Cartier vs Van Cleef & Arpels | Which do I recommend?

[@tracysyt]

Thanks for the comparison, very nice video!💖 I was into bag previously but I'm more into jewellery lately, appreciate the beauty of jewellery so much. I personally have more bias on VCA, in fact my first jewellery piece was from VCA (I chose the rose gold sweet alhambra pendant)💛 And now, I'm definitely saving up for Cartier pieces!!

[@NewYorkSensation]

Thank you for watching! 💗 That is a great first piece! You can’t go wrong with either brand!! 😍

[@KTkryst]

Cartier classic love bracelet and van cleef and arpels guilloche necklace is comfortable daily wear. I wear them 24/7 for a year now.

[@StephanieNelson_SN]

I love jewelry too. I just don’t have much lol. I will be buying Cartier first though then maybe VCA. Love them both ❤️

[@NewYorkSensation]

Yes definitely recommend Cartier as a first choice!! 💗💗

[@LNatureblush]

Very great comparison. Thanks so much for your realistic approach on things. Love! Definitely a Cartier lover. Also love the Tiffany T collection since it is a bit similar to Cartier - streamline, structured, and minimal line. I think it works well with suits or casual outfits. But love the VCA as well! You have a gorgeous collection and love your personality!

[@NewYorkSensation]

Yes I like the Tiffany t diamond and MOP bracelet! It’s gorgeous! Thank you so much for watching!! ❤️❤️

[@helloxluxury]

Great informative video ❤️ I love both and would love to add a VC&A to my collection one day! The vintage Alhambra necklace looks so elegant on you 😍✨

[@NewYorkSensation]

Thank you so much! ❤️❤️

[@AYoung-kp4my]

Love and have both. I have to say I really like sooo much but know I have to be specific about my selections. My selections with Cartier were so lovey with no stress. VCA on the other hand was a bit stressful as the gemstones are so beautiful but delicate. Im the type that likes to keep my jewelry on ALL the time as I live a very active lifestyle. I purchased the Malachite vintage pendant from VCA as it is gorge. Bottom line it gave me so much anxiety that I returned it and got the Guilloche vintage pendant. Loveeee it!

[@heidigrunauer7627]

Hii, I personally prefer jewelry over bags too, I have so many items on my wishlist. I currently own the love ring & bracelet, and I just had a birthday so I'm deciding between the small or regular juste un clou (so hard!!). I love the thickness of the juste un clou, but I do like to stack jewelry, so I have a little fear whether it would look kind of off. Also, I am someone who loves Cartier, because I adore that "industrial" and bold look :)

[@NewYorkSensation]

Happy belated birthday!! 💗💗 totally understand the decision between the thick and thin juc! I was deciding between the two before purchasing the thin with diamonds :) Cartier is definitely more of an industrial look vs VCA is more dainty!

[@notreallyhome]

always love your vids, especially w/jewelry! I think a more equal comparison would be the vca all gold bangle (think it's 6K or same as love now) but now you have me wondering what the gram weight is of each piece! there is def more workmanship w/vca so would have to add that! that would be a great video actually! also, would love a video on jewelry storage! I just bought the trinty cord but thinking could be used as bracelet or on a necklace, would have to remove cord entirely but if one like's dainty and already has necklaces. why not! still thinking of getting trinty ring instead, 10 days left to decide, love trinty bracelet over love, def in minority here! xx

[@NewYorkSensation]

Thank you so much!! 💗💗 Yes that one retails for the old love price (6300)! I am curious about the gold weight as well 🤔 I know Cartier is around 30g but unsure about perlee. Though by design perlee signature bangle looks less dense? I’ve never tried it on to see how it actually feels but love looks thicker? That would be a cute idea especially if you love dainty pieces! 😍

[@ayafaridyoussef5370]

Love both of them 😍😍😍 the question of getting which first is always in my mind 😁 I was thinking of VCA first as it seems taking me like forever to save for the cartier 😂 specially that I am a person who always stresses afraid buying something fake so I am considering buying retail

[@NewYorkSensation]

Yes the price point is definitely vastly different for the bracelets! You can’t go wrong with either one though :)

[@whogivesaluxe_yt]

