2022 Holiday Pendant

[Ylesiya]

Frankly speaking I don't know how exactly HPs are allocated.
To me it feels like there are tiers of customers and whatever amount is received is divided and allocated to these tiers otherwise "mortals" would not get any at all - only VVIPs would have been offered.
I am definitely not a high spender. I did not even expect to be offered the pendant this year. However, I am quite well known as a collector and a person with the brand and jewellery knowledge - maybe this is taken into account somehow? I also highly doubt SAs would be bothered to write extensive write ups for the HQ to explain why this or that client deserves the pendant. Nor the HQ would have time or desire to read why some Ylesiya from god know where deserves to be allocated a tiny little porcelain clover Surely this must be a simpler process.

Same here. I have a very humble collection as I started my VCA journey just months ago. I am slowly growing my collection. Initially, I was very embarrassed to reveal that I got offered when others have a long history and substantial spend with the brand and are disappointed over not getting it. I would hate to make it worse for them. I decided to share the pic to help others who are sitting on the fence decide if they want it.

I do think that I was very lucky and as the saying goes, every dog has its day. For all you know, next year's going to be 10 times more gorgeous and those who have missed it this year may get them! I may end up having to get from a reseller. You must have a little luck factor in this game. On a sidenote, I had a very hard time trying to find the 5 motif Lucky Spring bracelet. I have waited for more than half a year with no luck. I went to Italy for a holiday and tadaah.. found it in Rome! My SA was really happy for me. *happy dance*

So don't lose hope sisters! Your lucky day will come!

I wanted to clarify my recent posts, I think it is great that new clients are getting the pendent offered. That’s what made the HP fun and special! I think whoever wants an HP should get one and there shouldn’t be any of these games. Don’t be embarrassed at all that you were offered one!! Enjoy it! Personally I don’t love this year’s pendent to buy it (if I would even be offered) but my issue is how VCA/SAs are going on and on about Paris, spend history, spend locations, “the list” etc yet they aren’t even consistent with how they are allocating their own HP. It’s upsetting for the ones that love the pendent and look forward it to every year! I hope everyone that wants it ends up getting it!

I was in Paris over weekend and asked a salesperson at VCA about holiday pendant out of curiosity. She said she can only sell to clients living in France for now.

I think this puts a burden on the sales associates to deal with upset customers. We have heard over and over that "Paris" or "headquarters" is approving a list. I am sure some of the sales associates are having to turn away their favorite customers.

All my SA told me last week when I inquired about the HP was that she had to see what the store allocation looked like. I asked to be added to the list in June. Still waiting to hear back unfortunately!

I was told that if there are still stocks available by the 15th it will be released to the public.

Here’s mine

just saw DID list one for reselling. And saw a couple of others listed elsewhere too, Last year it came a little late to the resale market. This year it came the very next day, if this was a tactic to get rid of resellers, it’s only backfired! Sigh!

HPs popping up on reseller sites....
Very negative publicity for VCA.
Whatever strategy they think they have to curb resellers and high mark up is definitely not working.

Just received mine by secured delivery service.

Did some pics out in the sun, and inside, next to my 2012 Letterwood HP and my 2020 WG Guilloché, and next to Chopard turquoise and Tiffany blue



The pendant has some texture, it is beautiful in real life. It is definitely a pastel green but less saturated than the Tiffany blue.

I’ve been watching this thread for the last month and am excited to show you my pendant.

I did an Instagram video reel (check out username @nadiatayob ) of what the 2022 hp pendant looks like in many different light settings to showcase the color as well as the experience purchasing it, but it’s definitely a mix of blue and green.
It is a very pretty color.

To those who are still waiting on theirs or their offer for one I am sending out good vibes and positive thoughts that you receive one.

And if you don’t; I love how a previous poster said that while you may not get one this year… maybe you are going to get an even better one next year! ❤️

Interesting to hear that this piece is already popping up on reseller websites - I haven't come across any. How are they pricing them considering this was legit JUST released?

Saw one from a singaporean reseller for about $5500.

Just got my holiday pool tile! I love it!

I took some video which is more true to color than photos:

So I know that I would prefer it extended - I think VCA will allow you to add 2 inches to this necklace if anyone can confirm.

Secondly, I’ve seen HPs where people have gotten the year engraved on the back. Has anyone else gotten their HPs engraved?
