I've mentioned I'd love the 50th anniversary lapis yg pave bracelet on some of my wishlists here, but I knew it would be next to impossible to get since they only made a limited amount of them. I had asked SAs in a couple of locations in the US, and the last answer was that there were no more in the US. I just love lapis and turquoise, and I knew this likely would be my last chance to get the lapis. I honestly didn't think it was possible, so I didn't think about it seriously.
But one day earlier this month, a very sweet friend emailed me and told me that she knew where one was, and she could connect me with her SA if I was interested! She had noticed my love for lapis and remembered! So I contacted the SA in Paris, and after seeing pictures, I was thrilled to order the bracelet!!! It came last night, and I took a few pictures today! You can see that the color varies a lot depending on the lighting. The outdoor pictures show a more vivid color than I actually see. It's a rich deep royal blue in reality, and some of the pictures show that. My lapis motifs are evenly colored, but because they are very polished, sometimes you can see a reflection in them or fingerprints (so please excuse those in my pics because the motifs looked clean when I took the pictures!). Very close up I can see some extremely tiny white or gold dots that look like the starry night sky.
So a HUGE thank youto my friend, and also to her friend who connected her with Place Vendome first! I met her friend here quite by accident, and we realized the common connection! Thankful to have friends who share a common love for VCA and fine jewelry!
Congratulations love!
Really happy for you! It looks absolutely stunning! I am glad you could get your dream bracelet! I've been obsessed with Lapis lately and it is near impossible to find it anywhere! I can still enjoy it through your photos 
Thank you so much to all who have replied! It's so wonderful to have a community with a common interest and appreciation for VCA! I spend a lot of time reading the forum and admiring all of your beautiful jewelry!
A few more pictures today! (Need to retake the others because they are too large.)

Thank you! The plain stone and solid gold bracelets are around $3700-4200 usd, but the ones with 3 stone and 2 pave motifs range from about $12-15k. This one is the most expensive because a limited quantity was produced.
