Show me your Van Cleef and Arpels jewelry!

Honestly, I don't think I will wear them much. I don't get a lot of use out of my VCA earrings anymore....I normally just wear my diamond studs nowadays. VCA earrings are just so beautiful! But I want to stop buying things I won't get a lot of wear out of. Thank you, this helped a lot.

No problem! VCA is gorgeous but I also have to temper my wants because otherwise I’d spend all my money on pieces that don’t really fit my lifestyle. I would rather save up for unbranded pieces that I will wear ad nauseam (for example, perhaps a tennis necklace) instead of beautiful pieces I don’t wear too often (either because they’re uncomfortable, need babying, or are too specific an aesthetic).
 
I have a bonafide wishlist item now. The white MOP magic pendant! It can be worn in so many ways and it really suited my “scale”

I just upgraded my e-ring so it’ll be…a while :lol: but now I know what to pine and save for!

The SA showed me how to wear it with the bracelet attached…the bracelet was pretty but it felt less “me”

Other fun pretties, runners up. I liked the color of the white / YG combo best. But the grey MOP/rg combo was dreamy…it just got lost on me color-wise. Chalcedony was also gorgeous but I’m trying build out my YG pieces now

The magic is a fantastic size on you and I'm loving the warmer YG :love:

Did you like the length on you? I believe VCA will extend up to 2" without drama, if you'd prefer it a touch longer, but it looks great as-is in those photos ❤️

Ahhh thank you! I’m shocked at how much I fell in love

I actually loved the length, but lengthening 2 inches would make the double wrap of the chain more comfy for sure. Would allow more flexibility
 
I went to VCA today...some try on pics:

4.54 cushion cut emerald (around 270k USD)

4 ct D / VVS2 emerald cut center stone with baguette diamonds (around 380k USD)
IMG_0990.jpg

29ct old mine cut, unsure what color & clarity but it was faint yellow & there were a couple of visible black inclusions. It was gorgeous though, it was a beautiful butter color and sparkled SO much!!

And one of my SOs that came in!
I might pass on this SO. I recently sold my white gold 6 motif, and I'm honestly not loving the 6 motif style anymore :cry2: I ordered it a year ago when I was really into it!

@glitterbomb, thank you for taking the time to post these pics, beautiful eye candy and makes me feel like I went to VCA too lol! I enjoy seeing rare diamonds like the 29 carat OMC. Makes me wonder about its history. I wonder if it's the largest antique stone on record!

Oh wow, Cerulean, this piece of gorgeous on you! So dreamy!!! :love:
 
Has anyone here had positive confirmation re the Guilloche collection in WG? Wondering if I need to start saving my pennies…
 
And another question - anyone know anything about the new Perlee pieces!?
 
Another try on. Why oh why do the 20s look so good. I just can’t get my head around paying that much though - even at the “cheaper” mother of pearl price ;)2

what are everyone’s thoughts on 10s versus 20s?701D227B-00D9-423D-AEFE-894FA011A7C0.jpeg

If you would ever wear it long, then 20. It’s a nice length on you long ::)

If you’d always double it up, then 10. Since you said you don’t care to stack necklaces - and the twenty doubled up does look like two necklaces stacked.
 
Very disappointing to see these (except for the lapis pendant). Whoever is designing that line needs to go bye-bye. Awful!

We all know how this goes. They’ve made eleven-point-five lapis pendants total, nine of which are already spoken for, and the tenth will go to a lucky rando who happens to ask at the exact right time, and everyone else will be left to fight over the last half pendant. And meanwhilst more stock will go into ordering pause to reserve manufacturing time and effort for gobs of those rings that noone’s going to want :rolleyes:

Sorry I should have been clearer re “stacking”. I love a double and triple strand look but I don’t like wearing two totally different necklaces together.

Clear win for the twenty then! Freedom to wear a bunch of ways! :bigsmile:

Typical- that’s the very piece I would have gone for! Why do they discontinue the classy things, like the Perlee variation ring, which I’ve been coveting for years? Then bring out these, no doubt hideously expensive items??? Makes no sense :confused:

Oh I was all about the perlee variation ring! I was so disappointed when it was discontinued. I agree these designs especially the five row are not visually appealing to me at all and seem like they’d be awkward to wear.
 
Why do I feel like they designed this collection as such so they can minimize the size and amount of non-diamond gems needed?

Idk what it is, but it is not giving me the feelings I usually have about VCA pieces. I usually love Perlee (with the exception of the narrower clover bracelet), but these pieces aren’t doing it for me.
