Didn't want to start a new thread and I was having difficulty finding this in the search forum. Would someone kindly let me know if I had missed the boat on vintage alhambra white gold onyx earrings? I thought I read somewhere that it was a NYC limited edition? If so when was this and wondering if I could still purchase a pair. Thanks in advance.

If I were you, I would contact the NY store directly and ask.

When I was in the boutique a few weeks ago I asked my SA about matching earring options for the NYC wg/onyx magic necklace. They do not have matching wg/onyx earrings. I think the NYC editions are just the magic single motif and the magic long necklace. To match you would have to get the cosmos earrings or just any of the wg earrings like frivole.

They have this necklace in one of the displays at the interior entrance from Bergdorf to VCA. I die every time I walk past. And there's always a doorman there holding the door for me so I feel silly making him wait while I stare at it! But, yeah, it's something like $65,000.

My SA likes to have fun with me and have me try on pieces. Here's another necklace I'm pretty sure I will never own:

Hello, are you sure that the price of this piece is only $65k? All the zip necklaces that I've seen are priced between $200-600k range. If this piece indeed only costs 65k, that's a FANTASTIC price!

No, I'm not.

The piece I am referring to is the long magic NY edition necklace wg with pave diamonds - still a great deal at $65,000 to be sure, as I think I might be off by, say....$20k or so [emoji51]

I would not venture to guess the cost of the zip necklace. I didn't ask! If I knew I probably wouldn't have let them put it on me. [emoji38]

Just wondering what your thoughts are about purchasing a pre-owned piece that doesn't come with a certificate or box? The seller guarantees that the item is authentic. Not sure if it's better to just pay $500 more and get a new one. All thoughts appreciated. Thank you.

I would pay the extra $500 and be guaranteed of its authenticity, and get an authenticity certificate.
