VCA Van Cleef & Arpels addiction - support group

[CATEYES]

Hi ladies, thank you so much for always posting your VCA pieces. I fell in love with VCA when I first saw the vintage alhambra necklace. I then noticed the price tag. *faint*

Still, this week, I'm terribly grateful to my DD (and mum) who gifted me the 2012 lim. edition rose gold MOP pendant with diamond as I'm pregnant and this will be their first grandchild. heh

Loving this necklace and wearing it everyday! Slightly worried about the chain snapping if my baby ever grabs and pulls on it hard though...

Super gorg!

Just gorgeous I'll Take Too, you are my VCA hero!

Hi Suzie ,thanks . Hero NOT addict YES ( along with quite a few others here ) L.OL

Tae Thanks sweety

Lubird 217 Thanks . Looking forward to seeing your Lucky bracelet ,hope you love it when it arrives.

Kimber418 Thanks .The special order onyx is a 10 motif with a bracelet attached to make it 15 motif and then another bracelet attached.

Junkenpo & MP4 Thanks glad you liked them.

Cat eyes Thanks and big congrats to you ,hope you have an easy pregnancy.

Texasgirlygirl the large motif works really well as a pendant and could be put back on at anytime. My local jeweller made the bale for mine for £120. Not sure whether there would be any cost benefit over buying a five motif bracelet and the separate long pendant .If I was doing it again I would ask for the bale to be made like the new long magic pendant .Pic attached I wear it with my Cosmos chain at the moment until I receive a Forcat chain .

Slegna Very pretty piece !!

Here's more Malachite pics, but I'm less excited now with everyone saying how fragile this is going to be:

Thanks for the photos... I'd like the vintage with diamond! Well, if you recall my story, the piece was broken the minute I brought it back to the hotel. I don't know if it was an isolated incident or if it is indeed more fragile.

Totally agree with you! Colored stone love bracelet is what i'm getting this month! And I totally hate the brownlish red carnelian as well, but my SA says all the carnelian pieces she's been getting in the last few months have been brownish red.

Hi OuiCestLaVie! My SA did not mention about it, but yes, the carnelian pieces in the store looked all brownish red!!! I used to see many of very dark red. I'll wait until I find my colour!!! (About Love, I am torn between Rainbow and 10-diamond... I don't know if they can find RG 10 diamond one soon...)

Very pretty and feminine! I also love your other gold chain.

I can't remember how to multiquote with the new layout.

TGG - i was about to say what a fab idea using the large malachite charm as a pendant, when I saw I'll Take Two's post on how she had implemented it. Kudos to you both! (Or as Ramona from RHNY would say, kadooz to you both, LOL!)

Beautiful necklace! thank you so much for the close up and modeling shot. I wish mop/rg was part of the permanent line, it's so pretty.

O.M.G!! I went into a vca boutique today just to browse around. I casually asked an SA when they are expecting to receive malachite, and I couldn't believe my ears when said she has a 20 motif necklace in the back. It was sold and waiting for customer pickup. I asked if I could try it on, and she brought it out for me. IT IS JUST STUNNING!!! I think I have to get a malachite piece now! Then I said I wonder why they would only release a magic pendant instead of vintage pendant, and guess what? She said she could order a vintage pendant with a diamond in the center, just like the Xmas limited edition ones! She said malachite has always been available for VIP special order and she can order one pendant wih diamond for me even though I'm not a VIP. Should I? Should I??

Omigosh, how exciting! If you really want the single motif, you should get it. If you are saving for another piece, then maybe you should wait for it.

A pendant sounds beautiful. Especially with a diamond.
Please share details about the twenty motif... Was the green bright or dark? Was it striped? I can't wait to see one!

A vintage sized single motif seems perfect for more casual wear....hmmmmm. My DH asked his SA and he told him no, we couldn't special order it if we wanted It's so funny how our sa's give such differing answers for the same questions

So cool you got to try on the 20 motif!

I asked today @ VCA NY and my SA also said no special orders. She is taking $ for the malachite now, she said the magic necklace is very popular!
