Given that I will be celebrating the same "anniversary" next year, I do think VCA ought to listen to me & make whatever it is in WG for purely selfish reasons! :p Know that's most unlikely, so I'm going to be very disappointed!! DH will just have to buy me a yacht instead! (very much tongue-in-cheek) lol! Think that could be a whole new thread; I can't have x so you'll have to buy me y instead!
 
The wait for the announcement is going to be excruciating lol.

Me too!! Since this thread was created and I saw it, I have been checking twice a day to see if anyone adds info lol!! I'm dying over here!!

We are hoping that the VCA peeps take a swing by this sub-forum sometimes, so feel free to make your wishes known.

It may not ALL come true but hey, there's no harm in wishing, am I right?

Lots of new "faces" on the Forum too - maybe they might have some wonderful intel to share [emoji1360]

It would be smart for VCA to read these forums. It's a form of market research for them in the purest sense.
 
I completely agree, I understand they have been emailing surveys recently. All they need to do is read this forum and see what we are looking for :)

I don't know what they will decide on for the 50th, but I do hope they don't limit the options to just one piece such as a necklace only. I do hope they offer multiple options and perhaps at multiple price points. I just don't want them to launch an alternating pave/stone necklace that will be too unrealistic for me and possibly others to purchase.

I agree! Especially if the alternating motif has diamonds, I would be priced out for sure. :frown:

I hope that VCA will offer a collection similar to the one they offered when they launched Letterwood.
The hallmark of LE vintage alhambra has been stones alternating with solid gold so my hope/wish is for any special LE piece to share this feature. As for stones, I can see VCA going in two directions (only guesses here, of course!):
They could offer pieces that commemorate the original necklace (in this case all yg) but to make this special alternate with pave motifs (cost prohibitive for most).
They could offer a stone that is TRULY limited such as lapis, turquoise, or gray mother of pearl.
The easiest one to offer would be gray mother of pearl in terms of material availability.
It has been approved for special orders and MANY collectors have requested this stone for years.
Wishful thinking on my part but whatever VCA chooses to offer will be beautiful, no doubt.
 
I have this necklace and I love it, the first photo is the website pic and the last one is not a great photo but shows you how it can be worn long.

Lovely! I can't seem to find this on the US site. Can you possibly direct me? I would love this as a birthday present from DH. Also, would you mind letting me know the price? [emoji253][emoji4]
 
Just thinking they may wait for the holidays to be over before providing some intel on the 50th anniversary piece.
Gray MOP alternating with PG would be my wish
This is probably correct.
What VCA should understand is that within this current economic environment customers are more conservative with their spending. This translates into customers waiting to make major purchases so it might be a wise decision for VCA to reveal new releases sooner rather than later.
