Wedding necklace of Tik Toker Becca Bloom potentially overpriced by Van Cleef, asserts blogger
Becca Bloom, the TikTok sensation and daughter of Chinese tech entrepreneurs Simon Yiming Ma and Heidi Chou, tied the knot with Canadian software engineer David Pownall in a intimate wedding at Villa Balbiano in Ossuccio, Italy. The wedding took place on an unspecified date, but Becca Bloom mentioned that her wedding was on August 28 in a different context.
For her big day, Becca Bloom chose a custom Oscar de la Renta gown and jewelry totaling over one million US dollars from Van Cleef & Arpels' high jewellery line, the Folie des PreΜs collection. The centerpiece of her ensemble was a stunning necklace featuring 230 diamonds totalling approximately 24 carats.
The necklace, originally priced at $395,000, excluding taxes, was part of a collection that also included earrings and a matching ring. Becca Bloom's family has a long history with Van Cleef & Arpels, and it's no surprise that she chose to wear such exquisite jewellery for her wedding.
However, speculation has arisen regarding the price of Becca Bloom's wedding necklace. Julia Hackman ChafeΜ, a popular jewellery influencer and TikTok user, suggested that the price might have increased by $44,000 due to increased demand caused by Becca Bloom's social media posts. ChafeΜ also questioned whether Van Cleef & Arpels increased the price of Becca Bloom's ruby necklace, which was originally priced at $384,000 and now costs $428,000, due to her advertising it.
Despite these speculations, Van Cleef & Arpels has not released any official statement regarding the price increase of Becca Bloom's wedding jewelry. Becca Bloom has also not addressed the price hike of her necklace on her social media pages.
It's important to note that there is no indication that Van Cleef & Arpels increased the price of Becca Bloom's wedding jewelry because she wore it for her wedding. The jewellery market is dynamic, and prices can fluctuate due to various factors, including demand and market conditions.
As the dust settles on Becca Bloom's stunning wedding, the speculation around the price of her wedding jewelry continues to spark conversations among jewellery enthusiasts and influencers alike. Only time will tell if the speculations hold any truth.
