Vrai & Oro or Hortense

[Violet Bleu]

Hello everyone,

Has anyone bought anything from Vrai & Oro
http://m.vraiandoro.com/#/

or

Hortense?

I'm interested in a few pieces from both designers but am hesitant to order anything without being assured of the quality.

Thank you,
Violet Bleu

I've purchased from Vrai and Oro but unfortunately, the items didn't work out. They have good customer service though.

Why didn't the items work out? Was the quality not that great?

I think the quality was good for the price but both necklaces just didn't work out for me. I ended up getting one from Dana Rebecca instead.

I see. Do you feel the necklace from Dana Rebecca is better quality?

To answer your question, I just liked the one from Dana Rebecca better. I liked their (Vrai and Oro) basic solitaire necklace but the clasp broke upon putting it on for the first time. If that didn't happen, I probably would have kept it. They offered to fix the clasp, etc. but I just didn't want to deal with it at that point.

That makes sense. I'm considering purchasing either the solitaire necklace or bracelet. How is the quality of the diamond? That is my biggest concern.

I thought it looked nice - no concerns really other than that clasp. Give them a try. They are very responsive and have good service.

Okay. Thank you for all your help!

I've bought from Vrai & Oro, I bought their mini cluster earrings in 14k gold but I returned them because the diamonds were very grey and not sparkly and for almost $400 it was a for disc earrings with no sparkle. They were great and they actually pulled the earrings from their site so i'm guessing i'm not the only one who had that issue. They still have the large ones which I guess would have the same issue. If they were truly white and not grey they would still sparkle even in that setting. I deal with small diamonds also so they would sparkle.

Aw! That's disappointing to hear. I've been curious about the quality of their diamonds and wonder if the other diamond pieces have the same quality issues.
