You should keep the diamond +GMOP as well. Also would you mind posting the picture of this necklace on a flat surface?

Goodness. I would take either/or...or both!
Take the one with diamonds...I’ll take the plain one!
Great choice....ALTERNATING PAVE...NO QUESTION!!!
Both are gorgeous but that pave ...it is simply amazing! Enjoy!

Can you technically buy two of the standard GMOP and pave rose gold bracelets and link them together? That way you don’t have to pay for the 30% upcharge. Or is linking two 5 motifs to create a 10 motif necklace not the same because the locks make it look awkward?
It’s a little smaller than a regular ten motif but it can be done. One of my friends has done this and she only wears them together as a necklace.
Jumping in here for advice - so so torn between hammered yellow gold and Guilloche 10 motif Vintage Alhambra necklace. I am Worried about The Guilloche being delicate for frequent wear. Can anyone with this necklace comment as to how it has held up? And that issue aside, which style would you go with for a 10 motif necklace that you hope to wear almost daily? (I also have the vintage Alhambra bracelet and Earrings in mop - but don’t wear them often). Thanks so much for any input!
I’m not sure about the Guilloche but I have the hammered yg 10 motif and it’s not delicate and very wearable for everyday. I love it. I’ve worn it with jeans and a tank top and also with dresses. You’d be surprised how versatile it is and with kids I’m also glad it doesn’t need to be babied.
For understated chic... The hammered gold
For understated glamour... The guilloche
Both are chic and glamorous but each has an edge in one department.

Both are hardy when worn as a necklace.
I prefer the hammered look though as it’s less blingy - I don’t like attracting attention, but that’s just me. Let us know what you decide!
PS. Why do you not wear your bracelet & earrings often?
Thanks for your response! I Am basically in exercise clothes (mostly black) every day and driving my young kids around from school to activities etc. So the MOP just doesn’t really fit with that. More of weekend/night out look for me. So I wanted the necklace to be something I could wear more.
I find the mop earrings go so well with tees...
Good luck deciding and let us know!
I absolutely love the guilloche, but I think of you find MOP to be too dressy, you will definitely find guilloche to be more dressy, especially in a 10 motif.
