Van Cleef & Arpels: Current Worldwide Prices

Yes that's what I heard too. Why release prices for the new pieces and then increase price shortly there after?

I speculate the price increase was a last minute decision / pressure from shareholders to boost revenues in the last week of their Q2 and hopefully into Q3.

"Also, the most impacted businesses of Richemont are the specialist watchmakers, with a 56% drop in sales. Jewellery Maisons (mostly Cartier and Van Cleef) fared better than the other business areas (-41% sales)."


ETA: Today (sept 9) was also their Annual General Meeting so probably lots of pressure from shareholders to present a more favorable forecast for upcoming quarters.

Reactions: Comfortably Numb
The prices have been (relatively) low for a long time now. I hate that they are raising them at this particular time. But I bought my solid gold 5 motif VA bracelet back in the spring of 2016 for $4200. A few months after that they lowered prices and it was priced at $3900. So really, in one way we are fortunate they stayed lower all this time. I'm just mad at myself that I wasn't buying a little more during that time! I'll buy something before the 24th, but it will be hard to decide what!

Here is what she quoted previously: the rose gold grey MOP is $5650, the chalcedony (light blue) is $6500, and the blue agate is $6,150. Our central team does not know how many pieces we will be allocated so let me know if you would like to preorder any of these before the launch 10/1.
Now her text: we are having a price increase across all categories of 5%. Since those pieces are not launching before the price increase, we can only charge the new price for them.
Thank you so much for the information! When she said "rose gold grey MOP," is this a new piece VCA will be offering? On the website, I only see a pendant that fits this description or a bracelet and necklace but these have alternating RG grey MOP and diamond RG MOP motifs and none of these items have a value close to 5650.

They are new single Magic pendants with chains that someone already posted pictures in this forum
