Nope. They told me early 2022. Still the timeline.

I have been told that my SO has been approved but have not yet received a quote (has been months!). I am mentally preparing not to receive it (if at all!) until end of next year.
My SA says it’s just a matter of waiting, as many others are in my situation too… crazy how we are near begging to give VCA our money and they are like, maybe later…!
GMOP magic earrings rosegold hardware.
Just got offered a SO yellow gold/diamond Socrate BTF ring that’s exactly my size! Was told that the person who special ordered this ring couldn’t come to US to pick it up due to pandemic. This ring has been on my wishlist among many other items, but because I‘m not a big fan of the regular white gold/diamond version it wasn‘t one of my top priorities. Now I get to have a special piece without having to wait

After checking with my SA last week to confirm the Nov timeline, she just texted me today to let me know she’s going to have my SO tomorrow. We are ahead of the schedule by 2 months.
Yesssss! So excited for you. Do you mind sharing what you ordered? Modeling pic encouraged. Thank you.
Yay! I think they're starting to roll in. My SA just told me a piece I ordered in late April is ready also! On the other hand, a SO I requested at the same time not in the pre-approval book is still outstanding for a decision and I just submitted another one that is not in the book. It kind of peeves me that I do not have an answer yet and this SO is ready. They're supposed to be worn at the same time. My SA did say that they are stopping letting anyone without a 'significant purchase history' request SOs. Whatever that means. VCA is trying to make it a special process again.
You're lucky! When did you submit? I have been waiting since April-ish to hear even an approval. You're like me, "TAKE MY MONEY!"

Thank you!
I SO the 5 motifs RG GMOP bracelet. It is still with my SA as sizing is needed. I can't wait to receive it. We are hoping I would get it by next week, and will definitely take some pictures.May I know the price for this RG GMOP bracelet? Hopefully, my SA would order one for me. Thanks!Thank you!
I submitted probably around… April or May? Heard in June (?) that it’s approved but thus far no quote. It’s all a bit hazy as it just seems like an interminable drama!Yay!

Yes, there is a specific dollar amount of spend in your history to qualify you for a SO (not sure if that also applies to “MTO”, i.e. the designs which are in the preapproved list).
I think the exact amount may vary from country to country, but I believe it would be the equivalent of around USD 100,000. If a customer does not yet qualify, I believe the SA would just decline outright rather than send the request to HQ for vetting.
In case it helps anyone, I was able to get an MTO approved as my very first purchase (so $0 spend history)
I had to prepay 50%.
