I asked my NM SA again today about the blue agate earrings. She told me that they found out today they will not be receiving it, and it will be only the freestanding boutiques in the USA.
This is the info for now, at least.
I read somewhere but can’t find it now that someone was having a bit of trouble with dirt and maybe skin?? 
getting caught in their guilloche bracelet. I was having a similar problem and polishing with the black vca cloth was not cutting it. I decided to rub a little bit of dish washing soap (method) onto the motifs and lather them up. Then I rinsed and patted dry with a kitchen dishcloth. It was good as new. Super shiny! Hope this helps anyone experiencing the same problem.

this was me!! thanks for the tip, i use this method to clean my diamond jewellery but with a soft toothbrush but hasn’t thought just using soap and lathering alone. i worry the toothbrush would scratch the gold otherwise i would have cleaned it this way.
Oh hey!! So glad you read my post. I think a soft toothbrush maybe ok but I found just lathering between my fingers works great.
I saw this one in October — not sure If this is what you meant .
It is very interesting, but small. I enjoyed seeing the variety of different alhambra options that are not made today.
I saw a 50th anniversary pop up with limited edition pieces at Dubai mall in November. There was also a dedicated mall buggy at the pop up to drive you to the store. Not sure if these have already been posted here as I haven’t gone through the entire thread..Attachments

A closeup of guilloché and blue agate. With my mop and malachite.
So far no dings or dents in my guilloché and I have been wearing it stacked with other vca bracelets.
