Vancouver boutique tells me they cannot order. Did you order on line?

No, I bought in store back in early 2022 before all this craziness of low inventory, 100% prepayment with long wait times, etc. I was asked to put a 30% deposit and 4 weeks later it arrived at the store. If you check the Cdn website online, there is a lot stock not available. Yes, I heard that a lot of items can't be ordered now which is imo insane.

I would happily do that, but the boutique is not being helpful in that regard. Although it would have been nice to see if size S crosses over my Love 16.

To provide you with some context, it isn't the boutique's decision to prevent you from ordering. Rather, it is a directive from their Corporate office. The boutiques are provided a list of 'no ordering of the following items'. I am not sure why they would turn away customer's money though. I think it is a challenging environment to shop where there is no stock to try on and you can't even order the item you want.

I do remember the S being substantial larger than the XS. I have the XS and it would be similar to a size 15 in the Cartier Love.

I can help with sizing. I have XS Perlee and 16 Love. XS Perlee d'or is closer to size 16 Love than 15 Love, but it is slightly smaller than the 16 Love (more of a circle than oval as compared to the Love and compared to the Perlee Clover). I tried the Perlee d'or in small and it did cross over the Love 16 for me, but my 16 is not a tight fit, and they are more likely to cross when they are more loose fitting.

Yes you have given so much helpful info to me Nicole :)
Also- did they change the size labelling for the Perlee d'Or? It's now listed at 14,16,17,18 instead of XS, S, M, L. Even more confusing to me - does this mean there is a greater size difference between XS and S vs S and M or M and L? Lol.

Yes, the sizing has changed labels, but they are the same sizes as before. Once we get into the older Perlee clovers there was a size change over in actual size (old small is new xs). That is not relevant to you, but an FYI for members looking at older Preloved pieces to make sure of the actual size for a bracelet labeled "S".

Ha! I wish! I love the D'or, but no, if I'm recalling the pic @missie1 is mentioning, it was two D'or and two clovers; of which not all were mine (a girl can dream)....

Thanks for clarifying! I would love to see a photo of 4 d’Ors if anyone has that many!

Come to think of it, I may remember you may have those gorgeous larger-beaded brackets, right? If so, I love those!
