I have purchased some VAC jewelry through their website and have seen a pattern. In my opinion it is a conscious strategy to say that you have to stand in line and wait for a piece of jewelry to become available. It then becomes more attractive and people become even more eager to own such an attractive piece of jewelry that so many want. It always works.
I also thing that VCA has become so mainstream within the last 3 years, opened up more stores, that it may be hard for them to keep up as well..
Thanks for the tips. I just started looking into VCA pieces. Will start saving to get my treasures.
Thank you! Yayy, I'm so excited for you :) XOXO
Thank you so much for your great advice! I did exactly as you said: called a store on the east coast directly and they happen to have a guilloché bracelet in stock that came in today! They will ship it to me on the west coast. My first VCA piece. I’m so excited! ❤️
Thank you! I am so excited for you!!! It's very hard to get, so it's a huge deal to score one (and everyone will be jealous haha)
@@SibyllaMirage Thank you! 💕
I stumbled upon your channel thanks to my YT home page recommendations. You are savage with some of your opinions, but I respect it! I have yet to buy a VCA piece, but most likely will in the next few years. I concur with your last tip about organizing one’s wishlist to prioritize the most expensive item first, because I have done the same with Chanel. I actually bought a CF as my third or fourth purse, because it was not until shortly before then that I realized I wanted to add it to my collection, versus buying whatever seasonal purse struck my fancy. Since I bought my first CF about a year ago, the price has gone up $2k, so I consider it money well-saved. I hope jewelry brands won’t follow Chanel’s crazy price increase trends 👀 Keep the tips and reviews coming!
Awww, thank you very much! I was told that the price increase for vca is coming in June, but no date yet. This time around, it should be 8%, but I hope it's less. They are kind of following that route with their price increases. I agree with you! I'm glad I got my Chanel classic flap 6 years ago, it's almost twice as expensive now..
Thanks for the tips! I've been trying to purchase a 5 motif rose gold/carnelian alternating bracelet for my mom's birthday but told it's sold out everywhere. I'll keep trying everyday 🥲
I think that one was a limited edition.. Check if they have it online, if not, maybe it's been discontinued XOXO
Do a jewelry collection video ! Sounds amazing 11 pieces vca and other brands as well
ok, will do :) XOXO
Works in Japan too! Was told at the boutique that the vintage pendant in hammered YG has a waiting list of 6 months but it’s now available in their online store! Thank you for the tips! 💕 (still saving up so I’ll have to let go this time but it’s good to know I don’t need to preorder or get FOMO, I can get it whenever the time is right next time ☺️)
That's right! Glad you found my tips helpful
Very informative video. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Thank you :) XOXO
First time I brought VCA for my self ,it get a little bit strange. I know exactly what I want. So I ask for pink undertones MOP in 20 motifs and bracelet in vintage and silver undertones in another set . (I thought ten is too short for men.) SA didn’t want me to pay,but need me to have a lot of patience . It take about four months and he tell me not to tell anyone you can specifically choose undertones. (I ask at la biennale Paris)
WOW! I had no idea, thank you for sharing. I think 20 motif is better for men also :) xoxoxo
Thanks for the tips!
You're welcome :) Thank you! XOXO
Loved the video! Your collection is so, so pretty! Also, I know this has nothing to do with jewelry, but what brand/shade of lipstick are you wearing in this video?? It's such a pretty color!
Aww thank you very much! Its Kat Von D Everlasting lip liner in Bow N Arrow all over my lips. I exfoliate, use a tiny bit of chapstick before applying it, because it can be drying if I don't.
Great tips!
Thank you!!!
Love your VCA pieces 😍
Thank you very much!
@@SibyllaMirage you’re welcome
Thx. Very helpful
You're welcome XOXOXO
Nice video!Have you thought about making a video of your jewelry collection?
Thank you! Will do, right after my next video
So true I have the same problem of the same product as you and I want for three months
I believe in you!! I hope you get it sooooon :) xoxo
😊 Thank u so much
Can you do a video of all the size of the vintage Alhambra? I saw multiple size but want to know all the sizes diameter of the pendent
Ok, I will compare sizes for you in one of my videos :) xoxoxo
This may work in the States, but this DOES NOT work in HONG KONG I followed this exactly but due to HK being small all stores are constantly in liaison I wanted a hammered rose gold 6 motif sweet Alhambra bracelet and the lead time generally is 2-3 months with a down payment and every store are strict with only offering the item to those who have already prepaid and all prepaid clients have their orders registered on their account. I was able to contact a store when they received inventory and they refused to sell me the bracelet just cuz others have prepaid already (you can’t “jump the line” cuz you’re faster) VCA plays by the rules in HK. I was also contacting stores that i never shopped at as well and was rejected as such even tho the SAs were very understanding of my situation.
Note that I rang every store in HK daily for 2 weeks straight prior to me writing this post which means I might as well have preordered. Much like her I shop with more than one store/SA this does not apply in HK.
