Darn. I hope stock gets better now that the holidays are over. We are visiting Rome in April and I’m hopeful they will have one so I can try it on. Im a good 5 hours away from a US boutique. Thanks for the info!

I drove 2 hours to my closest store last March for an appointment knowing the bracelet was likely not there. The SA was incredibly unhelpful. Told me it was a year wait and wouldn’t take my order even tho I was ready. I hope you do better!!
I think we will both get our bracelets this year.
this no stock situation has to end eventually!on its own.. i want to get the 10 motif now.. i realize i should have got it before.. xD
Now after looking at the Guilloche for a year, I still prefer the classic stones and the diamonds and I will probably get another pearl/paved or the classic MOP. I totally agree the Alhambra motifs are timeless and iconic.
I prefer stone over solid metal also. Stones give such variation options which I love
Hi! I am thinking about adding it to my collection too. it is one of the most popular pieces if that helps. They’re always sold out. I’m sure you’ll fine a buyer in no time.Hello Ladies,
I purchased the gold Guilloche 5 motif bracelet last year and now I am not sure if I still love it as much.
I loved it at first because of its sparkle and being different from the classic motifs, however recently I start to feel that it is a bit 'outdated'. It is still in pristine sparkling condition though.
Do you feel that this is going to be part of the classic collection? I am thinking of selling it, I am debating whether I should sell it now or wait another year or so till another price increase takes place.
Would love to hear your thoughts

I decided to keep mine for now, the current resell value is quite low comparing to what I paid for.
Hello! I purchased a while ago the guilloche pendant and bracelet I was lucky to find them online. But I just don't wear them. I wear my jewelry every day and don't change out and I am thoughtful of scratches. I do wear a hefty cartier stack and don't bother about scratches since they could polish. Though I don't use that service it gives me freedom to wear because I cam. The guilloche cannot be rescued and that makes me not wear it. Does anyone wear theirs every day and has pictures? Any input what can be done when scratched up? I do have 0 problems wearing the stone bracelets I wear carnelian and mop every day. I know mop is sensitive but you can replace stones so I don't worry at all. What to do? Pic is my every day vca stack. How do I start wearing guilloche?
Finally figured out a pairing for my VCA. I purchased it in Paris as a birthday gift. I love the bracelet but started rethinking it for a few reasons.
CONS:
1) It was so subtle I think it was getting lost and not adding much to my outfits.
2) I had it for 5 months and received only 1 compliments only bc someone knew the brand, rather than someone admire the design and how it reflects light.
3) I could not decide whether I want to pair it and resize to prevent it from flopping less. So I tightened the clasp to leave one clover dangle. Since then I like the fit more and how it pairs.
4) It gets dirty so it’s best you clean it to see max sparkle.
PROS:
1) design conceals scratches
2) catches light
3) value for money
4) holds resell value, strong brand
5) great Parisian souvenir, since I was in Paris.

It’s lovely! I’d definitely reconsider removing links, rather than having a clover dangle, so you can see more motifs. I know some like to keep it long, but I think it would draw more attention.
