Thank you so much, ShyShy! I promise to show restraint.

Why can't they do alternating motifs (which is characteristic of LE's) with just plain yg or pg motifs?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.
Leave the diamonds out or save that version for those VVIP's.....
My lips are sealed. Thank you for sharing any further intel.
Okay so there will be 3 different stones on offer, GMOP, lapis and onyx. All with alternating diamonds it seems. It’s still early days so not sure what will be offered. Could be necklaces, bracelets, etc much like the malachite/pave pieces. Not sure what gold LL will be paired with (likely YG) but I think onyx will be paired with WG.
ShyShy thank you so much for the intel!
Oh I wish VCA would not be so exclusive for their 50th offerings. I love LL so much but sadly I don't think I am in the market right now for alternating pave pieces. There are so many other things that I want and I don't think I can justify this right now. However I can't wait to see all these gorgeous pieces!!!
I am right there with you. You said what I was thinking and feeling. Realistically pave is not in my budget given my goals for 2018 which includes trying to do a better job of saving money. I have mixed feelings. Ultimately I would like to have something special from the 50th Ann but if it is pave maybe it’s okay because it will save me money to buy something else on my wish list. Will be so interesting to see what happens.
You’re welcome! To be honest I’m super excited to see every offering. Although I’ve spent way too much on VCA in the last few months already...
You’re welcome coconut! I’m the same. I think the pieces will be amazing with pave but I don’t think I’ll be able to justify spending so much. I’m hoping there will be smaller offerings like earrings in addition to 10 or 20 motifs.
I was thinking the same thing about earrings - like the LE Onyx PG earrings offered last year but in Grey MOP/PG instead.
Or even VA Pave earrings in PG...
Thanks for the update ShyShy. How I would love something in grey MOP. I don't know if I can justify an alternate diamond 10 motif though especially considering that I don't even really care for the 10 motif length and prefer 20 motif length. I am still hoping for something without the alternating diamonds but I can see why VCA would use diamonds given how special the occasion is.
I’m excited to see our members here model them! I probably won’t be picking up any of these pricier pieces either. I love LL and grey mop though. Thank you also ShyShy for the detailed info and updates. Your details make the anticipation of the unveiling even more exciting.
i am also a bit bummed if our only options for GMOP are alternating diamonds...if so, i shall admire your purchases from afar
