Wow, these look great on her! Thank you for sharing! That is so helpful since we don’t see many photos of these on here.
Thank you so much for the advice. It will definitely make things easier. I was thinking about getting the ones that I would wear more often first. Never thought about which one I like the most.
actually that's not true, the lotus earrings aren't always in stock. I think you see more diamond pieces towards the year end, as this is when people tend to buy more diamond jewellery for the festive season. also for the Chinese, there is also Chinese New Year where they like to have new items to wear.Thank you so much for the advice.

Sometimes when I am ready to purchase, they don't have the item in stock. Just like this time, I was thinking about a 5 motif bracelet but they don't have that particular stone in stock so I needed to just randomly get something from my wishlist hence the Frivole earrings in full gold.
I am wondering if it's better to get items randomly according to the wishlist first because it seems to me that Lotus earrings are always readily available? The higher the price point, the easier to get? Maybe it's not true but I don't know.
A lot of the items in my wishlist are out of stock. It's a bit frustrating. I think I need to prepare my birthday present 6 months earlier
Thank you. I will keep this in mind next time I go to the boutique.
The lotus earrings aren’t always readily available. There was one pair in the country when I bought mine (a couple more were coming in shortly). I wouldn’t let what’s available at the moment dictate what you buy. Everything can be ordered, it just might take a few weeks/months for it to arrive.Thank you so much for the advice.

I asked a few SAs and they said items from Alhambra collection cannot be ordered.
I would maybe try to work with another SA. Alhambra items can be ordered if there isn’t availability. I had an order placed for the Magic Alhambra earrings which I subsequently cancelled when I decided on the lotus, but it is possible. If you want to be able to pick between several of the same piece, however, now is probably not the time to do that. I don’t know about Vintage Alhambra pieces, but boutiques are not getting many Magic pieces to sell on the floor - it seems most are going to orders.
That's strange. Two SAs from different boutiques told me that unless there's stock, clients cannot order. I even offered to pay full price so that once the items are in, I will be the first ones that they call to look at the item. They said no.
I had to order both my Lotus pieces (ring and earrings). Lotus is not a high sales collection due to the price point, hence there is not a lot of stock. My SA says he sells tons of VA stone bracelets and pendants because of the price point.Thank you so much for the advice. It will definitely make things easier.

I had to order an Alhambra bracelet as it was out of stock, so it’s strange your SA will not allow you to order. This means you are always chasing a piece hoping one will be available just for you which is not good, especially if the piece you want is a popular item.That's strange. Two SAs from different boutiques told me that unless there's stock, clients cannot order. I even offered to pay full price so that once the items are in, I will be the first ones that they call to look at the item. They said no.
I only have 4 more most-wanted items to add to complete my VCA journey before things get more chaotic. I learnt my lesson so I will buy my birthday present 6 months earlier.

A big thank you. You always give sound advice.
