First Impression
Let's talk accessories. I'm the person who doesn't own a lot of jewelry as I seldom wear them. In my collection, I probably have just 2-3 necklaces. I don't have fashionable rings or bracelets. However, in the recent years, I plan to add more to my collection as I feel having accessories make my look more complete.
I was looking for a simple piece that is classic and keep its value through time. Alhambra necklace from Van Cleef & Arpels wins my top list. It has a simple classic style that will always be trendy. It goes so well with any type of outfit, whether it's a dress or a casual top and shorts. I got this piece from Bangkok during my wedding trip. It was unplanned, I just walked in by chance if I could get one. The SA said there are last two of these necklaces in white pearl shade.
I find the white pearl color is the most practical and easiest to wear. The fact that it won't get easily scratch and easy to take care is also a plus point. Just don't take it to swim, especially swimming in the sea. In the future, I'd be interested in the butterfly pendant.
Practical: 10/10
Easy to take care: 9/10
Price: currently at 3,800 SGD
Dupes/Alternatives
It's not hard to find alternative. There are similar types of accessories made with mother of pearl.
