2017 Holiday Pendant Guesses

[HeidiDavis]

Ok, I may get into trouble here, but I'm going to think out loud. I don't think VCA sold out of last years holiday pendant. I saw it at several boutiques when we were in Europe in the spring. Is it possible they are using this inventory for LE earrings?

This didn't occur to me, but now that you say it, it makes perfect sense! Not sure how I feel about VCA doing this (if it is indeed the case). It would be nice if the house's creation of LE pieces was driven more by a focus on what the VCA consumer might enjoy versus the convenience of using up leftover stock.

Interesting thought- it was available earlier in the year on the UK website, it isn't now.

That is exactly what I thought. I returned mine because it was too much like the gray MOP pendant I have.

I really DO NOT think that VCA would resort to this. These pieces are numbered and their refusal to connect two 10s to make a 20 or separate one 20 into two, ought to speak volumes.

A possibility is that these were already in the workshop, unnumbered of course, and because demand was so low for the LE Pendant, quite possibly could have been used to make the LE earrings.

With that said, who knows what any Jewellery house will resort to doing to maximize profits.

Wow never thought of this alternative but my SA did mention that these earrings will be extremely limited in terms of stocks so who knows?

That's what I meant with my thoughts -

You said it more eloquently Hadassa

If that's the case, I wish they'd make 5 motifs!

 

[purseinsanity]

Amen!!! This would be my dream piece after Lapis!

Me too.

I really do not like the diamond in the middle of any Alhambra stone. Especially in a pair, it just reminds me of nipples....really not a fan....

LOL, I must admit that's why I haven't bought any yet!

 

[purseinsanity]

I forgot to ask....I was stunned he told me! He said he knows for sure what it is and I asked....and without missing a beat red tigers eye.... I'm pretty excited about it...pink or yellow gold will be gorgeous!!!

What's red tiger's eye? I've never heard of it!

Has anyone ever had any luck in finding a last season's holiday pendant this late in the game? Now that I've seen the LE earrings that will be available in August I'm interested in making a set. I liked the onyx pendant when I saw it last year and didn't pull the trigger because of some other big purchases I'd made and now I'm kicking myself!!

You can try calling VCA Customer Service to see if they are able to locate one for you in the Americas. I really don't know if they can have one transferred in from another market where it might still be available.

Thank you! I'll try calling tomorrow!

There might have been less demand as well because onyx is probably in almost everyone's collection. I only held off on onyx because YG makes me look like I have hepatitis. Leftover stock or not, I am sooo looking forward to have the earrings.

Perhaps they should have holiday pendants in stones not regularly available to make it more special and sought after.

I think I'll wear the earrings a lot as I love the pendant. It goes with everything. My SA said that they only get four pairs of the earrings. I really think it will be scarce.
