Show me your Van Cleef and Arpels jewelry!

If I remember correctly there was a price increase for VCA last year. Does anyone know if an increase is expected this year? Thank you!

I would expect it. I don't know when though.
 
I enjoy catching glimpses of VCA out in the world. Here's a Magic pendant on a lady in the background of a Martha Stewart IG post. This is in a hair salon in LA.

(And doesn't Martha look fabulous? I love her "cat-thats-eaten-the-canary" smile.)

And whenever I see Rochelle Walensky (CDC Director) on the news, she is always wearing VCA! Either a Sweets necklace or Magic earrings. Go Rochelle!

That kinda looks like WG and onyx. Am I right?

I have been noticing more VCA out in the world as well! I have also recently noted that Alison Victoria (of HGTV's Windy City Rehab) sports a vintage Alhambra bracelet quite often, and it is a fixture in most of her bracelet stacks! I think it is either MOP or chalcedony; I am not sure which, but she rocks it!

Cool! I've seen the show but hadn't noticed her VCA before. Now I'll be on the watch for it.
 
My SA let me know that my letterwood necklace has been shortened. So it was authentic, no worries!! What a relief :appl:

And still waiting to pick these pretties up too… Video from my SA that I’ve rewatched a couple hundred times now… :lol:

Wow good news! And those earrings are going to be stunning on you!
 
I can’t believe it, but the vintage guilloche pendant became available online tonight and I went for it! My first piece. It seems so special, I couldn’t pass it up. I have been thinking about many pieces, but I kept coming around to this one. I can’t wait for it to arrive! Many pieces have been popping in and out of online inventory, so be sure to keep checking if you are looking for something!

Oh my gosh this is wonderful to hear!

Congratulations to you ❤️❣️

Beautiful! The guilloche is so eye-catching - can’t wait for your thoughts when you get it!!

And yes it really does seem like the online inventory shuffles in and out. Definitely worth keeping an eye on!
 
So VCA publishes these shorts on their various stones and some of them have some interesting little nuggets!!

Turquoise - looks like VCA uses Zachery processed stuff? Good for longevity if true! I doubt they’re using actual resin “stabilizers”.

MOP - sounds like white and gold MOP come from south sea pearl oysters (Pinctada maxima) and grey MOP comes from Tahitian pearl oysters (Pinctada margaritifera) -

VCA white gold is a palladium alloy and is rhodium plated -

Would palladium alloy white gold not have the yellow tone that I’m used to seeing with unplated white gold? Or would it just be less?

I’ve not seen any VCA WG without the plating but all the palladium-WG I’ve seen is pretty white! But not *rhodium white*, still!
 
Two new guilloche pieces in two days on here :bigsmile:

Finally got my bday present! VCA was having a bunch of delivery delays due to COVID, so it tooks about 6 weeks to come. But so worth it!!

That’s a long time to wait!! Happy late birthday lovedogs! :bigsmile:

Please share some action shots!! I think a pendant is perfect for this design, or earrings - bracelets and necklaces will scratch more. But a pendant should stay shiny for a looooong time ❤️
