Hello! I just visited Sydney store today but wanted to note that when I went on Sunday, the lapis ones were on display (bracelet and necklace if I’m not mistaken).
I was asking my SA out of interest because I’ve seen on TPF.
She did confirm it’s the 50th Anniversary pieces and asked if I want to have a look and try.
After finding out the prices, I decline as it’s not something I can afford now or anytime sooner so I didn’t want to waste her time.
Would you like my SA details?
I don’t know much about international policy but perhaps VCA Australia can assist?
"Fingers crossed" means to HOPE for good luck. It may not necessarily mean that you WILL have luck.
TGG is right - it sends a very ambiguous message and contrary to Jacques Arpels' quote, "To be lucky, you have to believe in luck."
The word "HOPE" connotes less certainty than "BELIEVE."

When I saw the finger crossed lapis ad, my first thought/impression was - come to get me, IF you have "such" luck.
Somehow there has a challenging tone embedding inside the ad. Maybe I read too much
Sadly, there was - I don't think you read too much into it at all. Indeed very misleading...When I saw the finger crossed lapis ad, my first thought/impression was - come to get me, IF you have "such" luck.

Ladies,
Please correct me if I’m mistaken.
We are talking about the lapis pieces that are made in limited quantity and offered to only selected clients - correct? (Which in turn has eliminated many VCA loyal clients).
So the ads is ‘mean’ so to speak - due to the above reason?
Apology for being so daft!
I was offered to try the 50th Anniversary lapis pieces but I declined after finding out the prices as it’s not something I can afford now or anytime sooner so I didn’t want to waste her time.
But because the SA did that (so kind to offer me - whom doesn’t have any purchase history) I didn’t realise they are very exclusive and only reserved to certain clients.
Unless I’m missing the point here...

Got my crystal rock necklace. Want to share it with everyone. It will match any color cloth you have on. Very versatile
I feel like VCA has taken a page out of the Hermès’s playbook. You have to be “offered” certain pieces now. Much like the Birkin Kelly shenanigans. I guess they figure it’s working for Hermès, so why not make it work for them too.
It appears that your boutique is the exception by openly displaying this particular piece...possibly because this boutique is new.
Right right...
Or VCA is not popular here
so not much demand hence a peon like me could have the privilege of being offered to try it Though please let me know if I can help anyone who is looking for the lapis...
Happy to check pieces out or share my SA details
My understanding is that you may be offered but approval comes from head officeRight right...
