Wow I’ve just realised that vintage alhambra bracelets’ prices have doubled after 10 years!!

That's unreal. It's not like my salary has done the same thing.

If all luxury brands continue to have price hikes (to retain an air of exclusivity and suck people into urgent purchases to beat the rise), will future generations pay a million dollars for something that's thousands now? Where/when will they draw the line?

Most of the increase was apparently in the first few years of the 10 years, though. VCA actually reduced prices in 2016 and they have remained stable until the price increase in September 2020 which are just under the 2016 prices. I certainly would love it if they were lower, however!

Hi all - does anyone know if the same necklace can be different prices? For example, on the frivole details on the site (link below), it says "Please note that each Van Cleef & Arpels creation is handmade. As a result, carat weight and stone quantities may differ slightly from one creation to the next. Final price may vary slightly depending on the materials and size."

I recently bought this necklace from Neiman Marcus for $4250, even though I know there has been a price increase and it now retails for $4450 online (but I wasn't looking at this necklace before so have no idea if the previous price was $4250), so now I just don't know if I bought one at a previous price or if I bought one of lower quality :huh:
