Lots of eye candy and I try on plenty of gorgeous pieces for you as well as those that have been on my wishlist for years! I hope you enjoy this vlog and what do you think about the new VCA packaging? Yay, or Nay? xx Mel

[@mindbodysoul8214]

I'm not a fan of the new packaging....does not compare to the previous at all. What is your thoughts Mel, being that you actually seen and handled it firsthand didn't recall hearing your thoughts?

[@sharonhibbard3605]

“I may or may not have bought something” she says with the VCA shopping bag sitting next to her 😂 love this vlog… the yellow gold is gorgeous!

[@MelinMelbourne]

Haha I know right, subtle lol 😂 So glad you enjoyed the vlog Sharon Xx

[@steph____]

Your green lizard Kelly is the only Kelly I have ever felt over the moon about. That bag is beyond STUNNING. 😮😍😍😍😍😍💚💚💚💚💚💚

[@specialsasha6506]

Ur hubby is super sweet !! He’s involved with choosing too. ❤❤

[@queenofdiamondsamy]

Huge congratulations on 7years on YT Mel!!! What an incredible journey watching you all these years! I super love your new earrings and your vintage Lizard Kelly is just TDF!! I havnt visited VCA in a hot min. Def time to add another piece 🤔 I really like yellow gold on you, it goes with your existing stack more

[@ritak4302]

Congrats on 7 years Mel! Been watching you were years! I was hoping you would try that reversible ring, ive been eying it and I think it's perfect! I hope you got the perlee clover braclet, that's my dream bracelet! Looks so good on your stack! Love your shopping vlogs, can you do one for Bvlgari again? Love your outfit too!

[@fabulousirene]

Happy 7 years YT anniversary 🎉. What a beautiful Vlog. Those bracelets are so stunning. Thank you so much for sharing Mel 💕

[@bluestarstsl]

I like the silver bracelet look so shiny. Congrats to your 7 year anniversary and hope more to come. Glad that you are full time now. Cant wait for your VCA unboxing 😉

[@TRUTHx247]

Thank you for taking us along, Mel! Love you to bits my dear! ❤🎉

[@MelinMelbourne]

Thanks for coming along with me my dear! Much love right back Xx ❤

[@pattywilliams788]

Good morning, Mel! Congratulations on your 7 year KZbin Anniversary. Those bracelets were so beautiful and so were the other jewelry pieces. I love the watch you showed, too. Your Hubby is so funny or, as we say in the Southern US, he’s a real hoot. Thank you for sharing your Van Cleef and Arpels try-on. I look forward to seeing what you chose.

[@TurtleMeeeP]

I really don't like the new packaging. Feels so cheap. Part of the excitement of the unboxing is the luxurious feel of the old packaging. We're already paying a premium, at least keep the nice boxes!

[@RA-xt4vq]

I’m with you. Don’t like them packaging either. Previous packaging have more luxury feel to it. they come in a box and you can get a travel pouch. Now you only get a travel pouch with your expensive jewelry with no box 😅

[@chloesay9473]

Exactly ... for the price we pay atleast we should have a proper box !

[@Mypegs]

Not a fan of the new packaging. My sa said its more eco friendly as its travel friendly but it looks/feels cheaper. Loving my reversible ring, sized down to 49 from 51

[@tanyaminia]

Congrats on your milestone Mel! 🥳🎉🥳 wishing you success and happiness in your future 💖

[@MelinMelbourne]

Thank you so much Tanya! I can’t believe it’s been 7 hrs already! Thanks for all your support over the years my dear Xx

[@susangenafer7110]

Congrats Mel 🎉🎉🎉 ...I bought my perlee colvers BRACELET 10 years ago, I hv the white and the rose gold with diamonds LOVE IT❤ to be honest I didn't see a big difference between the gold and the rose one but I had a lots of compliments on my rose gold especially against my tan skin....what ever your heart feels go for it Mel 😊😍😍😍

[@dominichill1492]

Congratulations to you're 7 year anniversary on KZbin Mel. Wish I was there to give you a gift as a fan to show my support and respect to you as being a loyal subscriber Mel sweetheart.

[@AH-rf2vb]

Your videos are always so informative. I was straight on their website to look at the reversible ring. Luckily it was the first thing on there. The new packaging looks bulky, I’m glad I have so much of the current pouches for travel, way more useable. But I really want the new packaging too 😂

[@lyba5644]

Gratz, Mel! Pave bracelet is stunning🤩

[@MelinMelbourne]

Thanks so much my dear! Oh so hard to pick, I want them all lol Xx

[@noagruber8028]

love your video today. I love the VCA jewelry especially the malachite pieces like you have. Mel do more blogs about life in Melbourne. I am going to Australia for the first time at the end of this year and am so excited. It has been my dream to visit since I was a child!

