I stopped in the NY flagship boutique the other day to check out wedding bands, and asked the SA if he'd heard anything about rock crystal coming back (my usual SA wasn't in). He said that he had also heard the recent rumors but that nothing had been heard from the powers that be.

Hello jewelery friends! I am a total newbie when it comes to VCA. I am considering the Vintage Alhambra bracelet in Carnelian but i would love it in pink gold. I only see yellow gold on the website. In the Sweet i do see the rose gold. Does it mean i can´t find rose gold 5 motifs bracelets in stores? thanks so much for your help

Unfortunately yes. VCA doesn't make carnelian VA bracelet with pink gold so you will not be able to find this. This would have to be done through special order request that requires approval from the store and headquarter. If approved, there will be a 30% markup on the price for special order.

Perhaps if you are open to the magic Alhambra pendant, Hong Kong has the carnelian magic pendant with pink gold that is geographically limited to Hong Kong only that you can obtain. Some members have posted this necklace here at this forum and I believe you can see it on the VCA website too if you change the country to HK. Please do a search if you are interested.

Is it possible for someone in the US to buy the special small Magic pendants from other countries without physically going to the boutiques? Or can a US SA get them? I am guessing the answer is no, since I don't see a lot of people with these items!

Unfortunately it can only be purchased in HK. Someone needs to be there to get it. That is why it is geographically limited. Same goes to the Japan Ginza MOP and France Sevre blue magic pendants.

I was going to ask the same question in the forum.
BTW, to those who own both magic and Ginza size pendant- which do you prefer and is there any difference apart from the size?

Thanks so much LadyCupid! It is sad because the carnelian with the rose gold look stunning <3

They’ve had them listed on eBay FOREVER. They’re gorgeous, but for that price you can get something pretty outrageous directly from a boutique.

Hi guys. I tried on the frivole pave earrings in the small size. I felt that they sat weird on my ears. Protruding too much on one side. I have normal lobes, they aren’t small. Anyone else have this problem? I just love the new collection that is coming out :(((

I understand. I also don’t like the way the pave frivole sit on my ears. My lobes stick out a bit on the bottom.
