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.
Congratulations! It's a beauty. Wear it well and in good health.
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!
Now a few pictures!
