My SA contacted me this morning for pre-ordering the BA/YG Guilloche pieces. I ordered the ring and am thinking about other pieces. She said the boutique would receive about half-a-dozen rings with one each per size. Also, it would receive only one watch. I didn’t ask about the pendants or earrings. I don’t know when the ring will arrive in the boutique. I look forward to wearing it with my YG Guilloche collection.
Congrats on adding the ring, it is very pretty! What else are you considering? It seems like one can wait for the best shade for earrings and pendant, since they will be the most plentiful and restock at some time.
For the watch, I would prefer a different colorway (one color), but those are all discontinued and sold out. The blue agate watch seems fairly limited. My boutique is #2 in the world for sales and only received 2 to sell. My SA is not aware of a restock for the watch (not to say it will never happen), so deciding if I should go for it now or wait and see.
Thank you! I am considering the earrings. I already have the Perlee Lapis pendant and feel that covers a blue pendant in my collection. The watch is beautiful but not me. I do have the Lapis RdN earrings but they are a very different look from the Vintage Alhambra. And I don’t ever see myself taking the plunge for a pair of Lapis Vintage Alhambra earrings on the secondary market. Too many fakes.
I don’t have anything in blue agate yet. It is helpful to know that there is variation in color and that I should hold out for shade that I like. I have a number of YG Guilloche pieces, including the Sweet Alhambra Watch, that I think will work well with the ring and possibly the blue agate earrings. It is always good to have options!
That sounds like an excellent plan. If I were to only get one piece from this release it would be the earrings also. I have been tempted by lapis Alhambra earrings on the secondary market in the past as well, but once I knew these were coming out I put that thought aside, as there is no point in risking that approach when these will look so similar. Just do be careful about the color, because it can vary quite a lot.
I was wondering if you all can help me. My sales associate contacted me on putting pair of earrings and necklace on hold. She said I have to pay for them first. I'm a little hesitant because I may not like the shade of blue. If I pay for them before seeing it in person, can I get a refund if I don't like them?
Thank you. Do you know if I will get a refund or store credit? I'm thinking of getting something from Cartier and would like to use the money towards that. Thanks again
It will depend on the store policy. My boutique only allows for credit usually, but I know other boutiques in other countries give refunds. Ask your SA.
Try calling the Online Boutique and see if they have stock coming in. Online purchases would be eligible for a refund.
My SA said it's a permanent line and I can come to see in person when it comes in. Thanks for your advice.
in this scenario i think they treat it as a deposit, as long as you don't walk out of the boutique with the pieces, you can get full refund.
my SA just texted me that I can come in and see the new BA line. I am so excited! Will send picks if I am able to take
