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 !

This makes so much sense.
No wonder this new bracelet has a vintage vibe.
It’s much nicer in person. Pretty by itself.
 
texasgirliegirl I know what you mean. It's like combining two genre together. Thank you for the feeback. I always look at Natalie j pics on IG, I love how she could pull any stack, ugh...I am jelly :heart::p
I know what you mean.
This is just a situation where i feel that more is not more.
The diamond perlee clover bracelet is such a fabulous bracelet. Paired with the perles ‘d’or is lovely and allows the stacking vibe without detracting from the design.
Sometimes I worry that all the stacking makes more a statement about “look what I have” vs looking beautiful, balanced and tasteful.
You have such a well edited aesthetic/ philosophy that the VCA plus two loved in two different golds ust doesn’t seem to fit.
I mean no offense to those who love this loo.
When worn with confidence I believe that anybody can pull off just about anything.:smile:
 
@Rami00 I think you could definitely pull off the stack in your picture, but agree with TGG that the Perlee clover and Perlee d'Or would go together even better. I considered getting both the Perlees in RG and think the two are a match made in heaven!

Would you consider getting both Perlees as a stack and maybe alternating with the Loves stack every few weeks or months for a different look? As a bonus the Perlee are so easy to take off you could wear them singly as well for even more variety.

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 :confused1:

Thank you for the feedback :flowers::heart:

I think something is off too. Perhaps I am used to your two Loves together and the classic simplicity of that look but the VCA bracelet seems to have a different vibe. VCA’s white gold is much brighter than the love bracelet so to me it looks like three different shades of gold. I stack my VCA perlee clover with my rose gold Love bracelet and often wonder if it is too much. Between the clovers and the screw patterns I am not sure. It always looks great on everyone else but I think it can look busy on me.

If only money few on trees! I would also definitely get ALL of the perlee bracelets- they are all so beautiful [emoji7]
 
I spoke with my SA today and was informed that the RG sweets will be discontinued. I’m not sure if this applies for other RG alhambra pieces as well as I was specifically asking about the earstuds.

Oh no! Does this apply to the bracelets? the Carnelian sweet is in RG and I've been thinking about it. If it is being discontinued, I think its best to bite the proverbial bullet and get it.

that’s strange! i thought it was quite popular, isn’t the heart sweet in RG? maybe they will just replace it with yellow gold but keep the styles? or do u mean the all gold pieces?
