I think some of us (myself included) just want to see something different in the HP. Yes, it is Alhambra design, but seeing it in a never before done stone is more exciting than the already played out guilloche design in a different metal color. Plus at a markup than the regular vintage pendants, I want different. That’s my thought process.
Well, they haven't done RG guilloche yet and don't have one in their permeant line, that sounds like never been done to me. If they release a HP in YG guilloche with a diamond or another MOP then I'll agree with you that it's unoriginal and lazy. But truth is, we all want different things and hope that the HP would be made in our preferred choice of metal/stone so we don't have to pay for a SO for something we really want.
They have an rg guilloche line with alternating carnelian. I really hope it’s not guilloche because that’s so boring. A nice new colorful stone is more fun.
I know that. I'm merely stating the fact that there isn't a single vintage alhambra pendant in RG yet so if they do release one as HP pendant at least it's not something that they've done before, just the same realm as the WG HP pendant which now turning into a permeant line.
I don’t find it catty or whiny to say that I’d be disappointed if this year’s HP is RG guilloche. It isn’t an attack; it’s merely my honest opinion. Someone said that their SA said it won’t be a stone, so some suggested it might be RG guilloche. And in turn, I said I hope it wouldn’t be as that would be unoriginal/not exciting. For me, the HP, is usually the one-off pendant in my collection. A pendant that doesn’t have its matching set (kind of annoying at times which is why many are hoping for a pair of matching earrings)! If it is RG guilloche, it can definitely match with the alternating RG guilloche collection that was launched last year. In any case, these past 2 years, I felt like VCA has really been pushing the new guilloche design. And with the 2020 HP being WG guilloche, doing guilloche again would just be too soon. I wouldn’t mind RG guilloche a few years down the road, but for me, it’s just been TOO much guilloche everywhere. And I’m sure like the hammered collection, VCA will probably release a whole RG guilloche line sometime down the road since it seems like a very popular request.I know that. I'm merely stating the fact that there isn't a single vintage alhambra pendant in RG yet so if they do release one as HP pendant at least it's not something that they've done before, just the same realm as the WG HP pendant which now turning into a permeant line.
Just like I said, we all have our preferences. I thought this thread is meant to be fun for us to guess what the metal/stone combo it'll be until VCA does the official reveal. I'm totally fine if it's not a RG guilloche or other stones that I'm hoping for. But lately a few comments come across as quite catty and whiny, instead of staying on topic some people here just attack others' guesses because it's not their cup of tea.
But no hints what so ever!!!
I would love to put a deposit on the HP but I’d rather know what I’m putting a deposit on before hand.My SA is taking deposits already too!
Same...sounds like buying an expensive blind box toy
