Wow! You got that approved? I had been trying for years (long time collector) and have been denied several times for WG but I was offered yellow.
Not all turquoise, they are only approving diamond and turquoise. The piece came in WG and wanted to keep it too but didn't even get the chance too. So we are still waiting for the YG we ordered. Also in between was offered the 20 motif turq and diamond as well as lapis and diamond and turned them down as we had our high jewelry piece and the 10 coming in. In hindsight, should have just picked both up as well.

Sorry to be incredibly dense, but your ten motif is all TQ set in YG? That would be a dream!! Like you, I’ve passed on the 20 lapis/pave and TQ/pave. I don’t regret the lapis, but now wish I had said yes to the TQ. Oh well, we saved a lot of $$. Which my husband will point out has been spent on other things :giggle:

Was turquoise and pave diamonds, not all turquoise, we asked several times and they won't do full turquoise as they don't have enough stones. I guess if someone is willing to buy a crazy amount of items they may do it but we have not heard it done for anyone we are aware of recently. It was hard enough just to get my wife her turquois earrings which we hear is just as hard for them to approve. i do regret not buying the 20 motif pave/turq... But we just got the folie de pres necklace and ring

@A W congratulations on what sounds like a stunning collection. I would love to see mod shots of any pieces that you feel like sharing, especially the Folie des Pres, as so few people have this. Thank you!
 
Understand. But for the price point i would prefer the diamonds to sparkle more than the guilloche! The way she was showing it off in natural sunlight just made it blah for me. To each their own!
As beautiful as it is, I can't help feeling that pace and guilloche compete with each other . I do love them separately or alternating with a stone motif.

Agree with you. I wish on my endless list (it isn’t a list anymore but an entire book 📖 !) to get one day an all paved bracelet. And a guilloché bracelet of course 🤭

I remember the first time I saw the guilloche bracelet on a sales associate and I was smitten by its beauty!
Right now I just have the guilloche/carnelian but maybe one day the all gold one.

Thanks for the clarification. I was getting carried away thinking all TQ might happen for someone somewhere. Congratulations on the folie des pres; they are gorgeous. Are the positions of the flowers in the necklaces/bracelets fixed or are they able to move?
 
How about the sweet alhambra in any stone?
I am planning to ask for this when special orders resume (if I still qualify; I have heard murmurs that the qualifications will be be higher for prespend and have more requirements than just prespend amount, but official details still unknown), my SA says it is possible but SOs had already closed by the time I asked last year, so no way to know what Paris will say. In general, the closer you stick to an item that is already available in the regular line, the more likely it is to be approved.

A sales manager in NYC told me last week they might ease back into SO’s with high jewelry? But since no one really knows when they’ll resume or what the new prespend threshold will be, it’s like guessing what’s the next holiday pendant. Both fun to speculate about!
