Thanks for such a detailed explanation, Stardust! Is your deposit refundable entirely if you end up choosing not to get anything at all? Does this work for limited edition pieces as well?

The VCA that i visit does not appear to collect deposit to reserve pre-launch (as opposed to LE or normal) item but nothing stops us from paying if that is what we want. My friend paid a deposit for the LE pendant which is now still on hold.

I cannot get my deposit refunded in this part of the world even if I change my mind about a piece. I have a fixed time to apply the deposit to something else. But it must be different elsewhere?

Full details of this policy is handwritten and counter stamped onto my deposit slip ...

I passed on the agate bracelet. I think I want the entire Guilloche suite, necklace, bracelet and earrings. Oy.

Haha that’s totally understandable. It’s mesmerizing when you see the shine on those guilloche motifs. I just got the agate bracelet but can’t stop thinking about the guilloche bracelet. May have to go back for that eventually.

I tried on the guilloche earrings today - stunning! On my wish list. The bracelet and necklace are too delicate for me but they are also gorgeous.

So happy you got to try the collection. Do you feel the earrings weigh more than the other VCA earrings? I am on the same boat, I need hassle free bracelets and necklaces, but the earrings are tempting me.

Any intel on the Agate in Toronto?
My SA says he is unsure when and if Toronto will get them.

The weight seemed fine. I tried them against the pave frivoles (hoping to pull the trigger on these soon) and they felt comparable.
No intel on blue agate :sad: SA said no idea when toronto was getting. SA suggested I try NyC but I rather buy in Canada from my SA so I will just wait.

Thank you for your answer. I'm happy to hear they aren't too heavy, I'll have to go try them on one of these day.

The pave frivoles and guilloche sound like great pieces!!

i took my husband to show him the guilloche pieces i was liking. thought about the earrings and the bracelet but wasn’t sure.

next day he snuck off and bought me the bracelet! he thought it was a better value with more motifs lol.

if i’m being honest i think i may go back for the earrings also at some point too. haha.

hmm for some reason i can’t attach the pic. will try to do so later.

Can I ask you ladies a strange Q? The serial number of your bracelet, does it start with a 4? My SA says all that he has received in stock start with a 4. I don't like this number, but he says this is what the current series has and the next lot will not be for a long time.
