I wont be surprised if its true. My SA at VCA told me that Cartier and VCA’s price increases are usually kinda close. And Cartier seems to be increasing their prices in early May hence VCA is likely to follow suit?

That definitely isn’t true that their price increases usually happen at the same time. But there is an increase May 5th for VCA in the US and other places.I wont be surprised if its true.

For those interested in price increases, there’s a thread in the section below that talks about it. The increase has been confirmed but there are varying reports of the amounts such as 5-8% and we don’t know what items will go up 5 or 8%.

I dont mean at the same time. My SA at VCA meant the price increases for both Cartier and VCA is usually quite close perhaps different by a few weeks. I will check with my SA and hopefully can get a reply cos recently the SA’s don’t seem to stay long? My Cartier and LV one both left.

I understood what you meant. I just meant that the SA was wrong. For example, since I’ve been following VCA prices since 2016, there was a price decrease in Sept. 2016. There wasn’t an increase until Sept. 2020 and then a very small increase in June 2021. I think you’d find that Cartier did not follow that timeline for price increases. VCA went 4 years with no increase after a decrease. I think sometimes SAs say things like that to encourage people to buy. I have no idea of your SA’s reasoning, but I think Cartier and VCA do not usually have price increases (or decreases) near the same time. At this particular time, almost everything has increased in price due to inflation.
My SA in Singapore confirmed there won’t be price increase for the Alhambra collection for now. Thankfully. Seems like more of the high jewellery w diamond pieces will have a px increase.
Okay, just ignore what I said the other day about percentages. Today the story has changed to just a currency valuation adjustment. I am really hoping that's the case. I could see high jewelry going up, though, since diamond content is greater. I guess we will find out next week!
The country with the stock of the piece that you want! No really, with all the stock shortages the best country will be the one with the piece(s) you want. People have reported waiting for multiple months after a hefty deposit on regular collection items that were previously well stocked. So if you find a piece you like in the country you happen to be at I would recommend to purchase it rather than waiting and trying to get it at another country just to save a little bit on GST because they might not have the piece you want.
Unless of course you are in no hurry and are fine waiting longer months, but at that point the prices would have probably increased so you’re not really saving much money in the long run. Just my two cents, HTH!
Hi everyone, I read the previous posts- do you think the Alhambra line will also increase in France? I recall there being an increase around the same time and I bought some pieces with diamonds in but totally unsure now with conflicting info.
Saw this from a Japanese personal shopper’s page, seems like the increase in Japan is happening May 12th.
I was told no price increase in USA and only increase on high jewelry which already happened recently
Maybe some countries are having adjustments to keep prices all equal around the VCA world
