Wow onyx with white gold is stunning- so classic and modern!!! Congrats on your necklace!
I second this. Thought there would be 10-motif GMOP. I guess I am going to just get what’s on my wishlist.
Will there be any more anniversary offerings?
@HADASSA I hope your predictions come true sooner. Gives us some hope Thanks
@swisshera, here are some pics I am reposting from November last year.
Your 20-motifs is quite special [emoji7] but I know you are a diamond [emoji184] girl [emoji1360]

I’m really surprised that there isn’t a 3rd option in Yellow Gold. That seems odd. Maybe there is one more to come?
Oh thank you!! Thank you for sharing your post once again! I am still trying to catch up with the forum, I am really backward in this regard.
I feel like the diamond with the black and white is very similar to the New York limited edition, and I don't know I have a mix feeling about mixing Onyx with diamond. Maybe I already have the Onyx with white gold from thanksgiving, this particular release doesn't do anything to me. Yours is a 10 motif was available back in 2017 and you got it already!!? I have been waiting for the 50th anniversary but I couldn't stand the wait so I got the Onyx with white gold when it came out. I really hope they have something bright, or something that I can't say no to. I got my hands on the Lapis watch, and I am really desperately wanting something to go with it without going to Sotheby's
Neglected to mention that this piece was posted by another member about the time the LEs became available at the Dover Street Market shops in London, NYC, Ginza and Singapore.
I don’t think it was part of their LE offering but could have been an SO.
I agree that it does look similar to the NYC LE but I think this 10 motifs is way more affordable (relatively speaking, of course). I do find it nice but the use of Onyx again really doesn’t make it all that special. KWIM??
Oh right thank you for mentioning it, I was looking for it back to the thread I am just really backward I couldn't find where it comes from
It could have been SO! My SA told me placing an SO with diamonds would not incur an SO premium, plus it is darling! I too think that since they did the Limited edition at Dover Street pretty recently, it just takes away that wow for not differentiating enough. I was so ready to just buy anything once I have the intel but I honestly don't think it is the case now. My other SA told me this is what is being offered for the 50th anniversary. I feel like I just lost an imaginary friend.
will also come in a 2-motif pave and grey MOP earrings, i heard

The imaginary VCA friend [emoji6] I am feeling the same way - it’s quite the letdown [emoji20]
Just received this from my SA:

Looks like I'm priced out of everything but the GMOP pendant and (single) earrings, as everything else has pave if I'm reading the above correctly. In a way, I'm thankful - less temptation means I can stick to my current wishlist.
