I asked, only yg for this collection
Well, less temptation for me, then. Thank you!
Any confirmation on a price increase for march? I was wanting to get the sweet clover studs for m-day but may get them earlier if there is an increase soon.
Can't decide btwn mop or onyx. I am Asian with long black hair. Do u think the onyx will get lost when worn? TIA.

Our SA said 1 Mar but I haven't heard anyone else here say the same yet so uncertain.
I think either pair would look really good with black hair. Can't go wrong with either!
I have both the sweets in onyx and mop and too have long, dark hair. I think the mop are more subtle because they blend in more with my skin but will match anything. I wear onyx when I want a little more pop.

This pair was a part of London Selfridges' limited edition series for its opening back in 2011. I was so excited to hear about it, as I love emerald greens and want everything in emeralds. I had wired the deposit to Selfridges to secure a pair, as I was nowhere near London and had no prospects of going there any time soon. Since the deposit came in 3 payments, the British banking system alerted the authorities, and my deposit was frozen for several weeks! Finally, it went through and the pair was secured for me. It took another 9 months for me to be able to go to London, and I finally picked them up. Sadly, as soon as I arrived in the hotel, I noticed a crack in one of my the motifs. So I went back to Selfridges (Selfridges has exceptional customer service!) and they took it in for repair. They said that once the repair was done, it would be forwarded to my local boutique in San Francisco. I wait for many months, and the earring is still not returned to me. So I call Selfridges and they said the earring was back in London! LOL!Paris sent it back to London instead of forwarding to SF. Then there was this whole drama about how Selfridges can't mail it to me in SF because I would have to pay customs duties as high as $1000 USD. So it stayed in London, and now I have finally picked them up!
They are beautiful!! So glad they are finally in your hands
I took a picture to show the length when doubled. It's not a good picture, but I think it is good enough for this purpose!
I measured the length of the chain alone and it is almost 35 1/2 inches.
There are two places where the clasp can be attached-- one at the full length of the chain, and the second allows you to shorten the chain by about 3 1/4 inches.
I emailed my SA today and she said they haven't heard of a price increase and usually get a 3-4 week heads up.
