VCA ~ Van Cleef Arpels Discussion thread!

The entire kitchen sink. I wouldn’t do Alhambra on wrists if I stacked the ears lol

Oh but you stack your bracelets so well!

I think I prefer wg pave sweets over turquoise sweets, but I’d say allocate this budget towards the WG lucky bracelet you’ve been hunting! Hehe.

In general, I am not a fan of earring stacked. For some reason, I love bracelets stacked but earrings stacked feel “too much.”

For me, it is clustered more like the last photo, which looks too close together for my eye. The shape of the butterfly sweet might give it more room visually, but I don’t have any butterfly earrings personally. I have pave vintage and non-pave sweets that I can take a photo of later for you, but I just think they are too visually close to an overlapping look for me personally. I have 3rd holes also, which may work better, but I think they are probably closed up.

Thanks Nicole so it’s feeling like a no go. I do want to see the pave combo though. I only have two lobe piercings and I can’t get anymore lol.

You know me so well. I would have done Perlee stack instead lol. Yes saving the money for wg lucky is better than pave sweets.

So I found these on IG. What do you think? I like the idea of the pave wg sweets. That could go with the Turquoise vintage. I don’t want to have tons of earrings that I won’t wear. I wear my studs primarily

WG Pave sweets with vintage studs is exactly what I was thinking.

Ok ladies I’m having a thought and need assistance. Do we like the idea of vintage and sweet earrings worn together for ear stack. I’m wondering if I should get turquoise sweets to wear with my vintage pair.

Loveeee the look. I have seen this before on social media. I am pretty sure they will look great together. I have a vintage and sweet pair on my wishlist

I think this is a bit much, like they’re wearing everything they have at once lol. I’m personally not a fan.

I feel the same way.

I might be minority here, but I love them. I think it’s a fresh more casual look to wear VCA pieces. The key is not to over do the look with necklaces, bracelets etc. This is why I love VCA jewelry, it can be very elegant and dressy but then can also be fun, modern, fresh and casual to wear.

Because I am trying to build a wearable collection, and because of some pieces I have in line and waiting for, I want the MOP sweet and the vintage onyx.

I tried the Onyx sweets on and absolutely loved them. I didn’t get because I would need to SO in RG and decided that my spacer perlee took priority. I saw that combo stacked on the SA instagram and like it.

I personally am not a fan. I find it very ‘heavy’ looking since it is a lot of flat stone. If you want to layer vca earrings I think the best combo is the frivoles - small and mini.

For me it’s always about fresh and modern ways to style Alhambra with casual looks

The Frivoles I did like when I tried on. Interesting idea to stack two pair? We are thinking pave right?

You could do either. I only have one hole but have considered getting a second hole just do get the mini frivoles to stack. I might do mirror though for mini but need to try on. Let me find pic of member on here that posted.
