VCA ~ Van Cleef Arpels Discussion thread!

Thank you, Lisa! I think they're going to be perfect. Love your picture!

Does anyone have a picture of themselves wearing the small Perlee hoops? I just ordered a pair, but I've never seen them being worn.

These hoops are the perfect size.

 

[Cavalier Girl]

Thank you, TGG. I think you're right about the size.

lisawhit and texasgirliegirl -- I LOVE the perlee hoops ! Yikes this forum is enabling. Now I want them too!

By the way, when it comes to the small versus large frivole earrings, I find, on me at least, that the small ones go better with my vintage alhambra necklaces and others, whereas the large earrings seem better worn alone. Just a little more justification for having both!

The perlee hoops are great earrings...the only hoops I ever wear. Not too large nor too small.
I love all sizes of the frivole earrings ....which is getting me into trouble. While I agree that the small is similar to the vintage Alhambra in size I actually like that the large are larger when paired with the vintage Alhambra collection.
Several years when I purchased the frivole multi station necklace I felt that the larger yg pair looked best when paired with the necklace.
I can easily make an argument for either size...
They are all so pretty and flattering!

TGG, I'm really hoping I love my new hoops. I'm of an age that larger ones look as though I'm trying a bit too hard. I had a large pair of 18k Chanel camellia hoops that I loved, but stopped wearing for that very reason. They now reside with a dear friend.

Oops, forgot to ask. Did you buy the mini Frivoles? I've been eying those, too.

You will love them.
KImber has them too. We should encourage her to post a photo because they look great on her.

Yes!
I am planning to give them to one of my daughters.

I agree, you really can't go wrong! I like the Alhambra for a pair you can wear "everyday" or in more casual situations, whereas the Frivole are more "WOW" in my opinion.

ITA!!!

amazing!!! really gorgeous.

I get my bracelet tomorrow ladies! I am excited and hope it fits in perfectly with all of my other pieces!
And yes I am already planning my next piece too.

I had a weird though of replacing my wedding ring and E ring with the Clover Perlee band. Any thoughts on that?

You will love the perlee hoops, CG! I wear mine a lot. There's something about the gold "pearls" that make them so unique and flattering. I'm so glad that I purchased mine. Pictures don't show their real beauty.
