    Hi everyone! Over the last couple of months, I have received quite a number of questions both on IG as well as irl on how my VCA bracelet has been holding up. And considering, I have been wearing my Vintage Alhambra five motif bracelet almost on a daily for well over a year now, I figured it was about time I talk you through my experience and thoughts. I hope you enjoy :)
    And if you are looking for a more in-depth video about the purchasing process and my initial review after 3 months plus a Q&A, check out this video: • VAN CLEEF & ARPELS VIN...

    I was debating between this mop bracelet and the guilloche and have decided to get the guilloche bracelet first. The MOP bracelet is still on my wishlist as I do also feel it’s more of a casual piece that you can wear daily. Thank you for sharing💕. New subbie and a fellow UA-camr here😊

    • @LesleyAdina

      I’m sure you’ll love the guilloché one. The intricate carving and how sparkly it is, make it such a special piece. Plus the full gold is probably a little more carefree than the MOP. Thank you for watching and welcome to my little UA-cam community :)

    Beautiful bracelet! I am so glad you are still loving it. Do you find it to be more of a statement or dainty piece? 🥰

    • @LesleyAdina
      @LesleyAdina  2 роки тому

      I‘ts definitely more on that dainty side. That being said, the mother of pearl and the gold is so beautiful and sparkly that is does make a subtle statement :)

    I have the very same bracelet (though I had mine resized to fit my small wrist... and because I was scared that I would bump it into a table or something, lol). I have to "polish" mine using a soft cloth because sometimes I think the mother of pearl gets a bit "dirty", or there is some dust on it or something. Do you do the same thing ? I love this bracelet though, I wear it every day as well.

    • @LesleyAdina
      @LesleyAdina  2 роки тому

      I’m so glad it’s an everyday piece of jewelry for you as well :) I have actually never polished it either. I will have to look into that. Do you use a specific polishing cloth that you’d recommend?

    • @Liz86000

      @@LesleyAdina It's a soft cloth, kind of like the one you would use to clean your glasses or your computer, see what I mean ? It's actually from Cartier. I've bought the necklace with the pendant Amulette in malachite and there was a cleaning kit with it and the soft cloth was inside.

    I really love this design but i love my gold to be solid 22k or 24k. This has stopped me from buying vca/ cartier 😅😅😅😅😅

    Can you wash your hands with this? I’am between this one and the guilloche alhambra🙃

    • @LesleyAdina
      @LesleyAdina  2 роки тому +1

      I don’t take it off when I’m washing my hands but try to not get it wet. The full gold is probably a lot more carefree because you don’t have to worry about how the material would react to water. It’s a tough choice. Both options are beautiful.
