Sounds strange. I am guessing maybe the posts are not on properly?
Re the bracelet, just keep trying on different pieces (with and without pave) and see how you feel?

Yes thinking about it the post on the lopsided one felt too low...
The guilloche is different to me because the motifs are very shiny and brilliant themselves. So if I were buying that one, I'd be fine with all guilloche. I have the lapis and pave, and I think it is far more outstanding with the pave motifs. I have a friend with the onyx pave bracelet, and it is outstanding, too. I love all the current stone bracelets with the pave motifs, unfortunately.
The all guilloche is beautiful alone, although I am sure it is also beautiful with the pave.
I would get all guilloche since it’s so unique and shiny. Save the diamonds for another piece! I wish guilloche came in white gold or rose gold
My guess about the lopsided earrings despite your symmetrical piercings is that one earring post was positioned in the lower hole option and the other post was in the higher hole option. Otherwise perhaps one post was not screwed in all of the way, causing it to bend slightly when in your ear.
I turned down the lapis/,diamond when they offered it to me. Still not sure how I feel about diamonds mixed with semi-precious stones. It might grow on me one dayThe guilloche is different to me because the motifs are very shiny and brilliant themselves. So if I were buying that one, I'd be fine with all guilloche.

Thank you so much! I'll check about this next time!
Yaaay!!!! It’s FAAAABULOUS!!! Congratulations!!!!
I just purchased my first van cleef five motif bracelet in blue agate! It’s gorgeous however, I never received a cleaning cloth I was told they don’t make any? Is this true? I was literally dumb founded how is that possible? I am a avid collector of fine jewelry and all my purchases have come with some sort of cloth or spray for cleaning. I know this sounds “petty” but seriously! How can you spend almost five thousand dollars for a luxury jewelry item that creates fingerprints and collects dirt and oils and it doesn’t even come with a cloth for cleaning? Am I the only person who can’t believe this? I even called customer service and they told me the same thing and to wash it with soap and water or take it in to the boutique get cleaned. I don’t get it!

I never received a cleaning kit and I have bought more than a handful of items from the same SA at the boutique. I always bring my items back for cleaning though.
I don’t know. I always received the little booklet on how to take care of your jewelry and it comes with a cleaning cloth inside
They do have cleaning cloths but they don’t give it out for each and every purchase. I’ve received a few in the past but not with every purchase. However if I asked for one, they’d always give it to me.
Did you buy online? They stick to the storyline of VCA doesn’t make cleaning cloths. This isn’t true, though, as I have received a large black cleaning cloth from my boutique SA. Seems to just depend on where you buy.

You hit a home-run with this one! Absolutely fantastic iridescence! GORGEOUS!!!!! CONGRATS!!!!!
I bought it at the boutique yesterday and it’s actually out getting sized right now. I was making a big stink of it at the store she literally said they don’t make any I even offered to buy one!!! I then proceeded to call customer service when I left the store and they told me no they do not make any like what kind of service is this? I am so disappointed really it’s totally not normal to be spending all this money and to get different answers on a little cleaning cloth? Is this for real when I go and pick up my bracelet I’m REALLY going to make a stink about it because how can you just flat out lie like that ??! Terrible terrible service