VCA is next on my list! And I hope the it’s growing on you because the necklace is so beautiful on you! Love your wrist stack too

[@NewYorkSensation]

Yes!! It definitely is growing on me ❤️❤️ definitely want to look into bleu agate 5 motif as my next hahah

[@whogivesaluxe_yt]

@@NewYorkSensation Yesssssss!! 🙌🏽

[@aaronucsd]

I shopped VCA domestic and internationally and Cartier in states and to me between the two, I felt the VCA craftsmanship is wroth more of its costs, because the peices are mostly hand crafted, yes some pre machine stamps for the stones but they are put together manually. Each stone is unique. Even the same color. If you see many of the same stone, they actually very unique. Vs the love bracelet it seems mostly machine made . In terms of popularity and market, I do feel the love bracelet has the win. Again, when you pay around $7k for a bracelet and gold worth is less than $2k worth, that's like $5k markup because of a brand. So Cartier to me has great marketing. However, durability as you said is Cartier as well. I prefer my wife wear what is brought more and not be 'afraid' to wear like the VCA peices. Like these you won't wear with young kids, gym etc. Personally, for me, I think I still prefer VCA. But I see the pro in Cartier as well. So I guess at least one of each right? haha. Pick9ng between one, I know my wife would say, it's like picking one favorite of our the two kids. Buy what you enjoy I would say.

[@claudiakalkbrenner4148]

That's great information about both brands. Didn't know that VCA was handmade. Thank you for sharing.

Do you recommend the Alhambra 5 motif or the juste in clou to pair with the love bracelet?

[@Gainixmelody006]

Hi, I love your stack and want mine to look like that in a few years too! I currently have the cartier love bracelet and am debating between the Van Cleef MOP bracelet or the small Diamond JUC next but not sure which one I should get first! Do you have a recommendation? Thanks in advance :)

[@crisresenhasamericanas]

Also there is a rose gold and solid gold Alhambra bracelets, and the especial edition guiloche... Beautiful pieces that can be used everyday. Lovely review 😘

[@NewYorkSensation]

Yes I did briefly mention the gold options! I think I had originally wanted to put them in but I believe I forgot to put the visual when actually mentioning the gold options which is quite confusing!

[@crisresenhasamericanas]

It was not confusing, you were perfect! On a side note, did you considered getting it in gold? I am wondering if I should get my second VCA bracelet in another precious stone or go for yellow or rose gold. What do you think about the gold ones? Thank you! 😘

[@NewYorkSensation]

I think they are great if you love the style of the 5 motif but don’t want the hassle of taking it on and off! I thought the RG looked gorgeous but when I was initially buying I wanted something to break up my stack (so that it was not all gold) and I decided to go for the MOP as it was a nice neutral that complemented all my outfits vs the others colors which might clash for daily wear.

[@notreallyhome]

I LOVE the holiday wg vca pendant! with vca, love magic size or sweet the most but would not turn down any jewelry gift of any size! lol

[@NewYorkSensation]

The holiday pendant is gorgeous!! 😍 It is so shiny! I have never tried the magic size on only vintage but definitely want to start trying more VCA pieces on to see how they look in person! And yes will never turn down any jewelry gift haha

@@NewYorkSensation oh I have amulette cartier mother of pearl bracelet but honestly I never wear it..thinking of selling it 😒

VCA can be addictive that way, one ends up wanting the full set and then different stones... It definitely has got more appealing pieces for me personally.

If it’s an authentic piece the diamonds shouldn’t be dull unless they just need a cleaning. I would just make sure it’s 100% authentic before purchasing :)

[@wenl4641]

Which do you prefer the love first? Or the nail first ? For ur first bangle?

[@wenl4641]

Or maybe if you will get only one Cartier love or nail would u choose?

[@NewYorkSensation]

That’s a tough question! Just the bracelet? Probably love as it’s really such a nice bracelet by itself or stacked. I prefer the juc bracelet stacked vs by itself. They are both industrial pieces but I consider the love more feminine and elegant vs the juc due to the design. I think love just looks really nice by itself and I love the juc paired with the love vs by itself in the bracelet version. If I was choosing a ring I would choose JUC before love for rings!
