Saving the VAT in Europe/UK is not so grand any more. For the little savings, I would prefer to be loyal to my SA and buy in the US.

I don't know about Asia now though.

There are weak luxury sales even in the Middle East because of the low Oil prices.

Bottom line is - PEOPLE AREN'T BUYING LIKE THEY USED TO.

Precisely! I think sales are definitely slowing down, but I'm getting turned off by the constant price increases that went up by 10% in my country! So much so that I don't even want to buy anymore. Seems counterproductive to me. I wonder if they will drop prices in overseas markets like they have in the US?

Anyway the pricing for the semi precious stones make no sense to me at all. They are more expensive than the pure gold pieces, and surely gold is worth a lot more than the semi precious. Nuts.

Has anyone noticed that the online prices are higher than in the stores? I.e. The 10 motif YG Alhambra necklace is like $7800 in store but $10k online. Also, the website prices change back and forth during the day. In a couple days, I have seen both prices posted for the same necklace. This also applies to the other Alhambra pieces and the butterfly diamond necklace which fluctuates between $14k and $17k.

Hi! Could someone enlighten me about prices in Canada?
On VCA Canadian website the price says "vat included". Is it the same as sales tax? Or it is like an additional tax? *very thoughtful face should be inserted here*

Unfortunately, there are no VCA stores that offer discounts :sad: And there are no boutiques at Heathrow nor Gatwick.

And I can confirm that on September 15th, there will be a price increase coming into effect in the UK.

OMG! Have just checked a few of the price increases on the UK site; geez! The diamond vintage alhambra pendant and earrings have gone up by £3,850 (26%) since the beginning of May (so 2 increases) and the sweet alhambra turquoise earrings & pendant I purchased in June have gone up by £250 and £200 respectively, an 11.25% increase.
Trying to work out if there's been an increase on the French site too; does anyone know?

The VA Pave pendant that I purchased earlier this month went up by 10.5% :sad: (Paid £5,700)

Didn't check the other European websites - sorry.

Does anyone know if VCA online deliver to Australia? Or if there is a store in Australia?

In the VCA discussion thread I believe someone said a store in melbourne is opening soon. But as with all luxury goods I find that Aussie prices are way overpriced. If you ever make a trip to Southeast Asia, I could recommend you my SA. Plus you will get tax refund.

Thank you. I contacted VCA directly & they advised a store is opening in Melbourne at the end of October. They do not ship to Australia. It's so frustrating!
I'm going to Europe next April, so will make my purchase then. I wanted a bracelet for Xmas, but I don't think I'll have time to fly to Melbourne before Xmas. Probably better to wait, but I'm very impatient.

Hi, would you prefer to purchase VCA jewelry from Europe or Asia? Is there other differences than price? Is it manufactured locally? My hubby is asking me and i have no idea.....

All pieces are manufactured in France I believe. I don't think they ever manufacture in Asia.

It depends on where you are located. I'm in Asia, so even if there is a slight price difference, I will still stay loyal to my SA and buy from Asia. I feel like if I buy in Europe, I will just be one of their transient customers that never really build a relationship. I've got awesome service from my SA and things she has done for me, so I will continue buying from her. Hope that helps!

Thank you Elizabeth! I've guessed the same that VCA and other branded jewelry, probably is imported. I live in Scandinavia, Northern part of Europe, the closest VCA boutique is about 5 hours by plane :-))). Earlier i was asking whether somebody knows the price for a bracelet in Bangkok VCA boutique, just to compare. We will be there on family vacation and i hoped to get some quality time for myself :-))).
