Just wanted to say that this is officially my new favorite thread. Everyone’s amazing pieces are TDF! Just stunning!!

Just curious... now that you’ve amassed quite an impressive collection of VCA pieces and the SA’s must know you well enough, have they been offering champagne?

I sure would hope so!

Haha, they've offered me all kinds of things now...let's see... champagne (when I was a drinker), tea, macarons, dim sums, artisan cookies & chocolate etc...And they send me flowers and champagne and chocolate for my b'day and for Christmas. I guess with the high mark-up that they charge, you're allowed a little indulgence here and there, lol.

Hehehe! They do. They send flowers, greeting cards, sometimes special gifts for you. Thank you!

@MerLine The Lapis Magic is the best - wearable lapis piece I can think of. I love the colour...

Somehow I never see the coloured Alhambras in this town. Thank you for demonstrating them in use...

I might just understand how one of these is never enough!

OMG!! I LOVE every single item in this post, but particularly the lapis pieces and the blue electric Birkin. Swooooooooon!!

Wishing you happy holidays too.

Wish I'd discovered VCA when lapis was less difficult to procure.

Thank you. It's my pleasure. VCA rested the lapis from alhambra line for now, due to the disruption of their supply. The lapis they prefer is from Afganistan, supposedly the source of the highest quality stone in the world. The current geopolitics in Afghanistan make it difficult for them to source the top quality material in large quantities, thus they use it sparingly and use them for high jewelry.

Thank you so much for your kind comment. Especially comment coming from you, a gorgeous lady with impeccable taste. I love lapis, its vivid intense color blue that matches my bleu electrique B. Too bad it's so difficult to find lapis pieces now. The magic alhambra one I had was an old piece from the 90's and the holiday pendant from year 2010 limited edition.

 

[MerLine]

WOW. WOW. WOW.

Thank you LLJsmom. I am falling down the VCA vortex faster than the orange slippery slope! Help me! Lol

 

[Phoenix]

My latest acquisition from VCA - should have been my first...don't know what took me so long to get this timeless piece.



Here with the rest of the family (well, minus the 2018 holiday pendant which has gone in for repair), resting on the Christmas wreath sent by Van Cleef.

Did you get the magic lapis pendant from the secondhand market? I'd love to get one but I don't even know where from.

I asked my SA to see if she could somehow get me the 2010 holiday pendant. But I think it's futile!

Yes, from reputable reseller in London. I was a little late when lapis was released.

Thank you for the contact details of the reseller too.

I realized I forgot to post a pic of the Frivole BtF ring I bought a few months ago. I was debating between the pave and the regular gold, and the regular gold won by a landslide for me. I only wished hubby was there with me because I could have proven that I don’t always pick the more expensive item
