I'm so excited to hear there will be a lapis option! Heading off to search all chair and couch cushions for spare change!

I’m with you........I think my Birkin dream is more realistic!!!
Ouch! [emoji32] It's painful! [emoji33]
So excited on the gray MOP!! ShyShy you just made my day. Was there any mention of the timing of the releases! I will get the 10 motif for sure.
Yeah, I know...that's why i had to figure it out myself.
I already knew what the bracelet and the malachite/pave cost so it wasn't too much of a shock. I have been wondering for a long time how I could get a VCA necklace with some pave in it considering that the all pave is over $50k. ☹️☹️☹️
BBC, the Malachite alternating Pave bracelet is $13,100 - so estimating the Grey MOP/ Pave to be about $12,500.
I think a 10 alternating necklace might be closer to $27,500.
Either way, we clamoured for GREY MOP but not at those price points.
We still must hold out hope [emoji1374]
Gray MOP! 
Alternating pave. I'll continue to hope (pray) that there's something "affordable" for the rest of us.I visited with my SA when I was in NY over the holidays. He mentioned there would be special items coming this year, but he said (as others have before him) that there would be something that has not been done before. He also said that VIP clients will get first crack and there may not be anything left after that because it will be very limited.

I hope when he said that, he considered you VIP [emoji1357]
lol, maybe that was his subtle way of encouraging me to make more purchases before everything comes out.

At the end of the day, your best interest at heart is $$$$$$ in their pockets
I had mentally planned to give up buying a Birkin, a Kelly and a few accessories for 2018 - to get one or two VCA pieces - but now realize it would be exactly one piece, the 10 motif, based on these estimates.
I am now just hoping that they simply add the non-pave grey mop pg set (10, 20, bracelet, earrings) into their overall collection. I just told two of their global brand Ambassadors (via IG) that they should think about that as a significant part of their customer base would be interested in buying something new and/or different - and truly desired- at a lower price point, closer to other Alhambra pieces. I definitely would like LL too and am glad that it at least doesn’t seem to be only attached to pave. On the third one, if it’s turquoise (and only for VIPs), I may cry real tears. 
I would be surprised if there’s not more affordable options. They’re more likely to sell 100 piece of grey MOP 10 motif at €8000 than 20pieces Grey MOP/Pave at €30000 surely? [emoji848][emoji848]
I can understand for Lapis since it’s limited in quantity that they would make only 20 motif Lapis/Pave but Gray MOP isn’t that hard to source?
