VCA ~ Van Cleef Arpels Discussion thread!

Yes, that is weird if he said Paris has 3. I had a ring shipped from Paris once, and it took just a few days. It was shipped to my boutique in the US, and then I flew out to meet my SA. It was very fast.

So....
If one of those 3 pieces is really yours, it should be in your SA's boutique in days! Woo hoo! You'll have it for your trip.

Fingers crossed!! Thanks!

@jenayb Did your coral come in yet? Thinking of you because I promised to post a photo of my earrings when they came back from the workshop from having the posts added. In a very unsurprising development (if you know me), I remembered in the interim that the earrings I purchased were actually pink Opal (I was thinking they were light pink coral for a minute for some reason), but I love them and wanted to post the promised photo now that they are back, as promised.

Sharing my newest necklace addition! I got it shortened an inch but wondering if it needed another .5-1 inch since it still sits with a slight V. I am going to give this a go for now and see how it marinates it’s very shiny! Thinking I’ll eventually get the ring to complete the set

Sorry to the post here. I should probably post my question as a new thread.

Thanks so much! Happy to share more pics if helpful. I also tried it on with the pave motifs in the past as well

Can I have opinions on VCA RG worn with Cartier RG? I just popped into Maison Birks and was finally able to appreciate some Perlée and Frivole pieces in person. The RG is very pink! I love it but how does it look next to Cartier RG? Unfortunately they had no RG bracelets in stock to try on with my Love. (I’m not certain which forum to post in as this is sort of crossing both brands)

VCA is a touch more pink but they are close enough. That said I’ve been mixing earrings and necklaces, I don’t have any RG bracelets where it’s a little closer together. I would guess it probably looks ok though! I took a pic of my VCA and Cartier RG earrings side by side a little while back. I can search that pic if it’s helpful to you

@sleepydoc.

Here’s with yellow gold frivole. But at Cartier we discussed that the RG clash was not very rosy for whatever reason. Their rose golds are not consistent

My Trinity necklace has a rose gold chain which is more rosy and matched the VA rose gold more. Probably really need to compare things in person

The chain was too hard to photograph I tried

Thank you! Yes I agree, I have heard that before about Clash RG. Think the Love RG is more pink.

I wonder if related to the design since clash has all the moving parts maybe it needs to be a harder gold (I would assume RG is slightly softer but maybe I’m totally wrong, don’t remember chemistry any more haha). it’s funny I liked that about it, but I for some reason never tried on any rose gold til my SA told me to try on the VA earrings and I loved it. I was “done” with my VA collection, but now I am strongly considering adding the bracelet and/or necklace Officially converted into a RG fan!

I love their RG, it’s so pretty.

Hello Does anyone have a photo of the 5 motif rose gold guilloche and carnelian bracelet paired/stacked with a yellow gold bracelet? Really would like to see how these pieces look stacked? I’d love to see how any of you mix rose and yellow gold vca bracelets.
