There is a lady at NM VCA that always has a few motif necklaces layered and I've seen them several times- mop, turquoise, malachite, lapis etc.
Last time she had on the BTF pave lotus ring.

Also when I was in St Martin the SA had on a 20 motif and matching earrings and a ton of other designer jewelry on. I went back a few days later and she had on a different set of VCA. She said she owned 2 Chanel J12 watches. So I wonder if she bought them long ago when they were 'cheaper', gets paid very well, gets a super discount, or just can naturally afford these piceces. We chatted about VCA and I got the impression she owns more pieces and doesn't borrow them.

I do have to say it's nice seeing pieces modeled. I would love to work with fine jewelry as a part time job. Talking about it with other people who know about jewelry/designers is fun too.

Hello to all,

I have a question about the Neiman Marcus spring trend promotion which Available online and in stores 02/06-02/07/13, it's like spending some amount on NM credit card, you'll get gift card. Does anybody know VCA is included this time? I searched the forum, it seems it's included in similar event in year 2011. How long will it take to get approved for a NM credit card if I go into a store. I just ordered a 10 motif necklace in NM store and I charged it on my american express card. I haven't received it yet. I'm wondering if I can open a new NM card and let them recharge it on my NM card, so I can qualify the promotion. Thank you for any help.

VCA is never included in the gift card events, only Incircle. If you have a NM card you can use your double points of your choosing (once a year). I am pretty sure you also get 5,000 points for opening a NM card. They also offer no interest deferred equal payments which is nice if you don't want to pay it all at once.

I've been told by VCA Chicago and NYC that they are not allowed to borrow the jewelry. I was told that they couldn't sell it as new if it had been worn.

I've always wondered if that was really true.:thinkin:

I was sold a used Frivole ring from NYC if anyone remembers, the sa said it was used on a photo shoot and stretched to make it bigger, that is why it had scratches...ect.

I know sa's wear the stuff, one store pulled earrings out of her ears, cleaned them off and had be try them on.
It is done everywhere, clothing, jewelry..ect.

It often is not included, but I thought it was included in the one last November?

That seems like the right rule to have but it also probably depends on the store..
My dear sa was sporting one my necklaces before I bought it.

I went in to VCA today, they're going through a renovation for the next 9 months. The store is less than half of its original size. The SAs don't all have desks so they have to rotate.

So anyway, I purchased the pink/RG butterfly necklace. I paid for it and then left it for them to add 2" to it, so I have to wait a week to go pick it up, sigh...

Pics to come next week!
