It’s wonderful you decided on your size!Well, there are four VCAs in Vegas (it's not fair at all). Cannot say much about Wynn as it's new to me and with less than 15 mins there, I have to say the SA (forgot his name) was very eager to help.
Bellagio has all brands at one location too, one stop shop for everything too. VCA boutique here is pretty small (I didn't visit this time).
The one at the Forum Shop, I think they are franchise store, not owned by corporate. I bought a couple of small pieces from them a few years ago and SAs were very helpful and patient, showed me how to wear 20 motifs in 4 different ways, and Magic pendant in 3 different ways. I went in for a quick inventory check on Saturday, they definitely has lots, they even has YG 10 motif GMOP on display. SA said someone ordered but didn't like it. I tried and loved, but didn't like the MTO price.
Last but not least, is my favorite at Crystal. SA very helpful, kind, said they can order perlee clover bracelet for me with 30% deposit, and guess what, here comes the best, you may recall I bought one perlee clover in Istanbul a month ago and second guessed my decision on the size and since then, it's back in the box and my husband was helping me to sell it. Anyway, She put a small size sweet clover next to my XS size, moved it back and forth on my wrist, and said: Honey, I think you should keep it. It looks gorgeous on you. and it's the perfect size. I think the size small is too big on you, and you won't be happy. I wish I have sold this piece to you. That's why this is my favorite store and I just love the fact she didn't say you should sell it and I will order a size small for you. And I feel so relieved and get to enjoy my Perlee Clover that night and many more days and nights to come.
I hope you get to visit the boutique in Crystal someday if not this time.
I agree with you on VCA Bellagio. I dashed in there once when I stayed at Bellagio.
I will try and check out Crystal next time as now, I’m already headed out of Vegas. It was a quick business day trip, in and out. I will plan to book more time my next trip.
Congrats again on your bangle! Now you can enjoy it wholeheartedly! It’s a beautiful bangle!
Another vote for Crystal! Too bad it’s in a mall… not a fan of mall shopping, but this boutique sounds like a must!
Hihi..what jewellery cleaner brand are u using? Thanks for sharing !! Guilloche so gorgeous....I have owned the 10 Motif Guilloché for 3 years now - it has gotten plenty of wear!!! I find it doesn't scratch as easily as the bracelet, (since the front of my body is not banging into things the way my wrist does).
The Guilloché design seems to attract more dust/dirt in between the lines. It does appear more "dull" after multiple wears.
I purchased a jewelry cleaner that brings it back to it's original shine within seconds.

I have the same issue. RG vanishes, particularly in earrings. However, my perlee bracelets are RG. You can only see if a difference if you place a YG piece next to it, otherwise they appear to be YG-there's no apparent pinkish cast. I find Cartier's RG to be better defined. I'm not a fan . . . All in all, it's nice to have a choice in many of these pieces, so if one doesn't pop, it's likely another will.
Another +1 for Crystal - I adore my SA there (am NY-based and it feels like she ships things to me weekly at this point!), and they seem to be able to source most items I've requested. The latest find is the RG pave Frivole necklace & earring set with the pink sapphire center!
I keep forgetting to ask, when i bought my 6 motif necklace, the sa let me try on a carnelian 10 motif & the motifs looked pretty small.
What size are the motifs on a 10 motif necklace?
Are the ones on the 6 much larger?

yes, definitely check out Crystals next time.
Thank you very much, I am glad I can be part of the Perlee Clover group.
Has anyone been able to successfully exchange an item in the United States that was purchased in Europe? I was gifted a five motif blue agate but the color is super light it almost looks like a turquoise. I would love to exchange it for a deeper blue, what are my chances?
I think the 6 motif has three sizes of clovers, right? Vintage Alhambra is the size of the smallest motif. The other two sizes correspond to the size of the Magic earring motifs and the larger Magic pendant motif.
Ohhh makes sense! So i guess the 10 motifs are vintage sized, not sweet right?
Correct! Sweets are really tiny! The 10 and 20 motif necklaces are vintage size.
Sold! Your vote gets double-weighting as you are a NYer and can buy at the US flagship store, yet you still buy at Crystal.Another +1 for Crystal - I adore my SA there (am NY-based and it feels like she ships things to me weekly at this point!), and they seem to be able to source most items I've requested.

The SA I met at Wynn was super nice, but I know he would not be a long term SA for me. He's not my preference in terms of sales style. I'm looking forward to going to Crystals!

I am very loyal if I have a good customer service experience! I walked in there this past February, straight from the airport (definitely not looking my best! ) to make my very first VCA purchase and she was so welcoming and kind. Happy to PM you with my SA’s name if helpful, and can give her a heads up to expect you if you’re comfortable with that!
