These are mine- my pic was not as clear as I had hoped for but there is no sign of any marks in any lighting. That may be why the original client did not take the earrings. Did your SA say anything about it? I agree w/TT, they should be perfect. View attachment 5129262

Thank you so much for posting these! I wanted to ask you to see some pics of yours, but didn't want to bother you. You read my mind. :) I didn't ask for the specific reason why they were rejected by the original purchaser but you might be right. Maybe she/he was bothered by the "commas" too. I do think that long term it would bother me and will have to return them. They are not that comfortable for me either.

By the way, if you already feel weight just trying them on, make sure your SA will allow you to return (I know VCA says credit only, but there are exceptions). My ears are sensitive, and I tried on Magic earrings. The weight after only an hour was annoying, and I knew I could not deal with them for even half a day. Just FYI to be sure you clear it with your SA you can return for a refund if they do not work out.

I do agree that Magic earrings take a bit of getting used to. For this larger size, I do use those stickers you put on the back of your earlobe to provide additional support so the earring sits upright on the ear. I have tiny earlobes and they are extremely sensitive and I have had no problems after I tried this on the suggestion of my SA. This also prevents any stretching out of your piercing. I also have them change all my earrings to the longer and skinnier posts, regardless of size. My ears are happy!

Can you provide either a link or a picture of the “stickers” you are referring to? Thanks!

Does anyone know if there has been a stop to the pre-approved items? I really want to add a GMOP 10 motif later this year or maybe in early 2022 to go with my 5 motif. Will I be okay to wait?

My understanding is that your chance of getting approved is higher if your piece is meant to be part of a collection you have going on. That is what I was told by my old SA several years ago.

Hi Violet Bleu. I was just in the boutique on 7/4 inquiring about a GMOP WG vintage 5 motif bracelet and it seemed doable. The SA didn't say anything about a stop to pre-approved SOs. That said, I thought I read something in one of these threads (sorry I can't find it now) where several people said they had tried to put in a SO request and were told by their SAs that VCA is holding off on SOs right now b/c of the backlog. If I find that thread, I'll let you know. :)

You know, I have not heard anything about SOs being declined, but it does seem subjective based on what everyone is posting here. I wonder if client history et al is being taken into consideration when being given information about SOs... My SA actually just reached out to me a few days ago asking if I would be interested in placing a specific combination that he knew I would like and had preapproved for me.

:shrugs:
