2018 - 50th ANNIVERSARY of the ALHAMBRA

[BigAkoya]

There is a new VCA book celebrating 50 years of Alhambra... great coffee book. If you did not get one from your SA, you can order it on amazon. Here is the book and some great photos.

I thought I would share and hope you find it useful.

It is awesome. They gave me one when I got my bracelet. My fave pic is of the magic necklace. I hope one day I can get it

Fabulous photos. I have now been given the opportunity to pick up the turquoise watch but I already have the turquoise bracelet so I am really undecided. A lapis watch would have matched my current collection better. Dilemma ...

Go for it, by all means!

Guilloche question - besides a bracelet, does anyone know for certain if it will come as a 10 motif necklace, pendant, earrings or ring? All vintage size?

I'm sure in time they will have all of these

Does anyone know if Hong Kong still has any of the Blue Agate? Thanks so much if anyone knows!

I'd love the guilloche style in a pendant as well as the bracelet.

Talk about coincidence! the HK SA sent me a gorgeous pic of the 20M (or is it 10M + 10M) blue agate earlier today. I don’t know what it means! HK is getting stock? There are 20Ms available? The pieces are widely available already????

Goregous! I think that might be 2/10 motifs hooked together.....
Such a coincidence about me asking and this came! Ahhhh...
I am not sure I can live without one of these in my collection.... I wonder if I should try to get 2/tens[emoji170]

So stunning! Congratulations on getting an LE. Its so beautiful.

Congrats on a beautiful piece!

I was told they cannot find sourcing for the hammered look (there’s a name for it but I can’t remember it) of the original pieces. I don’t know how accurate my SA is though. If they cannot find sourcing then i can only assume would affect the PG pieces as well. That’s a whole lot of beautiful VCA pieces...

I think this means it’s not cost-effective?

It appears that the new bracelet is significantly more costly than the original version, so perhaps cost-effectiveness is a factor.

Soooo jealous!! I want a 10 motif in this SO badly. But my SA said Toronto store is not currently expected to get any.

How much approximately for the 10 motif one? Is it YG or RG?
