First off, I gotta say, “AAA Quality” is one of those phrases that just *screams* “marketing,” you know? Like, you’re scrolling through FARFETCH, right (or Mytheresa, heck, even saw something about pulseiras on Farfetch in Portuguese!), and BAM! “AAA CHLOE JEWELRY!” It’s supposed to make you think, “Ooh, fancy! Must be the best Chloe out there!”
But then you kinda gotta wonder, like… what *is* “AAA” in Chloe terms? Because, like, the House of Pearls is yelling about bracelets, and Cate & Chloe (which, let’s be real, isn’t actually Chloe, is it? Value Bundle alert!) is throwing around 18k rose gold and “crystals” (air quotes!), and then you’ve got the actual Chloe listings promising “timeless refinement” and “striking modernity,” which, honestly, could mean anything!
See, here’s the thing, I think the AAA thing is borrowed from gemstone grading. The “Difference Between Gemstone Grades” bit tells us AAA is “near perfect” with “some variation in colour,” “clean,” and “well cut.” OKAY. But is that a *Chloe* standard or just someone slapped that label on because it sounds good?
My gut feeling? It’s a bit of both. Chloe *does* have some seriously gorgeous jewelry. Those statement cuffs? The delicate earrings? They’re totally drool-worthy. But are they *all* AAA? Nah. Probably not. And does “AAA” from one seller mean the same as “AAA” from another? Definitely not.
Honestly, I think it boils down to doing your research. Don’t just blindly trust the “AAA” label. Look at the photos (zoom in!), read the descriptions (carefully!), and maybe even check out some reviews if you can find ’em.
Because at the end of the day, you wanna make sure you’re getting something you actually love, something that makes you feel good, regardless of whether it’s technically “AAA” or not.
