not really struggling but more like getting aligned with the French idea of minimizing waste in general. take note that back in 2016, France adopted a law on fighting food waste that meant supermarkets were forbidden to destroy unsold food products and were compelled to donate it instead.

Another example. This year, McDonald's France introduced its reusable packaging:

I think this is a great idea for a fast food chain and certainly better for the environment for people who are eating in at the store.

For luxury high end jewelry experience I believe a lot of customers expect better than a singular travel pouch with purchase. I’m not an expert in packaging but I believe VCA has the funds to hire a designer to figure out eco friendly packaging that still looks and feels presentable/luxurious whether that be using more sustainable materials and also reducing their online order packaging waste which is most of where the waste comes from. Many of us here use the thick velvet cases for storage and safe keeping. If they were able to figure out a presentable alternative that would be more palatable rather than downgrade customers to just one travel pouch (no extras). It’s much better to just ask the customers which kind of packaging they prefer to take home if some don’t use the thick case at all. $31k for a singular travel pouch? I believe most of us here expect better than that from a luxury jewelry maison.

Seeing how they badly handled the distribution of their own product, the 2022 HP, where they could’ve used the help of business strategists and consultants (or even inputs from their own store managers lol), I don’t expect them to be that savvy in rethinking non-wasteful but luxe packaging. It involves innovation, and old companies tend to move slow and less innovative (just look at Hermès). Maybe someday they will fix it, but for now, people who can’t accept the current state of things may have to suffer a while.

These are my first VCA purchases. My goal ist to build a small, timeless, luxury jewelry collection that I can wear to work. So far, I've purchased the Cartier Trinity hoops and the small necklace.

Here are some pictures in different day light (early morning vs. sunny day) of the WG Guilloche. I also tried the RG GMOP necklace in the summer and really liked it....

What do you guys think? Is this a good option for a small collection?

Perfect choices! They look luxurious and elegant on you.
I actually prefer the WG Guilloche pendant over the 2020 HP. The tiny diamond kinda breaks the striking of the Guilloche design. I have both and the 5 motifs WG Guilloche bracelet.
I want to add the earrings now.

I think the diamond adds on to the sparkle and the multi dimensional aspect of the design.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I understand what you meant by the multi dimensional aspect. I agree if it’s for a larger size pendant. However for a vintage size pendant and the diamond is tiny, plus the edge of the diamond takes more space of the Guilloche. I personally prefer the Guilloche without diamond just came out. I didn’t feel this way for the other stone hps, because stone ones have a different look than Guilloche. Very interesting

More pics of the 5 motif please! Heading to Paris in a couple months and am trying to decide between WG guilloche or RG 5 motif.
