I really adore this Guilloché 5 motif bracelet. 🍀 What I love about this you can wear it 24/7. It catches the light and very stunning. 🤩 Thanks for the in-depth review.
Yes! Being able to wear it 24/7 makes all worth it in the end!
Thank you for posting this, Jasleen! I was one of the subscribers who requested this on IG and really appreciate how thorough you always are 💗 this definitely makes me feel more confident about my purchase of this bracelet!
Oh I’m so glad you found it helpful!
You were an absolute delight to watch like always ! :) I share very similar sentiments about gold jewelry as a fellow south Asian and it was very refreshing to hear an honest feedback with no frills attached. You sure have positively influenced me with my future designer fine jewelry purchases :) Thank you loads !
Oh thanks you so much, Varsha!
Beautiful Guilloché! I have the matching 10 motif necklace and earrings…best Alhambra set ever and I am loving them.
Oh wow! Lucky you! I’m tempted by the necklace!
The necklace is a Very versatile piece, goes with every Alhambra line and outfit.
This is one of my top five best purchases of all time. I adore this bracelet.
Glad you love it!
Thanks for this review. I was curious about the Guilloche. Very thorough. ❤
You are so welcome!
Hey! Shakeen I really really love your new new bracelet so so much and I really love your vlogs so so much you inspired me so so much and I wish you reach 8K Subscribers very very soon!🌸✨💞
Thank you Mansoor!
Great review Jasleem, I love the guilloché pieces. Btw, you could request for VCA to change the clasp to a bigger and easier one to put it on your own, I did it with mine and it was complementary 😉
Oh thanks Taty! I think you mentioned that to me before! I definitely will ask!
The only 5 motif that is “worth it” in my opinion. They are all overprice but at least this is SOLID it’s weighty and stunning. Love it
Thank you! Yeah, the stones are pretty, but I'd rather just get all gold...or diamonds lol
Very beautiful bracelet. I also love you leave it on always. I have a Tiffany bracelet that I leave on always but this bracelet is just stunning.🥰
Thank you, Lynn!
Your ring is gorgeous hunty❤
Thank you!!
Nice bracelet! What do you think about the white mother of pearl version?
Thank you! I think it’s stunning! But I don’t trust myself with maintaining it 😂
Hey Jasleen, I’m not a designer jewellery fan. As you stated in out Asian culture we have beautiful stunning jewellery. 24 carat and 22 we do get are ornate pieces. I have been thinking about getting this bracelets. Great review. Thanks
Glad you found it helpful, Tasneem! Yes, there are so many beautiful and unique designs available- it can be overwhelming! I would say I do like the tone of 18k gold. I suppose I can always request for a piece to be made in 18k gold by Asian jewellery stores but they’d probably think I’m crazy 😂
@@therealshakeen You know how our desi individuals think 😂. My mum can’t hand understand my handbag obsession. If I was to choose over jewellery and a handbag. It would be the latter 😂
How much is the weight of the bracelet?
The bracelet is stunning it’s smart that you don’t wear it with other bracelets. My friend did she scratched hers up so badly. She ended up selling it.
Thank you! Oh no! Thats awful it scratched!
Have you resized it?
I love this bracelet! Enjoy it. I agree that it’s beautiful on its own. No need to stack it, it’s striking! Where did you purchase it? France?
Thank you! Yes I did!
How many grams gold ? Vintange alambra
Loved this review! Been thinking about this for awhile
Also tip: I think the camera doesn’t focus because it’s trained to focus on your face. So beyond bringing the object closer to the camera, you should also obscure your face :)
Oh thanks for the tip! I'm not super high tech and there are a ton of features on cameras that I barely understand lol. I will try that next time!
It’s beautiful 😍😍
Thank you!
I have this bracelet and have 4 vintage Alhambra with different stones too, I was wearing them 24/7 until one night. I have long hair and was sleeping one night with my hair down, my bracelets got tangled in my hair I had to cut them out. Anyway I love them very much but I do remove them while sleeping showering etc. I have Cartier as well but VCA pieces are my favorite. I wear 5 VCA on my right arm, and 2 just en cleu 1 love on my left arm with watch and it is a lot but I love it so I guess I am that b****🤣.
Hahaha love it!!! Oh no! It got tangled! 😭
@@therealshakeen yes girl tangled my husband had to cut 5 bracelets out of my hair, and then had to go to salon for damage repair 🤣🤣🤣, it was a disaster.
@@birkinboy3976 oh my god! 😭
what do you mean by customs? were you travelling at the airport? do you have to carry the certificate everywhere with you? great video~
Thank you! So if you purchase an item in Europe and you want to get your VAT back, you have to visit the customs desk before you check in your luggage. The customs agent needs to verify you are exporting this piece out of the country to grant you eligibility to receive a VAT refund. When arriving to your home city, you need to show customs what you are importing and pay the applicable taxes (which is why the price is almost the same).
