just spoke to VCA Naples, they have been advised that the holiday pendant is now completely sold out and has been removed from VCA's online catalogue and they will not be supplied with another batch. that's it for this year! wow they went FAST

Wow.
It will be interesting to sed if any fall into the hands of resellers or a certain online suction.
No holiday pendants left for VCA to sell during the holidays. Crazy!! Makes me feel curious to know how quickly others have sold in years past. The difference here is that in years past, new stone ( letterwood or malachite for example) was released first...you could buy from the new collection , and then that was what was offered for the holiday pendant...the diamond made it special.
This time, the pendant was truly limited in that gray mop isn't really available. I am betting odds that they release more pieces in gray mop.
Friends....start saving!!!

Ladies I want to order my first Alhambra bracelet and have question about tax.

Will I be charged tax if I order online or eventhrough another store? We don't have Van Cleef in my state :( thanks!

I was thinking the same thing, I wonder if we'll see any on the resale market? from what I've noticed the holiday pendants tend to go for higher than retail, I saw a carnelian with diamond LE on ebay for I think it was 5200?

i'm also curious about past years sales, I know the RG white MOP a few years back didn't sell this quickly, my SA had stock up until early December when I bought a 5 motif bracelet instead of the pendant, not sure of after this but I know they were available!

good point on the grey MOP, it probably has something to do with the speed of which they have sold....fingers crossed we see more grey MOP preferably in YG or RG :graucho:


accckkk I already promised myself that 2015 is going to be a year focused on travel and other interests besides jewellery. I may have to sneak maybe one purchase in if there's something new and amazing :smile1:


on a downside, I was perusing instagram under the #vancleefarpels and #vca and counterfeiters have already started producing fakes which look hideous :nono::storm::pullhair:

I'm heading to the boutique this afternoon to pick up the last holiday pendant! They have been holding for me since Thursday (I forgot to go in yesterday - thank goodness the SA reminded me they were still holding for me).

I also want the wg frivole earrings. Maybe a 20 motif gray MOP wg necklace if they make one -- otherwise I want to treat myself to the MOP wg 20 motif for my birthday (in December). Then I will take a break for a while!!

Hi ladies,



Here are a few pictures showing my small collection and the new holiday pendant. I've included a picture of it with the 2012 holiday pendant, and with my Rolex RG with grey MOP dial for comparison. I think I'm done with clovers for now and have my sights set on the small lotus earrings for 2015 :)

Everything is beautiful!

Considering some more VCA pieces but not 100% sure the direction to go.

I already have the vintage MOP vintage alhambra earclips and 10 motif necklace.

I'm considering getting the frivole pendant and small earrings, small perlee hoops and 5 motif vintage MOP bracelet. This 'collection' would give me sets, which is appealing. I could wear the perlee hoops with the 10 motif. I have pave studs that would be great with the frivole pendant. The bracelet I could use with the 10 motif to lengthen, or wear with my earclips, etc.

However, I'm wondering if I should skip all of it and put the money towards a diamond clover perlee. But I'd want to wear it everyday. Seems like I could.

I love the idea of having lots of VCA pieces to play with but on the other hand, I do typically like to wear the same jewelry everyday so it's appealing to have one fabulous piece I'd wear all the time.

I'm sure I'll get everything on my list at some point over the years but trying to figure out the next step. Appreciate your thoughts. Do you get compliments over a piece vs another? Do you wear certain pieces everyday?

I have the clover Perlee, and I feel very thankful that I purchased it when it was about $10,000
less. If you are comfortable with the idea that eventually you will collect all the pieces that you listed, I would start with Perlee and work backwards. Price increases are inevitable!