Thank you for sharing! This is very helpful ❤️
Love this video! New subbie here. Thanks for all the great info!!! I just bought a piece today, now I am nervous listening to your videos but fingers crossed everything (god forbid) will be alright😉🙈🙏🏻. By the way, I almost made one of the mistakes you mentioned here.
Thanks!!!
Do stones in the vintage sized settings rattle? My vintage Alhambra necklace seems to rattle. The stone actually visibly moves within the gold bead casing. Just wondering if it is to be expected. Thanks!

Question about the RG - have you noticed any color change? I have a few pieces from VCA: RG, Diamonds and YG and I noticed my RG piece color looking darker and off even though I barely wear it and I’m super careful about not getting perfumes or lotions on it. Curious if that happened to you. It didn’t happen with my YG though!
It dies the same thing. Just wash it in hot water with soap, it will go back to it's original color and shine. I use dishwashing soap. I also use perfume on it all the time.
can you please show us your whole collection!!!
I will, since it's most requested. Thank you! xoxoxo
What issues did you have with your previous two MOP earrings?
Hi! I will post that video after the one from today that is being uploaded now. In a nutshell, they were flawed. They had issues with their mechanism, and posts were coming off as well. I will talk in detail about what to watch out for when buying them and how to test them out in a video! XOXOXO
I paid full for 2 items 2 months ago but still no stock yet😪 my SA did not ask for deposit but I insisted to pay for full, hoping that once those items available they will be mine. It’s true vca items are most sought after nowadays.
I admire your patience and I hope you get them very soon!!! I really wanna know what you got, if it's not a secret ;) xoxo
@Moe may I ask if this was here in the US? And if you want to share what pieces are you waiting for? Maybe you can request cancellation and look for them with her tips😉. I hope you get your pieces soon!
its hard to get piece , i ordered hammered 10 motifs yellow gold necklace from the boutique ..i’ve been waiting for 14 months and haven’t received it yet
Wow! You know, I think that's the longest I have ever heard someone wait for a vca piece. I really hope you get it ASAP!!! XOXO
@@SibyllaMirage thank you 💖 enjoy your pieces
OMG did you already pay in full?
@dho7a_89 did you receive your piece already ? I hope you did,let us know. Maybe try canceling your order and try to find it with her tips?
10 motifs pink gold beautiful~💗like you~😍💗
Thank you :) xoxoxo
Hi! Do you have a video modeling the sweet rose gold Alhambra necklace? Can it be doubled? Thank you!
What do you mean doubled? The chain is short, can't be doubled.. worn with other necklaces - yes! xoxoxo
Can you zoom into them we can hardly see the jewels
Yes, I'm getting better at filming! Thanks :)
Thank you for your advice unfortunately I already put full deposit prior to seeing your video am I able to get my money back? 😩
I'm not sure, please contact your sa, and don't waste your time, it's not worth it, just get another thing from your wishlist and apply your deposit towards it if you want something else also, of course.
@@SibyllaMirage I wanted to update you because I took your advice and asked for the refund/credit and the next day the piece magically arrived from Paris lol. Moving forward no deposits for me. You’re the best thanks for the tips💖
@@Kennedy4295 That's great news!!! Good for you! Once they get your money, they still try to make sales, and it's very unfair... Thanks for the update
Thank you for the tip, but honestly this video it was really wordy and hard to follow.
I'm sorry, I get nervous and ramble. I will get better :) xoxo
@@SibyllaMirage thank you for not taking it negatively it was not meant to be, it was just an observation I lecture a lot and so i am tuned into sentence construction and flow. The inner prof came out when I typed that. But thanks for doing the video the message was important.
@@Skye08394 haha thank you.
Why is the video so blurry
Oh no! I'm not sure, it's 4K so it's the best quality there is. Maybe the internet connection wasn't strong, try to click the setting on the video (when you pause it you will see it on the bottom right on the actual video) and turn the resolution up manually. I hope it works! XOXOXO
What happened to your mop earrings?
Hey! I will film a video about them. Are you planning to get a pair of vca earrings soon? in that case I will just tell you here so you know what to look out for :) xoxo
@@SibyllaMirage I actually just bought a pair about a month ago
@@hpluxe6905 woohoo!!! congratulations! The posts on mine had issues. They were unscrewing in a couple of hours every time I wore them. VCA tried to help, but they were simply flawed. I believe you would notice by now if you use them regularly. I exchanged them to have an even bigger issue with posts. I think it was just a bad batch, like a new jeweler or something. Because I don't have those issues with my other vintage alhambra earrings. I will talk all the details on how to test them and what to do in my upcoming video! XOXOXO
@@SibyllaMirage oh wow!! Yea I’ve def not noticed that and I’ve worn them quite a bit already. Well can’t wait to see your video on it. Thanks for the info!
@@hpluxe6905 sure! thank you :)
Glad i have NO interest to purchase ANY piece from VCA !!!!
:( well, thank you for watching. XOXO
Why you lie all model available in London's VCL store
