They're short on everything right now. I've received merchandise without the box or the wrong size box, or without the pouch and of late, without the COA. I just email my SA and when they come in, they either send or I pick up.
Funny, I too need to rely on action shots. It helps a lot. Like you, I've found that the item I swoon over is not necessarily the one I choose after reviewing the pics. I'm astonished at what a difference it makes.thank you @glamourbag, @missie1 , @BigAkoya , I’m waiting for my Bulgari SA to bring it in
@Happyish , agree re this is the one to prioritize; the buton d’or is still on the list
@kvitka4u , one of my tests is not wanting to take something off, but I agree with @eternallove4bag that you should try on all the different metals. I will say that I personally need to take action shots to review when I get home, bc sometimes the item I think is the best in the store is not what I end up obsessing about
@kelsenia , we typically only insure current pieces for the value on the receipt which is accepted by Jewelers mutual / Chubb. May I ask is there another reason for a separate insurance certificate? Does it function like an appraisal? Thanks in advance!
I wanted to chime in and say that I received my Mother's Day gift today and the package had everything! The lovely grey box, certificate, cards, care booklet, travel pouch. Gift is also wrapped with ribbon. My package was sent from Texas.
@A bottle of Red, I buy them a size bigger for oversized look and the ones on the longer side so they make me look a bit smaller/thinner. Lol. This particular one from Nili Lotan did the trick. They say vertical stripes make for a slimmer look.
Stay calm. The Alhambra with stones is double-sided. It may be that you took a photo of the top of the motif and when you looked at it later, it was the underside. Flip over the motif and see if it matches your original photo.I think I need a sanity check... Has anyone experienced chalcedony changing colour/pattern? I was just going to write about my recently procured blue agate and chalcedony pieces, when I noticed that the patterns on my chalcedony bracelet looked slightly different. The lighting is different so I'm going to take more photos during the day tomorrow and double check, but it looks like some of the pattern is blending out (not sure how to describe it) - I've circled one of the more obvious examples.
This was the photo after I'd taken it home and placed in my jewellery box:
These were taken just now (2 days later). I tried to lay out all of the motifs so they're the same orientation as the original pic.
Am I going crazy/seeing things?
It’s just lighting. They are not changing.I think I need a sanity check... Has anyone experienced chalcedony changing colour/pattern?

Did actually have a moment of panic last night where I thought the stones had change. Just checked again and yes it was the other side othe motif 
Everything's fine - disregard my previous post No worries. If you hadn't written, you would still be in panic mode. That's what we're here for!And the derp of the day award goes to... me!
Happens to everyone, those moments. Have a lovely day.And the derp of the day award goes to... me!
We bought at the boutique and they sent it off right away so all we got was the receipt.
So relieved for youAnd the derp of the day award goes to... me!
