I think you are right and I feel sad about this.
Each year we all eagerly anticipate the holiday pendant. I want to love this year’s pendant....
but I just don’t.
I would rather save those funds to apply towards something else.
There are so many other beautiful items to wish for.
I agree. . It's disappointing
It's appearing as if VCA knows the pendant is a bust but (financially) must move forward with it (albeit, slowly), so decided to recoup with the (odd) price increases, lack of information, etc.
They have a genuine opportunity to make it up by offering something very special for the 50th.
Hopefully it won’t be brown, nor porcelain, nor every piece paved in diamonds.
VCA, please just give us either gray mother of pearl, turquoise or lapis.
It’s that simple.
The collection would fly off the shelves.
THIS!!!! VCA are you listening???
I am in Aspen and got to see the holiday pendant yesterday at the local VCA. The SA was very excited about it. I told him that it looked quite a bit like letterwood and he said 'No, the bullseye glows more. The letterword is more flat.' This is probably true but I still find the two to be too similar. The pendant is pretty but I'm going to pass.
I'm sorry to interject my ridiculous sense of humor yet again, but I feel like this conversation is like beating a dead parrot.
"Look at this new limited piece! It's gorgeous!"
"It looks like twelve other pieces you have"
"No! It's different! If you squint and hold it at an angle, it's COMPLETELY different!"
"No it isn't."
"Yes it is!"
"No it isn't."
"Yes it is!"
"It's brown"
"But it glows! It's a glowing brown!"
"It looks like letterwood."
"But it's not! It's a totally different stone! I promise!!"
(Continue to keep hitting countertop - or your own head - with ex-parrot here.)

I am another loyal VCA client taking a pass on this year's pendant. Writing this in hopes that VCA management reads this thread-
I agree with what has been posted above especially regarding the grey MOP. Would open my wallet immediately if it appeared!

Lol, BBC! You are so right! It actually did feel like that! The SA presented it like it was this breathtaking, groundbreaking piece. I was clearly underwhelmed, so he turned the sales pitch up a notch. He pointed out the striations and 'glowy wonderful-ness' of the pendant. I just couldn't get as excited about it as he wanted me to. Lol
To me it just looks like a cross between carnelian and letterwood. I guess if you don't have either and want to kind of "kill two birds with one stone," this would do the trick. I've only been into VCA in time to see the last 3 offerings, and I have yet to purchase one. But it kills me to know that I missed the grey MOP holiday pendant by just 1 year!
I'm sorry....'glowy wonderful-ness'....I'm dying here. I need to mentally add this to my skit. I'm so happy that I can crack myself up.
