VCA ~ Van Cleef Arpels Discussion thread!

[missie1]

I too tried to order it in RG size large and was told it’s not orderable right now.

I just got one the other day but I requested from my SA few months ago and left deposit. It seems like stock is still slowing coming in

Apologies if there is a specific thread for this - I wanted to know if the YG guilloche earrings come in a magic size? Would this be considered a SO? Does anyone know approximate costs for such a pair? Thankyou!

I have not seen it in the magic size. I bet it would have to be a special order. I have no idea as to cost, but my WAG is over $10k. Hope others will chime in.

Dang . Did you ask your SA if they can bring it from another store, or when you would be able to order it?

Yes, she said there is no inventory throughout the US or Canada. She did not know when I would be able to order.

I'd like to delve into what's going on with VCA....I enquired about the perlee d'or bracelet in white gold and there's no availability in the US....my go to SA is no longer with VCA. I have another boutique I've purchased through and my SA there said I can get it with a deposit down.....I've read so much of this tactic on the forum.....What direction is VCA headed?

I’m wondering if it’s just issue of the Perlee line production being so much less than Alhambra typically. It seems now since pandemic the Perlee demand in US has shot up. I put deposit down when I inquired about it and I got it other day. It was about 2 month wait I think

For those in Europe and not near any VCA store, some creations that used to be unavailable for online purchase are now available on the website, such as Vintage Alhambra bracelets in malachite, tiger's eye, and white gold guilloché.

I sent my onyx pendant in to have the 2 inches added to the chain. I bought it in July, but only wore it once after realizing the skin on my neck is sensitive and I break out in a rash if directly on my skin. Anyway, I just got it back and am a bit bummed they sent it to me looking like this. Is this glue, or from a polishing machine or something? I only tried gently rubbing it with a cloth and it doesn’t come off. Will try some gentle jewelry cleaner and a toothbrush next. I’m pretty new to VCA so I wasn’t sure if this was normal for it to be sent back like this after being serviced.

I collect the onyx pieces and use this. It works really well for onyx I have found and it even removed a scratch that I had on a Magic piece. I use a soft microfiber cloth.

Now I am curious to know if anyone has a SO Guilloché earrings in the Magic size? The VA Guilloché earrings are quite heavy on my ears, I cant imagine the weight of Magic Guilloché on my ears

Finally, I got the brand new one yesterday. Happy to share 10 motifs TE!

Tiger eye has become my favourite stone. It has so much interest to it, I love how the lines move and it goes with everything. Yours is gorgeous! Enjoy.

Tigers eye is so gorgeous. I really wish they would release a magic in tigers eye.

100% inconsistent across the board!!! I posted last week about my SA telling me she was unable to order the Perlee Pearls of gold bracelet for me. I called a different boutique and they accepted my deposit and placed the order. Is this a game or just very bad management at the top levels?
