VCA ~ Van Cleef Arpels Discussion thread!

[Deleted member 626500]

I'm looking at buying my first VCA piece. I'm looking at the onyx 5 motif bracelet, but I was wondering if it's durable enough for daily wear? Does anyone have any insight into this?

I've had the necklace in onyx for at least 15 years . . . it's pristine.

I got a little excited at first, but looking at the options again I refined my wishlist!

To what, may I ask? It's always fun to hear . . . gives me ideas (dangerous) I may not have thought of . . .

Probably GMOP RG bracelet and Calcedony RG magic earrings.

I wouldn’t mind onyx with white gold if that’s an option. Oh dear ‍♀️

That’s the NYC combo

I’m sure many of you have heard this fun news, but many new combos are available using stones in the existing collection with new metal combinations (white gold/pink gold and onyx, grey MOP and many combos, pink gold and chalcedony magic earrings etc). Turn around is 2-5 months, but no special order fee. My SA said it is for VIP only, but I have never purchased high jewelry and am not a VIP, so I think any existing customers with a decent purchase history will be approved.
I think I will order chalcedony and pink gold magic earrings or a GMOP combo.

Thank you for sharing this news.

@nicole0612 I had seen the entire price list before and I would say prices are about 30% or so over the prices of existing pieces in the same ranges (vintage or magic). So it would be SO prices in disguise.

I know. Loooove it. Would have tried for the onyx wg pave but alas . Fun to dream

If that's the case, I will pass. There are enough pieces in the regular line that are still on my wish list, albeit without a premium. No wonder it's for VIP's only . . .
On the other hand, if it's the ONLY way to get a specific combination, it's without question something I've wanted, and I would wear it . . . all the time, every day . . . I would do it

Yes, I agree! I just talked to my SA (English is not her first language, so her messages to me were different than what the actual case is), and it seems like normal SO prices. I’m not sure why she told me it was such exciting news, though it’s nice that it’s easier to obtain these items now.

In an unrelated topic, has anyone developed an allergy to gold over time? I am worried that it is happening to me.
