I wish they would just release WG and RG guilloche into the regular collection so we don’t have to SO and pay the premium

If pple hold on and don't SO it it will join the regular line faster but.. common sense is not prevalent when ladies are shopping so they are hit with the SO premium
.VCA are not stupid they just use people's weakness to profit.

i think about inflation too. 10 motif guilloche was 10,766 usd with tax. tomorrow it will be 11,305. white gold version will cost anywhere from 500-1,000 more than YG. add to that a few more potential price increases over the next few years, plus inflation. i think that extra 3,500 will work itself out if purchased now.If pple hold on and don't SO it it will join the regular line faster but.. common sense is not prevalent when ladies are shopping so they are hit with the SO premium

Idk. The price pple paid for SO grey mother of pearl MA pendant was close to 50% mark up. They did cry faul when they saw it added to the regular line. 30% is not set in stone.
I agree it’s a weird premium that needs to be weighed pro/con. Kind of like buying a brand new Hermes on the secondary market. The markup is insane. It makes retail look cheap. I wouldn’t pay 50% markup for the WG. A few thousand extra for something special that I love seems ok But I would be sooooo ticked off if my “special” piece suddenly became readily available.Idk.

Just put down deposit for this ring today to beat the price increase. I like it having the border to protect the stone ( I clumsily broke a few pieces of jewelry already)
I felt the same (ie. "ticked" off) about my MA grey MOP pendant, particularly bec it didn't meet my initial specification (ie. it must match the charm on my MA bracelet). It is beautiful on its own but I felt that VCA didn't deliver. I really didn't mind the premium if I'd got what I wanted.
Also, for these WG guilloche LE earrings, I'd be ok paying the premium and let's hope that they don't become part of the permanent collections a few months/a year later (which is what happened with my grey MOP MA pendant). I think the reason people (at least myself) SO is that we want it now, we want instant gratification. But please, do not upset us by putting the same, into the permanent collections, a few months to a year later. A few years' lapse, I think, is fair game.
I don't think VCA cares about hurting customers feelings by mass producing SO designs. They do what would bring them the most profit naturally. One can't blame them.
I absolutely love the WG Guilloche pendant - it's a pity I just got the WG Pave pendant in sweet size earlier this year.
I really wish they will release WG guilloche 6 motif bracelet in sweet size too.

They may also use SO as basis to determine designs/combo that are sought after, and depending on the amount of SOs they get, eventually have it permanently.
I have thought about that, too. I felt like so many people special ordering the gray mop actually prompted them to add it to the regular offerings.
