No, I think it'll only be limited production of the rock crystal. Where as Blue agate will form part of the permanent collection after its limited release.

Its completely understandable how confusing these limited items are.
Limited edition vs limited release vs limited production....:sad:

It is expensive. Maybe I just bring the item to get cleaned. Will they charge for the cleaning?

I was told that they no longer clean it without authentication unless you buy it from the boutique. The reason is that there are too many people just bring in for cleaning in order to get the authentication... but you should check with your SA! Maybe you will get better luck!

Oh, this is why the boutique I went cleaned my bracelet. They told me, I can come get it cleaned any time. It was a courtesy of course. Also maybe because I bought other jewelry from them. While I was in the boutique, there was a lady came in and had her necklace cleaned and left. Thank you for letting me know.

If I buy a pre-loved VCA necklace, will I able to get a certificate from the VCA boutique? How inch wil it be the fee to get one?

Based on what I know, VCA will not re-issue a certificate of authentication; you will have to send it in for authentication and if it is real, VCA will issue a letter confirming that. It costs about 1,000 euro for authentication. I seem to get the impression (and I don’t know why) that if your piece is authentic, whether it comes with papers or not is not very important (even if you resell later on) and VCA will still service your piece.

Ladies, there’s a chance that I might be offered the lapis and/or RC bracelets very soon. My SA text me and told me to come in tomorrow and said I would be “very happy”. I was thrilled at first but as I read through the thread once again, I am concerned how true the exclusivity it is. The lapis is pretty pricey and I have a few other items on my list. Even though I’ve always loved the lapis color and the RC is surprisingly elegant, I also do not really need another or two bracelet(s)... I am worried that after all it’s not that limited and I will regret buying them later. I hate this game VCA is playing...

Any opinion/suggestion?
