By far the most helpful review for these two!! I was in between these and now I know the hammered gold one would suit me more for sure

[@twinningwiththevys]

Hi! That’s great to hear! Thank you so much for watching. 🥰

[@hmoobmama]

First of all, I love watching both of your jewelry collections and reviews. The Guilloche bracelet is what caught my eyes first when I found out about VCA. So while in Vegas, I scored one and bought it on the spot! I wasn’t attracted to the hammered gold, but now, I’ve really fallen in love with the hammered “rose gold” bracelet, so I’m going to get that as my next vca piece! Lol. Both are gorgeous in their own ways!

[@twinningwiththevys]

Hi Chelsea! Congrats 🎉🎊🍾 We actually want them all 😆 The Guilloche and rose gold hammer would pair so well together! We need to look at the rose gold hammer in real life. We heard VCA pink gold is so stunning. Thank you so much for watching 🥰❤️❤️

[@farahmutiarasungkar11]

[@brigittecarcagno4338]

Thank you Ladies! I don’t like scratches on my jewelry. I am OCD about. I know the guilloche is brilliant and gorgeous. I love both but I rather get a bang for my buck. So hammered gold is my choice.

[@twinningwiththevys]

Hi Brigitte! Hammered is a great choice!! Thank you so much for watching. 🥰🥰

[@robytallo3147]

Nice video!Have you thought about making a video of your entire jewelry collection?

[@twinningwiththevys]

Hi! We’re still trying to add to our collection. But once we do, will definitely make a video. 😊 Thanks for watching!

[@lannysylvana3423]

I always coming back to your channels!🥺 you both are so funny and gorgeous!!♥️♥️ I don’t have VAC but the shiny guilloché caught my eyes. But I am quite OCD person but I don’t really attracted with the hammered one😭 Do you think which one to have as a first piece? Necklace or bracelet? I just called boutique in Vancouver, Canada. He said that no more stock but if I want to order it, I have to put 100% for deposit and don’t know when it will come back…

[@twinningwiththevys]

Hi Lanny, so sorry for the late response. TV loves her guilloche!! If you’re OCD, stick with the necklace first to see how you like it. But either way we think you’ll love it no matter what! Thanks so much for watching!! 🥰🥰

[@kellyc9846]

Great information and video. Do you wear the hammered YG VCA with the thin LOVE/ JUC or do you wear on the other wrist? If you wear it stacked, does the LOVE/ JUC bangles go over the alhambra? Does the alhambra scratch the Cartier bracelets? Do you wear your 3 bracelet stack 24/7? Thanks!

[@twinningwiththevys]

Hi Kelly! Dv wears her hammered YG VCA with with thin LOVES and JUC on the same wrist 24/7. But sometimes I do switch it around as well wearing it alone. My wrist measurement is 15.5cm. I took out 4 links on the VCA so it doesn’t go all over my other bracelets. If you don’t take out the links it could scratch the Cartier bracelets even more. The LOVE bracelet will scratch regardless but it won’t be as bad. Lol Hope that helps! Thank you for watching 🥰❤️🥰

[@MagnoliaAlba]

I've had the VCA yellow gold hammer head 5 motif bracelet for about 3 years now. I wear it 24/7 and am definitely NOT careful with it but it's still pristine :D I am now considering buying the new rose gold guilloche alternating with carnelian motifs to stack with my JUC with diamonds.... but i'm also part of the OCD club so i'm a little hesitant lol >

[@twinningwiththevys]

Hi! DV is in the same boat as you. Lol I love the rose gold guilloche with the carnelian stone. Been debating for a month now, just afraid it will scratch badly and not being able to fix it would bother me. TV loves her guilloche so much. It’s a touch decision.😆

[@anc895]

I’m waiting for the hammered one to get back in stock it’s sold out everywhere in the U.K.

[@yolong9554]

Really enjoyed your video. what was the reason you get gold instead of stone version? I am torn btn MOP and hammered one. 😭😭

[@twinningwiththevys]

Hi Lucy! The reason why I didn’t choose MOP was because I didn’t want to baby it. Although people do shower with it on. I heard it can lose it shine and shrink the stone. I didn’t want to take on and off daily. My next piece I wouldn’t mind choosing a stone to add on to my collection for special occasions wear only. Hope that helps! Thank you so much for watching. 🥰

[@monicagrazie7388]

Wow gougeous! Do you have the all gold vintage ahlambra necklace? The one with the waves not the guilloche

[@twinningwiththevys]

Hi Monica, No we do not. But hope to add to our collection one day! 🥰

[@veronicapellegrini8763]

Hi! I love watching your videos! :) I have a question. What is the weight difference between the 2? Do one feels heavier than the other? Thank you :)

[@twinningwiththevys]

Hi Veronica! Aww that means so much to us!🥰 We don’t know the exact weight difference. For sure the Guilloche weighs more then the Hammered, hope that helps! Thank you so much for watching ❤️❤️❤️

[@RoseReveals]

Hi twins. Love ur VCA. Actually the YG is in my wishlist. Btw where are ur dresses from? & what r the sizes of ur birkin? Tnx.

