I’ve attended one of those events prior, and I was not pressured to buy, but I don’t know if it’s the same for all events. You will have an opportunity to see pieces that simply aren’t in the boutique and even get to try them on. It’s a very lovely event, and if some of the pieces are in your price range, even better.I have a question for you more-experienced fine-jewelry people: My S.A. knows that I love Victoire de Castellane's designs, and I've bought some fine jewelry from her. She was telling me about a special fine-jewelry event that Dior is holding in my area and asked if I wanted to go. She said there would be a lot of high-jewelry pieces there. I said yes, thinking it was an exhibition, and I could go admire the designs. Maybe I was naive to think I could just go and look. Now I have an hour-long appt -- what have i gotten myself into?
If you clearly state that you’re there to see what you might want in the future, I think that’s fair. Did you ask your SA to send you the jewelry selections that will be part of the event? Usually they will send it beforehand.
