oh my god you guys i'm going to unbox my
new van cleef and the alpha purchase
with you i'll share all the details
about this piece including the price and
i will talk about really really
important things that you need to know
about this piece and also my thoughts at
the end of the video if you are
interested in this piece as well all the
timeline and the details will be linked
down below in the description box for
you and definitely leave me a comment
down below to let me know what do you
think of my new purchase let's get right
into the video so i want to show you
what comes with the purchase first
and if you watched my recent vancleef
shopping lock you know that i visit van
cleef boutique and
they are newly opened in the san
francisco and i was a little surprised
and i know this piece was on my list and
this piece just arrived so fast and you
can see this is another box of chocolate
that i have received from vancleaf and
recently i just have had too much
chocolates from them i tried on so many
beautiful new pieces and i'm just so
happy that now we have a finally or
corporate evently boutique in san
francisco that i will have so many more
options that i will be able to try and
well
it smells so good i think this is the
booklet about their lames on the
chocolate it's
it's so delicious if you haven't and you
have to try these are the different
flavors and here is a travel pouch
if you see this travel pouch you
probably guessed that what piece is that
because usually this is for the buy
multi bracelet it's just so easy for
storage and traveling too
and there's another item is i think this
is yeah so
this is the receipt and i'll show you
the price details in the price section
of the video and then it also comes with
the
vancliff
booklet and this is the boutique details
and this is all the care advice and the
service is how you should be caring for
different stones and what kind of
services that they provide i already
have a dedicated video vanclee buying
guide to talk about everything that you
need to know for your rankly purchase
i'll definitely leave that video down
below in the description box for you to
check it out there are a lot of super
important and useful information there
if you are considering purchase from
this brand and this is the authenticity
certificate from vancleeve this side is
basically have individual serial number
of the piece that i just purchased and
there is also a reference number and
also date of purchase and there is a
stamp on there it said san francisco
vancleeve and appels i'm so excited
another item that um it comes from is i
was asking them for the jewelry cleaning
cloth the vancleef one and then they
said they are out of stock right now so
they give me this white microfiber cloth
the sales associate told me that this is
like a eyeglass um cloth so it's really
really soft that you could be using it
for jewelry if you have any eyeglass
cloth and you can use them for cleaning
your jewelry pieces as well and that's
it from the purchase and then the most
important one is here if you remember my
sweet home bar that i purchased online
from their e-boutique you probably
remember that it came in a giant big box
which was really really nice so if you
buy it from the boutique you don't get a
big box but then the nice thing is you
get everything else and you get the
experience you get to try on different
other beautiful pieces and also you do
get their chocolate
that's just a small difference here so
in my vca's shopping vlog i tried on a
couple of different fine motif bracelet
and the one is the five diamonds all
diamonds with yellow gold and the one is
a mix of gill shade with the diamond
piece and the other one is gray mother
of pearl with the diamond mix and then
there's another piece that has been on
my wish list for the longest time i
really really wanted to try on last time
but they didn't have that piece
available and that's why i asked you
guys did a vote for me in the community
page and you can see this is the box how
the box looks like and the bottom and if
you want to take a last guess pause the
video leave me a comment down below and
see if you guessed this piece right
otherwise after serious consideration
and referring to all the votes from you
guys and this is the final piece that i
purchased for myself as this year's
mother's day gift so you ready
tada
[Laughter]
so this is my vintage alhambra
fine motif bracelet in gil shade and
yellow gold that i have been waited for
the longest time and it has been all my
wishlist luxury wish list for this year
as well and i'm so so so happy to
receive it it's just so beautiful and
it's so timeless and uh you open it up
here the bracelet is so timeless so
elegant so shiny the picture videos
really really don't do its justice and
it's just crazy beautiful i just love
the full leaf clover design and i firmly
believe in the lock it brings me getting
this bracelet itself is already super
lucky right this is how the bracelet
looks on me right now it's quite long
