VCA ~ Van Cleef Arpels Discussion thread!

Hello gorgeous!

To everyone who had your VCA item shipped, was it ever taped inside? Like they put a single layer of tape over your jewelry to hold it secure while it’s in the jewelry box.

I’m looking to purchase one from an individual who claims this is a new item that she received from a family friend. Just curious if this how they ship?

My SA has sent me a bracelet where she wrapped the bracelet in soft plastic. And I’ve received bracelets not wrapped as well. I have never ordered online.

Unless she has the sales receipt and certificate of authenticity, I wouldn't consider it. The tape sounds very odd. Adhesive shouldn't be touching the bracelet. But regardless, I'd never buy from an individual I didn't know without receipt and certificate.

It’s actually a watch- it’s divine

Has anyone else received a lovely VCA assouline book in the mail recently? Perhaps this is something they do for new clients. Just received one in the mail last night and it was so lovely! Gives a thorough overview of the history of the brand and its development. And of course, some fantastic photos really showing what the maison is capable of!

It’s your valentine gift
VCA is lovely like that ❤️

I just bought the rose gold sweet 6 motif bracelet but I have to say the color is very coppery. It’s much more so than my Tiffany rose gold bracelet which I was hoping to stack with.

That was actually the first piece of VCA that I bought, and I exchanged it for a yellow gold vintage bracelet. The color was too coppery for me. I would buy their pink gold with gray mother of pearl or diamonds, but the all pg just wasn't a flattering color for me.

i like them both equally which is why the choice is so difficult, thank you for the advice

thank you for the recommendation

Completely agree with Wisconsin you don’t see a lot of people wearing frivole but vintage Alhambra is the go to pieces for VCA lovers!
My SA always tells me to buy more Frivole and perlee pieces, they are chic and don’t scream vca, kind of if you know you know! Plus I hear they are well priced!
As far as what to choose, I’m a white tee/ denim and either sneakers or Chanel flat and feel that both pieces can be dressed up or down! I also feel this Frivole necklace is more feminine than Guillauche, in the end both lovely pieces to add to your collection

I heard on Instagram that rock crystal is coming back in February 2020

I got it late last year but I had expressed my interest and had a deposit down for awhile! You should get it, it is soooooo pretty and interesting to look at! Due to the translucency, it matched EVERYTHING...LOL!!!

GORGEOUS!!!!! Wow!!! Congratulations!!!

Thank you!
It is so interesting and fun to wear!! IT confounds some people that know VCA as they question what stone it is. I was wearing it with a fuchsia blouse and so it looked like I was wearing a fuchsia necklace!
