VCA ~ Van Cleef Arpels Discussion thread!

I never have formal or dressy occasions, so my large frivole are everyday earrings. lol I did get to wear them to DH's Xmas party which was slightly dressier than normal, but usually I wear them with just about everything.

Here are some older images I have on my computer. I'm wearing them with a tshirt & jeans and one of my favorite jade pendants. Other pic I've posted before is just a close up because I was happy about how it came out.

So gorgeous and casual! Thanks so much for sharing your photos!!! I just tried wearing them with a very simple Jennifer Meyer bar necklace and am surprised how well it works! So glad too to hear you wear them everyday!

Hi everyone! Just wanted to share my rose gold sweet bracelet! I'm 5 months pregnant with my first and have had a really difficult time of it so far. I lost a lot of weight from being sick, so I finally broke down and took medication so I'm starting to feel better. I decided to treat myself to something little as a pick me up. This is my second VCA piece. I think I may have to wear it on the inner loop. Thanks for letting me share!

Oh no! I feel your pain Was sick for entire first 6 months with both pregnancies. I eventually took the nausea pills even though didn't want to and it did help. So happy your feeling better! This bracelet is sure to help-looks perfect on you! Every time you wear it, you will think of your pregnancy. Even though right now hard, you will look back with fond memories every time you see little rose gold sweet

Junkenpo-These look beautiful on you! Yes if you don't have formal events and can pull these off for daily life, do so! I wish these looked good in me. I tried them on at the boutique and although I'm not petite, looked huge on me DH gave me look like wth are you thinking? Lol! But I love them on everyone here. Your pics make me want to go try them on again and see if I and DH have different reaction..... Thanks for sharing!

Bougainvillier-I have same necklace and it gets so much use!! I can see what you mean about your work but to have diversity (like most of the ladies here suggest) get another 10 and connect the two together when you want the longer look. Then can unconnect when want shorter look.

Just got my YG large Frivole earrings and while they simply stunning and surprisingly comfortable, I'm still getting accustomed to their size and wonder if they're OK to wear everyday as I'd hoped to. With that in mind, I'd love recommendations or photos for casual necklaces (other than the Alhambra which I'm still debating about getting) that would go with the earrings for everyday wear.

You will get used to them. Promise!!
How fabulous!!
I usually do not wear a necklace when I wear these earrings but I'm a minimalist.
Occasionally I will wear the frivole multistation necklace but my favorite compliment to the frivole earrings is a. 20 motif.

I know I am supposed to put this away and open it up for Christmas but I need some real life wearing experience to made a decision before Christmas

I just got a YG 10 motif last week and I am absolutely in love (my first VCA ). My doubt is whether I should get another 10 to link them, or exchange it for 20 motif. I work in a conservative office and big open neck is probably frown upon. My picture attached is my usual attire (maybe without the jacket most of the days but you get the idea). Is 10 motif too awkward dangling around there? Would a 20 motif look much better? I live in a cold climate so winter is super long, which I think also justify the 20 motif. I have a 2-year-old daughter to factor it in...

Another thing is, on top of practicality, will the clasp link of 2 10s be annoying? Did you regret getting 2 10s instead of one 20, or the other way around? Thank you in advance!

Hi there! I think the necklace is stunning on you - and as for business I think the perfect length to peak through a slightly unbuttoned shirt. Although I do not own 2 tens at the moment, maybe down the road, I wouldn't hesitate to keep what you have and buy another down the road. I've seen the ladies here add the 2 tens and it looks flawless.

I really love what you have already! Congrats!

So so so so pretty on you!!!! The perfect color for your skin tone. I am so sorry to hear about your unexpected "quezieness" with this pregnancy, I really want to say I am so glad you are feeling better and that you were able to brighten your day and the past few months with something that looks so beautiful on you. Congrats on the baby!!!

Your necklace looks perfect on your neck.
Just beautiful !! Add a 10 motif. The clasps and not noticeable and you will gain so much more by having the flexibility of wearing yours as a 10 or a 20 motif.

Oh my bougain - PERFECTION! 😍❤️😍
You wear it beautifully! I love my YG 5 motif. I wear it all the time. The YG 20 motif is number one on my 2015 VCA List. 😊

Bougainviller it looks awesome on you. I have it too and it works well with blouses.

Yes get another 10 or do as I did and get the 5 bracelet and it can be linked too. The clasps are not as noticeable if you wear your hair down.

Enjoy it
