Beautiful piece. Is this a new VCA piece? I don't recall seeing it online, but perhaps I missed it or it's a new collection? Do any pieces come in WG?
Congratulations!
Today’s stack: VCA, Monica Vinader, Tiffany and Cartier, coupled with my Bulgari and Mejuri diamond rings…
Vintage piece, I believe.Beautiful piece. Is this a new VCA piece? I don't recall seeing it online, but perhaps I missed it or it's a new collection? Do any pieces come in WG?

@BigAkoya I have admired this design the few times I have seen photos online, so I believe that @Stardust Andromeda's stunning ring is from the Cerfs-Volants line, and this piece is called Entre les Doigts ring. Here is a nice little article from 2015, when it seems to have been a new release. The article gives a lovely summary of the line with delicious photos of various pieces.
Cerfs-Volants: the Excellency and Splendour in Van Cleef & Arpels’ Jewellery

Here is the intro to the article:
"Van Cleef & Arpels new jewellery collection all revolves around magic flying kites. Faithful interpreter of lightness and movement, Van Cleef & Arpels celebrates the kite as the epitome of light movement in the sky. Considered a guardian in the Asian culture, the kite confers its joyful dynamism to a new jewellery and high jewellery collection: Cerfs-Volants ™. Delicate and full of refinement, the kite is a key inspiration source for Van Cleef & Arpels, which has explored themes such as feathers, birds and butterflies since its very beginning. This graphic motif, which already graced the watch collection Cadrans Extraordinaires ™ Cerfs-Volants, is enhanced today by eight jewellery creations and by seven unique high jewellery masterpieces. These latter virtuously illustrate the Maison’s typical style, centered on the artistic transposition of the notions of movement and flexibility into tangible chefs-d’oeuvre."

So sorry for the late response! Yes, the ring is part of the cerfs volants collection which was launched around 2015 and discontinued a few years thereafter. @nicole0612 - I am so glad you love the design too. There is something so magical with the kites. There was one up for auction on Christie's a few months back but Christie's required pick up in NY or will only post within USA ... so that was a pass since I am based in Asia. A different design came up recently and I wanted it since it was Xmas and as @lynne_ross pointed out, I had been good! So this became DH's Xmas gift to me.

The ruby mystery setting ring... I love that ring, but knowing VCA and their rubies, that ruby ring would probably cost an arm and a leg. I love rubies... it's like that huge ruby bracelet from this seaon's high jewelry they advertised.

Would love to see your ring and earrings if you'd like to share.
I am so happy for you, that you were able to add this beautiful and whimsical treasure to your collection! Wishing you and your family a happy holiday season.
Isn’t it stunning? I love to see designs created through the years; the lesser known pieces are beautiful and interesting to see, and it also tells of the history and identity of the house in a way; the creativity, the risks taken, it makes me fall in love with the brand all over again and brings back the magic that excited me in the first place.The ruby mystery setting ring...

I know! I love the less common pieces. They are so artistic and more reflective of the brand. And I love their bold pieces.
My Impossible Dream is to have a custom made ruby Jarretiere bracelet (like Marlene Dietrich's). That will never happen of course.
I saw this piece for 2021 and fell in love. It’s a hinged bangle which I love big bangles. I asked for specs on this piece thinking I might could do a once in a lifetime splurge. Nope! Not even close! What was I thinking! Rubies are expensive enough, add VCA and it’s another Impossible Dream!
This piece was just sold anyway when I asked. Some lucky person now owns it.

Sure! Here’s a picture I took when I got the holiday pendant and realised the colours matched Sorry, I am too shy to post a modeling pic! The little dangling pendants are all mobile so the earrings have a nice bit of movement when worn.
