Responding to your question on this thread, since it is a 50th offering [emoji1360]

I feel you were just toying with us [emoji6]

I would have loved the opportunity to be offered something like this [emoji7]
I do feel very lucky to be offered this exquisite piece as I am nowhere near a VIP or typical big spender at VCA. I just shop regularly and slowly acquired pieces over time which I love and have been with the same SA and shop at the same store since I started this journey 7 years ago.
But because I was not expecting this at all, I was startled to be offered and had not budgeted such a big purchase at this point in time! And I also did not realize it was priced more than the other alternating pave diamond 5 motifs such as malachite and onyx. Can anyone shed light as to why would the lapis be so much more costly? I would be dropping by the store to view this piece in person tomorrow. :smile:

Lapis is hard to come by because VCA used to source their Lapis from Afghanistan, which is a war torn country and availability now might be very little to none.

The Lapis is also a Limited edition piece for the 50th Anniversary, while the Onyx and Grey MOP forms part of the Permanent Collection and will always be available.

Don't give it a second thought - JUST BUY IT ALREADY !!!!:biggrin:

If you don't mind my mom doing the modeling picture :) but she put it in the safe for me. I think I will collect the necklace together with the watch late this year. Sorry for the wait. I am sure the ladies here will love to share the Lapis set before I get to :)

Just waiting (im)patiently to see that gorgeous necklace [emoji7]

Don’t mind your mum modelling at all if she would oblige [emoji1374]

You and @Iyang are the only two members we know who got the privilege to own this awesome piece [emoji7]