which i'll talk a little bit more about
the sizing in the next section but then
besides the bracelet i'm also
gonna wear this as a necklace
probably not gonna layer it with
all these other pieces but you can
imagine right even wearing it as a fine
motif necklace it still looks really
really pretty if i resize this bracelet
the bracelet will have to take out a lot
of links actually i tried on the
bracelet the shortest the size that they
can do in the boutique but actually is
still quite loose on me and i did a lot
of research and investigation on myself
and most likely i'm not gonna resize
this piece if you are interested in all
the tips and tricks on how to resizing
how to wear easily yourself and how to
do this without resizing leave me a
comment to let me know if you want a
video on this i'll definitely work on it
to share everything that you wanted to
know the other thing i want to mention
is that i thought before every single
piece only has 90 days to do the
resizing for free for the very first
time right but this time my essay told
me that i have one year time or one
year's window from the purchase day to
decide if i want to resize this piece
and i can always go back to
that later and which is a good news i
guess for most of us because we will
have longer window to make the decision
so now let me share with you the price
details recently that they had a price
increase but luckily it only affected
the um this is just some information
about some text or something it only
affected the high jewelry diamond and
the song water pieces and the vintage
alhambra wasn't affected which is great
so i was still able to get the piece
with the existing same price but my
essay did mention that the price might
go up later this year so just a fyi and
the piece i paid for in the boutique is
five thousand three hundred fifty
dollars and the tax i paid is 461.44
and the total came out to be 5811.69
yep oh there's a bag fee for 25 cents
that's why so one of the major reason
for me to decide on this piece instead
of
the other diamond pieces that i was
seriously considering earlier is because
the diamond pieces are like thirteen
thousand dollars above with two
i think with two diamonds this five
motif gill shade is still less than six
thousand dollars and it's gold but it's
super shiny if anything it's same shiny
as the diamond pieces in the boutique
when i look at in between the gill shape
and the diamond pieces i compared the
two motif in the boutique that was the
time i was thinking that this one is a
better price versus what you get ratio
it's a better deal compared to other
diamond pieces of course if i don't have
a limit on the budget that i could spend
i will get everything i'll get the
diamond piece as no brainer but uh for
me if i try to get the best price versus
what i can get ratio i think this is the
best the other thing my essay warned me
is that she said that i need to be
careful with the gill shape piece
because if i ever scratch it it will be
really difficult or no way for van cleef
to recover its original stay because of
the design my sister-in-law has her gill
shade
bracelet but in the rose gold gill shade
with a carnelian mix and she said the
gill shade is pretty scratched up when
she layered with other pieces so if you
have the fine motif gill shade bracelet
leave me a comment down below to let me
know that if you layer it with other
pieces if you will get a lot of
scratches otherwise i'm planning to
lay it with other pieces either way
because i'm just gonna enjoy it let me
know if you want a review video after
i'm wearing it for some time and i'm
definitely happy to share all the wear
and tear details with you the other
thing that i want to mention is the
resizing so now you have one year to
resize instead of 90 days which is a
longer window and
i resized my sweet a hombre bracelet but
i definitely learned a lot during the
resizing which i haven't shared with you
guys before and now there's some stuff
that i wish i knew before i resized it
and i also did a lot of research on this
one so definitely leave me a comment
down below to let me know if you want a
video on everything that you need to
know about the resizing which is really
really important i'm happy to work on
the video and share all the details that
i know with you i bought this piece as a
mother's day gift to myself and it's
such a great addition to my existing
stack look at how beautiful they are
together and just looking at how
timeless elegant this piece is it
reminded me so much how amazing to be a
mom and i am someone believing so much
in the full leaf clover luck thing and i
believe this is my lucky bracelet and i
think it will bring me so much good luck
i feel i will be able to get a lot of
wear out of this piece going forward and
it will bring me so much joy and i'm
just beyond happy to be able to purchase
this piece so what do you think of my
new bracelet do you have any questions
leave me a comment down below to let me
know and i would love to hear from you
and i will see you soon bye bye
