Oh it’s @Ylesiya who got the pretty lapis pendant.
I love that these rings look nice on their own and also stacked. One thing I noticed with this collection is that the colours seem very consistent, at least for the turquoise and coral rings I saw. All the turquoise pieces were the same med/lighter sky blue shade and all the coral pieces were more orange with a drop of white (it shows up a little darker and stronger in photos).
For those who are unsure of sizes, I also found that the difference between sizes felt quite minimal so if they don’t have your exact size, one size up/down might work also.

Yes, you described the coral exactly! I love the photo, and it looks like orange with a drop of white, like a Dreamsicle.
Some photos show it more red which I prefer more Dreamsicle. I also love the shade of turquoise, also with a drop of white and not too green. Nice stones.

Thanks for the correction on the pendant!

@Ylesiya Congratulations on your new lapis pendant! You are on a roll.

My share of my try out today, unfortunately the lapis and turquoise are not available in my store despite its just first day of launch are they deliberately making it difficult for us lol it’s not the usual feminine touch of VCA but more masculine with a vintage and estate touch, turn out I do like the ring, unfortunately I hv to fulfill my other VCA priorities before getting them, if it’s turquoise or lapis I might splurge on the spot

If any of you love YG & bold rings and missed this piece (it's part of the high jewelry collection), here is a sideways version of the jumbo turquoise ring (the lengthwise version was posted earlier above).
It reminds me of the Tiffany Elsa Peretti jumbo cabachon ring, which also came in turquoise but is now discontinued. Luckily, I was able to find one of those to create a turquoise set.

I love this look... bold ring, yet very clean, the stone is 100% the star.
Just FYI in case some of you are interested and missed seeing this ring.
Scrolll way down to see the video of the model wearing this ring. It's so stunning to me, and I wanted to share.

I thought that too! I was getting a neck ache after staring at it for 10 minutes. :biggrin: :heart:
I would love that lower part as a long pendant to go with the ring... I clipped the photo below to visualize.
Then... I would get two turquoises the size of the smaller turquoise in the top of the "pendant" below, throw some gold filigree around it similar to the gold filigree framing the pendant, and make earrings! I think that would be a gorgeous set!

Yes I agree @BigAkoya I was going to end my last post with ; VCA is doing this to weed out certain clients!
I myself started my collection 14 years ago with a 5 motif! It certainly a great bang for your buck item and can see the appeal in wanting to stack and it being a great entry price point.

See VCA is a 5 motif company though. Perlee is a relatively new range and they are known for Alhambra . They made a huge fuss for the 50 year anniversary. Granted the 5 motifs had pave, lol. They are known for the iconic clovers. If they were smart they would release more stone combos in all metals and more diamonds! It is hard to move away from your iconic look. For example look at Cartier LOVE, they constantly releases new versions and updates. The clash, JUC and Ecrou all work with their Iconic Love . It is a look and all achieves symbiosis. It is very Cartier and on brand. These VCA pieces do not feel on brand to me.

I do think true non VCA lovers will get bored between this release, non stock issues and will move on. ;)

I know you white gold lovers need to see some new pieces as well. Let's see what anniversaries last year's Lotus and Zodiac!
I would love to see the Seoul exclusive, WG and RG Guilloche and some new creativity.

I’ve been on the Cartier train for almost 5 years now starting when I was in college. I purely only wear white gold (aside for my tri-gold Cartier chain that I never take off/ is usually tucked inside my polo or dress shirt - am a guy & my Cartier trinity cord). I’ve been looking at VCA for the last months and nothing has really peaked my interest.

I may consider the WG MOP vintage Alhambra but then discovered Dior’s Rose des Vents necklace in WG MOP. I really wish VCA could consider having more of their classic ranges (onyx & MOP) on all three gold tones.

I know I’m not their target customers fresh out of college but Cartier/ Bvlgari/ Chaumet/ Chopard/ Tiffany almost all have their classic lines in all three gold tones (plus pave). I love how my Carrier WG pieces all work together well as you mentioned - symbiosis - and would even consider buying the same exact rings in YG or RG to mix it up sometimes.
