I would account for at least a 30-35% loss unless you sell privately but then assume the risk of being scammed. Jewelry is not a good investment unless it is an extremely rare/LE piece. VCA holds its value better than other brands but you will still likely lose money when reselling.

Plenty of people lose 1000s when selling VCA. But they also don’t stress about it because they’re letting go for whatever reason. They’re done with it or want something different. Most people that sell expect it. If you’re already trying to reduce the loss upon selling you’re better off not getting it cause it sounds like you aren’t going to keep it and have concerns about how much you will recuperate.

Does anybody know about resale value of Hp from previous years? I love it now, but might change my mind in few years. I just don’t want to loose too much money.

I bought and sold the grey mop holiday pendant. I purchased it a couple of years ago (at a premium over the original retail price), and I sold it on Vestiaire Collective at an even higher price. I lost maybe $300, which I considered to be pretty good since I had paid more than retail to begin with. I think it really depends on the pendant and the popularity/desirability of it.

I was told there is NO option to keep the jump ring at the original shortest length. They just keep the one at 16 and add 2 more inches and put a jump ring at 18. This is how my HP 2018 was lengthened.
It is the same standard everywhere. I specifically asked to keep the one at the shortest length but it was a no go...

I think it’s still possible to have all 3 length options, maybe it just depends on the salesperson or boutique. I took a couple of holiday pendants in to one of the boutiques in LV to be lengthened in January and they sent it back to me with only 2 jump rings. I told them I meant to have all 3 rings for length options and they took it back no problem and corrected the issue. Hopefully that policy hasn’t changed.

Exactly! This is the point I was trying to make to @Enzoni. You hit the nail on the head with the last statement.

I have the Limited Edition Onyx Holiday Earrings. They were released a few months after the Onyx Holiday pendant I believe in 2016.
I may be wrong on year so please correct me if I am :smile:. Here is a photo of my pendant, 20 motif and earrings. Sorry so big....:sad:View attachment 4852971

Lovely! I am so curious to know if the holiday earrings’ back have the same finish as the pendants or like the underside of magic rings. Lol

I just walked out of the boutique and managed to purchase one and it was the most unpleasant visit I’ve ever had there. When I got there I was told it was sold out, but luckily the manager sold me one he had for a client who didn’t need it right away. I had to wait awkwardly for it to come up from the storage room (it was in a box) and it was difficult to look at much because everything was sold out. I didn’t get a certificate either. All the SAs were running around frantic it seemed. I didn’t take any pics and didn’t even get to look at my item (I looked at someone else’s necklace). Ok, rant over. At least I was able to walk out with it but man, this was pandemic shopping to a T.

This was at the 5th ave boutique? Honestly this is shocking! I'm sorry you had such an unpleasant experience. I was there less than a week ago and was told there were plenty of HPs left.

I’ve been there many times and this has never happened to me before. I am going to let it go as I know it was pandemic related but man, I just needed to vent a little.

I haven’t received my certificate yet either. Crazy they don’t stock up before a price increase.
