They send you flowers, chocolate, champagne, special handmade candles, mooncakes, high end handmade crystal vases, porcelain trays etc on special occasions like your b'day, Xmas etc.

Also, at the boutique, they should have served you champagne and something to nibble on too, when you visited. I've had chocolate, macarons, Chinese dim sums, artisan cookies etc. Or maybe because yours is in Harrods, they don't do this (dunno really).

Side note: you are a vampire!! Isn't still very early in London? lol!

Hahaha and you don’t sleep like ever? :P My back is starting to give out as I progress with this baby bun growing so yeah, just 4 hours of sleep for me :(
Yeah in harrods it’s a choice of water and ... that’s about it! I did get about £1k in points though, so I forgive them although macaroons could be a nice gesture...
i want cake now.... hahahaa

back in the day I think gifting was more standard, I remember my mom once received tickets for a Polo game in south of France gifted to her by Hermes, now that’s a present and a half...
Max I ever got was getting drunk in Rolex and a leather cardholder... I really sell myself short lol

And I don't drink but I've had friends who came with me offered several glasses of champagne. Or maybe it's bc you're preggie that they didn't offer you champagne (?).

I don’t know what shade your 20 carnelian is, but i think over time you will regret having just a monochrome collection. A pop of colour is a good addition to your growing collection and should be kept (only my opinion). But also it mixes well with onyx for a more dramatic look!
I absolutely get you about the combining 2 10s, I just feel that seeing a clasp would bother me too..
Now let’s talk about a real issue here... gifts! What gifts from VCA are we talking about!? Cause I sure do love gifts - where are mine? I was just happy to be sat down on a comfy sofa but gifts are involved?????:lol::graucho::coolio:

cartier has only given me the gift of comping me a $2,000 watch repair service in which i had to have the diamond crown replaced. a 2,000 gift is nice but also kind of not as it was their own service? i dont know....not as impressed with them as VCA

Oh yes, on this note, because my SA knows I don't drink, she's always offering to give me perfumes. But I no longer wear perfumes either! lol

Same here. Cartier in SG has NEVER sent me any gifts. They've invited me to 2 lousy events. VCA has always invited me to events, including the 5-day extravaganza in Sydney last year which I couldn't attend due to illness. I was also supposed to attend the event in Paris this month but of course that got cancelled due to Covid.

And Cartier doesn't offer you champagne either. You'd have to actually ask for it.

you bought a lotus ring and they didn't give you a present!?

i agree monochrome would not be a complete collection. but i also dont want to choose color just to have it. options for me are 1) new shade of carnelian that's brighter and more red than brown/orange 2) hammered yellow gold 3)malachite

i own the coat in my avatar and am imagining the model wearing red, gold, or green as if it were me.
