Thank you! I have been eyeing a dramatic btf ring from VCA and almost tried every single one of them, as you know ;)
With this one, as soon I put it on...I knew, this is the one for me! I am so glad you liked it, thank you. I am leaning towards the middle finger too.
The Noeud ring is such a beautiful piece. We will be twins on this ring as mine is being made right now! They have so few pieces for the Noeud. I sized mine for the middle finger. I realized over time I prefer to wear my btf rings on my middle finger. There’s always room to move to the ring finger if my fingers become puffier. My SA modelled the ring on her index finger and the ring looked just as gorgeous on her index finger!
PS. I was always told you can’t really resize btf rings.

Yay! It was never on my radar until I tried it in on in Paris! Just so elegant! Thank you for chiming in ...I am also gonna go for the middle finger size.

I am getting conflicting info on btw ring sizing. I asked my SA if it could have it resized in case I lose or gain weight..
Her response "NO"
I called VCA and they told me "yes, it could be sized one up or down"
ugh, which one of this information is true?
Tpf members would probably have a solid answer for me. Please let me know..thank you :flowers:
I was told previously, one up or one down only, maybe it varies with the btf. that was a socrate
Anything more will alter the structure of the ring.

Hi,
I have been going back and forth between 5 motif bracelet in YG and onyx. I have YG VA pave and Frivole small YG earrings. I liked the onyx on me but my husband and mom like the YG. Which one should I go for?

Both look equally good on you. I would say go for what makes your heart sing.
I have bought items in the past because others think it looked better on me but I still eventually went for what I wanted.

Very helpful. Thanks for sharing the link. I know VCA has a boutique in SF, but it's good to browse at my leisure.

Has anyone else noticed that you can now purchase VCA on Neiman MArcus's website?!

Ok, I take that back. It sure does initially look like you can, but once you click on it you are directed to call. Still, it's at least a lot more info than you were previously able to get online.

Can anyone recommend a sa in Paris? And are the prices somewhat less than in the states ? Ty

Sorry I do not have a Paris sa to recommend. But Vca has a US and France site with prices so price comparison is generally easy for most items. In general, my experience has been that unless you are after a special item, it’s easier in purchase in the US with no customs drama and no significant savings available in Paris.

Hi ladies, I am just wondering to see if any of you can recommend a SA for VCA boutique in south coast plaza , costa Mesa. Thank you, hope it is the right thread to post.
My last purchase was about two or three years ago from Karmen. She was very patient and had to process an exchange for me when I didn’t like the original item I had gotten. I don’t know if she’s still there but I was thinking of contacting her regarding the blue agate.

True but the vat back and no tax is a savings . I could not find the Euro for the single large Alhambra pendant in onyx
