Van Cleef & Arpels Jewellery

I went to Global Village some short time ago, and I visited the Syrian Village. I was so shocked to see in a jewellery shop there were FAKE Van Cleef & Arpels Alhambra collection necklaces and bracelets and all that. People that make fake things should be ashamed! Not only because they copied something genuine into a cheap quality, but also for copying the design itself.
If people can't afford something there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH IT, but to buy fake designer things is wrong! Just buy affordable beautiful purses, clothes, or jewellery that fits you well and that would be just great.
Anyways, I love the Al Hambra collection. I think it's elegant and could be worn anytime. I know that mine are so dear to me and special, and I'm sure if you have a piece/pieces you feel the same way.

Check out the AlHambra Collection:

Van cleef <3 You should've saw the ones in the jewelery show that was held in Expo, there were some exact copies of the AlHambra collection! Not even ashamed to brag that its a copy of Van Cleef. I felt disgusted, they ruined it, it looked so cheap and so fake.

yeah now you can understand the frustration i through everytime i spend a fortune on jewellery and then a few days later see the exact copy in a window of another jewellery shop at a much lower price and a much cheaper quality... i hurts my <3 so much that i want to burn down every jewellery shop that had the audacity to do that to jewellery and their designers!!
