VCA ~ Van Cleef Arpels Discussion thread!

[BigAkoya]

There is a lot of love here for Frivole. I think it is my favorite VCA collection. I just wished they made a long necklace. I keep going to the website looking to create a matching set of 3 pieces in WG pave (wishing as if magically more pieces will appear in WG pave if I keep checking the website )

I'm looking at maybe the Very Large Size long necklace which is really the only option. Since I can't get to a store yet, I found this page on the different Frivole flower sizes (I am hoping the Very Large size is really jumbo looking and pops). Notice how the height and width are not the same. Interesting... I would have thought they would have made each petal the same and divided by three (like even slices of pizza).

Anyway, I wanted to share this link in case others might find it helpful... the more I look, the more I fall in love with Frivole: van-cleef-arpels-motif-size-guide-frivole-en.pdf

Does anyone know if the trace chain is the same as Vintage Alhambra one motif necklace chain? I want to wear them together to achieve double wrap necklace look, like magic pendant ...

I think if you wear it long, the Magic earrings wouldn't be too much. But if you more often wear it doubled, Magic earrings might be a little much. I don't have that combination, but I have tried them on.

Hi,

I have the Malachite magic pendant. Do I get the vintage or Magic malachite earrings to go with it? I love the magic size earrings but wondering if it would be too much with magic pendant. Thanks!

I’d do couleurs. Vintage as a second choice. I also love Frivole in YG.

i love frivole too! Just in case you’re making decisions on the measurements I think the l and w are not comparable, as one measures petal point to petal point and one petal edge to the imaginary line between 2 petals ...

I think the Vintage would look better in my opinion.

Most people will probably say vintage, but I'm a more-is-more kinda gal so I'm saying either...and as I type this I am wearing my Magic earrings with my Magic pendant.

Go for the Magic!

I once purchased the Vintage Malachite earrings - they got lost with my dark hair and returned them.

I don't like matchy but complementary and I would have said VINTAGE but if you must have a set, this is one time I would say go for the MAGIC. Otherwise, your Pave Frivole Earrings in YG would work just fine

Thanks for the replies!
I am planning to go for the Magic! Like @HADASSA said I do have Frivole earrings to wear with Malachite pendant if I don’t want to wear it as a set.

Just got my first turquoise piece in and I’m in love!

STUNNING! Are these the WG? I'm searching for YG but thinking that is never going to happen at a reasonable price.

Anyone with guilloche, how has the shine kept up after wear and if it gets scratched easily?

 

[ThisVNchick]

Has anyone tried mixing VCA with Bvlgari, specifically, the Perlee clover with the serpenti viper pave bracelet? Any thoughts?

So I just bought this bracelet- my sales associate says it does scratch if worn with other bracelets, if worn alone it keeps it’s shine. I personally love stacks and am ok if it scratches

I'm not sure which bracelet that is, but I've been working on my eventual stack and it includes both the Perlee clover (which I have) and Bulgari (on my list):




ETA: In my stack I wouldn't wear the two right next to each other, and will probably add the WG Pasquale Bruni Flower bangle I have here.

thank you for this NP! It is the exact bracelet in this photo! I’ve seen tons of clovers stacked with the single row pave perlee but wanted to see if something else (non VCA) would complement as well.

The perlee clover is gorgeous with the Bulgari. I have personally tried this combination on together. Because I have both the rg and wg clover, I am torn between which metal to buy. I have decided I am going to wait until I see the new narrower clover that mysteriously appeared then disappeared on the VCA website recently and make some decisions on stacking choices. The Bulgari is a stunner on.

Co-sign. More is more. Also, if you ever want to wear them separately, the magic earrings make a statement.

Yay! Glad to help!
