Yes. I placed an order online for a ring size not in stock online. Online SA was able to find it in a boutique. She said she will pull the ring from the store to their central site then mail it out to me. (Quoted about 2 weeks) I guess the risk is that the item can be sold prior to the transfer process but she will keep me posted. The advantage is that you can use the online return/refund policy whereas if you call the store directly, you have to follow boutique policy and only exchange. Hope that helps!

Oh no! I have been waiting for the lion in TE! I was told there might be a price adjustment happening soon for it and I wonder if that’s due to a change in stone..? Any ideas what mahogany obsidian look like?
I don’t know if the price adjustment has to do with this if it applies to all animals, only a few has TE. VCA increased the price of lucky animals early this year, by 5% I think, the SA tried to get me to buy the bunny before the increase though I didn’t. But the change of stone made me give her my credit card to get the older version and there were still four bunnies of TE in the country at the time. You can check if there are still TE lions. I don’t have a picture of the new lion but this is how the new bunny look like with mahogany obsidian:

Thanks for sharing! I prefer the yellow flashes on the TE so hopefully, I could still find one as they are always OOS. Are they only doing this in the lucky animals or all TE pieces?
I’ve only heard about the animals changing stone. But my SA was trying to get me to buy other TE items as they are becoming rare.
I am really really sorry that you posted this because I am now OBSESSED with this idea.
Hello all, I just bought some magic Onyx earclips- they are my first magic pieces. (I own two pairs of vintage earclips and a 5 motif.) I notice that when putting in one of the earclips, there is a tiny audible rattle. Does this mean the onyx is loose and should be repaired? Or is this somewhat expected given the size of earclips? Waiting to hear back from my SA. Thank you!
I love it on you! Did you try wearing it on the middle finger? If you don’t mind sharing, why doesn’t your husband like the ring on you?
Beautiful ring. I would suggest trying it on another finger and see if you like it better. I wear my Frivole on my fourth/ring finger. Next choice would be in the middle finger. For me, I like it least on the index finger as I feel the flower on the left somehow falls off. That's just me, but tons of ladies love it on the index finger, and it looks great. It's all preference.
I think you should keep. I have fat knuckles, but I don't care, and I love wearing big flashy rings. I am who I am. We are too critical of ourselves and body parts that we cannot change. No one will notice anything wrong... all they will see is that gorgeous blingy ring on your hand.
Frivole is my favorite VCA collection, and this BTF ring is a piece of art... the heart-shaped petals, the perfect angle of each mirror polished petal, and the two flowers just slightly overlapping to create a bold look.
I vote keep! You will stare at it all day!
I think your ring is stunning! But, I do think it would look nicer on your middle or ring finger rather than your index finger.

I know. I know. Just when you think you're getting through your list and being "good."I am really really sorry that you posted this because I am now OBSESSED with this idea.
But it's a little purchase that goes a long way. I haven't taken it off since the day I bought it. It's one of the best things I've ever bought from VCA.
Thanks for your reply. My husband said because I have crooked fingers so I should get different designs. This ring is a statement ring and people will pay more attention to my fingers.
This is how it looks on my middle finger
