What’s the different between SO and MTO? Which one will attract surcharge?
I have a Perlee POG made in size 16 (small?) before which is not in the ready offer size. There was not 30% premium surcharge, is that deem SO or MTO?
I hv submitted a request to make sweet Alhambra earring in YG (no surcharge) and YG+blue agate (30% surcharge) to complete my blue set , again I don’t whether whether its deem SO or MTO.
Now I am considering to request for a 5 motif bracelet in GMOP RG, I wonder whether it’s SO or MTO and anyone has done that before and whether any surcharge ?
Thanks in advance !
Just wondering, did you mean Sweet Alhambra earrings in YG hammered has no extra fees for the SO/MTO?

yes u r right. Early last year I requested for a quote for sweet Alhambra earring in YG hammered and the price is the same as the regular RG hammered which is ready model. It is the blue agate version which I worked out it has a more than 30%+++ premium using the price of sweet Alhambra onyx as benchmark

Very interesting, I would’ve thought the YG hammered would’ve been with the MTO mark up but this is good to know! I hope all your SOs come soon!

Does any one know if VCA will restart the production of the magic Alhambra 2 motif MOP YG earrings or the magic Alhambra MOP studs?
I’m obsessed with them but I was told VCA has paused production.
Once orders are fulfilled, they will. I wanted to get the 2 motif, and I was still able to place an order. Texted my SA the next day and it turned red :( so I settled for the magic AlHambra
 
Thank you so much:heart: @Notorious Pink Do you have any outstanding SO pieces that you are waiting for?
Nope, no outstanding SO pieces, I’ve picked all of mine up. I supposed you have noticed that I haven’t posted them. I get the feeling that posting SO photos does a disservice to VCA for various reasons. Im not hiding them in particular, but i think right now it’s better for me to be circumspect wrt SO photos.

Congrats on having all your pieces done! Sad to hear we won't get to ogle at your new shinies, but I torally understand the hesitation to post em nowadays.

Do you mean the inevitable “why did they say no to me?” questions that people ask? Jealousy, resentments, like this whole HP debacle? I guess I don’t blame you. My general impression is that VCA is not super structured company that does not communicate or implement rules uniformly or universally. Before it became as popular as it is now, that didn’t matter that much. But now that so many more people want their pieces, this lack of structure and inconsistency in communications are coming back to bite them in the youknowwwhere. Congratulations and Hope you love and enjoy your pieces.

Thank you! I’m thrilled with my pieces, and you may catch a glimpse here and there (hey, I suppose I could post black and white pics), because I‘m wearing and enjoying them, so it’s not like I’m hiding anything away, it’s more that I’m not doing any big reveals for now. We’ll see; I just want to be respectful.

You’re always respectful.

I did notice that @Notorious Pink and I totally understand your reasons. :hugs:

I would love to see your SOs if you are comfortable sharing. I would think folks here would be happy to see them too. A number of us have gotten SOs this year and I believe they are back to accepting them widely (myself and a friend just prepaid for another round recently and neither of us are huge spenders).
