Van Cleef - VCA price increase thread *please include location*

And hammered 20M Alhambra over 2K.. pretty insane. Not all pieces are seeing such huge price hikes though .. but these are the 2 pieces that were on my wishlist. Malachite 20M Alhambra will also see a price increase of 2300 or so.

So glad I got my RG hammered 20 motif a couple months ago. I was waiting to see what the new creations are but my SA said they had one in stock so I pulled the trigger since who knows how long I would have to wait.

Just deposit 30% for my next and first HJ purchase 🤩. They confirmed this blocks the price 😮‍💨 (Europe / because when I read + 47% I almost fall from my bed)

Congratulations! Cannot wait to see what this new spectacular piece will be!

My Dubai SA said that the price would only be blocked if I made a B2B order (which also requires 100% rather than 30% deposit), which puts the kibosh on me putting a deposit on the Sweet Pave Alhambra ring for now (as I didn't want to put the whole amount down now). I shall just have to stomach the PI when it happens I guess, as I cannot in all good conscience buy the ring now.

Oh wow only catching up on these now, I was in 3 VCA boutiques in Tokyo yesterday and nobody mentioned a PI to me but I didn't ask either and they certainly weren't trying to push a sale so didn't proactively provide the info

Does anyone know if it applies in Japan too? Bought one item and decided to be controlled for the rest (not that they have stock for most of my wishlist items anyway..).

Looking forward to seeing what you got in Japan!

Two SAs at Ginza Six have said they don't have any information on a PI. Sounds like it's not happening in Japan or else they just don't know. Anyway we'll know tomorrow 😭

I realize this is a small piece, but does anyone know what the Sweet Alahambra Earstuds in Onyx will go up to in the US? And also the price of the Vintage Pendant in Onyx? Might have to jump on it today. Thanks, everyone!

The Jan 2025 PI in Japan and Korea was just to equalise prices due to their weakening FX. I believe they will follow soon too because JP current prices are almost equal to our current (Pre-Increase) prices which will change tomorrow, 25-Apr.

JP now adopts a silent price increase (unlike last time by giving advanced notice of their JP website), so let's see tomorrow. Even if they don't follow the same timeline, I believe they will do soon enough. They're always more diligent to increase (or reduce) prices as far as I am aware

Two SAs at Ginza Six have said they don't have any information on a PI. Sounds like it's not happening in Japan or else they just don't know. Anyway we'll know tomorrow 😭

Ok, just heard from the Land of the Rising Sun that they indeed will have a price increase tomorrow too, effective Friday, 25-April.

Just waiting for the new prices to be updated in the website in a couple of minutes. For now both Australia and New Zealand sites have been updated.

Now I must look through the wish list thread again big congratulations @spaul !!!
Yes you are correct would not wear ring at work - same dilemma as you for mirror / pave. I could use more time and yeah $500 PI not that big a deal for less stress but I fear the pave BTF PI will be 4 figures ... but if so I will put it to my 2026 WL anyway since I just made 2025 purchase this week. You ladies are very disciplined - as soon as I hear murmurs of PI I want to purchase everything on my multiyear wishlist...which I guess is the VCA strategy!

I am right there with you @sleepydoc.
I just bought the onyx 5 motif online because I want it anyway and can’t stomach paying more in just a few months. It makes it feel like it’s on sale lol.

 

[Serpentine2806]

I had a quick catch-up with the SM earlier. The BA 5 motif is going up by £100, but there’s no price increase for the earrings - both are on my wish list for this year. I’ve also been toying with the idea of getting the lion clip in tiger’s eye. It was there and then gone, but apparently, there’s no price increase on it. I’ll see what things look like tomorrow morning.🤔

Malachite's increase is insane this time around.

Both items I bought on Wednesday and Thursday - onyx 5 motif and BA VA earrings (jumping the gun on a reveal haha. I went back and bought another item because the SA sourced the last pair in Japan for me 🙈 and pending PI soooo...) - are the same price on the Japan website. Either no PI for these items or it was already effective on Wednesday 23rd 🤔 I wasn't tracking the prices so I'm not sure. @xyz018 which items are you seeing an increase on in Japan?

Both items have gone up in price in Singapore! Girl math and VCA math says I saved money
