Does anyone know or have any info if VCA is having a price increase in April? I have a few things on my wishlist, so was wondering.
Gives me more time! Any details as to how much and if its a global price increase??
So, I called SG VCA to find out if I can have 2 lapis butterflies earrings and the answer is YES!
This is what I found out about pricing:
1. each lapis butterfly = S$19,100
2. 2 lapis butterflies = S$38,200
3. 2 WG diamonds butterflies = S$37,200
I was told that lapis costs more than WG diamonds because lapis is a semi-precious stone and highly coveted ... so where does that leave diamonds? Food for thought ....

It does seem odd.
I understand the price for the lapis / yg pave butterflies earclips would be S$29,100 which happens to be the price for the btf ring too. *disclaimer: unless the pricing has changed.
Generally the pave should be more expensive.
Assuming what was quoted for one lapis butterfly of S$19,100 stands, then the pave butterfly of the lapis/pave combi would be priced S$10,000 (ie S$29,100 - S$19,100).
But then you are being quoted 2 wg pave butterfly at S$37,200 so I cross-checked the USA vca website for price which is USD 25,800. This seems about right given the current exchange rate (richemont tends to use fx higher than the spot rate).
Generally wg pave would be more expensive than the yg pave that’s being used in the lapis / pave combi.
I suspect the price for one lapis is not quite accurate. At most, the pricing of lapis should be on par with pave even with the reason for lapis being a semi-precious /highly coveted stone.
Agree - so for YG + lapis to be sold more expensively than WG + diamond is not odd but simply indicative of how successful VCA's marketing had been.
Lovely that you can buy them separately! I don't dig the different colour earrings for me although admire them on others.
Buying them separately is so much more expensive though! Ouch!
Thank you for checking Stardust Andromeda!

Can anyone provide Australian prices for the WG Vintage Alhambra pave pendant, and WG Small pave frivole earrings? The website doesn't include Australian pricing. Thank you in advance
I saw a lot of people here asking for the Australian price... Yes, Australia doesn't have an online website, so sadly we can only use the "international" version with no local pricing shown. But I usually use the US website, look at the price and simply use that US price and x 1.5 and it will be a good approximate to the Australian price.
Works like a charm.
For example, VA 5 motif bracelet, $USD 3700 exc. tax.
forget the tax and use $3700 x 1.5 = $5550
so in Australia the estimate price is around $5550.
Now looking at the price sheet provided by the lovely @Summerof89, the actual price is AUD$5500.
Estimate $5550 vs actual $5500, Not too bad for an estimate.
I checked my method again using:
1) cheapest item on the MOP list: pendant, estimate $3645 vs actual $3600
2) most expensive item on the MOP list: 20 motif, estimate $22200 vs actual $21900.
I think this will help those of you who is saving money for their dream item and don't want to visit the store and expose themselves to all the temptations in the store

Smart cookie alert!!!! That actually works really well! Thanks for sharing the method.
We Australians finally got our own vca website with current prices!
Just found out today (at work), and on the very top of the country selection, there is "Australia" finally.
Still no online shopping, but at least the prices are up there for anyone who wants to check.
At the moment I think it's brand new, so some prices are still not shown yet. (in progress of data entrying?)..
Prices of necklaces and earrings are all showing, some of the bracelets, and no ring prices yet.
