Update from my SA:
The increase will be 6% on all core products, including the entire Alhambra line.
Not sure what "core products" are exactly.

Ugh. I am so bummed out about this. And now I don't know what to buy first - the most expensive piece in my realistic wish list? That would be the yg pave earrings. Or do I buy a bunch of less expensive pieces (a set of letterwood). Argh!!!!
ETA: well, now knowing about the increase I will probably NOT be getting the holiday pendant (unless for some reason it looks a whole lot more exciting IRL). Would rather spend the funds on something I love that's already on my list instead. So it's not exactly having the right effect on me.

What did you get Lisa?
My wish list is a long one...I got the 10 motif carnelian. It's going to NY to be lengthened.
That's not hyperbole. Please help me, ladies!
BBC, I will NOT write off the LE Holiday Pendant just yet if I were you. I think it will be great with your colouring.
Can you wing the LE Pendant and the YG VA Pave Earrings? At least we know the LE Pendant has a fixed price. Concentrate on the YG Pave Earrings before the price increase. Many ladies on here have them and they are very versatile.
Are you also considering the 6-motifs Magic necklace?
What is on your wishlist right now?
Yes, I still want the 6-motif [emoji177][emoji177][emoji177]
Not sure if the pave and the pendant are both doable right now (although do we have a release date for the pendant?).
At this point I do not own any pendants. I used to have the pg/mop limited and sold it. I know I should own one, but as much as I love VCA, their pendants don't really do it for me (although I am considering one or two of the magic). For that I really like Tamara Comolli's Mikado pendants. (I do like to mix it up).
I would like at least a five-motif carnelian to go with my 10. I would love the earrings too, although I have been advised that if I own the yg pave I really won't need any other yg earrings. But the carnelian look awesome on.
Finally, the letterwood pieces. If the onyx works with darkened letterwood then I wouldn't buy the earrings (I've asked for pics in the letterwood thread, would love to see onyx worn with older letterwood pieces to see if they would work together). Then it would just be a 10 and a 5.
To recap - current wishlist -
Yg pave Vintage earrings
6 motif yg (onyx, white and gray mop)
Carnelian 5 motif (maybe earrings)
Letterwood 10 and 5 motifs (maybe earrings if the LE onyx won't work)
I have no problem mixing pg and yg. Right now I have the carnelian 10 motif, LE onyx and large YG frivoles but I mix these with non-VCA.
Thank you!!!
I used to feel the same way about the single pamdants. After I purchased my first one (gray holiday pendant) I became hooked. Sometimes the subtlety of a single clover can be so nice.
Since I have the limited edition letter-wood (which is dark) along with last year's onyx holiday pendant I can see how close they are and will gladly share a photo of you would like.
Quite honestly, I think you will reach for the pave more often than the LE onyx, however OR just get a pair of the small pg perlee hoops. That's what I did and they are perfect together.
As for carnelian, yg pave vintage earrings look amazing with them as well. I purchased two 10's (vs a 10 and a 5 motif bracelet). Some people can pull this off but it will never give you the feel or look of a 20. Plus, you can wrap the 20 around your wrist for the most fabulous bracelet.
