Thank you!! That’s what I thought. I know the 2019 holiday pendant was available online for a long time...

The 2019 pendant was available up until last month. They probably just pulled it in preparation for this one. I mean, it’s been 8 months since the 2019 holidays. Last year’s pendant was definitely a bust but I think this year’s might be more desirable.

Why do you think the 2019 holiday pendant was a bust?
I thought the color was beautiful! It was unpopular?

I only have the 2013 holiday pendant, I never thought of getting any after that.
I am wondering if I should go for the WG guilloche this year,
I am trying to build up a white gold collection and it might be a nice addition.

I didn’t think it was widely popular because it was readily available for sooooo long (almost a whole year since its release). In the previous years, they were only available for the few months surrounding the holidays and then sold out.

I am in the same boat regarding this year’s HP. I’m just not a WG person but there is definitely some attraction. I’m waiting on mod shots before I decide. But I do think that if you were already planning on jumpstarting a WG collection, this would be a great first piece. The price point is also great. YG guilloche is now at $3450. At $3850 for WG plus diamond, it’s like VCA is giving you the diamond for free! Of course, this is relative to VCA type pricing, since their diamond prices are super inflated for what you get.

Thank you for clarifying dear!
I am also waiting for more photos of this item, I was thinking of a pave pendant in wg to go with my new bracelet but I just find myself interested in this more. I guess all we can do is wait and see :)

I think it's because it had a few issues. The biggest one is the tapering/lightening of color as the stone is nearing the edge. The saturation didn't look uniformly even. A lot people were complaining about that plus the actual stone itself wasn't as desirable.

Thank you for your answer.
I wonder if this was the reason behind making a guilloche holiday pendant this year.

I think it was the type of stone. At these prices we need better looking stones and quality materials (not porcelain). I love blue and have the agate bracelet, but didn’t give the 2019 pendant any consideration.

All that time I thought it was a blue agate stone, I didn't pay much attention to it:eek:
I see now what you mean. Thank you dear for answering :)