[@nicolelai2559]

Love love love……all your Vlog ! Thanks for sharing ! 😍😍😍

[@rhondaalivingston5705]

Congratulations..🎉🎉 Everything was beautiful on your hands and wrists.. I love how you take your time and make it such a event in your life, I just buy on impulse. I so enjoyed shopping with you..❤

[@bernadettemedina4533]

All the pieces look nice on you! I love the perlee bangle in the regular size…it’s on my wishlist.💖

[@belumakanpisang]

❤❤❤❤ Happy 7 years anniversary on YT Mel 🎉

[@MelinMelbourne]

Thank you so much my dear Xx

[@mindbodysoul8214]

HAPPY 7th Year ANNIVERSARY Mel and here's to many more Amazing years ahead. I personally like your stack As Is - without another bracelet Mel. If you must add another bracelet, I would go with a dainty piece. Have a Wonderful weekend ahead.💛

[@milette80]

All of the VCA jewelry look so good on you !!

[@MelinMelbourne]

Thank you so much my dear! Too much I love there lol 😍

[@hjardeirdunndesign7990]

I love the wide clover!

[@MelinMelbourne]

When I first tried it years ago I wasn’t so sure but I just love it more and more each time I try it Xx

[@thecrystalpearl]

“So your gonna buy it?!” Haha loved this! Blessings on 7 years Mel! ❤

[@MelinMelbourne]

Thank you so much lovely! Love bringing hubby along he cracks me up so much Xx

[@MadamoftheCatHouse]

The food is the best part of the vid.

[@ggsavannabee175]

The rose gold looks great with your stack and on your skin tone 😍 still both beautiful

[@imeldastuger7117]

Congrats Mel 🎉🎊🎉

[@MelinMelbourne]

Thank you so much Imelda Xx

[@haley2704]

The larger perlee bracelet with sweet clovers is my preference like your hubby said the clovers on the thin one get lost in the perlee and I also love the yellow gold Alhambra pave earrings these two are a perfect match. I have a big milestone coming myself this year and I intend to get these two pieces to celebrate. Can’t wait to add to my collection. Also, as my SA pointed out you really need two thinner perlee bracelets to be stacked together and if you double the cost of that your better off getting the larger one because that would be less in cost then two thinner ones and it can definitely stand on its own on the wrist.

[@josephine6638]

Love your shopping vlog. The perlee bracelet is stunning. Congrats on your 7 years !!!.

[@MelinMelbourne]

Thank you so much Josephine! Do you mean the perlee clovers or single row diamond bracelet? Both so beautiful though x

[@josephine6638]

Love the perlee clovers

[@michellesantiago820]

gorgeous pieces. i also like the watch that was shown at the end. where the couple will meet at a certain time at the top of the bridge.

[@kellydouglas7232]

CONGRATULATIONS Mel, I Love the Alhambra Bracelet with the New Alhambra Ring with Gold on one side and Red on the other side ☘☘☘

[@jaks_bag_attack]

All gorgeous choices! Your hubby is so sweet

[@MelinMelbourne]

Thank you Jacqueline! Hubby is very sweet and I appreciate it so much when he comes along Xx

[@lifewithalana1608]

OmG yall food look so good!!

[@MelinMelbourne]

So yummy! 😋

[@sflower1533]

I suggest clover bracelet cause personally I like luxury with their iconic motifs. Love the new packaging, more compact.

[@MelinMelbourne]

Yes it’s very iconic and so classy! Thanks for watching lovely Xx

[@ecubinjessaq_maed_gensci6383]

love everything meeeel 😍

[@lovelyliz71]

both bangles are so gorgeous and I love the GOLD coz it pair with everything , my goodness those jewelries , us viewers can only dreams because it’s free hahaha happy 7 years 🎉

[@Dwightinho56]

Always loved the Perlé bracelet❣️😊

[@bonnielau6443]

Bracelet with the cloves!! Love love

[@MelinMelbourne]

So stunning right? You mean the thicker or thinner one? Xx

[@kathythompson8758]

Love your videos. Nice eye candy today.

[@MelinMelbourne]

Thank you so much Kathy, glad you enjoyed the vlog lovely x

[@bflorida8469]

Your video is lovely as always. I just recently added 2 VCA pieces and they are beautiful. The Vintage Alhambra 5 motif bracelet in Chalcedony and the newest vintage Alhambra ring in Carnelian and GUILLOCHE that flips over......This ring is much more comfortable than I anticipated but its actually like having 2 rings in one. PLEASE REMEMBER - regarding this new flip over ring, it runs at least 2 sizes larger than my other rings. I was very surprised and impressed with my SA since I wasn't close by to try it on prior to purchasing. She was brilliant and I agreed to start with a much smaller size - which fits perfectly!

