💛💛💛 Congratulations 🎉🎊 I’m obsessed with this 😍 I want white gold 😊

[@darknessislight3689]

It looks absolutely fantastic on you ☺️

I own both the Onyx and Guilloche pendants and its not hard at all to style the Onyx. It's black with gold so it literally can go with anything. The Guilloche is stunning and I feel like it's more formal looking than the Onyx. Love them both but for everyday wear, I tend to reach for the Onyx.

[@NatalieStringfield]

Same. I also own the black onyx and the diamond Alhambra pendant and I wear the black onyx daily. It’s so beautiful and easy to wear.

[@madokaor3611]

Me too. I went to the store to buy the Guilloche but ended up getting the Onyx coz it fits my day to day life. It’s very classic and go with all my outfits.

​@@madokaor3611 i have both tje neckless and the braclet in guilloché i just never ever remove them, i sleep , shower, go to work go party with it! Love love it

[@ericachan1.0]

Hey guys, just wanted to add that i think its harder to style the stone pieces because gold is just a more versatile choice when it comes to jewelry. I feel like for the stones its kinda like buying a crystal necklace from a crystal shop.. ( obviously thats an extreme comparison ) but the crystals in my opinion are limited to a certain style and vibe. My two cents is that if im gonna buy something that expensive, i might as well save up more and wait for full gold pieces.

[@moodiias590]

The color of the gold is due to the karat, 18k is lighter compared to a higher karat of gold:)

[@stuartmaybe1745]

Hi what the weight of the necklace please???, i considering this but I feel the chain a bit fragile

[@vash7304]

Lovely review. I didnt know the guilloche is double sided! Kinda wish it was one side guilloche and the other onyx or maybe a fun stone like turquoise.

[@ericachan1.0]

Ya that would be cool. They actually have that for the ring. One side guilloche and one side carnelian. Pretty cool.

[@jennyc.2045]

Hi! Can you please do a wear and tear video on the necklace? I would really appreciate it. Thank you! 🥰

[@ericachan1.0]

Yes i will definitely make one !

[@lallameriem3846]

Excellent choice! You can shower with it

[@snags37]

maybe i do need to go into the store to try them on bc i’m currently going back and forth between the onyx and the guilloche 😅

[@ericachan1.0]

Sorry for the late reply! Have you chosen yet?

[@snags37]

@@ericachan1.0 i did! i decided on the guilloche because i already have the amulette de cartier in the black onyx and i think having the plain gold would just be more suitable for me

[@jennyc.2045]

Hello! Thank you for your video, it was really helpful 🥰 I was wondering, have you got the chain extended? If so, how long is it right now? Thank you in advance for your reply 🙏

[@ericachan1.0]

Hi! Thanks for watching it :) i did not get the chain extended. This is the normal chain length!

[@jennyc.2045]

Great, thank you so much for your reply ❤ How is the wear and tear? Do you wear the necklace 24/7 (also with shower and sleep) and is it still very shiny? 😊

[@ericachan1.0]

@@jennyc.2045 yes i do wear it 24/7 but if i swim i take it off because its not 100% pure gold its 18k so just in case i still take it off when im in the pool. I feel that its less shiny for sure but just like every jewelry piece out there with usage it will definitely show signs of aging

[@jennyc.2045]

Less shiny than before, you mean the clover or the chain...Maybe after cleaning the necklace it will be shiny again? Do you regret your purchase? 😮

[@ericachan1.0]

@@jennyc.2045 do not regret the purchase! I meant the clover is less shiny. I do wish it was a cheaper item but i do jot regret buying it. It will serve me a lifetime (if i dont lose it😂)

[@robertserban7092]

I really did originally click because of the Spinach Tigers (which were not and are still not available) so I won't even mention the beauty. Smart and funny too.

[@ericachan1.0]

Hm? Wait im confused with what you are trying to say.

[@robertserban7092]

@@ericachan1.0 I was trying to not be creepy and of course that kind of failed. Really I should have just said how beautiful you are. The word beauty is derived from the Latin" bellus" which means fine ...... the five different looks were great. I also really did want the Spinach Tigers.

