    I am so glad you decided to return your pendant. Jewelry is to give you joy and happiness, not regret and anxiety. It didn’t matter if anyone else saw the issues, you did, and that is all that mattered.

    Omg, you brought up the right point about depositing your $$$ and waiting for 3-6 months for your piece to deliver and once it is delivered, it may be a defective piece or the color isn't the color you wanted. Now, you'll have return and get a refund, then re-order another piece. At this time, you've already paid your CC. Plus with a few thousand dollars, you can put in a high-yield savings account to earn 5% or more interest. Why should we want to go through this headache? This is more like we're lending money to Van Cleef for zero-interest return, and they'll use our money for their own investment. Van Cleef is a huge scam.

    I wish VCA would use rarer / more unique stones for their Alhambra line. AAA Labradorite would be the first on my wish list.
    No disrespect btw - The carnelian gem you bought is absolutely gorgeous. :)

      @@SibyllaMirage no way! My dziadek was born in Ukraine. We didn’t even know until we found some old documents. & What is it with Polish mama’s?! My friend is Ukrainian and we were talking about the jeans. Also how we had to eat all our food because there are children starving in Africa. What children did I save?! Also my mum always mentions how they had no shoes and that they used a piece of wood as the base of the shoe and then wrapped their foot around it! I guess what they went through, we have strength in our dna! But the way you speak, it’s like me, I’m pisces and quite blunt!

      My grandma (my mom's mom) had 8 siblings and all of them lived in Poland, and I never met most of my relatives from that side.. Lmao, we definitely didn't save any children hahaha, I wasn't allowed to leave the table before I finished my meal. My dad came up with another lie, he said that if I eat my food, my boobs would grow, but they never did, what a liar. I love pieces, very direct 🙌 @@zsmx3

    Omgosh!!! lol, I legit thought you were about to show us! 🤣🤣🤣 Anyways, I’m so happy you were able to take it back and replace it with something else! And I’m going to guess that you got the Vintage Alhambra Pendant in Malachite. 💚 I think that’s the next piece that I want, so maybe I just want that for you, haha! ☺️
    Oh, and no disrespect to your parents, because maybe they did the best they could, but that breaks my heart that you felt guilty about needing basic items. No child should ever have to feel guilty for needing something as simple as a pair of pants and a coat. It’s not your fault. You were just born. So I’m glad you’re finally at peace and I hope you know now that none of that was ever your fault.

    I grew up middle class but my mom was so cheap and made me feel like we were living in poverty. I was never allowed nice things either. Nice things = the Devil. She’s still this way … sad. Anyway probably why I hoard vca now lol. I always connect with your stories in such a way, you have a beautiful energy thank you for sharing. Congratulations on your new piece! Could it be… a Magic Alhambra? Malachite? Or carnelian vintage earrings? That’s what I’m going with lol can’t wait to see. Xo

    I am happy they took your problem seriously. I am really upset that such a high end brand has this issue, i told you 2 days ago i had an issue too with a mother of pearl and i couldn’t imagine , ever, that i must come to look under magnifying glass for defects at van cleef….

    I’ve been to South Coast many times and maybe they had an incident that caused the no dog policy because unfortunately, some dog owners aren’t as responsible.
    I too grew up in a very low income household, which isn’t a bad thing, but it made me have a drive and ambition to work harder for the luxuries I want. ❤

    Unfortunately I find many Asian businesses are not pet friendly as they carefully consider those who are afraid of animals I guess. For me, our pets should be included in every part of the environment haha. Anyway I’m guessing u got the malachite or something with diamond. I find the vintage Alhambra pendant with diamond is stunning but the price is insanely high so I’ve been only drooling over it 😂
