VCA ~ Van Cleef Arpels Discussion thread!

will the stones get scratched if i'm going to stack two vca bracelets together? as i'm planning to get the onyx or mop as well. the sa said no but i want to hear from you experts.

Thanks everyone for the advices. I decided to go with carnelian. I chose the darkest red stones. The onyx also looks good on my skintone, i’m planning to get it next. I have my bracelet adjusted and I will not get in couple of weeks. The sa said they have to send it to the artisan from the flagship store to get it adjusted. Is it true? I thought i could take home my bracelet the same day. I bought mine from vca boutique in hudson yards in NYC. View attachment 4666735

I don't know if it's the lighting. But the carnelian looks really bright orangy red here.

Congrats.

For sure will scratch, yes.

I don't have the Frivole or the Socrate (love both btw), but I have the Lotus BTF ring. I used to wear it a lot, both formally and casually...see my pic below. Due to personal/health reasons, I've not been socialising as much and thus have not been wearing as much bling lately. But once I start wearing bling again, I shall definitely wear my beloved BTF again. It doesn't slip off easily, no.

I hope you are better soon Phoenix!

 

[lynne_ross]

is it possible to resize a BTF ring later on with vca?

I was told no as well. I have 2 rings on my list and I plan to buy for my larger fingers so if they swell over time I can still wear on my smaller finger. I found the lotus secure regardless of fit.

Thank you, Lynne.

hi, is orangey-red not a good thing for carnelian? sorry, i don't know much i'm still new to vca. i chose the darkest red the sa showed me or could it be my skintone causing them to turn to orangey-red tone?

I LOVE orangy-red. It's my favourite colour. I'd love to get an orangy-red carnelian but I've only ever seen darker shades IRL and they do not look flattering on my skin tone.

I heard rock crystal is coming to US soon but in limited quantities and at limited locations (like NYC)... He said he is going to keep watching and bring the bracelet in for me =)
(((fingers crossed)))

Is it the same pieces that came out before or is it going to be new pieces (WG or PG)?

if rock crystal is coming out in white gold...chalcedony might need to take a backseat for now.

The second stack is killer!!! I'm sure I'm in the minority but if I wanted to wear 13688523 bracelets on one wrist, I'd prefer this look over Cartier.

Congrats on you bracelet! Looks beautiful!
I stack my vintage bracelets daily... no scratches on my MOP. They look perfect.... and I plan on adding rock crystal =)
