Wow. I didn’t know that was a thing. The irony is quite hilarious. People wearing fakes shame those wearing genuine pieces. The world has changed. Counterfeiters unite!! We will no longer be abused and oppressed!!!
Does anyone feel like VCA is everywhere now?

I happened to stumble on this when surfing the Bloomies website. These malachite pieces actually look great.
Comparing the Bloomies and VCA designs alone (ignoring the VCA brand name), I especially like the Bloomie's malachite earrings framed in melee diamonds.
The four leaf clover design is definitely getting more popular now, brand name or not.
I don't see these as fake though. I see them more as inspired pieces, just like how I see Roberto Coin as a designer who is inspired by the great French brands.
Here is the link... 50% off too (as of now)! What a bargain!
I am sure people who do not know or do not care about brand names would buy these pretty pieces.

It’s very common on tiktok, in which they say it looks like Kendra Scott jewelry
To be fair, those people wouldn't even buy the inspired pieces from some unknown brand or custom made by local jewelers either. They're just saying things for the sake of saying things
Tiktok hates people with disposable income.People on TikTok are mainly younger people who want to own these things but then project their insecurities cause they’re jealousTo be fair, those people wouldn't even buy the inspired pieces from some unknown brand or custom made by local jewelers either.

Sadly it's not exclusive to Tiktok, all social media platforms have the same crowd...they're just louder and angrier right now because the economy is bad 🤡 I've had some strangers telling me to go 'unalive' myself just because I made a comment stating certain VCA's gemstones aren't as fragile as one think & can be exposed to water.

Wow.. That's so incredibly unnecessary... Social media is where people go to just be a bully with usully little to no reason
Social media people are insane, it’s always a wide spectrum… There’s those people and then there’s the people who act like you’re poop under their shoe because they own a 5 motif bracelet. There’s rarely an in between, humble people who respect that people may own nice things
If it makes them happy…it’s a free country. The less people interested in VCA the better. Supply is low enough as it is.
Seriously not even worth replying. People just need an outlet and a target for their anger and bitterness. Peace out.
indeed they have united! theres a lady at work that told me its smarter to have a jeweler make it since they have the mold and you only pay for gold. I responded with I’d rather pay Van Cleef for Van Cleef lol
You shoulda told her she should buy 10 of them since it’s such a deal.
Exactly. There are sooo many hateful comments on Tiktok videos of girls showing their VCA or cartier bracelets of women calling them dumb, saying they can get the same bracelet as them at a jeweler for a fraction of the price (eye roll).
I like custom jewelry, but I have not seen a single jeweler replicate any VCA item well, at all. There’s something about VCA’s skill level which just cannot be replicated. I own some Perlee bracelets and the craftsmanship is insane and just cannot be replicated by these TikTok fakes.
