VCA Van Cleef & Arpels addiction - support group

[lebagfairy]

Power of VCA, even with the recent price increase, I am still thinking about adding more pieces to my collection. Why is that so??? My bank account...

smartsoh power of VCA indeed! I am still very much addicted and with the new mop/onyx/diamond line and talk of the rg magic pave it seems like the beauties are never ending

Looking at the chart now, I regret about my investments. I should buy VCA instead of purchasing those stocks.

LOL my thoughts are if you are bound to buy it anyway, get it before the price increase. If only I hoarded all my loves and ate ramen everyday back in 2007/2008 everything would have been a little over half the price! At some point even the nondiamond 10 motif may cost $20k at this rate...

Some people mentioned having their 10 motifs lengthened. Is this something the boutique can do or is willing to do or can be done only at neiman marcus/independent jeweler?

Thanks so much to all the dear tpfers that posted sweet comments about my new earrings.

Is it too late for me to pile on ? You have the most exquisite taste! The earrings are beautiful

Both boutique and NM can do it for you.

Cannot wait to see your modeling pic!

Thanks
I am being a bit tightfisted and waiting until this Sunday to pay for it because I have a double points offer for next week which saves me around £400 . I hope to have it before the end of next week though so will do some pics.

Hi there Can you share more details about the new rose Magic pendant? I love the long pendants but haven't added one - do you know about pricing, etc? Thanks so much!

Hi Kat . I am embarrassed to admit I have ordered it without a price. My speciall order earrings were £18K and the two motif ring was £13k so I am expecting the diamond pave long pendant to be around £16kor £17k . This piece is going to be a standard item but I am not sure if it will be in any other stones such as MOP.

One last purchase before the price increase on Saturday, the plain yg bracelet to go with the malachite ����

Any other last minute purchases? ����

They look lovely together

You will love Hawaii, trust me, I know!! So many great things about it, sights, beaches, people, culture and on and on. Just thought I'd mention, not that I'm saying it's unsafe, but do NOT leave anything valuable in your rental car. That would be my only caution. Since you have so many beautiful VCA pieces I don't want anything to happen to it. Otherwise you will enjoy your vacation. And depending on how long you go, visit more than one island. They are all similar (weather, mountains and beach) but have different things to offer and different personalities.

I am hoping so thank you for your tip

They both sound gorgeous and especially the rose gold pave pendant. I need a photo to see what it looks like.

Thank you .
My daughter seems to think I should stick with the long pave Magic but am going to try the others on when I next go to London. Will take some pics to post
I think the pendant will be the last piece to my collection.............. Well it is supposed to be anyway lol

Please let me know what you think about the vintage alhambra one-motif necklace in WG/diamond. I am considering this pendant. I have no single motif pendant in the regular size. I have a gray mop x pg sweet pendant. Why I want this pendant is that I want someghing white, diamond piece from the vintage alhambra collection. 10-, 20-motif is too expensive!!! I searched the forum/Net, but no modeling pic of it found! Is it unpopular???


I also am considering of getting the PG JUC bracelet. If I buy the diamond one, I will give up this pendant. If I go for the plain one, I will get the one-motif pendant, too!

Gorgeous! Classic! Get it if you can

I have just been asking this same question! I have had a 9 motif grey mop (Modern) Alhambra necklace for a few years -- for those who aren't familiar with the design I've attached a picture below.




I never wore it because I am really more comfortable in the longer necklaces (18 inches of less makes me feel claustrophobic ). When I saw the grey mop (Modern) Alhambra on the website recently I figured they had brought it back. I tried to order another one (to attach to my necklace) through NM three weeks ago and they told me that it is absolutely retired and cannot be ordered.

There is a happy ending to my story though. A sweet tpfer told me that Beladora had one and I was able to order it through them. The nice thing about attaching two (Modern) Alhambra necklaces together is the clasps are hidden so it it virtually impossible to tell that it isn't one necklace.

I wish that the vintage line had the same hidden clasps.

Thanks pigleto! Yes, the pendant is absolutely classic and gorgerous piece!

Yeah!

Thanks tgg! Yes, yes, yes. I want both!!! But, I really loved the PG diamond JUC. I have not tried on the plain PG one yet, So I have to. My dh prefers JUC with diamond, but he does not say I can get both the pendant and the JUC with diamond...


I gave up purchasing Perlee Diamond Clover Bracelet. My dh does not like it, and after all, I think, as a daily bracelet, it's too gorgeours for me, my lifestyle... I also got Tiffany's 23-stone dbty bracelet!!! After I get the penant/JUC, I WILL BE:banned:

I say get the plain JUC which is super fem in pg, and still get the pendant!!!

Here are mine pedsdds. I've had them for quite a while, though if I'm being honest, I rarely wear them! I still find them beautiful but I have some lovely studs that are my everyday piece. If I didn't have those, I'd probably wear these a lot more. Do I need them? No. Am I glad I own them? Definitely!

I had to come back to view this photo. Love both pieces to death! I have recently started appreciating the tiger eye for the variations of color in every motif. Do you find this piece matches a lot from your wardrobe? When in look into my closet, I don't know that I have much to go with brown bit more black. And the earrings

Thanks CATEYES!!! The plain JUC in PG is super fem? Good news!
