Went to the boutique to inquire about the YG 5-motif bracelet and was only added to the list. I asked the SA if I could put a deposit down to order and was told no..? Anyone else got this kind of response?

Yes I experienced this last year with my SA but this month I was given opportunity to pay full deposit for a 5motif YG bracelet although she said expect to wait for 6-12mths (🇦🇺🦘).
 
Stock still seems dire for anything hammered gold in Tokyo. I got desperate and bought a preowned vintage pendant… hopefully a 10 motif is more widely available next time I’m in the market!
Same here I never saw a 10 motif hammered in boutique. 5 motif very scarce especially YG. But I tried them in second hand boutique so as it is gold I would buy also second hand if I don’t manage to get it with VCA if I trust the seller
Congratulations !

I have blue agate in vintage size. They are heavier than sweet size earrings but still comfortable for me. I don’t wear any earrings to sleep/overnight though. I do prefer the french clip backing on vintage earrings. They are much more convenient for me and easier to place on and take off. I purposely pick turquoise sweet earrings for the pop of color. Neutral color in sweet size will lost on me. I will recommend try on RG vintage size in boutique since they are open for ordering. If you don’t like it, you can always decline after try on the earrings. And use the fund for other sweet earrings. I hope you find a pair of earrings that is up to your likings.
The turquoise sweets are so perfect!

I saw a 20 motif YG and a 20 motif RG in Hong Kong last week. They were much brighter than the hammered YG and RG I have from earlier years. The difference in color was very noticeable (and strange to me). But no 5 or 10 motifs!
