I actually own both. I got the small about 3 years ago and earlier this year I got the large. The comments/compliments I have gotten have been on the small because I've had them for so long and have worn them often.

Here's a comparison picture I took a few months ago...

Hey R ��
I've missed seeing you, sorry you arent feeling well ��.
Mitchell is a sweetheart. He takes very good care of me. I'm glad you enjoy working with him. I've known him for several years.
When I spoke to him about my large Frivoles yesterday he told me you had received your small ones and loved them. ��
I'm really looking toward to mine - excited!!
I have a couple things that had to be ordered from Paris. I'll be waiting more than 3 weeks. ��
Hope you are feeling better soon. ��

Fansynancy, I agree with bougainvillier. After having your wish granted of YG, are you now trying to find justifications not to purchase? It happens to the best of us. I have purchased handbags that I know I will never use but at the point in time, I felt I would eventually use them. Sometimes one big purchase may seem outrageous but if I am to count the cost of all my unused bags, I could purchase so much more VCA.

If you intend to wear everyday, then be aware that there are issues with the closing mechanism. Yes, at $30K, it is a big investment but we can only be present. Who knows what the future holds?

For what it's worth, I have never had any problems with the closing mechanism on my clover Perlee. I have had it for 4 years.

Oh wow sbelle, how gorgeous!!!

I was online yesterday and for some reason, just noticed the lotus pave diamond, and fell in love :love eyes:

I was thinking I would save money for the pave frivole, but now I can't stop thinking about the lotus. I am holding off going to my boutique until 2015 as I am always weak in the knees and have no willpower when I'm so close to any VCA jewelry.

Does anyone here own the lotus pave diamonds? I would love to hear everyone's thoughts on the Frivole vs. the Lotus.

I think the lotus earrings are pretty.
For the money, however , I feel that there are other similar designs that are at least as beautiful but with larger diamonds. One example is the Victoria cluster earring by Tiffany.
The lotus flower holds a dear meaning in some cultures so I can see how these might be cherished, along with the ring.
They are beautiful and sparkly like all van Cleef diamond jewelry.

Yes, I think some of the items do seem to be cheaper now!

That's really mind boggling but I guess it's good news :)
I think I might give them a call and ask why the price decrease

UPDATE:
I just called VCA and they told me the price decrease is due to Pounds sterling being strong at the moment and they are adjusting the price according to the rest of world.

Hi everyone!

I have been trying to get my first VCA piece and could not decide which one among below necklaces in YG or RG..
- Sweet Alhambra mini Clover necklace in Mother of Pearl
- Sweet Alhambra mini Clover necklace in Black Onyx
- Sweet Alhambra mini Clover necklace in Carnelian

Does anyone wear this necklace as an everyday piece? Is it safe to wear them in the shower? I am hoping to wear them throughout the year by itself or layering with other pieces.☺

Ladies- among the 10 motif necklaces, which is more casual looking to you? I want to get my first which I would like to wear often if not daily. However I am mostly casual to business casual, definitely not dressed up often. All yellow gold, or onyx/yellow gold? Thanks !!
