They already released a WG guilloche HP in 2020
Sincere Question: if people aren’t regular wearers of Van Cleef, why would they even want the holiday pendant? Do you think that there are people out there that like only the holiday pendant (of all the Van Cleef pieces) and nothing else? I think there are lots of regular long time collectors who do not want to buy the holiday pendant, regardless of stone. Is it only perceived scarcity that drives the demand up or something inherent about this piece that makes it that much more attractive than other pieces.
If they really love it…I would Have to think that they love it. Why spend $4k on something you don’t love . I guess there could be people that like nothing from VCA except the holiday pendant?
I don't have any vca pieces yet but wanted to start my collection with something a little unique and not everyone will have. Esp now on insta, I see everyone wearing the gold MOP necklace and the other stones they have don't really attract me thatttt much yet. I've liked the previous HPs so I thought why not
Many flip the HP. You should see how many "brand new, never worn" HPs are out there a month or two after it gets released.
People get desperate to buy due to the hype and FOMO kicks in, especially during the holiday season.
Last year, there were many brand new HPs being flipped it.
There is so much hype around this HP, and I also think some people want it out of emotion... again...FOMO.
Oh... and then after Christmas, when the hype is over, you should see how many used HPs are for sale as people realize they don't really love this pendant anymore. It's funny if you track the HP pendant; you can see that trend is there.
Be true to thyself is all I can say. Don't let marketing or hype dictate or side track you from buying jewelry you truly love.

Hi! I think this is a super cute idea (I used to think this was silly, but not anymore after I heard the history of the HP).
I want to share the history of the HP as you are buying one for your daughter, and I think you will enjoy this background.
My SA told me the original intent of the HP pendant was for clients who had made a purchase for themselves during the holidays, and they could get the HP for their daughter. That was the original intent of the HP; it was a gift for a daughter during the holidays.
My SA said since then, it has morphed into a frenzy, many of which are new buyers (some are flippers), hence VCA wanted to reel this back in to its original intent.
The way you are buying the pendant for your soon to be baby is exactly the intent! It's perfect.
I hope you get your pendant, and I would hope if you tell your SA that's what you want it for, the boutique will probably bump you up on the list. Good luck!

HP are the “real” limited pieces from this brand (unless you can spot another soon-to-retire popular design like the turquoise clovers/ turquoise lucky ring) others regular piece always come back in stock, I can see the reason, some ppl like the brand, but not enough to collect every piece from them, would like to have one or two pieces from this brand and one will usually holiday pendant, unique (every year is different and only released during those few months), timeless and easy to wear design, signature design (clover), and relatively “entry price level” piece comparing to the house’s other creation lol
If the annual spending is USD25k before tax, it’s equivalent to mean buying a perlee bangle every year just to secure a spot for HP LOL
I collect last year HP engraving my girl’s name, thinking to collect one more for myself if the stone is right XD finger crossed this rumor ain’t true XD

I have seen last year HP reselling as high as Usd5k lol that’s really insane….the reseller could be annoying but for this who already own the piece at retail price would “feel good” for “a brief moment” that the piece got a temporary capital gain “on paper” XD
Thank you for sharing! I mentioned the reason to my SA back in July so hopefully she remembers! But don’t want to pressure her too much - if it doesn’t work out, I’ll find another engraveable piece - lots of eye candy for sure haha
LOL I can totally see how you can’t unsee that once the first impression sets in…ah can’t wait for a leak, a good distraction for these days
Yeah. You’re prob right. I never think about flipping. Why go through all the trouble. But people think differently.
