I was told I can put a deposit to secure the 5 motif earlier this week, but they can’t guarantee the shade of the stone as it’s more like I will be allocated one just like the holiday pendant, as everyone know red carnelian ranging from brownish red to bright red and the first time it was launched I was given an orange brown stone which I passed, really hesitate to put deposit for it before seeing the real deal and it can only be turned into store credit for other item instead of the refund,
That's interesting. At the US boutiques I've always been told that a deposit can be refunded, not just store credit but actually going back to the credit card.
