Does it really bother you? If so, I'd suggest that the next time she does this, reply with "please, call me -----" (whatever your name is). If she does, great; if not, there is not much else you can do - she is trying to be respectful, or maybe it is something they request that the staff do.

Hi BBC,
It doesn't really bother me to much, I just feel the relationship is more formal than I would like. However I do think that maybe it is store policy my SA is also the manager of the store on Bond Street so I guess maybe she has to be formal. I will get the chance to meet her in person next week for the first time so maybe after that I could ask her. I have a box of Marc de Champagne truffles to take with me for her as a thank you with her help buying my first few pieces. She chose some gorgeous MOP for me :)

I think it's about once a year. my SA mentioned that last year the price of gold was so high but it has come down since so hopefully no price increase soon. But it's a given that they creep up. for example I think a 20 motif was about 12K around 4 years ago and now I think it's around 17K. Who needs money market funds when you can buy VCA?

Thanks for sharing. It seems like I always get on the bandwagon late in the game but still glad to be here regardless.

I visited the VCA NYC store last week and tried on the vintage Alhambra pendant necklace in MOP. Loved it and the larger sized earrings that match. However, they don't look great together. Too….much going on. For those that have the MOP pendant, what earrings do you wear with it. I like to feel put together, if you know what I mean…but not matchy. Appreciate the feedback!

I am visiting the boutique next week for the same reason, well that is once of the reasons. I have read on here that the frivole earrings look good with the alhambra pendants and I am sure others will advise soon.

OMG - I did an incredibly impulsive thing today! I was picking up my malachite bracelet (which I was told was the ONLY) one that came in (oh please, that seems a bit daft). And I asked to try on the malachite Magic pendant -- always thinking ahead to my next dream purchase. But I bought it! Yikes! My pathetic logic was, well I 'm going to get it someday and we all know how the prices keep going up, right? Ha! Why postpone joy, right?

I would love to know how you like this piece... I'm thinking of the pink gold long necklace w boxwood and wondering how it hangs/looks/wears long vs short... Thanks!

Ladies,
Can someone remind me please when NM Jewlery gift card event usually happens (the one that includes VCA)?
Is it twice a year?
Can you immediately apply the gift card towards your VCA purchase?
Thank you in advance!

I would love to know this too...I heard they were not going to allow VCA to be included any longer but if anyone has any details please share. Thx

There are no gift card events per se anymore at Neimans. However, there are triple point days that in the past have included VCA purchases. Personally, I like triple points days because you get credit for your entire purchase, not in $2,500 or $5K increments.
