Supposedly -I was in selfridges Manchester exchange square today and that's what sa said :(
I thought there was one on the cards - why, have you heard a different date?

Ugh. I was chatting to a SA in Manc Selfridges, asked her outright if they were expecting a price increase and she said she didn't think so because they hadn't been told about any. This was a couple of weeks ago, just before the US one.

Sounds like I need to hurry up and order my birthday present. Thanks for mentioning that!

P.S. I think that the lapis one is the nicest bean that T&Co do.

I think I'm going to ring them tmrow and double check the price increase - maybe she said that to try to get me to buy but she did sound very convincing about the price increase!
Thanks re your comment about the bean - to be honest I wish I hadn't seen it. I bought a love bracelet recently and promised myself I wouldn't get anymore jewelry for a while - ahem, I have no self control!!

Ooo - what are you getting from tiffany for your bday? :graucho:

If you see someone buying a lapis bean at selfridges,say hello - it's likely to be me ;)

I thought the no price increase thing was too good to be true, tbh. But if you do find out more then please post back with any info.

Even if don't buy the bean, you should at least take a modelling pic and post it here :laugh:

I fancy an everyday necklace with a little bit of a sparkle and I'm leaning towards something like the Metro horseshoe one. I considered a BDTY until I realised that I actually have a 1.5 ct stone which could be re-set into a pendant and would be more impressive :graucho:

Love the horseshoe pendant! Happy bday for whenever it is. I have a bday towards end of July - if I do buy the lapis bean, that's how I'll justify it... An early bday present for me :laugh: and if we do buy before the price increase then we are actually 'saving' money (that's my conscience trying to justify haha)
 
In case Anyone is interested I rang tiffanys today. The price rise in uk is going to be in effect in 5 working days!
The sa told me a nice story about lapis lazuli - apparently cleopatra used to wear crushed lapis as eye make up. Well that's me sold - if it's good enough for cleopatra it's good enough for me :)

Sa also said this necklace is available in 9mm and 15 mm.

I ended up buying the lapis bean. Hope these photos upload ok.
The bean is a beautiful shiny bright royal blue which I cant really photograph with my iphone.

The more I look at this necklace, the more I love it. :smile1:
