The annual moment we have been waiting for all year has finally arrived… The 2023 VCA holiday pendant is here.
If you are new to the world of Van Cleef & Arpels, every year VCA releases a limited edition Holiday Pendant in the iconic Alhambra design. These exclusive pendants are made with a unique precious stone and feature a stunning diamond in the center.
This Year’s Pendant: Silver Obsidian set in Rose Gold
This year’s Holiday Pendant is made with Silver Obsidian stone and set in Rose Gold. With two different versions – one darker and one lighter to choose from.
Obsidian is a stone that requires extra care due to its brittle nature, making it susceptible to damage and breakage. However, if you’re accustomed to Van Cleef pieces, don’t be discouraged, since most of their stones share these characteristics. By following the care instructions, you can keep your obsidian jewelry in good condition.
Real Life Impressions
“From seeing it online you’d assume the pendant stone looks a lot like granite and is very dull, but it’s really shimmery in real life, the stone almost sparkles as much as the diamond! Additionally, the silver’s color contrast catches the light and produces a rainbow effect. So before you make up your mind about this pendant, I’d recommend checking it out in person because the photos can be misleading.”
Some of the Van Cleef & Arpels Holiday Pendants from this year and previous ones are available on Fashionphile and definitely worth checking out if you missed the limited edition necklace drops.
