Van Cleef & Arpels: Current Worldwide Prices

[Rami00]

Yikes though thanks for the heads up.
Do you know if it'll be across the board?

My friend got a message from her SA while we were talking yesterday. No information on % or anything else yet.

Ya my SA told me the same thing yesterday - Prices going up on April 25th but not sure by how much. I am going to pull the trigger on YG VA pave earrings.

Good call! If you are going to buy it..might aswell before the price increase. What size? YG or WG?

Thanks! YG vintage. I like Lotus and Frivole in WG pave but for vintage alahambra I love the YG - I feel it adds dimension to the earrings.

My SA also said 4/25 across the board in the US.

My London SA told me about price decrease (%).

@NewBe said her European SA also mentioned about a price decrease.

I think US prices have remained the same.

Don’t know about other markets.

Actually I did notice increase in high end jewelry and some carnelian pieces in the US market.
And just now someone says US is having another increase across the board.???!! I’m so confuse. What’s going on?

Heard the same thing. But not on frivole cause that just happened.

They seem to be continuing the pattern of a price increase right before a new release.

As it stands, the US prices on Alhambra are still quite a bit 'cheaper' (I use that word loosely ) than the UK prices. Will be interesting to see if this is the same after the 25th.

How well do you think this strategy is working for VCA???

If we are to gauge by the Frivole launch, then we should expect the Alhambra line to be hit, to say the very least.

And the price adjustments up or down so often, quite frankly, are just becoming such a turnoff [emoji35] VCA cannot seriously be price adjusting across markets with every rise/fall of major world currencies every Monday morning.

I am sure they will have advisors as to where the world is headed, make one adjustment for the year and absorb what is lost (or net off what is gained).

I admit, we live in an uncertain world but we buy jewellery to make ourselves feel a little happy. And if this process is doing the opposite, then what can I say about VCA???!!!

 

[rainypop]

Is it cheaper to buy in Europe/UK then??

 

[JulesB68]

@rainypop not as far as I can see. For example, the magic alhambra 16 motif WG is £21,900 vs US $26,300, which is roughly £18,700. Not sure what the sales tax would be, but fairly sure less than £3,000! I'd hop on a flight but know I'd be the one to get stung for import duties if I tried!
The price in euros is almost identical to GBP.
