After seeing your post, I went back to look at my 20 motif necklace. I think the cloudiness you talked about is part of normal striated chalcedony

Thanks so much for taking the time to check on your necklace and taking photos. The cloudiness on my bracelet seems to follows the clover shape (almost like a cloudy border along the edge of the stone). In your photos, I see the striations as lines running from the top left to the bottom right of the clover, with some areas that are translucent. Is the translucency the “cloudy” that you’re seeing? (Apologies if I’ve totally missed what you’re referring to). Thanks again!
NEED HELP PLEASE !!!
What size SINGLE ROW DIAMOND PERLEE lines up seamlessly with a size 16 CARTIER LOVE BRACELET?
I am not sure if it will be an EXTRA SMALL or SMALL. I don’t want the bracelets to slide over each other.
Thank you ALL so very much
I tried on XS which fits perfect. Hope that helps
Have to go home to measure, could not remember even I measured so many times. LOL. But I do wear a Love in size 16 and I had that on when I tried with the single roll Perlee, it fits perfect. Then what was the smallest Perlee Clover before they came out four sizes? I think that was XS also? I tried that with XS single roll also, it fits too. Trying to decide if I need a single roll or triple, LOLThank you @4LVWhat size is your wrist?
I just measured my wrist at the widest part just after the wristbone (towards the fingers) and it's 5.5". Trying to ensure whether I fall in the XS category.
Agree with @4LV --Small is same size as Cartier love 17NEED HELP PLEASE !!!

It is hard to tell from the first photo if there is damage or just unfortunate placement of the natural striations. Either way, I would request an exchange for a bracelet with more attractive stones. The later photos appear to be marks from finger oils or the environment that will come off with a polishing cloth, but I suspect that your item was either a return or was handled a bit and not cleaned well prior to being sent to you. In either case, I would still opt to exchange it for a better bracelet.
They are not but they've been in super short supply. It's rare for them to accompany purchases nowadays.
The only thing I have seen is that the Lucky animals are having a price increase. I don't think they'd have another across the board increase this soon since there was one at the end of Sept. Someone else said that some high jewelry and timepieces are going up.
Hi! It tried Chalcedony on at the store, but don’t own one. However to me this looks like a perfectly fine Chalcedony based on what I saw.
Hope this helps, unless others say there’s something to worry about.
my friend had such «clouds» in the form of a clover on a new MOP bracelet, SA said that this is normal