[@tiam8042]

Congratulations on 7 Yrs milestone. Yellow gold looks good on you

[@MelinMelbourne]

Thank you so much my dear! It was so hard to choose love both colors so much Xx

[@CapeCodBelle]

I love the single row diamond VCA bracelet! I don't think it needs a friend, but you have a stack of friends on your wrist already 😂

[@MelinMelbourne]

Oh it was so hard to pick! I think ever time I go in something is added to my wishlist lol. I’ve been going back and forth on these bracelets for 2 years. Haha very true any one I choose will have friends 😂 Xx

[@margaritakim8424]

Поздравляю с 7 летием! Прекрасный обзор. Спасибо!❤❤❤

[@smellyberries]

that stunning Kelly!!!

[@yichen4398]

The Airforce!!!!! 🧜🏻‍♀️

[@yj20135]

I love the frivole pave earrings on you! Your face seems to light up and you def look younger! Hope you got this one xx

[@Restless318]

THANK YOU MEL

[@MelinMelbourne]

Thanks for watching lovely x

[@lindanugen]

Hi Mel I think you need to get the big perlee clover bangle. It’s beautiful!

[@suzettehenry1265]

Beautiful pieces

[@thinklilly2708]

I think the sweet clover with the one row diamond bracelet would be perfect 😍

[@pratiwisuhartini2572]

Thats really nice and stunning 🥰

[@MelinMelbourne]

So many gorgeous pieces Xx

[@fypaina1790]

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR 7YRS MILESTONES! Just an idea, maybe you can celebrate your milestones with your fans through letters! I would definitely loves to receive a letter from you! Also you can use the VCA letters & envelope set❤

[@thinklilly2708]

I really prefer the older packaging. The boxes were so nice

[@MelinMelbourne]

Yes me too, however you can still opt for the older packaging from what my SA told me x

[@domino2367]

Love ❤️ the perlée rose 🥀 gold bangle my Dear Mel and that stunning 🤩 new! double sided ring 💍 = gorgeous 😍😍😍 and thanks 🙏🏻 for sharing with us this precious VCA ‘trip’ 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️🥀🥀🥀🌺🌺🌺💎💎💎

[@marjoriecoleman8280]

Hi Mel, Happy 7 year KZbin Anniversary! 🎉🍾🥳 The VCA bracelets and necklaces are soo popular now. I love the yellow gold one, (the smaller bracelet) and the one row diamond bracelet. 💎 Soo beautiful!!! ❤️

[@quynhtessentially]

My favourite brand at the moment! 🍀

[@MelinMelbourne]

I have a never ending wishlist lol 😍

[@sunnyv.3307]

🤩🤩🤩yes this is gorgeous 🤩🤩🤩🤩what did you buy???💕😁💕

[@jackiebeans2689]

WOW!! Gorgeous!!!!💕💫💕💫

[@winenot1]

I like the new packaging.

[@danasam8987]

Definitely pave!

[@user-ti6zo7pz5i]

the perlee clovers large is the best bracelet ,just stunning in yellow gold

[@asmallbitchybanana]

I love the clover rosegold bracelet

[@MelinMelbourne]

It’s so stunning! 😍 Thanks so much my dear x

[@jadedocuocsongcanada9358]

Hi Mel, I God my order, Thank-you for your concerned. Have a nice weekend. God bless ❤.

[@GainsbyAllie]

At my local boutique they offered the option of the box or the travel pouch packaging, just can’t get both anymore. The loophole is if you come back the next day or whenever to get your pendant or bracelet resized.

[@ploooompkin]

"so this one is co-dependent" I have never heard a bracelet described as that before and as a psychologist, i LOLed

[@Moni-gq2sd]

I prefer the yellow gold on you. ❤

[@k8m8]

VCA vlogs are my absolute fave!! I had to watch it 3 times. The single row perlee is an absolute MUST and on my list for next year. I was planning to get the sweet. Lover to stack with it eventually, but now you have me rethinking…. The classic clover looks amazing on you 😍. You can’t beat the diamond colour/quality at VCA and it’s one of the reasons I’m so crazy about the brand. I’ve seen someone SO the pave frivole earrings in the large size!! The most stunning earrings I’ve EVER seen. Can’t wait to see what you got!!!!

[@Jcastbianca]

You have flawless skin.

[@rellrell9457]

GM Mel 👋🏾. Off topic, will Cartier have a price increase soon?

