Oh I have been out of the forum for far too long!! I've missed you ladies, but work is just so busy at the moment, I can barely fit in time to study, let alone browse on the net!
themgdinosaur, hello!!! That ring is so beautiful, I love it! I am quite taken with Frivole, I will certainly be checking it out in Paris.
Now I leave on Tuesday (assuming I don't pass out from stress at work) and I will be in the VCA boutique probably on either Wednesday or Thursday, trying on far too much jewellery! I will let you all know how everything goes!

Whoo hoo! Have a wonderful trip! You have to let us know everything when you get back!
Hi everyone,
My DH just bought me a Vintage Alhambra WG Turquoise Bracelet as my birthday present. I found there's 2 motifs have a very small gap between the edge & Turquoise. It is not a very big gap (I think they are less than 1mm) but can see if looking them a bit closer. I took the bracelet to the boutique in the next day, the SA said it's handmade so it cannot be perfect. Then, I left my bracelet in the boutique for shorten the length.
After going back home, I see the video in their website of how's the motif made. I find that they emphasize their excellent workmanship & the very detailed quality control. I think that's the reason they sell their products in such high price. The more I think & the more I see in their website making me a bit confused about these gaps are acceptable or not.
I don't have any pictures to show how big are the gaps since it's keeping in the boutique now. Do you gals think these gaps are acceptable? Do you think they will exchange other one for me if it's been shortened?
A bit upset about it right now
! Please help & thank you very much!

I personally would call VCA and say thanks for making it shorter, but while its in the shop, can you please give me another one, I cannot live with the gap, its a present from DH after all. Just imo.
If its not noticeable, I would take it, but things like this can bug some people, so its understandable.
I love this picture!!!