[@ericachan1.0]

Ah haha! Thank you then :)

[@robertserban7092]

@@ericachan1.0 Hey Didn't I send this compliment about a year ago? I'm also a guitarist and was hoping to see more about your gear and musical tastes. Be well.

[@ericachan1.0]

@@robertserban7092 haha! Yes you did but i just saw it 😅

[@brookeloryn3937]

LOVED your video!! Are you located in the US? I am interested in this necklace but I think there’s an outrageous waitlist at the moment for it:( PLEASE correct my thoughts if I’m wrong!

[@ericachan1.0]

Aww Thank you! :) I got mine in Singapore and they had a few pieces in stock. But they do sell out quick so ya.. call before you head to the store. Thats what i did.

[@TheresaTrychanel5]

I’m really thinking about the hammered gold vca …what did you think about that style?

[@ericachan1.0]

I like it but i would get it only after the guilloche piece. I think its a good layering piece, it adds a dimension since its textured. However i prefer the guilloche i think its prettier, classier and more elegant. Hope my opinion helps!

[@TheresaTrychanel5]

@@ericachan1.0 yes it does. Thank you 😊

[@carlarodrigo2372]

Hi 👋 may I know which boutique you went to? Went to MBS a couple of weeks ago but they put me on the waitinglist for the guilloche yellow gold. I was deciding between that and the onyx. But since it’s not instock I didn’t buy yet. Now I’m thinking should I wait for that or just buy the onyx now 😅

[@ericachan1.0]

Wait for it pleaseeee. I went to the MBS shop:)

[@carlarodrigo2372]

@@ericachan1.0 i contacted the SA that assisted me last time. They say I need to deposit 30% first before they can assign me the guilloche. Now I’m still deciding hahaha

[@carlarodrigo2372]

How is it holding up so far?

[@ericachan1.0]

@@carlarodrigo2372 huh why? You mean they have it in but for them to reserve it for you, you must pay the deposit ? Or do you mean deposit first then wait for the item to reach sg? For me i called in to check if they had it in and they said yes and asked when am i going in and i said in 2 hours and then i got it just like that. But please wait for guilloche you really would not regret it.

[@ericachan1.0]

@@carlarodrigo2372 the guilloche does get scratched up easily im not even sure how cuz i for sure dont bang it and scrape it anywhere i just wear it in my neck without taking it off.. i guess it just naturally happens. The chain and clover is still as shiny as ever but you can see the small dotted scuffs on the guilloche. In fact when you buy it brand new you also see the scuffs. And the SA showed me 2 pieces at that time to choose from. They both had super tiny small dotted scuffs around the guilloche. To describe the wear and tear i would say there are more tiny dotted scuffs now ? But the necklace is still absolutely stunning and shiny, without close up inspection and nit picking on imperfections no one would really even notice it. I do not regret the choice of guilloche. Im glad i got this first over the other choices:) by far my favorite purchase of all time in fact haha Im very pleased basically❤️

[@georgia2247]

Hi Erica, how do you find it holding up/care? Have you found it to scratch yet? Many thanks! 🥰

[@ericachan1.0]

Hey, thank you for watching my video :)) Its holding up great! Definitely there are some dotted micro scratches on the clover but its inevitable. I dont ever take it off, it just sits on my neck but with the guilloche it just happens over time ! Even when you buy it in fact you will see the imperfections. But its still as shiny as ever:)

[@georgia2247]

@@ericachan1.0oh amazing! So great to hear. Thanks for the feedback and lovely to hear that you still love it! 💕

[@MaritsaDarman]

How much?

[@xxxK00LiFExxx]

5:53 what does that mean? gold guilloche is best on you and White gold guilloche is better on you? sorry My english is too bad to understand. i wanna know if WG guilloche was also good on you or not.

[@ericachan1.0]

No it disappeared on me. Thats what the SA said 😅.

[@pigbitch5300]

Which store do you go to? Pretty much every single van cleef I went to has either no inventory, abysmal service, or both

[@ericachan1.0]

I went to the marina bay sands branch!
