Looks like I'm priced out of everything but the GMOP pendant and (single) earrings, as everything else has pave if I'm reading the above correctly. In a way, I'm thankful - less temptation means I can stick to my current wishlist. :)

I’m trying to picture the GMOP pendant and earrings as these will likely be the only things on my radar price-wise as well. Is the thought that these will be similar to the limited edition pendant from a few years back, but without the central diamond?IMG_0347.jpg

So i went to VCA today to put a deposit on a Magic ring. My SA showed my the pictures of the new offerings. Gorgeous 2 motif earrings of GMOP and Pave in RG, alternating 20 motif GMOP and pave with RG, 5 motif alternating GMOP and pave RG bracelet, single motif pave earrings in RG, and single motif pave pendant in RG. These last 2 do not have GMOP, they are new because they are RG. I did not see a ring but from the announcement I suspect the ring is single motif pave in RG (no GMOP).

Hi cece1! I don't have any prices but will ask when I stop in to see my SA on Saturday. I just assumed all would be pricey due to all the diamond bling - LOL! I'll share any pricing info that I find out about.

That would be awesome! I just checked the VCA site and was thinking that the price might be similar to the malachite and pave bracelet. Hopefully lower since onyx is usually priced lower than malachite.

Thanks for the clarification. Thought the single pendant was GMOP. The RG pave makes total sense.

Ugh. So much pave. Not only will the prices be :panic:, they will also not be everyday casual pieces which I prefer. Ok. Good to know. Back to reconsidering items from the current offerings.

Perhaps VCA is offering all the pave for the special occasion (50th) and will offer the non pave gmop later on. I hope so. Vintage Alhambra has always been considered their everyday collection (not high jewelry) so to produce so many pieces with pave seems to run contrary to the original intent for the line. It also seems that to a certain extent VCA has lost touch with their loyal customer base.
Now offered are items on far ends of the spectrum- either pave or sweets.
Many of us are more interested in pieces that can be enjoyed every day.
