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
I also declined because it is just not my taste. I did see a video of it and I thought the striations were pretty but I would still prefer to save my money for something else. I will now begin dreaming of what will be offered next year. :love:
 
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.)

These SAs are like parrots - they ALL learn the same script written by the VCA strategic marketing team. Don't interrupt them as they rave on, they might forget where they left off.

The thing is, it's like a stuck record - an OLDIE but NO GOLDIE :tdown:

Don't forget though - it's LE. The Onyx earrings still available at $5750 but let's raise the price. And oh!!! We think this Red TE will hit the Bull's Eye (pun intended) at $3600.

Hahaha, this is so true [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]. I saw the pendant yesterday and the conversation went pretty much like you described [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23].

This is all so funny yet so sad at once.
Isn’t today the official launch?
So many of us have eagerly anticipated this day.
Since the Summer.
I wonder how the pendant is selling outside of our thread (it appears that not one member has purchased the item or if they have aren’t willing to admit it).
I feel bad for the SA’s who are trying hard to promote this pendant. They are likely as disappointed as we are.
I hope that the 50th promises to deliver something that we will all love and equally as important, be able to afford.

After this EPIC FAIL, I am not holding my breath. In that way if it's something wow, I'll be pleasantly surprised.

This LE Pendant is really a "HARD-SELL" - it's like trying to sell a man a ship who lives in the desert, especially the "glowy wonderful-ness" of the oasis :lol:
 
This is all so true! My dear SA told me that she had a pendant set aside for me. I told her that I would pass and was waiting on the 50th Anniversary offerings. She did not skip a beat in saying that she looks forward to helping me with those. Another SA had told me not to hold my breath when I was anticipating the release. At least these SAs know this pendant is not suitable to my taste. That makes me happy!

I picked up mine today, the pendant and the onyx earrings, which are a perfect match to last year's holiday pendant. I'm excited about my new pieces.

Congratulations!!! [emoji322]The LE onyx earrings are gorgeous and I loved the extra bit of sparkle from the diamond when I tried them on. Excellent choices!!! [emoji92][emoji92][emoji92][emoji92][emoji92]

Gorgeous! Love the color and markings of your 2017 Holiday pendant! My SA showed me two holiday pendants. One was darker than the other with different patterns but both were lovely. They truly come to life when worn: the stone has movement and the pink gold chains really sparkles on the skin. Enjoy your great purchase!
