Are they the price for upcoming WG guilloche? I remember getting the bracelet quote around $7600 usd and earrings around $7,450 usd
Yikes! I hope that's because it also includes a 30% SO upcharge. I'm really hoping that they'll only be tacking on the additional cost for WG, which I think is about 6-7% more than YG or RG? If so, that would put it closer to ~$5600 USD than ~$7600...
Doesn VCA have their own foundry that makes white gold more expensive or are they just charging that much more to customers?
IKR? I wonder if there's an upcharge because they have so few pieces offered in WG (comparatively). Ooo, maybe with the WG guilloche collection coming out soon, they'll drop the extra surcharge for WG? Lol. One can dream!
Aren't most jewellers charging more for white gold? I think Cartier does too, although it's a Richmont brand...
Most luxury jewellers charge more due to rhodium plating although other normal jewellers do not charge more for white gold even with rhodium plating.
I don’t believe it’s because of rhodium plating. I think it’s because the luxury brands use palladium in their white gold alloy instead of nickel to make the gold “white.” Palladium is more expensive than the silver, copper, etc materials that make up yellow gold and rose gold alloys. So their white gold costs more because of the palladium.
