Not that I'll be able to place a SO anytime soon, but curious to know when you place a SO with natural stones like carnelian or chalcedony, do you get to tell them if you prefer the stones to be in a certain shade or pattern?
Yes you can, but they usually respond with the disclaimer that they will do their best but that Paris will ultimately choose the best stones to suit the creation.
My wife's SO 6 motifs Malachite necklace arrived this week after 2 months or so. The markup on this piece was more than I expected.
Despite the mark up, this is beautiful. Congratulations to her.
It's around %50 more expensive than the YG MoP/Onyx version.so beautiful! I'm a fan of malachite
do you mind sharing the markup, percentage-wise?
Unfortunately malachite isn't normally available for the 6 motifs so there is no base price to compare with.
This sounds correct, with the markup for a more expensive stone (this would also happen if you had chosen white gold) + 0-45% special order fee (unpredictable). It is worth it, I am considering the 16 motif magic in malachite!
Gorgeous, hope she will enjoy!
Couldn't help but to also note the short lead time here.. wild. My SA text me today to let me know that my SO that I literally requested on September 6th was in and being sent to me overnight. Yet now, she said she can't get *anything* approved for *anyone* .... really strange.
So crazy! I also feel like approval/timing/cost changes vastly every time I ask! So excited for you to get your latest special creationGorgeous, hope she will enjoy!
