I actually think it would be good if they offered 3-4in as standard. For me, 2in extension makes the pendants actually wearable, without that extra length they are chokers on me, i don’t know if you have the same issue. But 3-4in would be nice since it allow for varying lengths. My sa has said it’s because once pendants get too long they don’t look good, but considering the differences in all of our bodies/necks (especially if any men wear them!) it seems like a reasonable accommodation.

I mean, I think they'll allow if you ask, hit its not offered per se. I actually like an pendant to hang a bit lower so it doesn't sit in the hollow of my neck.
 
Same! All I want is lapis perlee earrings. They make the tq why can’t they make lapis!
Agreed @lynne_ross ! I am not ready to pay the premium VCA charges for the ring unless it’s so spectacular in person that all rational thought flies out of my brains when I try them because it ends up being so darn gorgeous. This, I very much doubt will happen so my wallet is safe for now. But, now I am curious to see it they are coming out with more pieces that have not yet be reported because someone told me perlee hoop earrings are being launched in different sizes. I don’t know how true the intel is though. Will believe it when I see it.
 
Happy Friday! I’m wondering if anyone has a SA in Toronto they could recommend? I heard that stock is in short supply and thought it may be easier to talk to an actual SA. The boutique is about an hour away from me and I’m not sure about ordering online.

I’m finally back to looking at a few VCA pieces. I popped in here earlier this year before my trip to Hawaii. Didn’t find anything at the Honolulu boutique while I was there. Ended up getting a Rolex and another Cartier Love bracelet instead. Then we lost our beloved Maltese dog suddenly in early May which left me so heartbroken. Then a week later, I lost my new Love bracelet and it was only the 4th time wearing it (well, not lost as so much as it fell off!!!). Luckily, the 2 separate pieces were returned to me by good samaritans a week later—I posted my incredulous experience on the Cartier forum. So now that I’m finally getting over my PTSD and my bday and my twin girls’ birthday are coming up, I thought VCA jewelry may just be the thing we (I) need. May be sweet Alhambra pendants for the girls and either vintage Alhambra pendant or 5 motifs bracelet for me. I just need some good positive vibes for a change.

Sorry to hear about all the heartache. All the SAs in the Toronto store are lovely. I lost all my contacts but I suggest just calling the store and speaking to an SA. They may have very low stock so may need to wait to purchase.

Okay, so update on the new perlee releases. There is definitely going to be the perlee hoops in two sizes in all three golds. The small size is USD 3850 and the large size is USD 7550. The ring I was eyeing with the rubies is USD 12,400 which is not cheap so @lynne_ross we have to see if it’s really worth that price.
Ohh any more details on the hoops?
I can’t get the ‘looks like everyone grandpa’s wedding ring’ out of my head but I adored my grandpas (especially my Italian grandpa who wore large gold rings) so that was a positive comment for me haha!

Thank you, @lynne_ross! I’ll reach out to them. Would love to try things on but last May I was at the mall where the boutique is located and they didn’t look like they had anything in the window at all. I saw some pendants online but a little reluctant to order without seeing it in person first.
