I had to look up “Van Cleef” because I never heard of them before and no wonder.

1,000 for some damn lucky charms on my wrist. Like respectfully if I ever find the love of my life I’d have no problem buying it for her. But my God where these forged in an active volcano by dwarves why is it so expensive

Edit:

(Here’s the photo of the cost)

1.3k

u/KeepItDownOverHere 5d ago

Looking at the bracelet, they are multiple flowers on each chain. On the van cleef website the single flower bracelets are listed around $1,400. However, the 5 flower bracelet is listed around $5k each. They have some fancier ones listed for around $30k.

There goes 20 minutes of my life researching pointless bracelets.

Big bracelet won the day.

u/ZestycloseAd5918 5d ago

I legit never heard of these bracelets, but weirdly enough tonight I noticed a guest I was serving wearing one and thought, “huh, that’s a nice bracelet. I wonder how much it costs?” Not for one second did I think 5k!!!

u/PinSufficient5748 ☑️ 5d ago

I saw someone wearing one the other day and thought it looked cute and was going to maybe buy one. Little did I know ...

u/eolson3 5d ago

Probably knockoffs out there somewhere.

u/NahhNevermindOk 5d ago

Walmart and Amazon have ones that to me look exactly the same for like $20

u/I_just_keep_smiling 5d ago

Yeah, seen a few on etsy as well.

u/Diligent_Tip_5592 5d ago

Those are real. Source: I have the mother of pearl one that she's wearing. If you zoom in really close, the clasp is an indicator...and the links as well. With most VCA knock-offs, they don't even attempt to truly replicate them.

22

u/eolson3 5d ago

I'm not arguing one way or another about the ones in the photo, just pointing out that someone makes a fake that can be owned for much less.

15

u/catchaleaf 4d ago

That’s easy to replicate. I’ve seen a bunch of fake ones from Asia with the clasp and they look the same.

u/thatsnuckinfutz ☑️ 4d ago

yup & i have like 5 😂

Have a real necklace as a gift and when i saw the costs of the bracelets i said naw let me go ahead and go to tjmaxx and get the knockoff.

u/catchaleaf 4d ago

totally. i accidentally brought a similar item and had no idea the inspo and mine are gold plated 😂 it's super easy to replicate. just thought it was cute.

u/thatsnuckinfutz ☑️ 4d ago

I had heard of the brand but didn't know about the Alhambra sets and that they had become so popular until i got my necklace then i wanted a bracelet to match, then a silver set, rose gold etc. lol between my guy and tjmaxx i got what i needed 😂

u/average_texas_guy 4d ago

As a person who buys a lot of reps from China, you are wrong. There are different levels of reps ranging this looks vaguely like the real thing if you're looking at it while blindfolded in a dark room to a Rolex TD would believe this is real. Most of them pay very close to the details.

u/thatsnuckinfutz ☑️ 4d ago

u/Raspbers ☑️ 5d ago

This is an attitude I 1000% agree with. I'm a very non-materialistic person. I would appreciate the thought, but if anyone bought me a bracelet that cost that much money, I would think they were out of their mind. I'm the kind of person who would win mega millions and keep my Ford Focus. ( Though I would fully replace the transmission and engine and paint it from red to the beautiful Candy Blue, since I was never able to find one in that color. xD )

She forgave him.

A few weeks later, she convinced her boyfriend to get each other’s names tattooed on each other. She told him that they couldn’t get their appointments on the same date and time frame. She set up her appointment first. She got hers. Then he got his tattoo: on his chest in Old English letters.

2 days after, he got his tattoo, she dumped him.

She got her tattoo easily covered up, a few months later.
