Because my kid just peed on me, I need a break so here are the conversions based on today's FX rates:

Prices are in Emarati Dirham (AED) / USD
- RG Guilloche with Pink Mother Of Pearl Watch is 56,500 / $15,383
- Blue Agate Magic Pendant is 23,600 / $6,425
- YG Guilloche Magic Pendant is 27,700 / $7,542
- YG Chalcedony Magic Pendant is 25,500 / $6,943
- GMOP Magic Pendant is 21,700 / $5,908
- YG Guilloche Vintage Ring is 12,600 / $3,430
- Blue Agate 20 Motifs is 64,500 / $17,560
- Onyx WG Diamond Earrings are 58,500 / $15,927

If we expect the blue agate 20 to be 2x the price of the 10 motif ($16,800), then I'd say these converted prices will be pretty accurate?

Thank you so much! I know it is not 100% correct but at least gives us a better idea.

Reminds me of a cheesy-man’s pinky ring, sorry, not liking it at all, but those Magic-Alhambra pendants, wow! The Guilloche-Magic Pendant, what a classic and wearable piece!

Yep I am not excited about the ring but I am about the magic pendants! I own the gmop one already which luckily was less than the new price but I feel for those who paid the high premium for their so :sad:

Completely agree with you! I love the alhambra line the most for sure although Frivole and cosmos are creeping in :shocked::P:P:nuts:

Oh, yes!!!! I also love Frivole and Cosmos! I cannot possibly justify all the pieces I'd like to have, but those are my two favorite lines aside from Alhambra! I wish I had started collecting earlier in life!

I tried to say the same thing in a little more cautious manner, so I was very happy to see someone else say what I was really thinking! :lol:

The prices of the pieces added to regular stock are definitely are not the same as SO prices from what I have seen, so whoever said that was not correct. I would be concerned if a SA told me that.

I think the problem with them making a 5 motif GMOP is the same as a wg 5 motif onyx, because both of those stones already have bracelets with the 2 pave motifs. I'd prefer having both of those bracelets without the pave for less than I'd pay for one pave/stone bracelet, but I won't do SO because the price premium is not worth it to me. I still have plenty to choose from in their regular stock!

This is me too! I am too cheap to pay for SO prices and too impatient to wait. There are others on my wish list I could get in the meantime

I’ve been told that by a few different people regarding the price and just brushed it off since I’m in no rush. Yes I agree that I don’t need the pave to be happy, and I’m sure that they would sell a lot of pieces if they expanded their offerings. For instance, there aren’t a lot of earrings or pendants in pink gold. Sometimes I feel very limited by the choices. I have pushed myself to buy certain pieces in a different metal than I wanted, and those pieces just collect dust in my jewelry box. I am becoming more discerning in my choices now which I feel is probably frustrating for some SAs as in the past I would binge shop on a whim. But I have come to not care if I am “taking too long” since it is my money that is being used and ultimately my heart that should be at peace and happy!
