Hi all!
Thank you so much for contributing to this valuable thread! I have learned a great deal from all of you!
(And some of you I know from other threads )
At first, I was so confused reading here. I couldn’t figure out what all the letters and numbers meant But now I’ve got it!
So, I reference your thoughts quite often and ended up purchasing my very first VCA piece in late June. The beautiful blue agate 5 motif bracelet!
And almost exactly two months later, in late September, I was offered the 10 motif necklace! The BA in the two pieces is essentially a perfect match. I’m not sure if this is the “recent batch” @BigAkoya and her SA were referring to, but these came within the last 4 months.
I Love this blue! If you’re considering BA, I highly recommend you go for it! The color is a beautiful, deeper shade of blue and the stones are clear.
Thanks again and hope this helps!
Additional pieces and pics to follow. As you all warned, VCA is a slippery slope!

Woooow very nice , do you think this color will be limited? I asked my SA if i can order pair of earring she said not possible

I think your best opportunity to purchase BA will be the 5 motif, 10 motif and magic pendant.
I was recently offered both the magic and another 5 motif.
I passed on the magic pendant as it had some noticeable inclusion and the shade of stone in the 5 motif was not quite as saturated as my current pieces.
I don’t believe you can get BA earrings bc of the transparency of the stone.
The color of the blue is really beautiful right now! If you can find a piece you like, I would go for it!

My SA did mention few months ago that they received memo of pieces that could no longer be ordered and the lucky was on it

Thanks for info.
My SA was not able to confirm but he was unable to order the piece I wanted and the other stores would not transfer. So I had to search for it instead. I am now thinking hard if I want any of the other pieces since I don’t do resale.

The earrings can be ordered as a SO. @jenaps just posted hers in the SO thread and they are gorgeous. They would be a nice addition to your pieces. I think though some SAs are holding SOs until 2022, but that’s less than two months away.

No, it does not exist currently as a regular offer. You can try to place a special order for it if u want it. However, if u wait long enough, maybe it will be offered in the future as part of the regular line. Of course, it’s hard to predict if that will come true anytime soon.

Wow! Holding on to my butterfly ring even more tightly now! I am a huge fan of the whimsical beauty of the the butterfly line!

I actually have been trying to get back to the US by Jan/Feb to try on that same ring and buy it. This is very surprising.

Just to clarify, I heard this about the lucky line with butterfly pieces. Not the other butterfly lines.

I nearly grabbed my heart. I want to buy the rose gold pave and MOP butterfly ring and MOP earrings. I was sitting here wondering why VCA would give up a profitable line. LOL.

I’m outside of any country that has a VCA until next year but am hoping it will be easier to get the rose gold 20 motif since it seems few buy it, but I did want an extended version. That’s the issue for me.

What pieces Are you looking for

I found a pair of the two motif earrings, so that is a birthday present for next year from my mom . I will not wear them with a necklace but I like the single butterfly pendant. And separately the lucky bracelet. I will likely not try to find either in the end and just get a tiger eye bracelet instead. Likely need to decide soon in case they do discontinue.

Congrats on the earrings they are stunning. I have lucky butterfly single pendant and the lucky bracelet. I love both pieces and have been considering getting TE bracelet to layer with the lucky bracelet. As you have earrings I would do lucky bracelet if you can find it over the necklace as might be too whimsical around the head as the earrings are such a showstopper on their on.

A TE bracelet would layer beautifully. I have a malachite bracelet. TE or lucky would layer nicely. Which butterfly pendant do you have?
