Van Cleef in action!

[sbelle]

Thank you for sharing. They are beautiful on you!
I just ordered a pair a couple weeks ago. I don't live near a VCA, so I have to fly to see the pieces. I was going to wait until my next trip to see them in real life to compare against some other earrings. However, my SA said they were out of stock, so I decided to just get them.

Do you have the Lotus Ring too? I bought the earrings to match my ring (I'm kinda matchy matchy).

Thank you so much for this beautiful photo! They are gorgeous on you!

Thank you for your sweet comments !

I do not have the Lotus ring, nor do I have any VCA rings. I am not really a ring person and not much of a bracelet person . I think they look gorgeous on everyone here , but just not my thing. Earrings and necklaces are my thing .

These look so beautiful on you. Of course you have a wonderful earring collection, but the beauty of these Lotus earclips are elevated to a new level when being worn. I feel like I am seeing them for the first time

Thank you !

Your earring collection has to be the very best! I started an earring thread awhile ago, and I had put a couple of pictures in there of past collection photos that you had posted. Would you mind if I add some of these recent photos that you have posted? It's rare to see Cosmos and even the small Lotus earrings and it's good to have everything in the earring thread!

I love the perlee diamond studs. I have been told by so many people that they are not a great value, but I think they are gorgeous. They would be beautiful with the perlee pave and malachite between the finger ring

There is a thing that attracts and resonates with your mind even though you know that it may not be the best value. Sometimes, it goes away, and sometimes it stays. So, I suggest you let the time test it.
(About the Perlee studs, they are not easy to sit on nicely like they do on you, depending on the shapes of the ear)
I have the same thing(not the same item). It stayed, so I surrendered and purchased it.

They are absolutely stunning! Thank you for the beautiful pics because I have considered them multiple times myself but never had a chance to try them in store! I was actually considering them with the perlee pave and carnelian BTF ring!

Perlee is my favorite line in VCA. Simple design

You are too kind. Post away if you think it adds to the earring thread!

I stopped posting pictures for awhile -- especially after Photobucket started charging to store pictures. I never wanted to have the evidence on my computer for DH to see! But I do have a few more of the less popular earrings, so I will try and post a few more.

sbelle, my small pave lotus are one of most worn everyday earrings. They are so lightweight and easy to wear. I have the large fleurettes on order, I have been told it will be a wait. I saved your picture for inspiration! I was going back and forth between these and the pave butterflies. I like the post style of the fleurettes and I am so glad to hear you find them useful. I have wanted them since TGG posted ages ago. My SA agrees and didn't even let me consider the small ones!
I would love your thoughts on something- I just picked up the new sweet clover bangle in wg over the weekend. I thought it would be a good casual option for the summer when I didn't want to wear the regular one. By itself it is a little lonely, it requires a "friend" on my wrist. What would you suggest?

Since COVID, I am in a striped tee, skinny Bermuda shorts or skinny jeans all day, but I always wear my bling. Recently, I've been into loose linen sweaters. I used to wear stiff suits when I was travelling weekly, but no more.

For casual clothes, I think of jewelry as playful, a big pop of bling, the blingy-er, the more playful.
I think we get overly sensitive when we see photos on Instagram and even on this forum when people are dressed so nicely wearing their bling.

For me, Alhambra, Frivole, Lotus... they look great with my striped tee and shorts... it pulls an outfit together and looks so casual chic.

I always mix my branded bags with casual wear, but not my bling. That's a good lesson I'm learning here!!

 

[911snowball]

Oh Lucy, wear that bling! I wear my pave with everything, instantly adds happiness to any outfit!

The Lotus really are special, aren’t they ?

I am like you in that I wear my diamond earrings constantly — I love how they can go from casual to dressy . I only have two pairs of earrings that are blingy enough that I think about where I wear them--the small yg pave Cosmos (and they are the small!) and the wg pave Magic Alhambra. To me, both of those pack a big punch and I won't wear them everywhere.


I think you will love the fleurettes when you get them.

One issue I had with my fleurettes , that may not be a problem for you , is the la pousette backs. I had such trouble with them ! My original posts were very short and that combined with the la pousette backs made it so I had a very hard time taking the earrings off! VCA replaced the original posts with longer posts and after much prodding gave me a different back for them . So if you do have any issues, that is an option .


And sadly I don’t have helpful thoughts to share on VCA bracelets. I don’t really wear bracelets as I find it annoying that I always knock them into something . I admire all the beautiful ladies here (you included !) that wear them so elegantly and effortlessly!

I do own a few bracelets — the VCA 5 row Perlee , and a few Verdura . But they do not see the light of day much .

I think the pave perlee studs would be beautiful with the carnelian and pave BTF ring! I actually fell in love with the malachite and pave ring version, but my SA told me not to purchase it because the malachite would be ruined in a ring with hand-washing. The carnelian and pave would be a good one to consider, and the value is quite incredible actually.

My magic 6 motif and yg 10 motif have been getting all the attention lately. Keeping it simple today for a park meetup with the kids in my 2016 LE single motif.

I'm so sorry snowball. I know you didn't ask me but I have always admired your collection.

Do you have the signature bangle? I think that would look lovely with your new sweet clover bangle.

 

[911snowball]

Hello EpiFanatic- Thank you so much for your thoughts! That is exactly what my SA had suggested! I was thinking the single row diamond perlee bangle but she said she would prefer the signature. Then she smiled and said I would be in for a wait as it is backordered in the size small! You have a gorgeous collection, I love what you have as well.
My SA put me on the list for the signature- it seems just about everything is on backorder these days!

That was my hesitation with the malachite and pave BTF finger! I am all about malachite but not so much in a ring or bracelet because for me those are harder prices to maintain. The carnelian on the other hand I am assuming will be easier maintenance wise. And oh yes, the price is super attractive as compared to other BTF rings. I have some years to mull over this because I still have quite a few pieces to get off my wishlist! Darn VCA …just when you think you are done, your eyes chance upon something spectacular!
