Requested a raspberry porcelain vintage Alhambra bracelet yesterday. The request is being sent to Paris so hopefully it will get approved. Haven’t decided if it will be WG or RG yet. He said let’s work on getting stone approved and go from there.

It would be wonderful if they start approving more stones not in the permanent collection! In the past they have been declined, but there are always a few exceptions. This one will be popular if they start approving it and I am sending you all of the luck!

Thanks. I’m new to VAn Cleef so I had no idea about all the fabulous stones that I had missed. I think they should definitely allow in permanent collection. I figured it doesn’t hurt to ask ...all they can say is no.

Absolutely! Things can always change as well, so if someone asks every now and then about items of common interest, it is the only way we will know if they start being approved.

I requested the necklace and VA bracelet about 2 years ago at the height of my VCA spending and got declined. Everything else I have wanted to SO has been approved. I would love to know if they have changed their minds about this in particular! I think I read they lost their porcelain manufacturer here recently?

Just one more thing to think about - I loooooove GMOP and it's fine on me, but its not my best stone. That's why I'm ordering PG Onyx (20 motif all onyx, 3 motif earrings with the middle motif pave, 5 motif alternating pave). I don't disagree with the all-stone version being bolder, but for me it's also a huge price difference ($15k or $60K???), but that's also why I would do the alternating bracelet (and it would look so good attached to the 20 worn doubled with the alternating part up front at my neck and the rest of the motifs worn long). I like the way both look, but I have the alternating 10 (and with the Guilloche it's just different kinds of sparkly). With all this said I looooove @jenaywins ' pieces, they are absolutely stunning and if gmop works on you, you should go for it!!!

Also I've in zoomed on that last photo and the alternating bracelet is not onyx. It's a blue stone, lapis or porcelain. Gorgeous either way!

OHMYGOSH! I am not sure why I haven't considered this. Thank you!! I have been trying to add more RG in my stack lately and I think a RG/onyx 5 motif would be perfect!

I just SO the onyx rg bracelet yesterday so it will be here by Christmas. I find this combination so much softer than the onyx and gold combination.

Congratulations!! I can't wait to see it. Can I ask how long you waited for approval? I've waited at least 2 months already and nothing. My SA says I'm not the only person still waiting.

I’m still waiting on BA vintage earrings approval from early May. Maybe the non preapproved list requests are taking longer? Would love if anyone else could chime in!

Nice! You must be the lucky lady my SA was telling me about. He said, "You'll never believe this, but I had someone order the exact combo just yesterday!"

I've been waiting for about a month now on Sweet Onyx/WG approval. I've never had Paris take this long. Usually it's a week, tops.
