Was told today that tomorrow there is a US price DECREASE of 5-7% pretty much across the board, to balance with the Euro. Boutiques are taking deposits today for pieces to sell starting tomorrow! Includes Alhambra!
The prices are all updated for the US website!
I am going to be buying 2 pieces tomorrow from my boutique!
1) Alhambra watch YG MOP 7,300 -> 6,900
2) Perlee pearls of gold 5 row bracelet 8,300 -> 7,850
For Christmas, I am aiming to get the vintage alhambra yg pave earrings. The price also decreased significantly for this piece as well.

Did the rings decrease at all? The one I was planning to buy shows the same price as before
I was checking up on rings as well but I don't think they changed prices at all.... or went up?
I am kind of glad because I got 2 rings before the decrease but a ring that I have been eyeing, Magic WG pave ring actually went up in price?..... 11,200 -> 11,700
If I am mistaken please let me know!
Increasing and decreasing prices in same year - pretty disappointing on VCA’s part. I am pretty sure VCA jewelry is sufficiently marked up to handle all these market fluctuations.
Is someone at VCA drunk? I want to know what happens in the pricing meetings each month. How can this possibly be good strategy? Even though I didn't like the constant "price increase" game it at least motivated certain customers to buy before the inevitable increase. Now, though, I feel no hurry to buy anything on my list...if I wait, it might be even cheaper next month! Maybe VCA secretly read Marie Kondo, they no longer want me to rush into purchases, instead I can think a very long time and give less of my money and make sure each piece sparks joy!
I find that while a price decrease is always better than an increase, such continuous price fluctuations make me feel anxious as a buyer.
It would not surprise me to see an increase in a few months.
The price on the Perlee Diamond Clover Ring I ordered in July is now $600.00 LESS. Even though I am happy about my ring costing less I agree with @TGG and the others, the up and down so often makes a buyer feel anxious and uncertain about planning for future purchases.
Hi ladies...I’m wanting my first piece of VCA soon (and don’t have a boutique near me, so i was wondering how fast to plan a trip) how long do you think the price decrease will last? I know no one knows for sure....just maybe some insight on the past decreases. Thx
