Van Cleef Ads Through the Years

[sbelle]

I just stumbled on some vintage VCA ads on the internet and it gave me the idea of starting this thread.

I'm thinking we can post ads -- old and new-- from magazines, newspapers, social media, etc.

I'll start with the vintage ones I stumbled across plus some a few recent ones.

This is a great idea, sbelle! I LOVE ads! Like many people, I am very visual, so I tend to pay attention to print ads (much more so than TV or radio ads, etc.) and sometimes save them if they inspire me! I really enjoy the vintage VCA ads you posted. It's exciting to follow the evolution of the designs as well as the history of VCA itself!

Found some more vintage. I find them interesting but the ads today is so much more gorgeous!

Omg, I especially love the 1957 one of the couple with the cat. How charming! Sbelle, you are a wonder. These are great.

+1 on all sentiments!

I love this as a picture, how funny that it features no jewelry and yet I think it is my favorite ad! Of course I am a sucker for both blue AND cats! I would love to have this as a framed picture.

Great thread Sbelle, thank you for taking the time to post these ads!

I am finding it interesting as I locate these older advertisements that I have yet to find one that features the alhambra lines.
