I don't know. I hope not. I read recently that Richemont sales were down something like 70% in the last half year, and profits were down 50% because people weren't buying like they used to. If they hike prices again they are going to turn people off.
I hope there is none, but a part of me thinks it's standard practice and it will be coming. ☹️️
Hi, it depends on the stone. Just go on the VCA website and choose the country -- prices are listed for many European countries such as France, UK, etc.
Hi, I live in Canada and went shopping yesterday for VCA. They are only 2 stores in Canada (from my understanding). One is in Toronto (ontario) and the 2nd store is in Vancouver (British Columbia). Both stores are located within the Birks jewelry store (Birks offers a 30 months interest free financing through their credit card).
I was looking at the Magic Alhambra in black onyx and it was 7000$ canadian. You also have to add taxes. There's a federal tax (same across Canada) + a provincial tax. In Ontario the total tax, called HST, would come to an additional 13%. In British Columbia, I think it's an additional 12%. There are no detax in Canada even though you're a tourist (the program was abolished 10 years ago).
Depending of your currency it might be worthwhile to purchase in Canada. For instance the Magic Alhambra is 5400 euros in France and 7000$ in Canada. It comes a tad cheaper in Canada after computing the VAT refund versus the additional taxes.
One of the thing I'm not happy with is (my personal opinion only) that VCA items in Canada and Asia are not the same quality as in France or in New York. For instance, the pendant I was looking at, 1 of the 4 petal of the clove, had a bit more spacing than the other 3. When you're paying that kind of money, it's just not ok.
I was just told by a SA in london harrods that they do yearly adjustment in April =)
Hello VCA lovers! If anyone knows the price of the Lotus Ring in euro, it would be greatly appreciated.
I was in the VCA boutique a month ago- December and my SA told me VCA adjusted their prices to reflect the low Euro and prices actually went down on the high jewelry pieces. Not sure if they were reduced on jewelry in the more popular collections.
