Very disappointing customer service experience with Van Cleef & Arpels.
I noticed that my recent orders no longer included a cleaning kit, so I contacted customer service to ask about it. The response I received was essentially that because I had already received cleaning kits with previous purchases, they would not send another one.
Considering that each piece costs thousands, this response felt incredibly cheap and unprofessional. What made it worse was the explanation that because some purchases were made through guest checkout, the system identified them as repeat purchases for the same person — completely ignoring the possibility that luxury jewelry can also be bought as gifts. So because I already have cleaning kit included in previous orders I would not get that anymore as part of the order.
It is honestly shocking to see such rigid and petty customer treatment from a brand positioned as high luxury. Beautiful jewelry, but the after-sales experience does not reflect the prestige the brand tries to project.
Kit Ying provided us with exceptional service during our honeymoon visit to Lucerne.
We were particularly impressed by their outstanding selling skills and professional approach.
Despite the fact that it could have been quite tedious, she patiently assisted us by bringing out and putting back various necklaces multiple times to ensure we made a thoughtful and confident decision.
To make our honeymoon even more special, she kindly offered us champagne, creating a truly premium and unforgettable customer experience.
We are leaving with wonderful memories and will be sure to seek her out again on our next visit. Thank you for the impeccable service Kit Ying!

Store ist klein aber schön. Es bediente mich eine ältere Dame , sehr schön gekleidet, ca. 70. Wahrscheinlich hilft sie nach der Pensionierung noch aus - finde ich ja gut, aber sie war eher oberflächlich und machte oft etwas zynische Kommentare, was mich sehr verunsicherte….
