Someone else said their SA said that about high jewelry, so I am not sure. Mine only told me about the regular jewelry increase likely because she knows I won't be buying high jewelry! :lol:



Wow, that onyx and white gold with the panda has to be THE best possible combination of those two styles! Love it!
As I recall, I think you just purchased the oynx Magic long pendant. The panda would be super cute grabbing on to the chain around your collarbone/chest area. Like the little guy is grabbing on to a bamboo stalk. :biggrin:

Hello VCA Friends (I hope I can call yall that)

My SA just contacted me telling me that USA prices are going up on June 1st by about 3% on everything. I had placed a 60% deposit on my bracelet and they said that with a partial deposit, I would still have to pay the increased price afterwards (whatever that remaining balance would be). So in order to order your item at the current lower prices, you must pay for it in full. Luckily my SA allowed me to pay the rest over the phone and just charged my card, so I'm all set and don't have to pay the newer higher price.

But I urge you all that if you made a partial deposit on an item you ordered, contact your SA asap and pay in full if you can lock in the current price to avoid paying the increased price after June 1st.

Just wanted to warn y'all who were in the same boat as me!

5 motif alhambra bracelets are going up about $130 from what they told me...I don't have the info on other prices.
Oh no! I wonder if that’s just in the USA? I have placed a deposit for a pair of earrings / I’m gonna enquire what the deal is with the price increase in the Uk...
 
Increase in UK happened already !!
Omg! I just saw! The earrings I reserved are 1k pounds more!!!!! I just texted my SA to see what is up and if I’m gonna be charged old or new price! A bit pissed I was not told about it tbh in case I have to pay a new price!
Ok update: thank god I put a deposit before the increase so my lady just said the old price is still in place for me!
 
I've been looking at animal clips to see how I could add one. For WG, I only see the iittle panda so far, but he is super cute with black oynx. The oynx brings out his dark eyes. :biggrin:

Question please... how can this little guy hang at the bottom of the chain as well as grab the side of the chain? I would have thought the bar pin goes horizontal. Assuming the bar pin is horizontal, is his cute little butt "sitting" on the motif when he hangs on the side of the chain so he doesn't flop around?

Can you kindly please show us one those things you use to clip the brooch on a chain? Thank you!

That's a really good question. This is a photo which I downloaded. However, my guess is that the chain is threaded through the back of the double-clip and the onyx motif acts as a brake, thus holding in in place.
