The name of the thread cracks me up...." beat" the price increase. On 20 000 the mark up is only 1000.
I'm glad though because they are clearing old stocks in the boutiques this way. Not a bad strategy.
:lol: :biggrin: :biggrin:
Call me frugal or money smart but if I am going to buy something soon anyways I would rather save 1000. I would not rush to buy something I am unsure of but something I am sure why not save some money in the process. I love this thread and title!
 
I finally ordered my holy grail >>> the diamond clover perlee YG bracelet. Got this to match the earrings and ring that I already own. I have been wanting this for years and just had my baby so this was a perfect combined push present, birthday present and to beat the price increase as well! So excited!! Anyone who has this piece how do you like it?
Congrats on your baby and birthday. The clover perlee was my push present for my 3rd! Love the piece and wear it daily given the meaning.
 
I put deposit down for 4 pieces that I was going to get this year, but my totally unexpected big Hermes purchases this month derailed my plan. Luckily my SA is willing to take a deposit so I can lock in the current price and I have the next few months to finalize my purchase. Grey MOP & Pave diamond bracelet, Cosmo BTF ring, Frivole BTF ring, and Pont des Amoureux watch, and maybe one more bracelet if my SA can locate it for me tomorrow.
Which Cosmo ring are you getting?? Lovely pieces!
 
Even though I don’t wear wg near my face, I do like it for rings and bracelets.

Omg this!!! I have always felt I’m the only person who overthinks this and SAs always tell me I’m crazy when I say this... always feel like I onl WG necklaces suit me, but don’t mind YG on my wrist/hands.

I’m so happy I’m not alone in this haha. Sorry this is so random and congrats on your purchases :))

For me spending thousands to save a couple of hundred is money stupid not money smart. But that's female logic. Guilty of playing that card myself :)

Exactly. I saved about $1100 on my two pieces. I was going to buy them anyway. So why not get them before the price increase???
 
I put down the deposit for a pair of TQ Perlee earrings, to match my TQ Perlee pendant. Was going to confirm MA pave earrings in WG but hesitated bc I have another HUGE(R) non-bling purchase coming up. I am now glad I hesitated bc I'm going to SO WG guilloche LE earrings to go with the HP, which my SA has promised to put aside for me. Not sure now if I still want MA pave earrings.

I think the SO WG guilloche earrings might be able to fill the void of MA pave earrings. If not, you can always get it later. Did you hear from your SA that it's approved? I want to SO a WG guilloche bracelet

No, no void - at all.

I love matching sets and have always wanted guilloche but solid YG, especially VCA solid YG, looks awful against my skin. I've asked my SA re the SO. Not sure if she's even written to Head Office, haha. I promise I will update you gals once I hear back.

I'd love a WG guilloche pave bracelet, and am waiting patiently (maybe famous last words) for this to be introduced into their permanent offerings.

No regret about the MA pave earrings. I can always get them later, as you said.

thank you! It would have been so much easier for me if wg didn’t look so blah near my face...lots of wg pave options. For the same reason wmop isn’t my friend either. I’m fortunate that I have a few pieces that either have both pg and wg together or a similar look (SS Watch with PMOP face) so it’s easier to bring in a mix of metals.

I am exactly the same but the opposite! I love yg and can wear it in bracelets and long pendants over clothes, but next to my face I need white metals. That's one reason I got the yg pave VA earrings instead of solid yg VA or Magic since the white diamonds break up the gold a bit. I am hoping to eventually be able to try on the pg gmop Magic pendant and bracelet to see if I can wear them. And as I told you, I really love the pg Perlee clover bracelet which would be so pretty with those! My wishlist may need to be trimmed down, though!
