The pendent is one sided only. The picture I saw on a random website is probably fake. So disappointed. I think double side would feel a lot more lux.

Look above. There’s a picture of the back and it’s solid brushed gold, not guilloche.
The diamond is indeed very small. It’s 0.05. Does the LE look more gray than WG pave pendant?
HP with diamonds are usually single sided. They are heavier than the stone pendants. Anything with diamonds would not be double sided. Otherwise one side would look like the pave Alhambra pieces, and there would not be a diamond on the other side anyway. These are designed not to flip and you are meant to see the side with the crown of the diamond. The opposite would be the culet of the diamond and that just doesn’t make sense.
I actually think this would’ve been the perfect pendant where they could have done Guilloche on the other side without the diamond without really altering how it is set. It would have meshed perfectly as opposed to the ones with stones. So unfortunate. We pay for the price of craftsmanship. None of these pieces are actually worth the price we pay. So in my eyes it cheapens it a little bit that the Guilloche isn’t followed thru on the other side. And because the diamond is so small I would much rather just wait until I can get a full Guilloche pendant for around that price or even cheaper

Well it’s a lucky thing there are so many varying preferences. I love the WG guilloche with the diamond which I think elevates it. It’s one big flash of white with a little sparkle in the center. And I love the solid gold smooth back on all the HPs. Different strokes for different folks...
Haha oh I’m definitely team diamond. Diamonds are never not a good idea! Ahah I’m just saying I wish they would have followed thru with the Guilloche design that is so special throughout the pendant. I’m just very particular about design aspects
I love the way VCA does the smooth back of the Holiday Pendant. I am so happy the Guilloche design is not on the back. I always get my HP engraved with the year and initials.
I had absolutely no expectations for this holiday pendant and wasn’t planning on purchasing it or expecting WG. Last night when I saw the thread got to 52 pages(!) I had to check it out. I knew it was “me” the second I looked at it. Love the cool against type white sunburst. Modern art Deco vibe. I already paid for it, sight unseen, and I’m getting it lengthened. So excited to see it.
Thanks nicole0612!
Yes, you are right! I am obsessed with it.
I am wearing my 50th anniversary holiday pendant today to see if I would ever really wear the 2020 HP. I think it’s the second time I’ve ever worn it, but I will always keep it for the significance of the 50th. I am wavering trying to talk myself into the 2020 holiday pendant. I think the design is great. I appreciate that it stands out more than the pave, because the white gold pave vintage pendant blends into my skin. I just don’t know that I will ever reach for a vintage pendant much. Perhaps the significance of the year is enough of a reason to have this one as well.
You shouldn't force yourself. Usually, if I have to talk myself into a piece, I don't wear it much once bought. Maybe the magic sizes work better for you?
