VCA ~ Van Cleef Arpels Discussion thread!

[880]

@880 look what I found... the Estrucan. This is for you.

Thank you so much! You are the best! The photo is stunning!

@nightbefore, ITA re earring with a flower issue! Congrats on piaget possession! It’s gorgeous! Action shot is in order please!

@bing-sta, I agree with @gagabag (re the mini lotus since you love it) or @lilpikachu re the holiday pendant ( esp if that’s the one you wanted originally). Fun choices to ponder!

I honestly don't think the Perlee would look that good with your Loves. Most VCA is more feminine/whimsical and Love and JUC are more industrial/modern. I would definitely not wear the Perlee 24/7 because I'd want to keep it in nice condition. I realize Loves are worn 24/7 but most other fine jewelry shouldn't be. I have seen that Perlee diamond bracelet worn with the Perlee Signature and Perlee Clover bracelets. I'd probably just get a simple diamond bangle to wear with your Loves. You could, of course, get the pave Love, but that's a lot of Love bracelets. I'd go try some on to see what you like.

I’ve worn my perlee clovers with my thin cartier pave and plain love bracelet and think it looks pretty good. It’s not my go to but do think it can be pulled off. I am swooning over the pave regular love and have actually debated parting with the perlee clovers to help fund it but have held off for fear I may regret that decision.

Wow that perlee rings all together with long perlee couleurs necklace, I never thought that I would say this but they outshined the alhambra pieces next to it I can’t keep my eyes away from perlee I also never thought estrucan would look this good, @880 you should get that cuff! Will look fabulous on you! And decision made def getting the mini frivole!

I’d also like to know when new Alhambra pieces usually get released. I’m planning on buying a 5 motif soon but would kick myself if something else came out that I would have really liked too! Anybody got any info on when in the year new releases come out?

Yes... isn't this the best photo of Perlee stuff? Perlee is growing on me. I found this photo as I was looking at the turquoise Perlee Couleurs pieces to get a set. So for me, the highlight in this photo is the other model wearing the turquoise pieces! I love the turquoise BTF ring and turquoise bangle. Something for everyone in this photo!

This is a dream stack.

I would keep the Perlee Clovers

I think the necklaces on the model on right is just too much I was trying to imagine it without necklces and only perlee pieces on ear and hand, it looks very beautiful and sophisticated. I actually realized lately that im not really into 20 motifs, it was used to my HG piece as I mentioned in other thread. I am glad I didn’t get it, it would be a big purchase and I would kick myself if I wouldn’t wear it enough

I just saw on ******** that the US tariffs on French goods will be 25% . Anyone know anything about this? Since it’s hitting LV and Chanel, I’m assuming this means VCA will also be 25% more expensive? Can anyone weigh in?

I googled and it seems the 25% tariff is on cosmetics and bags but not jewelry from what I could find.

I’m curious to know why some members buy 2 10Ms instead of one 20M? Is it so you can switch up the look (choker and long)? I just figured if you double loop the 20, you can also achieve the choker look.

 

[ODEDIHAIMS]

Does anyone have the frivole bangle that was released this past spring? I would love action shots and general opinions about how wearable it is, how you wear it, how you style it, etc. Basically, enable me!

I’m in love with the frivole bangle as well and would love some enabling pictures.......anyone?

Hi everyone! I just got my first VCA piece- vintage alhmabra in GMOP and RG. I’m thinking about adding a bracelet, but don’t know which direction to go. The diamond/GMOP is a little too flashy for my everyday wear and probably exceeds my budget.

Would you all go with the VA hammered RG 5 motif? I’m open to mixing metals, so it doesn’t have to be RG. I’d love a GMOP bracelet without diamonds, but that does not exist to my knowledge.

Alternatively, I was thinking about starting my stack with the small JUC from Cartier.

What would you all do?!

No one knows when new things will be released. They released some new things last year at different times. Jewelry is not like fashion and purses with set seasonal releases.

GMOP bracelet is special order. I have it in rose gold
