These are the matching Magic earrings I believe she ordered as well :
And here is the 16-motifs which might cost you seeing 31 with the hubs

Amazing. I love the necklace and then the pic of the earrings and ring sent me over the edge.
Sigh.Here you go

I love how she paired the magic necklace with the 20-motif, and complemented her jewels with that fun, yet elegant, polka dot top! Yes, must put "win the lottery" on my to do list.
I'd love a turquoise Alhambra set in WG but $122,000?????!!!! That's a whole different level of "splurging"
OMG, this pave pink gold is beyond. My nose is pressed against the computer monitor as I gaze in envy. Wow!!
So.... today a London SA let me in on the upcoming 50th anniversary release.
The good news is that it's going to be affordable....
The bad, well at least for me it was hard to mask the disappointment on my face.... but I'm sure a lot of you will be happy...
It's going to be WG and Onyx vintage Alhambra. From what I understood a 20 motif and a bracelet will be offered for a few month only, starting end of November or early December.
I did press quite hard in regards to turquoise, since that is what I was hoping for, and she said they simply don't have enough of it to produce in mass to stock all the boutiques around the world, that whatever turquoise is left is reserved for the haute joaillerie pieces and repairs of the existing pieces in circulation. Occasionally once or twice a year some boutiques will receive a pair of vintage WG turquoise earrings or a bracelet which is made when they find some old pieces laying around ("leftovers").
I really hope this news makes at least some of you happy

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing !

Do you know if the pieces will have the alternating motifs like LE’s in years past?
The timing seems strange though. It seems more like a special Holiday offering than an official 50th celebratory piece.
Yes. Am I wrong for not being excited about this? Besides the fact that I don't wear much WG I just thought it would something a bit different, not basically the same as what they already offer. [emoji42][emoji42][emoji42]

Phew, I just saved a lot of money
If it is WG/Onyx I am certainly not interested. I love WG but I cannot wear onyx. Just doesn't work with my complexion at all.
With that said, for a 50th anniversary it is disappointing.
Wow -- if this proves true, it will also seem to prove that VCA is NOT listening! I was dreaming of turquoise but counting on grey mop in yg and pg! As far I know, grey mop is not scarce and would also complement VCA's wg pave diamonds. Darn!
Makes me wonder what their business plan is (price reductions -- really??) and what their marketing group is basing their decisions on.

I wonder if other offerings will be released in addition to this? I sure hope so because it was exciting when we heard rumors of new stones being released in honor of the 50th Anniversary! Though onyx may be beautiful, I hope to see something even more creative from VCA.
This 100%
VCA is not listening to their customers and onyx set in white gold doesn’t feel special enough for such a significant commemoration.
