Does anyone know how hard it is to get a custom size? I want to purchase another btf butterfly, not right now but soon, and they don't have any sizes (UK Site) for the one i want. I emailed the customer service asking if for future reference, how would i go about doing that. I didn't get an actual answer to that qx. So any ladies that had their size out of stock, did you get it custom made?
I was quoted several months last time I ordered, arrived in a month or two, do not recall exactly but much sooner than promised.
Interested in another piece now, told would arrive in 6 months.
 
Good morning ladies... do you know if the guilloche is a limited piece or will it be part of the permanent collection? Thank you!
Hi Dear! I was told that it is intended to be permanent but they are having trouble with the demand. I was also told that I should buy now/think later in case that “permanent” isn’t really permanent due to manufacturing challenges. While that could be a sales tactic, it would be very uncharacteristic of my wonderful SA. Nonetheless, I didn’t need an excuse as I bought the full set as soon as I could...LOL!

The alternating pave 20 motif that @Notorious Pink is considering and @911snowball just bought/modeled is incredibly beautiful too (but would crush my college fund...Oops:smile:)

These were my concerns exactly!! Hopefully the guilloche/pave 5 motif bracelet will still be around next year!

I've heard exactly this as well.
Congrats Hopiko~
Horrah!

I got told the same thing today too. It is not from the SA I deal with as she wasn’t in today, I don’t think it is a sales tactic as I told him I put down a deposit for the guilloche last month to be picked up in Nov (my bday month and my first VCA! So exciting!)

Really hope there be a piece available for me if it does become limited or even stop production

Hi,
I have another dilemma!
I have Frivole pave earrings in YG and MOP+ Guilloche - vintage earrings, bracelet, Perlee clover ring. I am thinking about getting the Frivole BTF ring next. Do I get the ring in mirror polish or pave in YG? Mirror polish - easier to wear everyday, isn't matchy matchy with the Frivole pave
Pave - very blingy and stunning.
Which one should I go for?
Thanks!

I am in similar situation - have yg pave frivoles. I have decided to get the mirror btf frivole ring. I found it more stunning than the pave version. I think it is due to the double flower - the pave version makes it hard to see it is 2 flowers to my eye. I also want it for daily wear since I wear my earrings a lot and the pave is a bit too bling for daily wear since my hand feels more visible. I am instead going to get another pave ring - undecided but would consider the lotus as a special occations piece.
You can’t go wrong though - both are gorgeous.

I would go for the plain YG—I think it looks amazing this way on the finger and would make it more wearable. The pave one feels like a special-occasion only ring. The mirror finish is so gorgeous and would diversify your collection. Are you planning on wearing them together or separately?

Thanks for the replies.
@nycmamaofone and @lynne_ross - I plan on them wearing on a regular basis including work. I won't be wearing them with the pave Frivole for work though. For special occasions, I can wear them together but not be too matchy as well.
