2018 - 50th ANNIVERSARY of the ALHAMBRA

I def feel like this slow release strategy is to get us to buy all 3 items. Very sneaky. Hopefully like many people have said, word of the subsequent 2 items will leak after the first item is released.

CG. I do hope they honor your price for the earrings. That would be pretty ****ty.

Sigh. ****ty = crappy.

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

@baghagg, was wondering the same thing - what business model are they following with LEs still available from last year.

Surely they must know by now that we will not be "bullied" into a purchase with an impending price increase - I for one will not be anyway. It has even turned me off somewhat

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.

How is thus any different from some sort of pre-sale?
Are they even allowed to sell these before the official launch?
To quote one price only to increase the price the same day as the launch would be just wrong.
I do hope that they honor the price you were quoted, especially after taking your deposit.

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

Is it possible that this is a just a price adjustment? I assume the original pricing is done in euros, and the euro has become stronger to usd since 2017? So maybe at the time of taking the deposit they expected the price to be $7150 but now by the time of release with the currency fluctuation they have to adjust it?
Either way if deposit was taken and a certain price was quoted, they will honor the original price if it’s mentioned on any of the paperwork.

Oh I also remember one more thing about the 3 pieces that are going to be slow released over 6 months for the 50th. My SA said they are not limited edition pieces so we don’t need to rush to buy them. They will become part of the permanent collection for Alhambra.

Thank you @MYH , that's really fantastic news. Hoping new stones are introduced!!! Now this news definitely gives me incentive to not purchase until I see the new pieces.

Fantastic news!!! I am so hoping that the new stone is grey mother of pearl!!!

EUR to USD has been consistent since the initial prices were given (about 2 weeks ago) - can’t see an increase ONLY on a particular collection because of currency fluctuations/volatility.

It is a deliberate act on VCA’s part to increase the prices on the FRIVOLE COLLECTION to coincide with their New release.

NOT at all nice on VCA’s part IMHO! Really puts a damper on a new release!