[@twinningwiththevys]

Hi!!! YG is such a good daily wear piece. Our dresses are from Shein and the Birkin is in the size 30. ❤️

[@RoseReveals]

@@twinningwiththevys how do u call that YG (not the guilloche) bracelet? Does it called hammered? Coz i asked the SA how do u call it, she just said gold bracelet. Lol!

[@twinningwiththevys]

@@RoseReveals It’s just called Yellow Gold. Lol

[@shereensherif-arabicchannel]

I like the hammered one more.. so pretty and subtle! am torn between the hammered, the malachite and the agate blue 🤍

[@twinningwiththevys]

Hi Shereen! You will eventually get all 3. 😆 The hammered is very good for everyday wear. DV never takes that one off. Malachite is sooo pretty. But will take a lot of work to care for. It’s more like a special occasion wear kind of piece. Agate we heard is pretty durable and they all say get the dark blue agate. We can’t wait until you get your piece. ❤️

[@djdi2832]

It’s been a year since you purchased it, could you do a videos on wears and tears of the Guilloche? Super debating on which one to get, hammered or Guilloche

[@twinningwiththevys]

Hi! Yes, we will definitely do a review on the wear tears of both. :)

[@sunnyd9674]

I’m also interested with wears abs tears video. Thank you ❤

[@kklvoescc]

They are both so gorgeous! What size is your wrist? What size Cartier do you wear? I am trying to decide how many links I need to remove.

[@twinningwiththevys]

Hi! Our wrist size is 15.5 and 16 cm. We both wear love bracelet size 17. We both took out 4 links and it’s still kinda loose. I hope that helps :)

[@kklvoescc]

@@twinningwiththevys It does! Thank you so much for the info! I measure 15.25cm above my wristbone and 16cm below. I feel like 4links will work but was worried it might be too snug. Hearing that you still have room makes me think it will work for me! Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰

[@twinningwiththevys]

@@kklvoescc Yes! We usually twist the links so it doesn’t move sometimes. If it is too tight, I believe they will add the link back on for you. Bc a lot of people get confused like we did. Lol We were just afraid of missing our bracelets for 2 weeks. Lol Did you just purchased yours? What kind did you get? 😊

[@kklvoescc]

@@twinningwiththevys I just got the onyx a few weeks ago. Still deciding how many links to remove. I know it takes 2 weeks and I don’t want to make a mistake and have to miss it for another 2 weeks! 😂 Definitely ask for the travel pouch!!! Tell your SA that online never sent you one and he should give you one. I didn’t have to even ask for it and it was included both times online. (I exchanged the first one I got. I unboxed it and did a guide video on all the things I have learned about the brand on my KZbin channel.)🥰🥰🥰 Thanks again! 😘

[@twinningwiththevys]

@@kklvoescc Onyx is so pretty! 🥰 We will definitely watch your video!

[@riannes.4164]

I just want to say thank you for making this video! I’ve always wanted the guilloche ever since I found out about VCA. But now that I’m more mature and understand jewelry I’m starting to question myself if the guilloche is for me. I do have a love bracelet and the scratches do bug me once I noticed them. But my SA explained to me that the scratches just shows the journey the love bracelet took with me ever since I got it. But with the guilloche I find that once it starts to accumulate scratches it would loose it’s shine and would really look meh 😅 Everyone is telling me that guilloche is the way to go but knowing me I do prefer the ruggedness of the hammered but still getting the all gold effect of a VCA. Besides it’s very easy to stack with other bracelets!

[@twinningwiththevys]

Hi Rianne, Yes we agree! The hammer is super easy to stack. And also carefree vs the guilloche. Thank you so much watching!!🥰🥰

[@madih473]

Would you be open to giving an update on the bracelets? Can you share how the guichille is holding up? I know it easily scratches. Since the shine and luster is created by the design, I am curious how the shine and luster holds up over time, even if scratches occur?

[@twinningwiththevys]

Hi Madiyah, Yes, we plan to do a review on the wear and tears of both bracelets. :)

[@madih473]

Does it still look shiny or dull?

[@twinningwiththevys]

@@madih473 Shiny, you can also clean it with soap and a soft brush.

[@twinningwiththevys]

@@madih473 TV has own the guilloche for 2 years now. She wears daily and says it’s still shiny! Will give an updated review soon.🥰

[@gghinas]

Hi, how much does the vintage Alhambra bracelet weights in gram? Thankful for answer 🙏🏼

[@hmoobmama]

I just bought my Guilloche bracelet in Vegas, and it weighs 20 grams (without any links removed). I believe the hammered gold is around 12 grams. That’s why the Guilloche is more expensive by $1100. But over all, you’ll get more gold when you buy both of these pieces compared to the ones with stones, which I believe weigh around 8-12 grams, and not even with that much gold involved, because most of the weight are the semi precious stones. So if you’re someone who wants more gold, go for the hammered or Guilloche.

[@MadamMMStyleIcon]
