Hello everyone [emoji846]
Sorry to be MIA for awhile. It was tax sesaon and then it was summer and there were various groups of family visiting and then its October and I am working toward the last 2016 tax return deadline on Monday and I am wondering
where this year has gone. LOL
I have been keeping up with this thread, but had nothing to contribute this year until now. I purchased the Magic Pendant in Carnelian to commerate a milestone life event. I had to wait for the right color Carnelian to show up, so the pendant arrived today. It’s beautiful and red is my second favorite color, so I know I will enjoy this beauty.

Congratulations on your milestone and on finding this gorgeous shade of dark red for you magic pendant.
Does anyone know the history of the frivole collection? Do they have a long history like the VA? I tried to do a google search but only turned up results from 2017 when the new additions were released.
I took my husband by VCA over the weekend to see which VA earrings he preferred. My current earrings are MOP YG VA and Turquoise WG sweets. My husband comes from background where 22kt YG+ is the norm and anything else looks cheap to him, so I was fully expecting the YG VA to be his choice.
I was wrong. He loved the Pave YG most, next was malachite. I asked him why and he said, "Because the others look more one-dimensional." Of course I knew just what to do.
I tried on the YG frivole and he loved them. I do too.
The NM SA told me that the mini frivole is "out of stock, we have no idea when it will come back" and that the YG small frivole is on backorder for a month+. Amazingly, I tried the large YG frivole and they were not too heavy! I have trouble with the VA getting too heavy on my earlobes, but somehow these are OK. If anyone else is like me and thought they had to stick to the mini frivole for daily wear, I encourage you to try a larger size. You may be surprised - I really was. Perhaps the weight of the frivole is more balanced than on the VA, which are more bottom heavy. The large frivole was slightly hanging forward on my ear, so the small should be perfect for daily wear. Now the wait begins.

YG mini frivole earring is out of stock?!
Well this was Bellevue NM, so take this with a grain of salt. However, I just checked and it looks like it is currently not available for purchase on the VCA US website either, though the small YG is available.

The NM VCA seem to be out of stock for a lot of items and my SA says they are not allowed to pull stock from the stand alone VCA boutique. Before the price increase I asked my NM VCA SA for a VA ring in onyx and a VA ring in carnelian. He told me both were out of stock and was not sure when they would have them. I havent had this problem in the years I have been buying from NM. Perhaps VCA is allocating less stock to the NM in store boutiques????
