Classic and lovely!
Adding my latest addition...the guilloche vintage alhambra earrings! Loved them at first sight!
I was between a few choices but ultimately I chose these because I could wear them with my other 2 pieces (and I’m personally not a fan of the hammered gold option). I did love the mop but I didn’t want yet another stone and nothing to match with and I also tried the frivole in xs but they were just a bit too small.
And it's low-profile enough that I can type just fine!

So pretty! And at the kid with a drill. My toddler loves to play with our power drill (with the bit taken out of course) too wherever we're putting together furniture or something. She says she's helping.
Answering my own question -
SA got back to me - spoke to boutique director- it is from an old collection

I was just about to answer you when I saw you found out already! It’s the old lucky collection that they discontinued I think in 2010-2012 but could be off on the year. Hard to find piece with some very coveted VCA stones and in wg!!! Are you going to buy it?

GORGEOUS ON YOU. JUST STUNNING. Congratulations!!
Isn’t this the first lucky bracelet that was discontinued?
I'm new to the world of VCA. I've always loved the iconic design of the Alhambra, the Cosmos and many of their collections, but I've never been in a store or tried any on.
Well, that's about to change! After looking at this entire thread in one sitting (my brain is on fire, but I think both legs fell asleep!) I have called up my local VCA and scheduled an appointment!
I'm so excited! Monday I'm going in! (They assured me they are being super strict with safety measures only letting in two scheduled, masked, customers at a time, temp checks, etc. And this store is a stand alone, not the mall version as I refuse to go inside a mall.)
Oh gosh, I feel a new addiction coming on!
My SA said that right now there is a shortage of many of the Vintage Alhambra pieces I've requested to see. They will bring in as many as they can get ahold of, but apparently VCA in general almost sold out many of their pieces and US stock hasn't been replenished yet since the Christmas holidays.

VCA will fit right in with your fabulous diamond jewelry collection! I think your boutique may be where I bought my first VCA piece in 2016! Very excited to hear about your visit, but just don't be too discouraged with the low stock at this time.
Perfect choice to go with your other yg pieces! Beautiful!

What a small world Diamondseeker! I didn't know you bought your first in Houston. We have two VCAs, one in the Galleria Mall, and one freestanding that's near Cartier and Harry Winston in River Oaks.
Gosh, let me know when you are next in town and we'll browse some bling together! (Maybe get a few other local PSers to join in for a ladies day!)

For Alhambra fans, if you don't already have the VCA Alhambra book, it is on sale at this moment on Amazon! I bought it when it first came out in 2018 for Alhambra's 50th anniversary for full price $75. Right now they have it marked at $43.88 with a coupon at check-out taking off $14.55 more! Final price is $29.33! I ordered another one since I have two daughters and hope to have a few Alhambra pieces for each of them.
