If I already have a guilloche bracelet is this a little redundant?

I think if you have a guilloche bracelet, for me, I would get an all carnelian 5 motif if that is the stone you like. For me, an alternating bracelet is nice, but nothing pops like an all stone 5-motif. It just makes a statement.

For a carnelian bracelet... wow... five red motifs! That's just gorgeous to me, much more I must say, than the alternating which visually the eye has to bounce around a bit too much. Vsually, you ever only see two or three motifs at one time anyway, so I feel the "pop of color" or "all gold" is lost. IF the eye only sees two-three motifs, I would rather they be two carnelian or two guilloche as I think it pops more.

That would be my vote. Hope that helps.

That was so funny! Yes yes yes... call now! Buy it now! It may be gone Thursday! Your husband is so cool to do the actual purchase. I think SAs like it when hubbies participate in spending money on bling. Good hubby! :biggrin:

I’m trying to convince him. :lol: I’m surprising him with a good Tiffany bracelet this weekend so my spending budget for the month is done.

I heard that if you don’t get one from their initial inventory they’ll put you on a waitlist for the next batch but you may need to wait 3-4 months. I don’t know how accurate that is or how limited or if it will also be available online.

I did know that as of Friday, Hudson Yards were getting 10 bracelets and my friend was the last to put her name down as #5.

Hi Lucky, my store is also the Hudson Yards. Wow, I didn't know they will only get 10 bracelets. Did your friend put down a deposit when they list her name? My SA put my name on the waitlist but he didn't ask me for a deposit. I'm worried my name won't be included in the first batch if I didn't pay a deposit.

I wonder if they will be numbered like some past LEs. My guess is that it will probably not be limited enough to justify that, but wouldn’t that make it even more fun if so?

Hi! I think you should call and put down a deposit. My SA told me to about orders to get in the priority queue, you have to put down a deposit. He even went to say a 30% minimum to be counted as a "real order". Otherwise, you do not get priority and are really just on a wait list and you will keep getting bumped by those who put down deposits or pay in full. I am not accusing your SA at all, but I also wonder if your SA did not say to put down a deposit so other clients could put down their deposits and get their bracelet first.

As we all know, there are clients, and there are special clients.

Anyway, if you really want a bracelet, I would insist on putting down a deposit or pay in full.

Thanks for the info. Last time I texted my SA, he told me there's not much inquiry for now so I would be on top of the waitlist but now reading from here it seems like there's already a line of people who's already on the top 10 list. I'm sending him a message so I could put a deposit and hopefully be on the 10 list.

I hope you get one!
Also, I want to add, my SA told me putting down a 30% deposit vs. paying in full makes no difference in the priority order (e.g. you do not move up in priority if you pay in full vs. 30%). After the 30% or more payment, your place in priority is when you placed it.

My SA said the only clients that will bump you are the VIPs which they get first priority of course.

I’m soooo tempted! I have the RG guilloche pendant and I feel like this would be a perfect pair; but I have the 5 motif bracelet in onyx and I’m not sure it’s worth it to get this bracelet since connecting those two and making a necklace wouldn’t be a great combo.....or would it???
