Can I be excited here!???
My wonderful, fabulous, darling SA (to whom I was introduced by my wonderful, fabulous, darling PS friends ) just got hold of a pair of the mini MOP Rose de Noel earrings. We all know how impossible it is to find basically everything right now... She warned me that getting a pair might take six to nine months - but said she’d see what she might be able to poke up. I fully expected to wait at a year if needed. It took her... Exactly one week.
Between my Perlee earlier this year, a preloved piece from a dear friend that I haven’t mentioned here yet because I haven’t taken any photos worthy of sharing, and these earrings... I have to say, I’ve had a year of VCA dreams. Cliched and overused and trite as this word is - I do really feel very very blessed right now
The frivole is here. The pictures won't be great, I am currently sporting a gorgeous rash on my neck . I will be walking around the house like Lady Macbeth this week; out, out, damned spot. But below the rash we have this:
Maybe I need some kind of chic scarf to wrap around my neck. In the meantime I have slathered the area with calamine lotion, cortisone and antibiotic cream. Just picture me here, the wound care nurse at work:
The only thing anyone’s going to be looking at is your beautiful shiny sparkly new pendant, I promise!

Oh those look fabulous on you and I agree are a perfect fit on your ear lobes. I want a pair of those (without the diamonds in the petals) but the price tag is more than I feel comfortable spending. I have been looking on the pre-loved market but haven't found any and I have a feeling if I do they won't be priced much below retail. Oh well. Sometimes you just have to keep admiring things from afar.
Love the three flowers matched with the larger frivole on your ears. So sweet and charming. FYI. I saw a frivole BTF ring on Fashionphile, but it's a size 4.5 Not sure if that would fit you.
I just saw these polished mini frivoles and thought of you, @adlgel! I wasn't sure if you were looking for yg or wg, and it doesn't appear to include the certificate (which I realize could be a dealbreaker), but I wanted to send the link along in any case!

Although the more that I think about it, I’d probably rather buy direct from VCA at full price than save only $100 and not have the certificate, box, and absolute guarantee of authenticity. Not sure what my discount threshold is to make buying pre-owned worth it but I guess I’ve realized $100 is not it.
Sheesh; I hadn't even looked at that... my apologies! (Can you tell that I posted the link before enjoying my obligatory cup of coffee?!) That discount would have me running straight to VCA to purchase them directly! The discounts are considerably greater for the pave styles, but if these earrings are of any interest to you it may be worth watching them... if they stick around long enough they will be discounted further. I am so sorry that I didn't pay more attention to the retail price when I posted the link this morning!
The lovely VCA PSers will probably remember @diamondseeker2006's beautiful and nearly-impossible-to-get-hold-of lapis 50th anniversary bracelet. Hers was a journey of friendship and timing, with a side of fabulous luck - here's her original thread
A little Van Cleef and Arpels dream come true!!
A very sweet friend here knew I loved the VCA Alhambra lapis yg pave bracelet, and when she learned that there was one available one left in the Paris boutique, she helped connect me with her SA! I never dreamed I'd get this piece, because it was produced on a limited basis for the 50th...www.pricescope.com
A few months ago she decided to part with this piece and I was SO thrilled to be able to give it a forever home!!! Mine, it turns out, was also a very happy journey of friendship and timing and fabulous luck
Just a handful more photos of this incredibly special memento to add to the pictures DS has shared already because it's too darn pretty to resist
And a quick pic of how I've been wearing it Mostly just around the house - It's too long for me at the moment; going to NYC is on the To Do list.
@yssie you always take the most beautiful photos, I feel like I’m browsing a high end magazine!
The lapis positively glows on your skin, absolutely stunning!

I could not be happier to have this gorgeous piece go to a dear friend! It was a joy for me to have the chance to get this piece (thanks to another dear PS friend), and I will always treasure the memory!!! But in reality, I know I look best in white metals, and when faced with needing to buy more VCA yellow gold to go with the bracelet, I ultimately decided it was best to rehome the bracelet rather than to buy additional pieces that were not my top choices. @yssie has an incredible jewelry collection including VCA, so the bracelet it a worthy piece for her to own and enjoy for years to come! I am a lot older, so I really need to consider each piece I buy and determine if it is something I will really wear at this point! And I now have the pleasure of seeing the bracelet in pictures from time to time when @yssie posts!!!
