Finally decided on pave earrings. Bought the yg frivoles since they are stunning on their own for events, but also work for me to wear to work or just out and about for the day.

@cherylc thanks for the info on the Oxford gift cards! Saved me a lot of money on this purchase.

Beautiful! Congrats! So great you could take advantage of the Oxford gift card offer. I had looked it up when it was mentioned here but unfortunately was unable to go on Thursday. Maybe next year... [emoji4]

I am glad you bring this up! I am eyeing another piece that also comes with certificate and was wondering how reputable is fashionpile? If anyone has experience here, I’d love to hear your thoughts!

On the other end of the question, I am selling a pair of earrings and got a message from someone who wanted to purchase after requesting my full name and street address to verify with VCA that the certificate and serial number match my purchase history. Will VCA verify this very personal information or is this some sort of scam?

I doubt that VCA would verify that information with them. That's a breach of confidentiality or some such. I would never want a store I frequent to give out that information to anyone who calls.

Agreed that sounds super shady. I wouldn’t want just anyone to have that info. As far as I know you can send in the pieces to Van Cleef to evaluate but have to pay a fee. They can look up the serial number to see if it matches.

Thank you! I thought it sounded very unlikely as well, but the woman was so emphatic that I became concerned. I’m glad to know they wouldn’t give out my personal information!

Suzie I got invited to this too! But I declined as I’d be overseas! It would have been great meeting you. Let us know how it went! My SA kept hypeing it up, lol! As I couldn’t go, he sent me the Alhambra book instead. Soo excited for you!
Oh what a shame, it would have been lovely to meet you also. I wonder if there will be any other purse forum members there? Hubby is not coming now so I will have to go on my own as I have never been to one of these events before, not sure what to expect. Hopefully bubbles!!!

Fashionphile has pave YG Frivole earrings $3K under retail. If I wasn't saving that piece for a milestone, I would have jumped on it
I checked it out and it’s a gorgeous pair!!!

I also noticed a pair of pure Alhambra at an awesome price it has scratches all over. I have been searching for a pair of pure Alhambra but was hoping that someone here would share an action photo before I actually purchase a pair. This pair though... I am not sure. Can VCA polish the earrings for us?
