I see the price increase has made it's way to the US website. Some higher than expected, some lower... Congratulations to those who managed to obtain their pieces prior thereto 👏👏👏

Yep, depending on design, Ludo bracelet went up by $10k. It was $70.5k before. Not 47% increase for HJ, but still significant.

for Canada, roughly 5% increase across the products. I’ve saved $3k for items i got in the past month

Seems more like a 10 - 12% increase for HJ in the U.S. Still significant considering the $ difference.

This one was $224k yesterday. $26k increase

Quite a range of price increases in the US; surprised they split onyx/MoP, and that malachite shot past chalcedony and carnelian/guilloche:

-Tiger's Eye: $5,050/$5,550 (+9.9%)
-Malachite: $5,300/ $6,000 (+13.2%)
-Carnelian/RG guilloche: $5,500/$5,900 (+7.3%)
-Chalcedony: $5,550/ $5,850 (+5.4%)
-YG guilloche: $6,150/$6,850 (+11.4%)

But I nearly fell over when I saw the new price for sweet Alhambra hammered earring - they went up 15% !!!

Price increases seem vary by country - I almost fell off my chair when looking at Australia and NZ prices last night whilst both Japan and Singapore seem more modest in terms of %

One that had me heartbroken is the price increase for the Sapphires Folie De Pres - My God, they're INSANE!!! The Mauve Pink earrings alone increased by a whooping ~26.5% (~3M JPY or ~35K SGD) and I am too scared to compare the prices for the matching floating necklace and floating braceletIt looks consistent with what I've been told that VCA probably have issue in sourcing the beautiful/matching colored Sapphires and hence, it's on no order list.

Well, every cloud has its silver lining given my other wishlists are not impacted terribly this time around. Now that I am on a Ban Island for possibly a loooong time, I am also beyond grateful of those I’ve acquired so far so, let’s see 😄 When the time’s right, I may do some reveal as well.

I didn’t pay too much attention to hammered or guilloche ones. The increase is probably due to the spike in gold price. Other pieces dont use much gold as hammered or guilloche.

I didn’t pay too much attention to hammered or guilloche ones. I kinda wanted the 5 motif hammered bracelet but it isn’t orderable, so i gave it up completely

Agree about gold prices - Hammered everything appears to have highest increase ~ 14.3 % (Canada)

 

[Oceansparkle]

The stones havent gone up much. The 20 motif hammered gold has gone up by 3500k. Insane.

Exactly, the gold price insanely high only last couple days down little bit but won’t take too long before going back up again…..

Did the clover bracelet go up 3k in the US?!

I’m seeing $900 for the perlee clover bracelet. From $28.8k to $29.7k in YG/RG

Sweet clover bracelet increased by $600.

I don’t believe it but I have pictures of the website from 2 days ago. Some pieces in Switzerland went DOWN (tiny tiny bit down but that is still a nice move 🙆🏻‍♀️). Typically the panda 🐼 5 motif by 100 CHF (120 US$ ). Perlee are exactly same prices (included the Perlee bangle which is an expensive piece) and gold pieces like guilloché and hammered went a bit up (YGG 10 motif +500 CHF so 4.5% more)

 

[Chachalouve]

I confirm for Switzerland!
The perlee bangle is down a hundreed!
I was trying to sell mine.. Not sure this will help 😝
