I received an email from Van Cleef if I want the book? Im new in VCA, is the book free? Will I get more books in the future even if I did not purchase in the future?
I think the one motif will be so much more versatile. Also, if you are a little leery of butterflies, definitely don’t choose that design
I see today that some people have a yellow box below their name that says O.G. What does that mean? (I probably will feel dumb when you tell me the answer, but off hand, I can't think what it stands for!)
It means Original Gangsters! I.e. the posters who have been members of tpf since the very beginning
Lol yes. I think one motif would be so lovely in either vintage or magic. I expressed my views on the butterfly earrings and my SA said he will order a pair in so I can have a look and try on in person. He cautioned, it will take a very long time for the earrings to come in.I think the one motif will be so much more versatile.

Lol! I have heard of that but couldn't quite see that phrase for this purpose! Thanks for answering!
I believe it’s a 10 marker as that’s when I received my OG.
10 year marker? I think you are right! I looked at several OG people's date of membership and it varied from 2006 to 2010! So apparently it is for 10 year members!
Do you know if ultrasonic is safe for porous material like MOP? Or onyx(if onyx Is porous)?I always clean my jewelry regularly, even before covid. At least once a week, I use an ultrasonic with warm water and a little dishwashing liquid for all my diamond pieces, including VCA. Clean diamonds sparkle a lot more. For the stone pieces, I only wipe them down after a day of wear. If I feel like they're particularly dirty, I would use warm water and a little soap. That's only once every 5-6 months. My eyesight is so poor that I can't really see the dirt anyway.
I don’t know. But it’s only diamonds, platinum and gold that I put in my ultrasonic. All the stone pieces are wiped. Personally I would not put any stone pieces in the ultrasonic. Too delicate.
MOP should not get wet, but I agree with EpiFanatic that I'd never put VCA stone pieces in an ultrasonic. I only use my ultrasonic for diamond with gold or platinum.
Here are some care instructions from VCA:

Would someone be willing to share their SA info for Canada (Vancouver or Toronto). I ordered my signature bangle online but now I want a MOP 5 motif bracelet and want to be able to view photos before buying. Any tips about buying MoP also appreciated

I am in Calgary so the only option is for me to order online or from an SA. I wonder if it’s better to go online even if it means some back and forth for the MOP. But if you could share your Vancouver SA name or contact info, that would really help
