the agate price is there too I think !
lol - for us old, blind people! Thank you.
Maybe it's just me, but it (finally) appears that the other new offerings this year have been introductions in overall celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Alhambra, and that perhaps these gold guilloche pieces are THE limited edition piece for the 50th anniversary. If I'm correct, I would say that's very poor marketing on their part.
Personally I cannot wait until this (un)celebration is over. Sorry! I am sick of all the hype.
I am completely confused about the release of the blue agate. Is it going to be available in all boutiques? Is it a limited edition or will it be widely available. Ive called a number of VCA boutiques, and all give different stories. Any info would be greatly appreciated!!
Not an official LE
Limited due to few natural resources, perhaps.
Some boutiques will receive sooner than later.
It’s possible that many pieces have already pre sold their initial allotted inventory, hence the different answers.
Thank you! Yes I heard its sold out for now and that one could add to a wait list but with blocking your$$ , which I don't think is the right way to go as your CC will be charged with know news of when , if at all the goods would be delivered.
I believe that you can still get a refund should you not wish to purchase the piece (s).
Since this stone is going to be part of the permanent collection, you should ultimately be able to buy it.
In fact, there might be an advantage to waiting.
I purchased my malachite 20 (sight unseen) as part of the initial launch. Shortly thereafter, malachite was sold out for a while.
In retrospect I wish I had waited and had taken my time to carefully consider the strand I purchased.
Perfect! Thank you for your advice. I think I would rather wait if it will be part of the permanent collection.
TGG - what do you wish was different about the strand you received?
I wish that my malachite had more pronounced striations like my magic necklace does. Both white and dark green striations with a medium green base.
The one I have is very pretty and actually matches my limited edition 10 motif perfectly.
Even still, I was unable to exchange my 20 for another one because they had sold out during the launch.
Not to be able to see the jewelry before buying is a massive downside for me. It stops me from ordering the Lucky Animal clip. Especially when stones are involved.

TGG, do you often wear your malachite pieces? This is the one stone I do not yet own. I am a blonde. I have been admiring Deloresmia's outfit combinations in the minimalist closet thread and she often shows malachite pieces to coordinate.
I am thinking about adding it to my collection.
I am thinking about adding it to my collection.
I own the 20, the limited edition 10, the magic pendant and the earrings. Malachite is very flattering especially blondes.
I feel like I went a little overboard with malachite perhaps although I love looking at it.
Definitely should reach for it more often.
