The blue sevres 5 motif bracelet with white gold did exist. I tried it on but decided not to get it. All the stores in Paris had the 20 motif version on display in the windows then.
Yep, still available at place Vendome. I tried it on before but went for the vintage size in MOP and Onyx in the end.
Your SA is wrong. It is available as a special order – my SA from Place Vendome gave me detailed pricing for bracelets completely without diamonds, alternating sevres and gold, and alternating sevres with diamond motifs. I ultimately decided not to order (I placed another very special order instead, which I will pick up this winter), but I confirmed with her recently that they are still available for special order. Prices have gone up, but here is what I was quoted last year:
Sevres porcelain Bracelets:
3 porcelain, 2 gold: 5,100eu
5 porcelain: 5,500eu
3 porcelain, 2 gold+diamond: 12,200 eu
HTH.
Interesting to know! Do you know by any chance if they would accept a special order for porcelain earrings (1 or 2 motif), or a vintage alhambra ring (with diamond)? Or is special order with porcelain only available for bracelets?
I recently got the blue Sèvres pendant which I really love and I wouldn't mind a matching ring or earrings.
I know they have 3 motif earrings with diamonds, but for earrings I prefer 2 or single motif.
At the time I was there I was told that only 3-motif earrings were available for purchase, but VCA is so funny – it's possible to get different answers at different times! I try to make a nuisance of myself and just keep asking again at intervals (very politely of course)… i feel you never know when they will say "yes!"
I did not even think to ask about a ring - I wish I had. So sorry.
Will you let us know if you have any luck? The only thing I will add is that I was recently told by an SM at a different store that VCA's policy is, where possible, to allow people to make "suites" of Alhambra pieces. So for instance, if you purchased a turquoise necklace, you are more likely (but no guarantee) to have luck asking for a special order of turquoise earrings to match your existing necklace. Does that make sense?
Good luck!!!
Makes total sense, thank you so much
!We don't have a VCA boutique here, but I had a very pleasant experience at Place Vendome recently.
While I was there, I was hinting how much I loved their grey mop holiday pendant from 2014, and that I was still kicking myself that I did not get one. Maybe I was hoping they would offer me to place a special order for a grey mop pendant but that did not happen. Instead, they showed me a grey mop Magic ring
.Perhaps I will politely ask them next time if it is possible to special order a matching piece for my pendant.
My only concern is that I am not sure how durable/fragile porcelain is in a ring. I am sure it is fine in a pendant, but what if I bump against something with a ring with porcelain? Is there a chance it will crack?
Matching earrings are probably a safer bet, but I still like the idea of a ring too.
I am not in a hurry anyway, so I have some time to think about it. But I must repeat, I really like the idea of a matching ring.
To be continued I guess
.
They did offer SO for 1motif porcelain, but not sure about 2 motifs earrings or ring.
Like what hopingoneday said, their answers vary time to time. Might worth to give it a try when you are ready =)
Now, that is dangerous info – tempting to ask about special ordering a pair of super earrings in the porcelain!
In all seriousness, I do wish I could understand why you can only order the porcelain in Paris. I love my local store and they are very good to me – I'd rather give them the business.
I also was appalled at the thought of paying so much for porcelain, but once I saw it, I was hooked. I highly recommend it for any of you who are on the fence. I guess I'm biased though
I'm wondering if any of you guys own a single Vendome pendant and a single onyx pendant at the same time. I was planning to buy the Vendome pendant next time when I go to France. While I was planning to buy it, this year's holiday pendant looks so tempting and I already paid for it to reserve it.
I haven't seen the Vendome pendant in person. I read posts and saw a few pictures, so I understand it is slightly bigger then the vintage size. However, I'm not sure how blue it will be indoors. Since I'm getting onyx with a small diamond, there's a difference, and the Vendome pendant looks definitely blue outdoors and slightly bigger, so there're other differences. However, I'm still worried if it looks dark enough to be seen as a black color indoors, maybe it can be too similar to own both holiday onyx pendant and Vendome pendant.
Within few weeks, I will be planning my vacation trip with my hubby. Paris is one of the city we are seriously considering.
My hubby doesn't know that it can affect my decision, but sure it is.
Can anyone who already own Blue Porcelains share thoughts? Thanks in advance!
