VCA ~ Van Cleef Arpels Discussion thread!

[texasgirliegirl]

TGG, are you going to wear them, too? They look wonderful on you!

They are cute earrings but I really do think that I "need" the small size.....
It makes me feel happy knowing that my precious girls will wear the baby version of the pair that I wear. I already wear the large yg and the pave pair often, especially during the Spring/Summer. Someday I can perhaps give the small pair to my eldest and the sweets to my youngest....
I am finding more ways to justify more VCA....yikes.

Am in Paris and stopped in at VCA Printemps to try on the yg pave frivole.

I love them as much as I thought I would , now just have to figure out who is going to pay for them!

I'm pretty certain that Martha MacCallum was wearing the mini Frivoles last night on Fox News. Did anyone else notice? I tried to take a picture to share, but her hair often obstructed the view of the earrings. Every now and then her hair would move on one side and I could get a glimpse. I got really close to the television to try to get a better look. My DH thought I was nuts! The earrings looked pretty but small (when I could see them), but she balanced it out with a more substantial necklace so the overall effect was nice. Seems Ms. MacCallum is a VCA fan just like us! She has worn the pave Frivoles several times in the past.

Sbelle, I'm not sure which makes me more jealous--how beautiful the earrings look on you or the fact that you are currently in Paris! Lol.

C'est Magnifique!!! Curious how you find they compare with the wg pave frivoles?

Hi all - I have no idea where to post this but I thought I would share here. I had the idea to buy a magic long pendant in onyx because of its versatility. Not only can it be worn as suggested on a long chain or doubled up on a short chain, I have found it's also possible to attach the pendant to the clasp and change the look of a 10 motif necklace from being circular to a soft V. I was worried it was over the top clovers but it's actually not obnoxious. It creates a bit of a dressier look which I like and now works well with v-neck tops. I think many of you here have these two pieces so if you want to try, here's a pic of the concoction from my IG.

I think that perhaps you need to add a ring so that you will have 30 clovers to commemorate the 30 years you have shared....
(I can justify just about anything when it comes to VCA!)

Brilliant idea.

What a fantastic idea and now I "need" a magic necklace. This site is so dangerous -- VCA should pay for free advertising.

Oh wow!! I really like this a lot.
Do you feel that the clasp is strong enough to support the pendant?
I can try this with my malachite pieces.

I am so glad you posted this here as well! It is such a beautiful idea. Do you want to share on this thread who you got the idea from? I think that historical tidbit makes the beautiful look even more special.

LOL. Danger! Danger!

I do TGG. I think the safer way to do it is to hook the little loop from the necklace first and then hook the larger pendant on second. If you do it the other way around, I feel it's a bit unsafer. It's perhaps psychological...but that's the way I do it.

Hi Nicole - I've always liked the idea of playing around with VCA pieces. There is a gal on Instagram who is especially good at it and I think she participates here on TPF as Birkin10600.

For anyone that's interested, I also have a fantastically creative idea to wear a 10 station necklace and the magic bracelet. The bracelet is the one that has different size clovers and a large MOP clover hanging from it. I almost bought the bracelet to execute my idea and am still contemplating it.

TGG, I can honestly see how the mini frivoles would feel too small especially going from large frivoles to these. I have had them for a few weeks now and I get more compliments on these earrings than any other earring I have worn. But more importantly I really love the ease of them and they are just simply hassle free. TGG, I am so glad you are going for the small frivole. I may be wrong, but I do feel the small are more you style just based on what I have read on this forum

Heidi Davis: that is too funny, that is something I just did... I noticed the other day that Lisa Vanderpump was wearing the pave Cosmos (yes please don't judge my choice of television shows) I think they were the large. I couldn't stop staring at the television and getting up close to the television just like you, but luckily I was alone

What a great idea! I am going to have to try this!! Than you for sharing and I'm sure it looks absolutely stunning on you!!

MYH, I am getting all of the gorgeous postings confused! Sorry, I had to do some back-reading to figure out my mistake! It was in fact birkin10600 who had originally posted that Grace Kelly had worn her necklace in the style that you shared with us with the magic pendant clipped to the 10 station. It is so beautiful and I think that makes it even more special [emoji173]️

Sbelle! Those are gorgeous. I am trying to decide if I should get those even though I already have the WG pave frivole, Large YG and Small YG.
It is such an awesome earring and looks beautiful on you!
