daily! Hope you have an amazing weekend!🤗🤗🤗 Gina❤️
This is really useful, thanks! I’m interested in the mother of pearl. But since I go to the gym a lot, I’m quite hesitant to get it. It’s good to know that it’s not as delicate as my SA said it is.
Gina, can you tell me the carat size of the diamonds you wear in your second hole? I am planning to get diamond studs to wear with my onyx studs just like you do, but I can't decide on the size!
In regards to the service, Cartier is impeccable, and I’ve been to many different boutiques all over the world. I wasn’t impressed with VCA customer service.
Aww sorry to hear love! I guess I got lucky then? I absolutely love the service at vca✨🙌 I haven’t had too much luck with customer service with Cartier!😭😭 I recently came across a wonderful SA at Cartier & hoping it will change my perspective? The SAs at my local Cartier boutique (last 3-4 times I went in) were too snobby!😭😭😭 Gina❤️
The quality is great~ probably similar as fine jewelry but with these fashion houses, most definitely, we’re paying more because of their name🤷🏻♀️😅 Hope you have an amazing Sunday!🤗🤗🤗 Gina❤️
Jessica C Nice! I should look into it🙃 Wonder if it’s a limited edition or if it’s here to stay. Sounds beautiful tho! I love vca rose gold!❤️ Thank you!🤗🤗🤗 Gina❤️
Hello may I know if the earrings and pendants of your sweet alhambra have “Vca” engraving on the sides of the pendant? i bought mine from a reseller and just makinf sure that this is a real one. Thanks :)
Hi! On the side of the earrings? No it doesn’t (it’s on the back) I don’t have the necklace with me right now (I’m at work) but I don’t think there was one one the side either? You might want to look at photos on Fashionphile. They have nice closeups on VCA Stampings. Hope this helps!🤗🤗🤗 Gina❤️
Yes it is! & actually I think it has a lot to do with the thickness! I recently decided to switch them and had no problems with my love bracelet while cooking!✨🙌🤗🤗🤗 Gina❤️
Van cleef is so crazily expensive but so sooo beautifullll!
This was very helpful as I’m like you and don’t like to remove my jewelry daily. My mother of pearl Sweet Alhambra is on its way, and looking forward to adding this piece & wearing it daily.

You don't take them off in shower??!! Thanks for sharing! so helpful
I am loving your videos! Thanks for the reviews - it's helping me make my mind up about pieces!
Did you buy the necklace pendant and chain separately or did the chain come with the pendant?😍
Girl, if you can afford multiple VCA, you should have someone doing your cooking :-)
MOP is actually very sensitive - after onyx and carnelian agate would be stronger than malachite (green) or mop
Love your collection 🖤
So the necklace are the chains durable they seem so thin and flimsy ? Any issues with the chains

Awww sorry to hear babe!😭 I agree tho, I wouldn’t be able to handle having it take it on and off on the daily! Hope you have an amazing weekend!🤗🤗🤗 Gina❤️
This is really useful, thanks! I’m interested in the mother of pearl. But since I go to the gym a lot, I’m quite hesitant to get it. It’s good to know that it’s not as delicate as my SA said it is.
Oh yay!! So glad to hear that it was helpful! Yes! Most definitely not as delicate as they say!🤗🤗🤗 Gina❤️
The green gemstone is malachite, the brown gem stone is tiger’s eye.
Thank you! I completely blanked out!😅😅 Thank you for backing me, I truly appreciate it!✨❤️🤗🤗 Gina❤️

That strange they said for the pearl you should never ever take a shower with that one because that is the most delicate I am confused
From the van clef arpel website You should avoid showering with mother of pearl jewelry.
Gina, can you tell me the carat size of the diamonds you wear in your second hole? I am planning to get diamond studs to wear with my onyx studs just like you do, but I can't decide on the size!
Hi Gina! I've watched you for years and drooled over your VCA poeces. I'm now the proud owner of a white vintage MOP necklace.😘

In regards to the service, Cartier is impeccable, and I’ve been to many different boutiques all over the world. I wasn’t impressed with VCA customer service.
Aww sorry to hear love! I guess I got lucky then? I absolutely love the service at vca✨🙌 I haven’t had too much luck with customer service with Cartier!😭😭 I recently came across a wonderful SA at Cartier & hoping it will change my perspective? The SAs at my local Cartier boutique (last 3-4 times I went in) were too snobby!😭😭😭 Gina❤️
GinaLvoe that’d be nice if the service was consistently excellent 😉
Seriously right?!?!🤗🤗🤗 Gina❤️
I really don't get VCA. It's so expensive for the materials and the craftsmanship is no different from usual fine jewelry
The quality is great~ probably similar as fine jewelry but with these fashion houses, most definitely, we’re paying more because of their name🤷🏻♀️😅 Hope you have an amazing Sunday!🤗🤗🤗 Gina❤️
They came out with a new dark grey stone. Looks pretty but never saw in person
Really?! In the sweet Alhambra? Or the vintage Alhambra?! Oooo sounds stunning!😍😍😍 Gina❤️
GinaLvoe vintage. In rose gold $2,550
Jessica C Nice! I should look into it🙃 Wonder if it’s a limited edition or if it’s here to stay. Sounds beautiful tho! I love vca rose gold!❤️ Thank you!🤗🤗🤗 Gina❤️
This was really helpful but why should I invest so much in the malachite and not be able to take a shower with it why not invest in real gold ?🙈
The store is giving printed look books, don’t need to screenshot your video to replicate.
Hello may I know if the earrings and pendants of your sweet alhambra have “Vca” engraving on the sides of the pendant? i bought mine from a reseller and just makinf sure that this is a real one. Thanks :)
Hi! On the side of the earrings? No it doesn’t (it’s on the back) I don’t have the necklace with me right now (I’m at work) but I don’t think there was one one the side either? You might want to look at photos on Fashionphile. They have nice closeups on VCA Stampings. Hope this helps!🤗🤗🤗 Gina❤️
GinaLvoe thanks I’ll check that one
🤗🤗🤗 Gina❤️
Its metal, metal heats up quickly when in contact with heat nothing to do with thinness of bracelet
Yes it is! & actually I think it has a lot to do with the thickness! I recently decided to switch them and had no problems with my love bracelet while cooking!✨🙌🤗🤗🤗 Gina❤️
wish i could afford a van cleef bracelet 🥲😍
Anybody know what happen to her?? I miss her
