Kind of a late reply to this, but I was stalking the thread and saw this? May I ask what you mean by without the bead? Do you mean the bead the beads around the motif or in the centre? These sound really interesting!

Thanks for sharing this, very interesting to know! So you were able to buy a single pure earring from outside the boutique, and you are now requesting to see if VCA will make you the matching piece?Interesting point @BigAkoya - I actually contacted London NBS to help me out with the Pure Alhambra earrings I desperately was trying to source.
I managed to purchase a single piece at a good price and requested for a replication/restoration service due to missing piece. Effectively, this is a request to make a new pair for me at a discounted rate in exchange for that remaining earring. Waiting for an approval now. This is "kinda" SO, since pure earrings were discontinued quite a while ago. Really hope it will go through and I won't be stuck with a single old earringbut oh boy, it's so gorgeous. It's sleek, size is excellent, there is substantial but not uncomfortable weight in it. I keep my fingers crossed for approval since I just purchased 14 motif necklace and I have a bracelet.
Not surprised NBS is quiet given the energy situation in the UK
Really hope they approve it so you can have the set!
The center! Unfortunately my 10 motif rose gold pave SO didn't come out as ordered even though my SA confirmed it would be alternating with the bead and without...all of the motifs have the center bead. I'm pretty disappointed.
Maybe they can send it back and make a few new motifs where the bead was not as specified. They already made the full necklace, so it's only a few motifs they need to re-make. I am sorry there was a glitch, but since it was documented in your order, I am sure VCA will fix it for you, and you are such as big client. The downside is you have to wait again which I know is super disappointing.
The design sounds wonderful, what a great idea. Can't wait to see it if you don't mind posting your SO piece, but certainly understand if not.

Yes. Or even make a new pair in exchange for the existing piece with top up. The earring should be with VCA London by today I hope
I am fine with whatever timeline they would propose, as long as they commit. I will place an order for the matching ring by the end of the year as well while it's still possible to MTO as there is literally no stock for this ring at all.
My SOs came in five and half months, after initially being told January 2023. They turned out beautiful so no complaints and I reasoned I get few extra months to enjoy them
