VCA ~ Van Cleef Arpels Discussion thread!

PhoenixH~The Perlee Clover looks amazing on you. I own the YG Perlee Clover and I love it like the day I purchased it in early 2014 (maybe 2013). It is super comfortable and easy to wear. I usually wear it with my perlee bangle and my YG 4 diamond Love bracelet. I think it is a very versatile piece. I have worn it casually and also to many weddings, etc. It is such a beautiful piece of jewelry and fun to wear. As far as it being an investment I would not say that about my clover Perlee since the price has gone down since I purchased it. I think when I purchased it gold was at an all time high. A few years later there was a price adjustment (lowered) on many pieces. It is fine with me as I do not ever plan to sell it and I have totally enjoyed every minute of owning it! Here is a photo after I purchased my 5 motif turquoise last August. I may have already posted it on another thread. I think you will be very happy with your purchase if and when you decide to add the Pave Clover to your collection in YG.

You are a bad enabler
I have few items on my list, sigh....but I really love this one. Are you gonna do it? Value and worth will change from person to person, if you tried and loved it... that's all it matters. I would love to hear from people who own it too.

What other items do you have on your wish list? Would love to hear them or pictures if any. ☺️
I'm still thinking about it and since we do not have price increase news over where I am at yet, I can take my time (I hope! )

View attachment 3830454 Tried these on at the boutique a couple weeks back. I'm a YG girl for sure. Now where's my money tree??
For those of you who own this, is it easy and comfortable to wear and do you find it a versatile piece and a good investment? It will be my biggest VCA purchase and it's making me nervous lol

I think you'll get a ton of wear out of it so to me that would make it a good investment. I agree with Kimber, it's very comfortable to wear. Looks great on its own or stacked... how do you plan to wear it? [emoji6]

If I did my math correctly, that is an 11.8% increase [emoji15]

So it's a 6% plus increase???

I couldn't believe it either, HADASSA! If it was a 6% increase on the item I want, I could have just let it go. But since it was so much more, I am taking the plunge since I wanted the pendant anyway. Sigh.

I have the Vintage Alabama pendant in carnelian on my wish list for the longest time, and I was planning to get it in December. I called the South Coast Plaza store to confirm the price increase, and it is true. So, the pendant I want is going from $2550 to $2850. I am going to buy it, but I will not open it until December.
Just wanted to share a very small piece of information.

Hi, Riquita, do you know the new price for Frivole earrings? I wonder whether Frivole collection also increases?

I have a question! I was stalking older VCA threads here and read how some users customize their items - what do PFers things about this? I read a thread where 3 motif earrings were shortened and the extra clovers made into studs, and another where the magic charm from the magicbAlhambra bracelet was removed to make a long pendant (chain supplied by VCA) but the user's own jeweller made the bale. Is this common? I feel like doing this now for more "value" since I could make a long and short pendant necklace from the two charms hanging from the magic Alhambra 5 motif bracelet.... thoughts anymore? Would VCA make these customizations fo me? Or would it be a private/personal jeweller hat would have to do it? Hmmm so many choices and I don't even own one piece of VCA yet!!
