New releases: Blue agate

I’m just questioning one thing- my friend placed a SO/MTO for blue agate earrings a while ago and it’s in production
Does this mean future orders for earrings will be the same price as what will be released or the usual +20% for MTO/SO orders?
I’m trying to be smart with what to get- either a pendant (which isn’t in production and probably only offered now) or the earrings (can be ordered later on - my profile allows me to place SOs already)

My b25, holiday pendant and hopefully I’m next on the list for the 3 motif WG earrings - so I am being careful with my budget 😭

I heard it’s on Sept 2nd:smile:
Oh boy, just after my birthday! Between my VCA birthday gift to myself + BA releases + HP, I feel like I’m going to get myself in trouble :facepalm:

One of my SAs knows I’ve been wanting to add BA earrings, but by the time I asked about it, they just implemented the 85k rule.
I suppose I assumed she would have informed me that the earrings will become a reality soon, especially since I just saw her when traveling to her city this year.

Does anyone know if this will be a permanent collection like when they brought back RG guilloche/carnelian or limited?
Permanent for most, but the watch at least will be very limited with 0-2 at most boutiques, SAs do not know if there will be another wave for that one, but I think I am in the minority in wanting that piece. I think most people who have a BA piece will want the earrings, and I’m sure the pendant will be very popular as well.

What is the 85k rule?

In Singapore, it's 120k Singapore dollars.
It's the minimum accumulated spend before SO can be even considered however SO has been temporarily paused due to overwhelming backlog of orders.
Once the threshold is reached, there is no limit of SO and there would be 30-35 percent premium depending on configuration.


Does anybody know what the threshold is in Australia?

Yes, exactly what @Seaquin said :smile:. In the USA when they implemented it a couple years ago, it was 85k USD. But as @Seaquin mentioned, they are not accepting SOs for now.
 
This IG source Diamondsindubai is usually first with info, though not always 100% correct (also please note that they usually post initial photos that are Photoshoped, not actually from VCA directly), but the prices seem to line up fairly well with what I was quoted in a different currency.
