Help! I'm having a bit of a dilemma. I have been on the waitlist for the 16 motif hammered RG necklace since last year. In Nov I was told I'm 6th on the list. Last week I saw an excellent condition, 2022 necklace with certificate (no box) pop up on fashionphile for the same price as retail, so I purchased it. It came yesterday and I LOVE it and I'm so glad I got the chance to try it on. I reached out to my SA out of interest as I would much prefer to buy from the boutique and I am now 4th on the list. My question is, do I return the FP necklace and wait it out, knowing I really would prefer to buy from the boutique, or just keep the FP one and be done with it. Any advice would be appreciated!!!

The RG hammered bracelet I had been wearing hoping for turned up today. I hadn’t want to put a deposit down with a long wait but asked my SA to watch, and it had a happy ending.

She also got in a RG hammered sweet 16 motif, but I decided it wasn’t for me even though it looks great on others.

Good luck to all who are still hunting for hammered pieces!

Reposting what I said in the Japan thread…

I wonder if the latest price increase was just too much for people. It was impossible for me to find a 10 motif onyx necklace or anything hammered gold in Japan on my last 4 trips but on this trip, on my first visit to the store, they were able to secure both metal hammered 5 motif bracelets and the 10 motif onyx necklace.

Oooh good to know, I'll be in Japan the end of May and beginning of June!

I've had no luck with any YG hammered pieces at my local boutique 🥲 last time I checked w/ my SA she said it'll be over 1 year for the bracelet and earrings, shorter for the 10-motif. Wish me luck lol🤞🏼

Good luck!!! Something must’ve changed… the SA made it seem like she could get any of the things you mentioned. I only specified the 2 hammered bracelets but she tried to make sure I wasn’t also interested in the earrings or 10 motif. I would’ve killed for the 10 motif just a few months ago but the price increase put it over my budget (and I bought a hammered pendant a few months ago thinking no way would I get offered the 10 motif).
