It probably switches to Canadian dollars. That happens sometimes! There’s been no price increase in the US.Hi everyone...was there a price increase that I somehow missed?

I was able to make an appointment to shop in store today, and it was so nice to be back! Of course there was no coffee, tea, champagne, chocolates, etc. but there really is no substitute for going to the boutique to try things on.
For the last few months I had been thinking I wanted to place a SO for 5 motif Alhambra GMOP bracelet in YG. I had never tried on GMOP before, so I wanted to try on some of the GMOP jewelry in the main collection to see how it looked on me. First I was able to try on the GMOP and diamond alternating bracelet in rose gold.
Aside from the fact that I don’t care for rose gold in my skin tone, I wasn’t really wowed by the gray. I thought maybe because this particular one didn’t have the iridescence, but I looked at a few others and they appeared equally flat. Those pave diamonds sure are stunning though!
While I was there I decided to also try on the classic MOP bracelet in YG as a sort of baseline. And wouldn’t you know it I think it suited me a lot better than the gray, which seemed a bit dark for my skin tone. Needless to say I was pretty shocked since I had my heart set on the gray for so long. I would save a lot of money and time if I went with the white as well. Would love to hear what you all think please?

i think that gray color is gorgeous and looks really sophisticated on you. white mop is so ubiquitous. these are just my opinions though. what about the jade you liked? can they do that one for you?
Thanks so much! I admit I’m concerned about the prevalence of the white (though tbh I don’t see them all that often where I am, whereas every other person seems to have at least one Cartier love!), but am debating if that should be a reason to go for the gray?
are you also in ny? i think i remember a photo and asking you that before. if so, yes, its like a "casual" uniform here- 2 love bracelets and an apple watch.
I am! I am always surprised that I do not see more VCA 5 motif bracelets around here. Lord knows I’m always on the lookout!
I have to say the white looks beautiful on your skin tone; it absolutely glows on you! I also found the gray to fall a bit flat on me in the rose gold. I am still holding out hope that I will find one with the right tone and iridescence for me, but if I don't that's ok too! I do think the white is stunning on you and wouldn't hesitate to add that at some point!
i can't wait to be able to go in and exchange my items and try on new ones. technically the store closest to me is the one on 5th ave. but i have a much closer relationship with the one further downtown.I am! I am always surprised that I do not see more VCA 5 motif bracelets around here. Lord knows I’m always on the lookout!
the most prevalent VCA i see on the streets are vintage pave earrings. they are all over the upper east side.I am! I am always surprised that I do not see more VCA 5 motif bracelets around here. Lord knows I’m always on the lookout!
Hello is there anyone here who can help me authenticate his turquoise bracelet? The other 3 I have I know are but the turquoise one I got without any paperwork. Does anyone here have a VCA turquoise piece that can tell me? The chain links just look thinner and not as substantial as the other pieces. TIA
I was really interested in your post because I have both white and gray mop on my wishlist. Of course I have tried on the white mop before, but I have not tried on the gray/pg. I did try solid pg before in VA and hated it on my skin which is pretty pink. What I think is that the white mop is an awesome piece to have, and I would wear it a LOT in the spring and summer. I honestly would have to figure out clothes to wear with gray/pg! Maybe all black?? I never wear gray! lol! Honestly, I think white mop would be a classic staple like a tennis bracelet. Fortunately, where I live I almost never see a VCA piece, so I likely won't run into anyone with the same bracelet here. I will get the mop in wg, though, because it looks best on me. For you, I can tell you weren't in love with the gray/pg, so do not get it. Get the white or something else!
We are not allowed to authenticate here. The chain is more the style of your lapis one. You'll need to use a real authenticator who would know the years that certain chain styles were used. I personally wouldn't buy second hand without the original paperwork.
not sure we are allowed to analyze here but i agree the links on both the turquoise and even the lapis look thinner/less substantial.
