I did not realize VCA made Perlee 3 row hoop earrings! Those are beautiful! Are they new to the collection? I went to online to find them to see a modshot, but they are not online. Were they a SO?
The 20 MOP and oynx combination worn together I am sure looks beautiful on you!
May I enable you a tiny bit more? The panda clip!
You have both 20s that would go perfect with the little panda guy! I get so many compliments when I wear that little guy. Most people of course do not know it's VCA, but everyone seems to love the cute little panda.
Congrats again on your gorgeous pieces! You have an amazing collection! Keep sharing please!

You're right, the panda would be fabulous . . . That's a great idea . . .I did not realize VCA made Perlee 3 row hoop earrings! Those are beautiful! Are they new to the collection? I went to online to find them to see a modshot, but they are not online. Were they a SO?

The earrings are vintage. They're not 3 row perlee but they are part of the Perlee collection--all pave banded by the perlee detailing. They're discontinued. Naturally. It's strange that so many of these collections have very little longevity . . . I was lucky to find them, but I assume they're around.
The earrings are beautiful, and I love love love how the pave is on the inside as well as outside.
I agree, I am surprised they don't make these anymore. I think a lot of ladies here would purchase them.
These earrings are just gorgeous, and I'm sure they are super blingy on your ears too!
By the way, I found Hellebore. It's not listed if you search from within the website, so it's quite strange. However, if you google outside of the VCA website, you can find it, weird. There is also a BTF turquoise/MOP ring and MOP earrings. Hope this helps.

Thank you-I would never have found this without the link. I LOVE this collection . . .
Order one! Let's bombard them with orders so they have to add more pieces.
I would love some small matching lapis earrings. The MOP earrings are way too big for my ears, but if they were smaller, like the small Lotus or Frivole, that size would be perfect for me.
Whoa, such gorgeous pieces in wg!!! Love them all as well as the turquoise RdN! Could we talk you into posting a collection picture in family portrait thread???
Post your Van Cleef family portrait!
My VCA collection! I’m completely satisfied with my Alhambra pieces and am excited to start with next pieces, which will most likely be from frivole line Beautiful variety of pieces, lots of mix and match options.

I think you might like the mini RDN in lapis . . .Order one! Let's bombard them with orders so they have to add more pieces.

I wish . . . I called today about the Hellebore and was told that there are no earrings anywhere, and that it's a limited edition with limited production. The SA intimated that they were not available and there would be no further production notwithstanding that the line has not been discontinued. Sheesh! These were introduced only last November and with a heavy worldwide promotion at that, and now they won't produce them further? This makes no sense . . . You are very lucky to have a diligent SA to have secured a ring for you.Order one! Let's bombard them with orders so they have to add more pieces.

. . . At this point, I feel privileged to score any VCA piece from a store, which raises the issue of whether I'm grabbing it because it's available and likely to vanish if I don't take it NOW or because I really want it. It seems like the days of trying something on and then taking the time to quietly figure out if you like it/want it are gone. I hate buying under pressure.
In any event, I also learned that VCA will soon be introducing a Zodiac line. I don't know if it's in the form of pendants or brooches (as in the Lucky brooches) but it will be introduced shortly. It is not the Asian Year of the Whatever animals, it is something entirely entirely. So stay posted . . .
Am so sorry to hear this about Hellabore! Fingers crossed you can find what you want. I hate feeling rushed about something this expensive!
The ring coming is not mine. It was made to order for a client, but my SA got approval from Europe to send it to me so I can try it on. They will then make my size. I was also told it is very limited in production, and these pieces are basically made to order. The ring being sent to me is the only one in the entire company, and I was told that ring was just made. I think lapis is the issue (my guess not from my SA), especially with the best lapis being sourced from Afghanistan. I think if you say you really want a piece and pre-order (e.g. pay), they will make it for you. I was very clear in my text to my SA... "I want to purchase the Hellebore lapis ring." It was not "I am interested in the Hellebore lapis ring." Hence I think that's perhaps why I got good results from my SA. It took my SA about 1.5 weeks to hear back from Europe. If your SA responded to your inquiry so fast, I doubt your SA even checked with Europe so maybe she didn't understand you wanted to purchase one. You are a long time client and have a huge VCA collection, so I am sure they will make a Hellebore piece for you.
I like Rose de Noel, but my issue is the lack of variety in styles. Rose de Noel is mostly earrings and short pendants/clips, both of which are not my base pieces. For a base piece, I need either a big ring or a long necklace. Once I find that, I will then get the matching earrings or bracelet to make a set. Said another way, I would never just buy a pair of earrings without anything to match it, and as you know, I don't wear short pendants. Hence, so far... no Rose de Noel for me.
Then Hellebore came out! A big ring! According to VCA, Hellebore is the extension of Rose de Noel, but with more sparkle using diamonds. That's how it was positioned when it was launched Nov 2020. The launch was limited to Japan and NA, so yes, a very limited collection. Funny thing is when it was first launched, I hated it. Now I love Hellebore.
I would not get pieces you don't love due to pressure. Buy what you love. With any jewelry, there will always be the next piece to chase, so don't fall for the "it is limited" issue. Everything is limited these days. Yes, I heard there was a zodiac line coming out, and some critics were saying "why, there are so many brands now doing zodiacs they were surprised VCA would jump on that bandwagon." I'm not a zodiac person at all, so that's good for me as I have zero interest. I was actually surprised to hear VCA is going a zodiac collection. Their signature is flora or fauna, and this is neither. Maybe they are trying to branch out which is not a bad idea. I would definitely love to see more new collections (how many flower rings does a person really need, right?), but I'm surprised they chose zodiac.
I am more interested in seeing the new Lotus pieces to see if I can make a set of 3. So far though, the new pieces are a bit dainty, but we'll see if others come out.
If you don't love the piece, I definitely would not purchase out of pressure for sure. The right piece and the right time will come.
Plus, there are so many other jewelry brands and gemstones to buy! No VCA available? No problem! Moving on for now!
