VCA ~ Van Cleef Arpels Discussion thread!

[hopingoneday]

while searching for frivole small earrings, I found this large vintage diamond alhambra earrings http://www.rubylane.com/item/1187334-vcax20diax20earrings/Van-Cleef-Arpels-Alhambra-Collection-18K

Is it too good to be true? the price on VCA online boutique now is 23k and this seller asked for only 7.5k, negotiable.

These look pretty good to me. Are they returnable?

Attached are a few pics of my new holiday pendant. It is so gorgeous in real life and I love that it can look dark and light. The MOP has such a beautiful contrast and the diamond has a lot of fire that was hard to capture in photos. I also attached a comparison pic for fun.

Congrats hun, it's absolutely beautiful and looks perfect on you!!!

I'm new to this forum. I absolutely love all the vca eye candy on here.
I wanted to share a pic of my holiday pendant. It's now been put away for me to open for Christmas but thought it would be nice to show a picture of it for anyone thinking about purchasing thisView attachment 2766607! The colour variation in the light is just beautiful and I think will match with a lot of clothing colours. My first vca pendant and I love it!

Congrats on this beauty, you will have an amazing Xmas!!!

hi everyone! new here but wanted to share a vintage piece i got from an antique show a few years ago. they didn't have much info about the piece but from my research i think it's from the 1990's but i could be wrong. if anyone has info please LMK!!

Beautiful. I believe this design is known as "Trefle."

These seem to be the older version, with the "rope" edging, rather than the beading. That would partially account for the low price.

Buying the super size was a little bit of an impulse purchase as I heard that VCA didn't have plans to make any more of them in the near future.

Hi all! I wanted to clarify my statement above just to make sure I am clear. I was not told that the super size vintage alhambra yg page earclips were being retired. I was told there are no production plans for them in the near future. I asked specifically whether they were being retired, and was told that they were not saying that, just that there was no production scheduled . My interpretation was that after they sold the last two in the country there would be a period of time where the earclips were not available .

I am declining the pendant, so if anyone wants it! Pm me . It is on hold and the last one he has.

Older design but still beautiful.
It appears they may have accidently priced them as if they were the small. ( regular) size.

They have quoted the dimension of the earrings so you can compare to yours to make sure abt the size. I myself don't have any and vca don't state those info on their website so I have no idea abt the size.

This seller on 1stdibs accept return with no restocking fee but I don't know how to verify its authentication. The price is so tempting

Hi Ladies, a few weeks ago I was having a dilemma about the holiday pendant (older posts in this thread). I worried if it would compete with my dbty necklace. At the time I wasn't able to see it in person and passed. Yesterday, at my local VCA, the SA had me try it on anyway. She really liked it on me and understood that I never take my dbty off. Here's the photo (sorry, I don't know how to size). I'm holding the holiday piece as far down as I can with the idea of using an extension of some kind. What do you think?

Please ignore my old décolletage ( should have used sunscreen as a teen).
