Yes, my SA told me the same thing as well. Richemont group owns many brands: Lancel, Montblanc, Chloe, Cartier…..and many others. I remember there are only a few states that Richemont group does not have a boutique.

If you buy from the Naples store in FL you do not have to pay sales tax regardless if your state carries vca. That's where I order from.......unless things have changed in the last yr. worth giving them a call

Hello ladies. I am planng on getting the onyx yg vintage 5 motif bracelet. I was wondering if the onyx comes in different shades like the other stones. If so, what shade should I ask the SA to ship to me?

I've also been debating btwn the small perlee hoops or the sweet studs. Right now I am leaning more towards the studs bc the store I deal with have the hinge closure instead of the pushbacks.

So I can't decide on the color for the sweets.

I currently own 10 motif and 5 motif in mop yg, 5 motif yg, 5 motif carnelian, and small yg grivole earring clips.

Should I get the yg sweets or the onyx sweets to match the bracelet I plan on purchasing? I ruled out mop sweets since I own a couple of pearl studs in different sizes that I could wear with my mop set. Tia

Both Cartier and VCA are owned by Richemont. They own other brands too. My guess is there is a cartier in MA, therefore you have to pay sales tax.

I remember Grace Kelly's malachite at the exhibit, that's what drew me to wanting it so much. I saved this pic from her collection. I thought I had posted it before, but I can't find it.

Tortoiseshell, coral and malachite, what an amazing collection!!

Great pics Bethc, I really like the tortoiseshell. Also, the green in her malachite seems so much more intense than mine, but if it darkens over time than that could be why. I think that is what I read a few pages back. The coral is stunning.

welcome lebagfairy. hope you find a lighter malachite like you wanted. don't worry about dirtying the mop, as long as you wipe it with a microfiber cloth and don't do yard work with it, should be fine. i always wipe mine down with water and cloth after each wear.

Thanks jssl1688 I decided it's better just to wear them and stop worrying so much so hopefully I can enjoy them more!

Thanks for sharing your experience! Would you still recommend MOP bc of its color change?
I really like the lively mop but do not like to know it change color in years.

sarahll, I would still recommend it. I think the color looks just a little less white over the years but its it not too noticeable, also it is still so beautiful and the sheen on the mop is always so lovely. Even though I am very picky about scratches/color/durability, I still got the 20 motif necklace and earrings in MOP for that reason. I also think MOP is such a classic VCA look and other people's MOP that they have owned for years on the forum look great.
