Hunt is on. Pieces available and where...

@EpiFanatic I agree with @lynne_ross and think it looks really nice on you. Can I ask what makes you feel it isn't for you? From this angle, I think it would be really nice with the signature and single row. Would you consider it as a piece to get later down the road or are you completely crossing it off the list? I believe you have the wg Ecrou , which I imagine would look very nice with the one row. However, if you plan to stack them and had to choose between the clover or one row, I would say the one row is better suited to the aesthetic of the other two bangles signature and Ecrou. I, too, think the single row is very pretty so there is now doubt it should remain on your list

Thank you @glamourbag. It is so kind of you. The single row is more me and goes better with my The clover feels very “fancy” to me and I’ve learned the hard way that if I do not feel comfortable with the look and feel of an item I will never wear it. But now I know for sure I want the single row. It’s pricey for what it is and people have said it’s a essentially just a bangle. However I haven’t found anything that feels quite like it.

I have the single row ring, wear it almost daily, and would love to get the single row bangle. It looked better on me than the clover bangle. Have a hard justifying the price.

Hi @7777777 the ring is actually part of the wedding band line, not he perlee. I thought it was the single row too. It’s lovely though. I can see why you wear your single row ring a lot. The bracelet is super expensive for what it is. And believe it or not I’ve seen knockoffs for under $3k and the quality is so poor. But even so it’s so expensive. I get it. Unfortunately it’s a piece that I can’t get out of my mind. It is so well made, so solid and perfectly aligned and the diamonds have killer sparkle. My wallet will just need to cry for a while.

The single row looks stunning with your Perlee. It makes the set look nice and blingy. Yet the look is still crisp.

The clover with your Perlee changes the look. The clover is thicker with more metal, so now your set looks like two metal bangles with a little splash of diamond. The blingy diamond effect is now lost.

I vote single row with your bangle. It looks beautiful on your wrist.

Thanks @BigAkoya . That’s the same feeling it get. I have a couple dear friends that have been telling me I had to get it since I tried it on years ago. They were right and I will for my 25th anniversary next year. Now that I’ve decided I just need to be patient, unless a price increase happens. Then I will just need to jump the gun.

This makes sense actually and it’s so important that we know how we “are”. It saves a lot of money and heartache in the long run. I’d have to agree with you… no one does the pearl border quite like vca and there is no other diamond bangle which has such pretty framing detail as the one, three and even the non diamond five rows by vca. I hope it finds its way to you soon!

I know how you feel, have been looking at it for awhile, few price increases happened since then, I got two other bracelets that added up to almost the same amount and still can not get it out of my head lol.

Today at SF NM:
I have been eyeing the single row perlee bangle for forever. I decided no and then yes…
First time I tried the clover bangle in an XS, and it’s stunning, but not me. The single row, unfortunately, still is.

@EpiFanatic The single row diamond perlee looks drop dead gorgeous on you, with or without the signature perlee bracelet. I love the perlee clover bracelet in general but looking at the pics, my vote is for the single row. I honestly love mine so much! It may not be a popular choice on the forum like the perlee clover but it packs a punch and is just one of the most elegant, dignified piece I have seen. It’s reassuring to buy a popular piece at times but my rule of thumb for buying is it should look great on ME. Others won’t wear it, I will.

Does anyone know if the low inventory applies to even their “basic” pendants? Trying to get a WG Mini Frivole and it’s not in stock at the S.F. NM. Online it says contact for availability. What’s the route to go here for a first time buyer?

I would call the ecommerce site to see if the can locate it for you in North America. I just purchased 20motif MOP necklace in YG and this was the route I took as it was not available in SF NM store either.

I just picked out my first VCA piece - a WG vintage Alhambra pendant. It wasn’t in stock in my local boutique. The SA ordered one for me after I tried on a few in stock pendants for size/material reference. They collected a 50% deposit.

It does. My friend tried to buy the sweet alhambra in white MOP from her local store and she was just told there's a waitlist. The SA didn't offer to order it in for her, assuming because a few people have ordered it already. She's in Toronto. I referred her to my Vancouver SA and she was able to place an order with that SA. She had to pay the full price of the item as the deposit.

Try calling the e-commerce store, or you can also ask someone here for an SA contact and send them a message if they can find it for you.

I would love to have help selecting a few items on my wishlist in the color shades I am looking for when they come into stock, if any members frequent the 5th Ave NYC boutique. Please DM me if you are willing to be my “eyes”. My SA is great about sending photos and videos, but the color tone is so off that it is hard to choose a color.

Oooh.... I can't wait to see what you are getting! You already have an amazing collection!
I wish I lived in NYC, I would be so happy to help.
