I actually SO’d the WG guilloche, set of ten motif and five motif, which I am told will arrive in May! I will try to check with my SA if this info is correct, as I would be quite upset at having to pay premium for pieces that are being “mass produced” soon…. Hopefully I can refuse to take the pieces and get store credit.
@expatwife would you mind sharing which country you are in? Please feel free to pm me if easier, thanks so much!

Or... on the bright side... maybe you can get it at the regular retail price in May! That would be fabulous if that's possible.

If guilloche is really becoming part of the regular line, you are such a good client of theirs, I would bet they would allow you to have the necklace and bracelet at the retail price. They may credit you the difference in May (low odds though, but if you are VVIP they may do it discretely).

Or, if they do not yet know the retail price, they may be able to hold the necklace for you until the actual launch date. You will then be the "first" to get these new pieces before the initial batch gets sold out. Lucky you either way!

I would be very interested if you could update us on this after confirming with your SA! I would love a WG guilloche pave for my WG stack but I can’t be bothered to pay SO price. If they’re indeed releasing a whole line that would shoot up on my wishlist.

Thanks so much for helping develop these scenario! After the initial surprise I was also working through what my options are. I have a great SA so I do think a reasonable arrangement can be reached, although I suspect it may take time if they need to speak to Paris to check details, etc.
Will let you guys know how it goes!

Guess what — the SO came in and I picked it up today! I had a very good conversation with my SA, and while I do not have any info on launches, I do feel very comfortable that I will get fair treatment, come what may.
Here is a quick shot — no effects were applied, this is how the piece picks up the bright boutique lights!
I will put up quick mod shots in the SO thread for people’s future easy reference.E159251C-E2CD-46D3-9EA2-FCBB9FC7760B.jpeg

This looks gorgeous, and this is coming from a person who is not guilloche fan.
This WG along with the sharp edges of the guilloche metal looks very sleek and fresh to me... for summer! :nuts::heart:

I can't resist asking... do you have any striped tops? :biggrin::heart: If you ever decide to do a mod shot, I hope it is wearing a happy striped top!

This photo makes the WG look really white which is what I love. WG hammered tends to look grayish and muted to me due to the way the metal is shaped inside the motifs, which is the point of hammered (a more muted look). It would be great to post this photo in the SO thread for others to see this fabulous set. I saw your other photo there, but the metal in that photo looked almost a pale YG to me. Your pieces here in this photo look striking, pure shiny WG.

For me, the two words I would use to describe this WG guilloche combination is sleek and fresh!
I am so happy for you! Two more beautiful pieces to add to your extensive collection.
My guess is VCA will credit you the difference when the actual prices comes out. I have known VCA to always be fair about everything and bend over backwards to give great service. With you being such a VIP, I am certain they will make it right for you.

Congratulations again! :hugs:
