I thought that that particular LE was only offered in 10 motifs. The launch was to commemorate the 70th anniversary of VCA's presence in New York also referred to as the American Adventure. It was offered in the US only. 100 pieces of alternating lapis and YG and 100 LE pieces of alternating malachite and YG ten motif necklaces were made. Are you possibly thinking of the blue porcelain that is only offered in Paris?

It was definitely lapis, Maybe it was a special order? It was the first and only time I’ve ever seen VCA lapis which is way more beautiful than their blue porcelain. I asked if I could purchase it and they said a customer had already paid a deposit so they cannot sell it to me. It was at the London Bond Street store.

Natalie, totally off topic - did you ever find out from your ASIA SA what is being offered? You can PM me if you wish.
 
@911snowball I think it was the all yg and they still do that so presumably would come up with something different. I know, they're going to charge us 1968 prices! Now wouldn't that be fab!!
Jules, if you will be travelling outside the EU, have you considered the TAX FREE options? Meaning, collect at airport and NOT pay the 20% VAT?

I can give you the name of an SA to help with that :tup:

Hi H, My SA replied that she asked her manager who had no idea of any Asia exclusives being launched anytime soon. She asked head office and they still haven’t gotten back to her. Seems to be very secretive whatever it is! If I hear something I’ll let you know [emoji6]
 
R, I just saw a magic pave necklace, don't remember how many motives, but it was long, in pink gold with Carnelian in Hong Kong. They said it was HK flagship exclusive. It was to die for!!!

OMG J, this must be what they were talking about. Did you take any pics? It must have been crazy expensive ‍♀️
 
I'm so sorry ladies, I didn't take a picture as they were watching me and I felt strange asking.
It was out of this world beautiful!!! The price must be exorbitant too...
No worries J, it would have been out of my league anyway - Magic will be too long and the pave will definitely make it cost prohibitive :sad:

Glad you are enjoying your Magic Earrings though but the 3-motifs would have been so you :loveeyes:

Oh Hadassa, I agree with you so much. VCA has so many options in warm tones - letter wood, carnelian, gold. But it is missing blue and cooler tones. With lapis and turquoise barely present in collections we need a blue.

I think perhaps we need to send the link of this thread to VCA head office!:eek:

Totally agree! I'm a bigger fan of purples (can you imagine VCA using purpleite -- see attached) and blues (very interested in the blue TE) and WG everything.

VCA has opened me up to PG and YG, but with my wedding set in WG, I don't wear VCA daily.

Purple would be so beautiful and something not common for VCA and therefore would be a beautiful and new stone. I am so disappointed with the 2017 Holiday pendant, that I hope they don't also disappoint us with the 50th anniversary options.
