Temple St. Clair fans, let’s share our favorites!

Hi guys, I am happy to join you all here.
I see some fellow VCA gals too. YAY. I am trying to stay focused on my VCA orders and what I am working on. I took a small Cartier detour. Haha

I LOVE the Amulet and really want one, I just want to be able to get the chain at the same time and they are crazy pricey. I should avoid this tread, lol. I have a nice wish list going.

Yes, the chains are pricey but you only need one to wear with as many amulets as you add to your collection.

Here’s my Arno chain with one of my favorite amulets — straight from the cover of Alchemy. This amulet needs a sturdy chain because let me tell you, it’s VERY heavy.

For those of you pondering the purchase of Menagerie, if you like seeing her museum pieces and enjoy reading about her creative process, it’s worth it. I tend to purchase her animal-themed pieces, so it was a must have.

This is gorgeous!!

I actually don't have a Bloomie's credit card, although I probably should open one. I just signed up for their loyallist program and saw the emails with promo codes--they exclude a lot of brands but not TSC. I believe Saks will match btw. F&F did not apply to TSC last year but did the year before and they let you apply promos on top of it, which was wild. Last year they did $100 off every $300 but if you apply promo, it was a little less, like $50. I'll msg you his card.

That's an amazing deal and too good to pass up!

Welcome! I got tired of waiting for new stock at VCA and decided to pursue my love of TSC!

We’ve recently been discussing buying from Bloomingdale’s or Saks when they have gift card sales or other sales. Bloomingdale’s has one through the 7th where they’ll give you gift cards worth 25% of the purchase price. Then you can use that toward another purchase. You just have to sign up for their Loyallist program (no credit card required). If you sign up for emails, they send you a 15% off coupon that you can use for one order. It really is nice to get any discount!

Oh, and here is the owl ring we were talking about! Really a work of art!

Thank you for posting these. I am going to make a pot of tea and watch all of them. That ring!!

I understand about VCA ! I just placed an order for earrings ,paid 50% deposit and they will maybe take 1 year!!
It is frustrating, but I know I for sure want it and need to be patient.

These promos are great! I am going to call my local bloomies and see what they have in store. I will ask for pics!!
Funny, I am in purge mode and that includes emails. I just unsubbed from a ton of promo emails. Bergdorf's, Saks etc. Bloomies was included! I need to try in person and see how everything works with my current jewelry.

Ok, so I spoke to my local Bloomies. The promos are instore as well.
I am very very close to the store and can go there and try on some things. I will get there this weekend and take some pics for you guys!
Let's see if I find a good SA there too.

In the meantime, I will share pics that I received from TSC! I contacted them seeking information about some products (including the classic round and classic oval chains) and they sent me several pictures. @DS2006 - based on your wants, I think the classic round sounds like a good fit.

Most of the pics I'm attaching show the classic round chain with 1 of the Astrid amulets. In the pics showing the layered chains, I believe the round is the shorter one (round = 18" and oval = 24").

Oh, lucky you to have a Bloomies nearby! Yes, we would love pics!!! (I hear you on unsubscribing from all the junk emails! I am keeping Bloomies until I finish my little set of that!)

What VCA earrings did you order?!

These are super helpful! Thank you! It's so hard to tell in some of their amulet pictures which chain is which! I have conflicting feelings, because I love the oval chain but don't want to overwhelm medium amulets, either. That medium Tolomeo is so pretty!

Yes, I have a ton of high end stores here! I see them daily! Very dangerous.
I ordered the Large Frivole in YG, I had them and needed them back and now they are only on order and very htf! I missed them so much. I love Frivole. The other piece I will begetting is the large clip pendant .That will be my YG Frivole set. I will wear my guilloche bracelet with the set .
I am going to Cartier on Friday and will pop in BD after. Sad thing is there is not much of a good sales force there for fine jewelry.

My one ear closed up during the pandemic and I went to get a small set of 18k YG Roberto Coin studs to wear 24/7. I had to wait days for someone to be at the counter. I just did a online store pick up and the store lost the earring's. I am not confident in this location with being a good fit for me trying on stuff. We will see.

I LOVE large yellow Frivole but have never had the chance to try them on! I did try the small ones about a year ago (had them sent to my home), but they were a little too small. I am afraid to order the large without trying some on. I'll look forward to seeing yours and hope they come sooner than expected!

Yes, that's a little scary about them losing the earrings!!! Maybe they are better staffed by now (hopefully!!)!

It's good I don't live near a lot of high end stores!!! However, occasionally it is such a pain not to have certain ones!!!

I talked to the NYC Bloomingdale's SA this morning and he said that discounts don't stack with Loyallist gift cards as some of you have said. He said TSC should be included in F&F but they don't know yet what the discount will be this year. The best news is that they can still obtain anything TSC has in stock, if not on the website, and the sale prices or gift cards will apply (this worked for Etoupebirkin in the fall). So Bloomies is definitely a perfect place to buy especially since the Loyallist deals don't require a CC.

Oh, and they have added some of the chains back to the site. Maybe they were out of them temporarily.

Ahh this is amazing news and F&F! Thanks for the update ! I wonder if you can pick the day you buy as triple Loyallist pts day lol...I should really just get a Bloomies CC. Did he say you can apply the promos through him bc the emails I get say they can only be used online?

I hope he's right that F&F will still apply to TSC this year! As I understand it (I asked), the points will not triple the points in a sale like this one. It will apparently triple the basic, everyday Loyallist points. I'd likely only buy when there is a sale or gift card sale, so I likely won't ever use those 2 triple point days. He said this particular Loyallist gift card sale for fine jewelry can be obtained through him as it works in the store, too. I suppose there may be certain discounts that are online only or in-store only. I just told him he could definitely notify me of any sales that apply to TSC. He was very nice! I appreciate the referral!

Thanks for this info, @DS2006 ! So nice that you can place orders through him and get the gift card!

@smile10281 - thank you for sharing the pictures.

Check out Saks’ website. A lot of pieces tilted “pre-order”. Looks to truly be new TSC pieces.

I went to Bloomingdale’s in Short Hills today. I exchanged the Roberto Coin chain for TSC’s 24” beehive chain. Inventory was disappointingly low. Many pieces that I had on my mental wishlist from when I was there in November were gone. The SA did say the TSC rep is in about once a month and will bring pieces a customer requests. Sort of like a trunk show. But you need to go that day. Rep won’t leave them at Bloomingdale’s. If you buy a piece from the “trunk show”, current promos would work. I wasn’t sure if they would consider it special order and exclude it from the promo saying the promo applies to in-store inventory only. Hope that info helps.

Oh, the beehive chain is so pretty! It's disappointing for the inventory to be low, though. If there is a piece you know you want, you may want to try to call any of the NYC Bloomingdale's, because they seem to be able to get pieces from TSC (if they have them in stock) and honor the sale price. I assume you have to pay for the item for them to get it in. The SA told me today it did not have to be an item on the site. I have not attempted to try this yet, but at some point I will because there are a couple of items I want that they don't list.

Yes, I did see the new pre-order items at Saks! It's good to see new things coming in, but I am very much hoping they will get more of existing stock in, too!
