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?

Under no circumstances would I reveal that type information prior to purchase. You could be potentially opening yourself for scams or burglaries.

I went to a Graff event at my local Saks. Most of the pieces were incredible, but way beyond my budget. The sapphire/diamond butterfly studs were just perfect and not too outrageously priced. The studs have cup shaped earring backs that make them sit perfectly on my ear.

They’re very pretty but not for me. A number of the designs seem derivative - Tiffany’s Victoria line, Cartier’s Orchidee - and I only really like the actual design of the butterflies on the outline series.

I like a bold butterfly...but also currently obsessed with some house pieces by London Jewelers so I really just cannot even look at anything else!!!

Would love to see if you don’t mind posting photos. The cup shaped backs sound interesting

I need help and am hoping that I can get some advice from more experienced vca lovers. I am not a ring person, but I took the plunge and ordered the vca perlee clovers ring in size 52 (medium model), because I couldn’t resist. I think that I will mostly wear the ring on my right middle finger but the ring is a bit loose. Is it best to have the ring a bit loose? It’s currently winter where I live, so I assume that in the summer that my hands will swell more than currently, so having it be a bit loose now might be beneficial? If I exchange for one size down to a size 51 then that would be the small model, so less bling but should that matter? I don’t plan on sleeping or exercising with the ring, so I feel as though it doesn’t need to be too snug. Any thoughts or comments are appreciated as I am a bit outside my comfort zone with rings. Thank you!

I have the same ring. I would keep the medium model. The bling factor between the small and medium is virtually the same. I find since the ring is wider I notice it is looser fitting when my hands are cold vs warm. For example, in the summer sometimes I take the ring off and it will have left an imprint. When it’s cooler it slides off easily. I think the width makes it fit differently and more sensitive to fluctuations when fingers swell or shrink than a thinner ring if that makes sense. Enjoy it. I love mine!
