VCA ~ Van Cleef Arpels Discussion thread!

[lasttotheparty]

I posted as a separate thread, but thought I may get more feedback just responding to this one. Asked admin to delete the other one.

I’ve been lurking on this forum for awhile now, plotting my first VCA.

I am Asian with medium complexion and I wear a lot of black at work. So far, I only own white gold/platinum and rose gold jewelry.

I prefer low maintenance jewelry, something that isn’t too delicate that I can put on and forget about.

I’ve narrowed it down to a few of pieces, but I don’t know which to invest in first. I would appreciate your feedback on what would looks best with my skin tone/hair color and what pieces are great starter pieces. I am looking for a necklace and earring “set.”

- YG Onyx Vintage Alhambra Earclips
- YG Onyx Vintage Alhambra Pendant
- YG Onyx Vintage Alhambra 10 motif Neckace
- YG MOP Magic Two Motif Earrings
- YG MOP Vintage Alhambra Pendant

Many thanks!

Pure Alhambra comes in onyx and mop and can be left on 24\7 due to the coating. Pave and the all gold pieces can also be worn without worry.

Since you said you are looking for a set for more formal occasion, I think either onyx earclips+10motif necklace or MOP 2motif earrings+pendant will be good choice. Now I’m terms of which set, I think you need to consider 1) do you like black on black? As you wear a lot of black, will onyx be too boring for you or you actually like the formal feel of all black? 2) are you an earring person or a necklace person? That is, do you want to showcase your earrings more or necklace more when you pick your jewelry.

Hope it helps!

Happy Halloween my VCA family!
I have a question for you, as I am working on my next target. Yes, I take pis and look at it time to time. Is it me or the YG love bracelet look out of place in this stack

Thank you for the feedback

I don't think it looks out of place at all, especially seeing as how the rings you're wearing are yg.

@klynneann thank you babe. Maybe I am over thinking it.

Hi Rami,
I think it looks very good, not out of place at all.
I take photos as well before some purchases...how did we survive before camera phones!!

Not out of place but 3 is maybe too many? Especially since the Perlee is wider than Love. That’s why I ended up getting the Perlee d’or for stacking lol.. [emoji6][emoji8]

Rami, can you play around with it and stack the YG LOVE on the end instead of the middle? Maybe the YG is interrupting the flow of the WG from the PC to the WG LOVE

Hi Rami!!
It does not look one bit out of place in the stack. I think its something about the perlee being wider than the love that could be making you feel that way. Overall it looks good to me. I like the potential stack

I am sure that many of you received the latest mailing on the Perlee collection , but for those who didn’t I wanted to share this interesting information from the brochure .

The latest pearls of gold 5 row bracelet is based on a design from 1948.

The brochure says:
“VCA has been using gold beads in its creations since the 1920’s. In 1948 they multiplied to form the necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and watches in the Couscous collection , inspired by a voyage to Morocco by the Arpels family.”

So interesting !

I saw that to, and I slso found it interesting. Part of the fun for me when I consider a new luxury item is doing the research and learning everything possible about what I am considering. [emoji4]
So interesting !

Sbelle - when I replied to your post,my reply ended up in the text of your post. The tPF iPad app has been a pain for me since last weekend.

I prefer the Perlee bracelet paired with VCA.
The love is industrial looking imo. It’s a nice bracelet but I prefer it paired with another love or a JUC.
