I was thrilled to pick up my SO Magic Alhambra Pave pendant in YG this week! It’s a gift from my husband for our anniversary. Its so wonderful to finally have this set! I love the details like the diamonds on the bail, and even though it doesn’t flip, the back is beautiful too. I have worn it every day since I bought it - not the long way yet, but I have used both ring lengths worn doubled.
Happy Anniversary!!! This is beautiful and unique set :loveeyes:!!! All the best wishes!
I hope for modelling photos :flowers:

Does anyone know what will happen to the price of a RG GMOP bracelet if it is eventually offered as a permanent item? I’m debating placing an order for one but am also considering waiting to see if it is eventually offered as part of the normal collection. They did recently add the GMOP pendant, so I feel like it’s a possibility. If the bracelet is added, I wonder if the price will be the same. I really want to be able to pick between multiple bracelets to find the stone that makes my heart skip a beat. So, I’m nervous about ordering something sight unseen and hoping for the best.

I am wondering what they would do as there would be quite a few unhappy clients who paid the SO premium if the price were lower than the SO price (I bought a 20 and would be majorly peeved!) That said, when I ordered, I asked specifically the most iridescent stones with as many pink/purple flashes as possible...no dark stones. I was very happy with the necklace they produced for me.

That’s true! So maybe the price would be the same. That’s good to know about your necklace as I’m looking for the same kind of iridescence in my bracelet!

I wonder this too hopiko- whether they will consider how this might impact those who have ordered before and make the price in line with the so prices. VCA seems to operate in mysterious ways when it comes to this. I also got a 10 a while back which I adore and use often but mine was purchased brand new from another collector who just received it and she discounted it heavily for me so I didn’t pay hardly any premium for a new with cert piece but due to this uncertainty I haven’t special ordered any earrings as I am waiting to see what they will do. It seems if they went out of their way to create that special order catalogue- it might be a while before they make some of those items as part of a permanent line? Just thinking out loud here.....also with each year price increase, the gap will narrow as each year passes so at least you get to enjoy yours way before anyone else so to me it’s still worth it :nuts::biggrin::P:heart:

Including pic of my grey obsession hehe

I have been wondering this too. I was considering SO for 10 motif grey mop before the list came out. But the 40% premium really turned me off so I decided to just wait it out. I doubt they will offer these SO pieces as permanent pieces anytime soon since as others have said there will be unhappy customers. The single motif grey mop was not on the SO list as I recall.

That’s a good point! An SA I spoke to said that the price wouldn’t be less if the 5 motif GMOP was added as a permanent fixture. I’m not sure how reliable that info is though. I’m debating between the bracelet or a watch. Paying a premium for GMOP is a little annoying, but I’m learning to just pay more for the things my heart truly wants instead of settling.

I'd almost rather pay for the gray mop/pave bracelet regular price than pay 30% extra for just the gray mop. But I am still waiting to see if they do decide to make the gray mop 5 motif for the regular collection or as a limited offer. There are examples like the onyx in white gold where they offered pieces at a specific location for a limited time. I think if we do any special orders it comes with the risk of the piece eventually being added to the regular line, and that's part of my hesitation of doing any SOs.

Wow! You literally read my mind! I originally fell in love with the GMOP when I tried the alternating pave version. Part of me feels like ordering the regular one is settling. And on the other hand I’m itching for another big piece to add to my collection. I actually went to to look at watches today even though I just bought a watch. My mind is all over the place, so I can’t trust my decisions right now. :lol:
 
I think that it will be offered below the SO price if it is added as a permanent option. We just have to look at the previous option to SO PG pave which then came out a bit later as part of the regular line at regular prices. I hope not, because I did order GMOP at the SO premium, but I find it hard to imagine that they would introduce the single motif with no thoughts to expand the line eventually.

Agree with Nicole if grey mop is added to permanent line the price will be more inline with the other pieces and below SO premium.

I did exactly this. I got the pave and gmop 5 motifs alternating to go with my 10 gmop so and I am happy not to pay the premium. I think it’s totally worth it as the diamonds touch are nice :smile:
