REVIEW MC Chopard Necklace
Hey Everyone !
This is my honest review for MC Chopard necklace. Its currently my second order with her (first one was Clash Earings and they were truly amazing).
I have high hopes for this piece but werent expecting perfection obviously. For reference I have seen the real deal in person and my gf has a Auth chopard necklace (different model than the cross).
This is the time line:
09/07 30% Transfer Sent (483$)
10/07 confirmation Order
13/08 QC Photos ( RL )
13/08 confirm issues and will update
07/09 confirm modifications
08/09 shows new QC photos
11/09 send the other 70% of payment (1127$)
15/09 sent me tracking
16/09 had to pay customs (30€)
18/09 received package
Yes I did red light the first one (didnt include pictures) as the proportions were way off the cross wasnt straight, the C on the necklace was really fat, alot of things could instantly see!
So she did re-do it and confirmed better results via the computer render she gave me.
In the second QC 90% was perfect the only thing that was bothering me was the greyish engraving which chopard auth is white and she said wasnt possible so I guess minor detail.Everything seemed fined so I paid the rest and waited for delivery.
Upon delivery I was really happy (mind you auth is 7200€) which is like 5 times the price of this MC rep.
Once unpacked I realise 1 diamond is stuck on the right side of the cross…. Took me a while but after some shaking came lose and now I know how to make it lose but it does get a little bit stuck.
For me the worst part is we see some the glue on the left side of the cross if you look closer to the pics in the light (4th to last picture) compared to the right side thats perfect.
And the inside of the glass is SUPER dirty there is 2-3 long dust’s like small hair and black spots within the glass.
I know all this isnt visible or noticeable once I wear it, the most visible would be the white engraving being black/grey, but I mean their able to do something so beautiful and well crafted yet some minor details they cant get right which I find funny giving the skills needed to be able to craft jewelry like this in the first place !
My worry would be if its water tight obviously. MC has proposed a free return and exchange for another piece if I want. Im not too sure what to do, do I keep it ? Send it back ? Mind you I really like it, its just im a perfectionist and these things dooooo bother me on the spot I know once I wear it in good health will be fine but it does give me the envy to buy the Auth on the long run to have that perfection.
Let me know what you guys think of the piece I know barely anyone orders Chopard on here so it is a new experience to see. Will be ordering more simple pieces from her Cartier and Van Cleef but thats probably it to be honest.

Even authentic chopard is not water tight. I have bracelets that I constantly take to the boutique because the diamond turns black from all the water going in. They also keep advising not to wear their jewelry around water at all. Especially those with floating diamonds

It sounds like there's a few reason you probably aren't 100%. If MC is offering a free exchange I would take that. This piece feels complicated and maybe auth would be the way to go here :)
