VCA ~ Van Cleef Arpels Discussion thread!

I've tried the 6-motif necklace a few times and although I absolutely love it, I fear that it may wear me rather than me wearing it, IYKWIM. I am very small and small-boned too, so this looks a little too big on me. I think also it might restrict neckline options. So, I've decided that the Magic pendant, although on the larger side, suits me better.

My thinking is that if you are used to the 10-motif and find that it works on you, I'd stick to that.

Others on here, however, have the 6-motif and it looks AMAZING on them!! I really think it varies from individual to individual. If I were you, I'd go and try it a few times, with different outfits and see how it looks and how you feel.

Good luck deciding and come back and post pics afterwards!

I am small but I don’t think I am small boned so I think it works fine on me but I can totally see what you mean.
I like the advice on trying it on with a few more outfits. Which I could rent one!
I will definitely post once I decide. Thanks for the advice.

This looks incredible on you!!

Thank you!

Don't know if this is the right place for this, but I know a lot of people have expressed interest in the VCA 6 Motif magic necklaces. eBay seller tetianausa is currently selling two, as well as several other VCA items.

All are very high priced.

At least one--the TE 5-motif Alhambra bracelet is FAKE--haven't looked at the others. But the fact one is fake eads me to believe the other purportedly authentic "VCA," items she's selling are counterfeit as well.

In case anyone is tempted, please be careful.

I only buy from the VCA store...I am afraid of being ripped off since I suck at telling fakes of any kind. Thanks for the warning.

You'll know when you know. I think I don't pick VCA... VCA picks me. lol. If you are leaning towards it... that feeling will stay with you until you commit to it... Take your time... and again... you'll know.

LOL! [emoji8]

The hunt has started and ended. [emoji28] They are holding what is allegedly the last letterwood necklace in the US for me. It’s a 20 motif. I didn’t care whether it was a 20 or two 10s.

It’s a very warm and feminine combo. I considered it when my SA mentioned last year that VCA was running out and would stop producing, but got sidetracked with some other purchases. [emoji16] Then I heard a voice shouting in the back of my head that I’d better decide ASAP, so I pounced.

Just curious--did you buy the LE 20-motif?

I too inquired and my SA said there were a few around . . .

And if I may chime in, you look amazing in it!

Aw, thank you!!! [emoji8][emoji8][emoji8]

Maybe 10s or Magic Pendant. I know other stores that have none at all.

Sometimes I go in and visit "my," jewelry. It helps to visit, wait a while and see how you feel.
It's too expensive to be an impulse purchase; especially if you think you'll regret it in the morning!

been there, done that... in jewelry and in relationships

I think if that was true, then they would still be able to produce it?

Ok so.... now you have me thinking about PG/letterwood! It is gorgeous. It seems that they are still available online? I am in Canada but they seem to be available on both the US and Canadian websites.

Hi!
Is the Alhambra Letter wood being discontinued?

I tried to purchase it online, but it doesn't let you!

When an item has very limited availability it will sometimes be on the website but it may or may not be available for purchase. You will have to see if your sales associate can locate one for you. Good luck!

Thanks! Are they going to stop making it?
