Something to consider is if VCA changes their policies and procedures to streamline their processes. I understand that Tiffany is not VCA in any way. But Tiffany has been charging sales tax in states that they do not have an actual physical storefront for years, the exception is Oregon, where they have a store but assess no tax given that Oregon is 0% sales tax state. I use Tiffany as an example (there are others like Chanel) that decided for their own business practices to assess state sales tax even though they have no physical brick & mortar presence. VCA could choose just like Tiffany to assess state sales tax in states that have a sales tax regardless if purchased online or in store & shipped elsewhere. This will definitely be interesting to see what the companies decide to do.

I barely got in “under the wire” on my Perlee Diamond Clover Ring!
My SA ordered it yesterday. I need to research and find out when this SC decision becomes effective. This will affect a lot of online retailers, like Etsy vendors for example. The loop hole for the no sales tax sales was not having a brick/mortar presence in each state.

The way it was explained to me was that the loophole of no brick and mortar store in the state would disappear. The state would be allowed to collect the appropriate sales tax thus gaining revenue. Still hoping the loophole continues...I guess we will see...

But regardless of the fact that you didn’t pay the sales tax up front, if you live in the United States you are supposed to be reporting the use tax when you file your taxes. There is no savings on the taxes. It’s whether you pay now or report and pay later. The fact of the matter is that Supreme Court case does not focus on what the consumers responsibilities are.

Thank you for sharing! The blue agate looks amazing and did i read it right? The 10 motifs is less than 9000 Euro!!! Can you tell from the pictures if the gate is indeed darker than the Lapis? I need to justify for spending the 70K extra... Thanks for the great news!!

Yes, the first thing I checked was the price too lol. I saw the side by side pics of agate and lapis, it does look a little darker than lapis - or maybe it was the angle picture was taken.

I really like the tone of the blue agate, my SA told me about it a few weeks back and I thought it would have striations like malachite but I really like the solid mid blue tone! I was told it was being launched in Canada in November, hopefully it arrives sooner.

I can't wait to see it in person. I hope they have one motif earrings, wishful thinking :P
