But the seller for the fake one is probably going overcharging it like it was the real one. That why he is doing all this test.

Just goes to show that you should buy the fake because no one would ever know the difference.

The fake will always be just that fake. The real one is something you will enjoy for many years, and one day be able to pass down. An authentic VCA item will retain and possibly increase in value. A fake will not. I love that I know my jewelry is real gold with excellent workmanship. The VCA Alhambra collection has been around for over 50 years. This is truly a classic. I see it as an investment in classic timeless jewelry. In the end, you do you boo!

It’s not bout if “no one would ever know”, it’s bout you staying inauthentic to yourself while not accepting the fact that some things are not for you, same as that ppl accept a sports car is not something in their budget

when it comes to van cleefs, if you have a good dupe, you can basically say it’s real im sorry, THEYRE BASICALLY THE SAME EXACT THING, except ones from the actual brand while one isn’t, but it’s still the same exact thing, im sorry😭😭😭😭😭

Exactly. I was going to buy the real one, but my jeweler got an exact dupe. 18k gold, black onyx, perfect clovers and spacing and clasp. It was about 800 total and I absolutely love it

Since nobody walks around with a weighing scale and a microscope and starts listening to how my bracelet jingles, I'm getting the cheap one.

Is it possible the second bracelet is also original, but from another time period? Sometimes brands change materials or the production company.

@Bunny-ch2ul

For relatively modern luxury jewelry you typically want to start authenticating based on the serial number. (You can even do it on your own to verify a second hand piece you bought. "Hello *insert jeweler*? I inherited a *insert iconic design name* here from my grandmother. Can you tell me if it's real? I want to have it cleaned and inspected if it is." Easy peasy.) This bracelet though, most of what you see are knockoffs. The quatrefoil shape has been around for a million years so it's not trademarkable, so any jeweler can use it.

If you can't tell the difference, then both are authentik.

This is a very unreliable method of determining the authenticity of the bracelet. 😅

It’s thicker, so more gold and probably cheaper. That’s a win for me ngl

I’m sorry the differences are so minuscule I see no point in getting the real one. In this particular scenario, there’s no way you’d know the difference with the naked eye.

Where did you buy the replica??

I rather buy cheap I’m not spending all that money on the picture

Definitely bracelet 1 is the original. The fake ones are slight bigger

purely the sound you can tell

The beads of #2 were very round when the clasp was shown. You were showing the back of the motifs!

I knew it in a split second just by looking at the color of the gold. I worked in the industry.

Weird way of authenticating, it’s better to check if it’s real gold (a hallmark should be on the bracelet), then every chain links should be soldered and it would be nice to test the stone to see if it’s real onyx or not! And last the flat edge of the links should be sharp and shiny… 😊

I LOVE this post!! Being able to spot a well made copy is a real skill. Although I’m a firm believer in “appreciation pieces”; my term for knock off, it just sounds better. And there is a place for well made appreciation pieces in the market imho. Not everyone wants to spend $10,000 on a bracelet.. makes me look at my $20.00 Cartier love bangle with, well, love… engraved so perfectly, weighted beautifully… THE best “appreciation piece” I own. I’ve fooled jewelers with it!!! The only “tell” is the bogus serial # engraved inside isn’t a match…

Bracelet one is the real deal

Even rich women are buying fakes. Women are starting to care more about money in the bank instead of money on luxury items. I’m not rich but I do well for myself. TJ Maxx has knock off Van Cleef for under 20 bucks 😂

Yay! I was correct 😅

If it’s gold can you not just use a magnet?

Can you tell from photos?

Magnifying glass... Not microscope 😉

That's a hand lens, not a microscope

Why does it matter if your wearing a fake bracelet? Nobody is going to know you're wearing a cheaper version. Is it status signaling or does it mean something? Unless there's an app where better definition allows people to check for forgeries, how can we know how much people are wearing when they leave the house? And why does it matter anymore? If you can't explain that people, they're going to run off and find new brands. When you run fresh out of meaning, they're going to find new brands for Jewelry. What makes that inherently special?

Ohhhh I’m no expert but I could tell 2 was fake from the black part. It looks like it’s bees stuck on and not fitted correctly compared to the authentic one

Wait, but why did 2 sound so jingly and expensive....or is that just perception, we're hearing it wrong. Also, we didn't see the clasp stamp, and even then, honestly, I can't tell the difference, ones slightly duller is all....I think you should do more of these...it's fun and we learn about Jewellery.

The sound and weight was dead giveaway.
