Wow, what a mess and totally stressful! Sorry to hear about your crazy ordeal. It's like a comedy of errors almost to torture you. You poor thing. But now you have it and all is better? Hope you're trying them all on and enjoying the excitement of receiving your first VCA purchase. Can't wait to see your mod shots!

Yes, dessert1st. I finally have everything. Haven't tried anything on yet. Still trying to not be mad. My husband didn't want me to buy any VCA pieces (he doesn't understand :rolleyes:) He thought I was crazy from buying such high cost pieces from a company in another state sight unseen from people I haven't met before. So with this ordeal, he's looking at me like "I told you so." :shucks:

Trust me, you are going to LOVE these earrings !!!
Did you buy the small or the large?
You can't go wrong with either.
Have you seen them featured in the latest NM catalogue?

The large and you are so right! Now I want the necklace...it never ends does it? I am just concerned if the flowers stay upright or if they tend to flip over. I will need to go try it on and then start saving my pennies again. I think the Frivole earrings and necklace would be really beautiful together.

Ladies, what is usual wait for special order at NM VCA?
i purchased a frivole pendant before price increase. SA told me it is a special order and have no idea when it will arrive. Which sounds likes it will take a long long time.
What is your experience with special order?

You can use Lobe wonder for added support.

Four to six months is the norm but I've had it take longer. My most recent experience was that I ordered a pair of earrings at the beginning of December and got them last week.

I tried on vintage alhambra one-motif in WG diamonds today! It was very very sparkly!!! I also tried on the JUCs. They looked really great with Perlee Signature. I cannot decide!!!!!

The earrings fit perfectly on my ear lobe. I will try the lobe wonder though for extra support. Thanks for the suggestion. I was more curious about the Frivole 9 flower necklace if those flowers flip around.

I order from Harrods in London
I have waited as long as 14 months for some things and as little as 3 months for others.
My latest special order a rose gold magic ring was about 7 months .
Hope yours arrives quickly :-)
