Negotiation & Planning
hi Loanne , how are you?Thanks for reaching out.What size of pendant would you like?
thanks
The pendant should be around 1 cm wide and one and a half to 2cm long. i don't want it to be so prominent just simple and elegant, thanks
Hi Loanne
It is possible to do the order.Should the pendant have a chain? Please give us the go ahead to proceed.
Hallo Lucille,
I was just wonderung, Cufflings for Jochen costed 60 €, this got me wondering why my pendant would cost 46 € and its just one peace more or less of the same size?
Loanne
Hi Loanne
I understand you I did this quote assuming it will come with a chain sorry about that.The pendant only will cost 30 euros.
Thanks
Ok. thanks for the explanation. please go ahead. Loanne
