2018 - 50th ANNIVERSARY of the ALHAMBRA

[Coconuts40]

I’m wondering if customers will choose to buy along the way (with the SA’s keeping quiet) or will elect to wait to see what’s coming next before making any major purchases?
I don’t care for this slow release strategy...but I am thankful to know about it.

I'm hoping that by the time the first piece gets released, the SA's will have more intel about what's coming next. That would definitely help everyone make the right purchase for themselves.

The SA’s know what’s going to be offered.
They simply aren’t allowed to share this information with us.

I am disappointed that there is a pre-launch price for the Frivole and then nearer the launch date, there is an increase.

Does anyone know if it’s just on the Frivole line?

Sorry, should have kept this on topic...

But I understand perfectly well about being selective [emoji1360]

To introduce a price increase simultaneously with a product launch on that specific item just seems....mean.

Did they say when they’re allowed to share?

Reminds me of the price increase that happened at the same time as the introduction of the Holiday 2017 pendant. And it's still available on the website, btw.

Do you recall last year, not too long after the launch of the LE Earrings, the US had a major price increase?

A lovely TPFer and I were discussing the 50th - we both got the impression that we on TPF are really not that important in the greater scheme of things ( speaking specifically about VCA here).

Kind of sad really ...

@sammix3, the SAs themselves probably don’t even know.

We can only hope [emoji1374]

Exactly.
This one wasn’t embraced with enthusiasm.

Feel the same...They are "too" smart...Talk about corporate greed

It will be interesting to see if they increase the prices on the new Frivole pieces when released in a few days. I was given a price when I ordered the earrings and I expect them to honor it.

If you were quoted $7150, the new price is $7400

 

[Cavalier Girl]

HADASSA, I made a deposit of half the price of $7150, so I expect them to honor it.

And they should CG - can't understand these price increases on a specific collection just before a launch

It may have hurt them on the onyx/diamond VA earrings as they are still available. Strange business model..
