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.

@therealshakeen 2 года назад

Yes! Being able to wear it 24/7 makes all worth it in the end!

@hermeslove3911 2 года назад

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

@therealshakeen 2 года назад

Thank you! Yeah, the stones are pretty, but I'd rather just get all gold...or diamonds lol

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 !

@abbylux6991 2 года назад

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 ❤️

@therealshakeen 2 года назад

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.

@katemiller7874 2 года назад

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.

@cwhateverett7834 2 года назад

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 :)

@therealshakeen 2 года назад

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!

@je-suis_Tati 2 года назад

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 😉

@therealshakeen 2 года назад

Oh thanks Taty! I think you mentioned that to me before! I definitely will ask!

@tasneemakhtar9961 2 года назад

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

@therealshakeen 2 года назад

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 😂

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****🤣.

@heidiheidi0 2 года назад

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.

@therealshakeen 2 года назад

Yes exactly! Like 22k or softer. I like the tone of 18k gold better than 22!

@katemiller7874 2 года назад

That is correct. No way would I purchase anything over 18 karat.

@itz_zephyrx8974 2 года назад

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!

@naheedakhtar4255 2 года назад

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.

@therealshakeen 2 года назад

Yes! Although I do enjoy the tone of 18k gold!

@abbylux6991 2 года назад

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.

@therealshakeen 2 года назад

@@abbylux6991 true. I think 22kt and even 24kt gold was used because jeweller was seen as a way of storing wealth (an asset).

@tummy_bliss Год назад

what do you mean by customs? were you travelling at the airport? do you have to carry the certificate everywhere with you? great video~

@therealshakeen Год назад

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).

How much is the weight of the bracelet?

@hiravsonani4590 3 месяца назад

How many grams gold ? Vintange alambra

@iamjulia9458 2 года назад

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.

@therealshakeen 2 года назад

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.

@grapefruitbnb 11 месяцев назад

You look great! I’m a little off topic, but what is the brand and what size is your necklace? It looks so pretty

@therealshakeen 11 месяцев назад

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.

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

@therealshakeen Год назад

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.

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!