If travelling with said piece in the future, it is wise to keep a photo of your proof of purchase for anything you may be wearing or carrying that is of significant value - just Incase customs challenges you that you are importing this piece (even though you’ve purchased it before).
Do you think if I got the guilloche short necklace, it would scratch less? I tried it on and was obsessed with the shine but don’t what to get it if that’s going to fade
Oh definitely it would scratch less. Earrings, pendant, and necklace wouldn't necessary contact as many surfaces as would a bracelet. I'd say go for it!
Even my bracelet is still shiny. I don't think it fades.
@@therealshakeen thank you! 😊
Review your ring, it look stunning!!
Thank you!
Great review, love this bracelet. I have one and usually stack it with MOP bracelet. Amazing how you are not tempted to buy other bracelets. I already bought 4 items within 3 months. Did you eat their tiny chocolates. 😂
Hahahah, I think I'll resist the temptation for more haha. I think I'll want the necklace next. I did get the little chocolates! So good!
I have always wanted to save for this bracelet but like what you mentioned, I always think that 24k would be more justified over 18k designer jewelry. Is this bracelet 24k? It's really so so beautiful but I'm not sure it's worth the designer price tag although I can wear it daily.
It’s 18k gold. Realistically, 24k would be way too soft - for any jewellery. 22K is standard in Asian jewellery though. Some may prefer the tone of 18k versus 22k as the latter may be too yellow. At the end of the day, even if it is 22 or 24k gold, we’re still paying a designer premium on it.
24ct gold is way too yellow, it just doesn’t look nice in my opinion. Each to their own, but I much prefer the 18k gold. Your bracelet is stunning, thanks for sharing ❤️
Thank you Abby! I prefer the tone of 18 kt myself. I think 24 and 22 was mores used as a way to store wealth into jewellery.
Would love to see a video to show your traditional Indian jewelry or dresses.
Of course!
@@therealshakeen I have many Indian colleagues and we always celebrate Diwali. Their dresses are just so beautiful color is amazing. Always want to get one of those dress for Diwali every year. ;)
You look great! I’m a little off topic, but what is the brand and what size is your necklace? It looks so pretty
Thank you! I actually purchased this necklace from Ana Luisa - it’s a lab Diamond set in solid 14k gold. It was about $400. They also have a version in gold plated silver. I’d recommend the solid gold since it won’t tarnish. I wear mine everyday and love it.
@@therealshakeen thanks for replying ! Can you shower with it?
@@grapefruitbnb yes
Great review. Thanks for sharing. New subscriber.
Thanks for the sub!
Where is your diamond necklace from?
It’s actually a lab Diamond necklace from Ana Luisa - it’s the solid 14k gold version. Highly recommend- I wear it daily and hardly take it off
Thanks for ur perspective on 22 kt Indian jewelry.I kind of feel the same way that designer jewelry is 18 kt and not 22kt.
Yes! Although I do enjoy the tone of 18k gold!
22 and 24ct is too yellow, it’s not attractive on many skin types. The tone of the 18k is why it’s so popular.
@@abbylux6991 true. I think 22kt and even 24kt gold was used because jeweller was seen as a way of storing wealth (an asset).
customs was checking your bracelet?
Yes. They match the serial number to the receipt to ensure it reflects the item you are exporting and importing
May I ask : what do you do professionally? Thx
I’m a Chiropractor 👩⚕️
Your husband is very lucky you can crack him lol
@@katemiller7874 😂 you’d be interested to know that we weren’t allowed to treat our spouse! I think they lifted that restriction recently.
Oh wow gosh I hope so for his sake.
Is your necklace the Cartier D’Amour?
Hi Abby! Actually no it’s not. It’s a lab Diamond set in 14k solid gold that I purchased from Ana Luisa. I wear it everyday and almost never take it off. Very happy with it.
I thought only Tiffany did this design. I looked up the Cartier version and I had no idea they had something like this - price point is great too for the design house.
I really enjoy mine though!
@@therealshakeen oh it looks beautiful on you xx
You look great
Thank you!
Great review. The only thing with 22 or 24 carat gold is that they scratch very easily. That is why most designer jewelry is not made using that type of gold. The intense gold, although beautiful, also dont look as flattering on all skin tones.
Yes exactly! Like 22k or softer. I like the tone of 18k gold better than 22!
That is correct. No way would I purchase anything over 18 karat.
Mannnnnn what do you do for a living and do you need a dog cause I cam bark woof woof lol I'm half indian well native and east Indian.. yes gold is a big deal but i have someone back home make them and it works out cheaper and comes out better.
Hahaha awww. You are not a dog! lol. I'm a Chiropractor!
Im Asian and we like 24 carat gold but they are way too golf looking and out of style. I don’t want of them anymore.
Hey Kay, yes 22-24K gold can look a but too yellow. I think it depends how it's styled. I do like the colour fo 18K and the added durability!
Lol I knew you were Canadian when you pronounced Cartier and guilloché in French 😉
Haha! I've been told! Also apparently my accent is quite Canadian sounding to Americans - I had no idea lol. I thought we sounded the same.
