Show me your Van Cleef and Arpels jewelry!

[m-2-b]

I'm glad I could finally contribute something to this thread before the year's end--it's been too long since my last VCA piece!

You two are great VCA enablers, @yssie and @diamondseeker2006 !!!

I got pushed over the edge when you tried it on for me recently @yssie! How could I resist when it looked sooo good on you, too?! You are THE perfect VCA model!!!

Thank you so much, @Rubies-R-Me ! I will try to post pics on how it can be worn in multiple ways for those interested!

Ending the year on a high note with my VCA Magic Alhambra long pave pendant!

So beautiful! What a way to end the year! I hope you get to wear it at many holiday gatherings. I can imagine you toasting in the new year with a glass of Champagne and this beauty sparkling brightly around your neck. Cheers!

Everything she said @m-2-b

Agreed! Everything @yssie said!!

 

[m-2-b]

Thanks, @RunningwithScissors !

I live a pretty low key lifestyle, especially since COVID has been around! However, I do plan on trying to use it as much as possible due cost per wear!

 

[m-2-b]

Hi, @Phoenix !

Thanks for indulging me with all of your MA pave/GMOP pendant pics! You always have such exquisite taste in jewelry!

 

[bling_dream19]

This is spectacular on you!! This will look gorgeous on you I can't wait to see the different arrangements. I love versatile pieces!

 

[m-2-b]

Thanks for sharing in my excitement, @bling_dream19 !

More pics coming right up!

There is a definite learning curve involved trying to put the pendant on when shortened! @diamondseeker2006 can attest to that since she has the special WG onyx MA pendant! They make it look so easy on IG!

Also, I have seen pics of others wearing this pendant wrapped around the wrist as a bracelet!

Which is your fave way of wearing it?

I like to wear it longer since it is the easiest way to put on and take off!

How about you, @Phoenix since you have had your GMOP SO pendant for a while?

MCL you are gorgeous and your pave VCA pieces look absolutely stunning on you. Congratulations on completing this amazing collection. You are the perfect model.

Love your modelling shot.

I wear my long pendant doubled up. I am too short to wear it long. It is quite fiddly, however; and am not the most patient of people. So I find the single-chain pendant suits me best. I initially fell in love with the magic pendant with the bail, ie. yours. But practicality took over, haha.

Thank you for sharing your excitement with us You look beautiful and radiant in the modeling shot - the whole collection just flows and is effortlessly glamorous! Thank you for showing the different arrangements - the lariat style is probably my favorite. Ok perfect vacation piece !! Wear one way during the day and another way at night! Have lots of blingy fun wearing your beauties

I seriously can’t think of a single way to improve this ensemble

Forget trying to sneak a bling peek on the street - I would be outright gawking

So... PSers got their VCA 2022 lists ready to send to fairy godmothers yet?

Here's my finally final. Totally inspired by @hathalove's Cartier stack. And totally and shamelessly copying eternallove4bag's Perlee lineup on the other forum. We'll see what happens and what doesn't. I have a feeling I'll get sidetracked before the BTF, I keep going back to the pics of the MOP Hellebore earrings that my SA sent me that I shouldn't be wanting but kind of sort of do anyway...

The Tiffany HW - I'm going to see if I can't scrounge that up preloved. Tiffany tends to hold value so poorly compared to VCA, I really don't want to pay retail.

This made me laugh!! I shared a vid of myself trying to get a pearl into a net pendant pretty recently... Learning curve is about right - and they made it look easy on IG too I didn't actually try the Magic on doubled when I went in a few months ago but I can definitely see how that gets, um, complicated

I am going to VCA tomorrow for my birthday and have my fingers crossed for a specific piece. I am really hoping to share pics here if they have it and if I get it as a bday gift.

Now there's a teaser post!

 

[OdetteOdile]

This is on my wish list for 2022. I need to try it on in person and see how I feel about the yellow gold against my skin tone. I love mother of pearl, and I think I would really enjoy looking down and seeing it on my wrist. I also love the single motif YGMOP necklace, and hope to have that one day too.

 

[lovedogs]

Now there's a teaser post!

Sorry!! I'm nervous they wont have it or I wont like it. Promise to update tomorrow!

I'm having a big birthday next month - 60. I ordered a large frivole pendant, but it just looked ridiculous on me, way too big, way too long. So I went to the VCA store to exchange it. I got this necklace instead.

Gorgeous. You and the agate.

Thank you @yssie! I forgot to mention that it was agate! They had it in a display case, along with a bracelet (future wish lol). They really didn't have a lot in stock. No Alhambra vintage earrings, no small frivole diamond earrings. But I saw this necklace in the case and that was that, even though it cost more. They did have beautiful between the finger rings like the one @Phoenix has. Of course they were too small on me!

@yssie love your 2022 list. You have 4 of the items I have on my VCA list (all bracelets/bangles). I ordered the signature bangle and waiting for it to arrive. I think my next one will be the 1 row diamond Perlee bangle. Will you be stacking the bangles with your clover?