[@vanessawearslilly3964]

I’m not a big exotic skin fan BUT that green lizard Kelly is absolutely gorgeous! Wow! I love videos like this that give a good look at a VIP experience - your SA was so nice to help show the packaging in the video. I think the Perlee is so very beautiful. I think it’s a bracelet to wear on its own though. The smaller Perlee looks good in a stack. Not a fan of the diamond row Perlee - I think the bracelet your mother-in-law gave you is prettier than that one. The flower petal earrings (forget the collection name) are so lovely. I prefer that collection over the Alhambra although I have to say, the 3 stone earrings looked so fabulous with your Kelly💚 Thanks for a great video!

[@Skyebright1]

Frivole

[@Liz86000]

I love that your husband knows all about Van Cleef, lol ! The Perlée line, the clovers, he knows it all !

[@MelinMelbourne]

Haha he does, prob hears me talking about it way too much 😅😂 Xx

[@beautyfullify]

Rose Rouge is my favourite perfume❤

[@MelinMelbourne]

Oh I’ve never tried it, good to know ❤ Xx

[@MrLmajority]

Not a fan of the new packaging love the old boxes it’s more lux anyway congratulations Mel

[@fashionupdate390]

By the way catch my Hermes unboxing too I think you will like that design

[@zhakolik]

Лепота! Любо- дорого посмотреть на все ваше великолепие!

[@kaylheecarroll3186]

You bought it and we're going to get an unboxing video soon❤😅

[@kjrj2740]

When is the price increase? Or has it already happened?

[@MelinMelbourne]

It just happened in AUS yesterday, approx 5% increase across the board x

[@littleluxuries_435]

Absolutely loved this shopping vlog!!!! I loved the yellow gold bracelets so much, I would have a hard time choosing! I loved seeing the special things your SA did for your visit. VCA has amazing customer service! Thank you, Mel.

[@DeathHela]

i actually find the rose gold looking better with ur stack cuz there r too many yellow gold pieces 😍😍😍 n when u zoomed out the camera i feel like the clovers seem to pop up more with the rose gold background!

[@Zedohh]

I agree, and it seemed thicker for some reason

[@glendaober0975]

Perlee clover braclet and frivole ring in your middle finger❤❤❤❤ happy 7th year❤❤❤

[@lesliecraven3087]

I love the Perlee collection. I like the signature collection instead of a Cartier love bracelet. The variety of design with the Alhambra motif is so much more interesting than a screw head to me. I would go with the larger Alhambra motif. Thanks for sharing

[@dm5791]

Please drop a non sponsored day and night skincare routine /supplements. You have amazing skin. Also a second everyday makeup video? 😊

[@paradisehomeland]

What is your wrist size? I bought a Perlee VCA in s and I wonder is XS would fit butter

[@moonlitedreamz]

Hi Mel. Could I ask whether vca had a price increase since your video. Someone mentioned there was a price increase in Oct?

[@jiayili437]

The SA saying: good cost per wear.. ahhaha 😂

[@gh6863]

Thin perlee bangle suits you better

[@EveD123]

First to comment and watch again

[@MelinMelbourne]

Thank you for being early again lovely hope you enjoyed the vlog Xx

[@SophiaSong]

I must have missed the info on the price increase! Can anyone fill me in?

[@MelinMelbourne]

It happened yesterday in AUS and Japan I believe. US & Europe no increase. This is bc AUS was about 5% cheaper than EU prices. Hope that helps x

[@SophiaSong]

@@MelinMelbourne thanks Mel!! Super helpful xoxo

[@karenmax5999]

I know this is on v and A..but I just saw a Lindy 30 and mini Lindy and LOVE that bag! Do you have any Lindy’s? Do you like the style? Are they hard to get like a Kelly or Birkenhead?

[@Skyebright1]

I think the mini’s are popular but not as hard to get as a birkin or Kelly

[@fancienanc]

Gold looked. Better

[@paradisehomeland]

Gee, my husband bought me the same perlee in RG. However, I think YG would look nicer to my real skin. Love YG

[@michellesantiago820]

😍😍

[@MelinMelbourne]

❤❤❤

[@alexanderveljanov6128]

That packaging to me looks like such a cheap cost cut! Spend 5K on an entry bracelet, get a cheap flimsy packaging... Spend 40K and get the same flimsy packaging. Not liking it at all! Side note. Congrats on 7 years!

[@fairytale7251]

Can you chose the old packaging?

[@fashionupdate390]

Yes they have price increase

[@jambm]

💚💚💚

[@NA-rq9rz]

What is that stunning bangle with yellow gold and a row of diamonds ??

[@carriearlante8927]
