Looking forward to your video on the Dior Rose des Vents! There’re just so little videos on YT on that line!
Haha yeah it doesn’t seem to be that popular which I understand because Dior doesn’t specialize in fine jewelry.
I wanted to look at VCA pieces in person but I find a little awkward to go into the store to just browse. 😅 The necklace really suits your style!
Haha I’m like that sometimes too. That’s what caused most of my impulse purchases in the past because I feel like I should get something so I’m not wasting the SA’s time 😅🙈
the sweet alhambra is so cute and dainty...i was thinking about this..or the Amulette de Cartier since it has a diamond.
Ooh that’s an interesting one too!
It does look like the perfect thing to wear as a layering thing.
Definitely! I wear it layered with my other necklaces all the time and it matches everything.
love your sweet + much prefer the sweet over vintage! I do love the magic size pendants as love the long chain + that pendant can be moved!
I prefer it when a pendant can move along the chain rather than being stuck in place too. I wonder why they made some one way and some the other.
Absolutely stunning on you!🤩💖 Definitely would love to add it to my collection…
Thanks Claudia! It definitely would be a great piece for any collection 😊
Great video! From my point of view the sweet size is slightly more suitable for girls from Eastern Asia. And more fit for casual outfits. Just got one from VCA Taipei for my Mom❤
What a thoughtful gift for your mom!
So pretty. I can’t decide on what VCA piece I want first but this one is lovely.
Do you have a few you’re choosing between?
@@CAROLCHANNELINGCHIC yes. I can’t decide between the 5 motif onyx or the 6 motif hammered pink gold. I want them both so I’m thinking of going to the store when I can purchase both. If I got one I know I’ll want the other lol
Haha they’re addictive for sure...can’t stop at just one. I have my eyes on a few others too 😅
So cute, layered it with the diamond by the yard by T&C.
Ooh yes the two look perfect layered together.
I love this size as well and prefer it over the vintage alhambra. Just got one in rose gold carnelian and I've been wearing it daily, the red stone adds a nice glow to my face
Congrats on your carnelian necklace! 🥳❤️ I like the vintage size when there’s multiple motifs on one piece but the single motif ones don’t really appeal to me as much.
@@CAROLCHANNELINGCHIC Thanks! And agreed, I do like the multiple motifs in the vintage size, saving up for a 10 motif necklace one day hahaha
Very informative, thank you, especially about the perfume.
Love this necklace! I own this one as well and enjoy wearing it on the regular!
Same - I love how versatile it is. I don’t have to worry about it not matching my outfit and accessories.
I love this necklace, it's on my wish list, the same size but in the rose gold, carnelian. I don't think it's too small at all. Will you be getting the bracelet and/or earrings to match?
I may get a pair of earrings but probably not a bracelet. I think I would be too worried about getting it wet every time I wash my hands.
So pretty. I’m torn between this and the butterfly.
Me too
@@knowingluxe you made a great choice. It’s so classic. 🥰
I love the design of the rose des vents necklacr but realised the chain is not as shiny as the VCA one!
Yeah that is true unfortunately.
I definitely want this set. It’s not too small at all for me because I prefer dainty jewelry. The original Alhambra is too clunky for my taste.
Very timely as I've been considering getting either a necklace or pair of earrings from the alhambra line. Did you try on any of the earrings, and if so, what did you think? I'm leaning toward mother of pearl as well for the stone as I think it's the most versatile
I didn’t try on any earrings but I would consider getting a pair in the future. I would either pick mother of pearl or onyx for the earrings...I don’t understand why their selection for earrings differs from necklaces though.
Love your video. I’m torn between this and the diamond version of sweet Alhambra. Any thoughts?
The diamond one is quite pretty too and more carefree but I also think it’s a lot of money for such tiny diamonds. I just looked it up and it’s only 0.08 carats altogether 😧
Thanks for replying:) I think so too, but since I’m quite clumsy, I would like to ask if mop is hard to take care of?
As a necklace, I don’t think it matters if you’re clumsy or not. I’m quite clumsy myself too. The main thing to keep in mind with the MOP is to not get it wet. Aside from that I don’t have to be extra careful with it.
Thanks so much. Im about to buy this one too. Just a quick question .. do u wear this one daily?
I don’t wear mine daily but it would make a great daily piece as long as you don’t get it wet.
I much prefer the Vintage size personally (I have two). The sweet looks lovely on you.
Which two do you have?
Have anyone showered with it everyday?
Hi! When purchasing does it include the chain necklace? Or just the pendant itself? Thanks
You get the chain too.
How many grams? And karats? Is this also pawnable? Thanks
18 carat gold for the necklace. Yes.. they are pawnable, and have a higher resale price
Hi did you lengthen the necklace or keep the original size of 40cm? Thanks 🙏
It’s the original length.
Lovely necklace you have ❤️ May I ask you about durability of the chain for 24/7 wear
I don’t wear mine 24/7 because of the mother of pearl but I think it should be fine since I’ve never have any issues with any chain no matter how thin it is. I am more worried about it getting tangled with other chains though so if you’re wearing multiple necklaces 24/7 then it might be a problem.
@@CAROLCHANNELINGCHICThank you so much for replying much appreciated and I feel you ☺️ it could be a annoying when it tangled. I have my eyes on plain rose gold one for now. Regarding to size of the pendant, do you think it is small for 5.9" (my height) to wear for life since my country is currently under the lockdown I cannot go see myself.
What kind of jewelry do you usually wear? If you typically like small dainty pieces of jewelry that are subtle I think the sweet size will still work with your height.
@@CAROLCHANNELINGCHIC I wear lots of jewellery in a daily basis there are mix and match of danty and statement piece ☺️
In that case I think it’s a good choice so you can easily pair it with your other jewelry too 😊
Mrrrhhh... I wear mine to shower all the time and it’s fine 😂 but perfume I’d be careful with because it can stain it
What model do you have? I really want a MOP piece, but people made me so scared and the water damaging it that I’m so excitante…
@@claudiakalkbrenner4148 I have the MOP too in the sweet size - yes sure the MOP may not be “glowing” because of soap etc… but not like “broken”… and replacing them are only around $250 if you ever want to do that.
I finally picked up the same necklace yesterday.. I’m so happy 😀 with my new purchase 🥰 check out my unboxing 💝 great vid !
