Hello! Does anyone have any insight about vintage Alhambra earrings availability in US VCA boutiques? I am specially interested in the Vintage Alhambra earrings in white gold with diamonds. The VCA rep who assisted me with my previous purchases told me that these earrings have been sold out since Dec 2020. And they are expecting to receive some in the next 2-8 weeks. I really would like to get them by Mother’s Day :sad: Also if you own a pair, can you please post a pic here? Haven’t seen them in person yet. Thx!View attachment 5072183
I put a 30% deposit on Vintage Alhambra earrings in white gold with diamonds; it’s been 10 days, no update on the delivery date yet. I was told that I would get a full refund on the deposit if I change my mind. Will keep you posted about delivery timeline.. Looks like these earrings are out out stock in VCA FR website, too :sad:

Yes, please do keep us posted. People have been saying you get items faster if you prepay so I would be curious to know when you receive them. Txs!

Were you promised an ETA? Honestly, 10 days is a very short period of time given the inventory issues VCA is having right now.

I was told by the VCA boutique that they are expecting new inventory in 2-5 weeks before I put my deposit (this was one week before Mother’s Day)... Planning to check w/ my SA by the end of the week if she has any updates.. these earrings were supposed to be my birthday present:smile:

[Status Update] My VCA SA just contacted me that I need to pay 100% remittance/ deposit to secure the price of these Vintage Alhambra diamond earrings before the VCA USA price increase on June 1st. I am a little bit annoyed to be honest just because I was told that price was locked since I put 30% deposit originally. SA also confirmed no change in price for my earrings when she texted me about upcoming price increase about a week ago. Btw, for everyone’s awareness, there will be a 2.6-4.2% price increase in VCA USA effective June 1st.

Thanks for update! I agree with you that it's very annoying but think that's what all the SAs are asking for now. I was asked to put down 100% too on some Magic earrings even though I was given no real ETA.

Yikes.... Checked with my SA on 3 pieces that I have placed deposits on 1 May.

1. Sweet MOP earrings - estimate of 2 months more
2. Signature WG perlee bracelet - longer than the MOP earrings
3. Diamond Estelle wedding band - 6-8 months more
I paid fully for perlee Turquoise btf ring and one bracelet last September and I still didn't get mine yet lol
