I was told it would be the last iteration of the 50th anniversary roll out but given the different info going around, who knows exactly...
Or is it the other way around? Usually vintage bracelet is slightly more expensive than the earrings.
Hmm ... A SA told me that I can [special] order GMOP 5, 6, 10, 16 or 20 motifs in different colored gold. There is a price list for each item. I probably should not post it here as I was told it is offered only to VIPs. This sounds like utter nonsense to me. Go rock the GMOP girls!could be, thought it was strange the earrings were more expensive. or maybe the tags were mixed up or i just remembered incorrectly lol.
my SA in paris told me the same thing. she said a few stones but i remembered GMOP and MOP in particular will be available for SO in all the different golds etc. will take around 4 months she told me and a surcharge of course. i’m not VIP so maybe at Vendome anyone can do it? or maybe it differs by boutique?
oh but she said not available for pendants but earrings, bracelets and necklaces.
Strangely enough, earrings cost more than the bracelet for vintage Alhambra.
I once asked about this (because it’s clearly not based on cost per motif) and was told that the price has something to do with the earring’s mechanism. Who knows...ha.
Not sure if I am missing something. I just checked the US site and the solid gold vintage alhambra earrings are $3750 while the bracelets are $3900.
I am no VIP too. Another form of marketing tactics I guess. I am getting so tired now ....
Yes, no GMOP pendant - not worth their time? The SA could not tell from the price list if there is a 30% premium. The local boutique near me now has more LE pendants to choose from. After seeing quite a lot (about 10), and seeing so many variants and how the SAs will persuade and flatter
$€£¥, I will never buy anything MOP if I cannot compare ... I am so scared that the GMOP I order may be lifeless and then I have to break the motifs and pay for replacement. Haha!
Grey mop as special order ? Cool ! Interestingly my dept store did not feel it would happen anytime soon. Thus the 50th anniversary bracelet
I’m still happy I got it. It’s kind of satisfied my grey mop craving. I wonder how it would look in white gold though ... love it in the Magic 16 necklace [emoji173]️
