    Beautiful bracelets! I own several VCA pieces and I agree with you that their quality and craftmanship are far superior to other luxury brands. One reminder on wearing the bracelets with one motif dangling, overtime the clasp will really scratch up the chain, which is a bummer because they've done such wonderful job polishing the chain to make it extra shiny and sparkly. Unless you see yourself switching the bracelet to a choker often, you may be better have them shorten to fit your wrist nicely. Before I had my 5 motifs shorten I also wore it with a motif dangling and I personally found it to be very uncomfortable to wear, and kind of look like a knockoff because they always come in the same length that can't be adjusted.

      Thanks 😊 tbh I know I never buy fake stuff but if someone thinks that, I don’t think I would care lol

    Consider a chalcedony vintage Alhambra piece. It is from the same agate stone family as carnelian and onyx with similar durability. It has a beautiful light blue to purple hue.

    Great review, Jen! I have the guilloche and diamonds alhambra bracelet, wear it daily since I got it slightly over a year ago. Agree that their 5 motif bracelet is a very classic and versatile piece from VCA. Blessings xoxo

    thanks for this review! I have an mop and onyx already and I would love to get the carnelian as I think the color pops more than the onyx

    Hello Jen! The recent launch was the mixed guilloche and carnelian bracelet. I’m thinking should I get this new launch or the all carnelian one in yellow gold. The carnelian shade tends to be more brighter on the yellow gold as compare to rose gold. What are your thoughts? 😊

    • @jenluxe

      I love both lol but I have not seen the rose gold in person and they are both very close ❤️ let me know what you get!

      Initially at first look, the mixed caught my eye and I fell in love but it seems like a short crush lol. Now I’m leaning more towards full red as it is such a classic piece. 😅

    If you are wearing it daily, I have found that is does scratch, but the design conceals the appearance of scratches. I have to look hard, and hold it at different angles to spot them.

      I’m sure it does but I want to wear it so I’m okay ❤️ yup

    Love your videos. I still have phobia wearing my carnelian bracelet to shower. Have you noticed any issues with it since you wear it 24/7?
