Hello. Just picked up my first piece from VCA, vintage Alhambra onyx necklace. Does anyone know if they no longer provide the cleaning cloth, I asked for one and my SA said they dont give out any. Also, my receipt was not in their regular VCA envelope. Will calling customer service provide me with this items, if I request it? Thanks in advance for any help.
I bought the same necklace last month in place Vendome and the SA gave me the cloth when I asked for one.
Has anyone that purchased from the NYC flagship received their authenticity cards in the mail yet? They ran out when I purchased my pieces before christmas from the NYC flagship store and I still haven't received the authenticity card in the mail yet despite them saying they would send it.... its been a month and a half so am a bit concerned...thanks in advance!
It took almost two months to get mine. From a purchase at the beginning of Oct and didn’t get it until around Thanksgiving. I didn’t remind them or anything it just got mailed out with an apology from I think the store manager.
Thank you both for your help! I will contact my SA. I'm always so nervous to call him since I don't want to be a bother
Don’t be. You’re the customer, remember?Thank you both for your help! I will contact my SA. I'm always so nervous to call him since I don't want to be a bother
haha very true, thank you! I just called but couldn't reach my SA. The receptionist said she will forward my message to him and have him call me back.Don’t be. You’re the customer, remember?
I’m def interested in seeing the wg version of this. It could look fantastic stacked with diamond banglesi see, i found the photos of the other two golds

something feels off about it imo, it almost feels forced(?) like they were trying too hard to find a “thin love” alternative for vca. if i saw it irl i probably would think it’s a poorly done perlee clover fake. but it could look a lot better irl. hope we get more info on it
A cleaning cloth is not always given with a purchase. Some boutiques may only have a small quantity or may be out of them at times. So those are not automatically included with a purchase. Did you ask your SA about the envelope? My guess is that they are probably out of those, as well. If the envelope is important to you, you should ask your SA to send you one when they get more in.
Hello Everyone, I am new here in Purse forum but I have been a fan of VCA for a long time. Recently I have been thinking about adding the Lotus small earrings to my humble collection but it seems that some of the stones in the earrings show fluorescent as shown in the photos by the member Jinsun, I hope that she has time to chime in. May I know the brand of the loop you are using? I might bring a loop to their shop before I make my decision to purchase their diamond pieces.
I am in a dilemma to choose between the Lotus and the Socrate single flower studs to purchase first but in the end I would like to have both in my collection. The Socrate studs can be a daily use as I work in a conservative environment but I like the Lotus so much after trying them on. Which one should I purchase first? I noticed that member kimber418 has the Socrate studs, please let me know your opinions on the Socrate studs.
Anyone who has time to reply, please feel free to give me your opinions.
Thank you in advance!

Welcome to the VCA forum! Any piece made with pave diamonds may have some fluorescent stones, but that is nothing to be concerned about.(I actually love fluorescence.) You'll likely never see it unless you purposely shine a UV light on your jewelry. I strongly would recommend against taking a loupe into VCA. VCA's workmanship is very good, and that is not the way we normally see our jewelry. Try it on and look at it in a mirror!
I do not have either pair of earrings, but my choice would be to buy the ones you could wear daily first (Socrate), and then add the more dressy Lotus earrings later.
Thank you so much for your reply. I have been reading articles online to see what it is all about in regard to the fluorescent in diamonds. It seems that the heated diamonds have this fluorescent. And it is said that fluorescent in diamonds can actually influences the prices---- usually price drops a bit in diamonds with fluorescent. If I pay the same or similar price as other VCA customers do for the same item, I would rather choose a piece with fewer stones that show fluorescent.
I might add only two pairs of pave earrings(one Socrate studs and the other Lotus) from VCA and I do want them to be perfect and cost-effective. Plus it is for celebrating the big girl B-day, stepping into the middle-age circle
