My sweet husband called VCA to order me the yellow gold vintage Alhambra Guilloche bracelet. He was told there are none available but he could order it and it might be delivered by the end of summer. Are they really hard to come by? Has anyone seen these available in stores recently?

I wouldn't say it's hard to come by considering it's one of the most popular pieces by VCA. It could due to people buying them for the holidays which led to the temporarily shortage. With that said, try to call customer service everyday and check the product page on their website for inventory updates. The advantage of calling customer service is that they'll be able to look up all the boutiques to see if it's available in any of them. If so, then they can link you up with a SA from the particular boutique to make the purchase. That way you won't have to wait until summer time.

This piece goes in and out of stock on the Australian VCA website all the time.

I agree with @waterlily112 about people purchasing for the holidays. There was no stock available online for about three weeks from 19/12 and it finally appeared again on 9/01…

Apparently there may be a price increase soon so if you place an order now and prepay, at least your husband won’t be paying more for the same piece when it does finally arrive.

I hope you can get one soon!

I will be honest with you, my personal experience is that my SA will say "oh, it will take 3 months to get this or that ..." but in a couple of weeks, it will pop up in the boutique. She said it would take 3 months to get the vintage hammered gold earrings but one day, after 3 weeks of us talking about it, the earrings showed up and she called me immediately. Of course, I grabbed them. They tend to give longer timeframes maybe for the sake of not creating expectations. I would put the name down on the list or order it. I purchased mine last year without issues but I think the inventory situation was different.
