I promised myself I would be good this holiday and focus on personal enrichment instead of material possessions. But, in case Santa is listening, I just want to say I have been pretty good in 2009 so please can I have this Van Cleef & Arpels 10 flower Vintage Alhambra necklace. I promise I won't ask for anything more.

This is the 10 flower Vintage Alhambra gal pal and I looked at the other day. Gal pal is itching to add this to her collection. Both of us practically drooled on the 10 and 20 flower motif vintage necklaces. Although the 20 motif is more dramatic at 31.5 inch, I like the 10 flowers more than the 20 flowers because it is more wearable. Also 10 flowers necklace cost $4900 while 20 flower necklace is $9800.

Gal pal really liked the 6 motifs Magic Alhambra necklace. I like it but I rather buy the 10 motifs classic look first before spending $6350 on this fun stylish piece. This piece is about 16 inch.

To be really practical, I should just look into single flower necklace. I can wear that "almost" daily. I can do the I-will-wear-it-everyday but I know it's not true. I believe this piece is still around $1600. What are you asking Santa to bring you this year if he feels generous?

Gorgeous necklace. I do like the personal enrichment notion rather then material matters but the necklace is lovely to look at.
ReplyDeleteOh yes the single flower piece is classic. I'd love a Burberry Prorsum trench. Le sigh, it would be perfection in London.
ReplyDeleteI swear, you could add a quatrefoil to anything and I'm smitten!
ReplyDeleteIf Santa is feeling particularly generous this year, I could find room in my closet for this Temperley London dress: http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/47528

Beautiful necklaces. If Santa is feeling uber generous he is welcome to bring me a 2.55!
ReplyDeleteI am hoping Santa is generous with every one of my friends. xoxo
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty and classic! I love Van Cleef & Arpels. Every time I see their ads, I start to want, which usually either gets me into trouble, or gets me sad!
