Honestly , I prefer how Rose gold looks with WG, specially with diamonds . I don’t love the YG with the WG HP . They are both gorgeous individually. Congrats on your beautiful pieces

For those who extended the necklace, is there any downfall to having it extended? I just purchased my first Vancleef piece - The 2020 Holiday pendant.
It is a pretty simple process.....if you want a longer pendant get it extended. If you like the length it is sold as then do not have it lengthened. I am not sure what you mean by "downfall". Having a pendant extended does not change anything about the actual pendant - it only changes the length of the chain. Hope this helps.
The pendant is about 16.5" which some consider the perfect length for a small pendant, and there should be a second ring for those who want to wear it shorter. As kimber said, if that's a good length for you, then there is no reason to extend it. My daughter is petite and she wears a 15" pendant, so she would have it shortened or wear it on the second ring. On the other hand, I like small pendants at 17-17.5", so I might lengthen mine .5 to 1 inch. I do have one VA pendant, and I actually use a separate 1 inch extender on it which I can remove (not available from VCA).
It looks stunning on you! It didn't appear to be clashing though. Maybe cos you are wearing YG Guilloche earrings. I remember someone here mentioned they might have wanted to pair the YG Guilloche necklace with this HP WG Guilloche and in that case, it does clash cos they are both worn like almost side by side together.
All your mod shots are so pretty! I need to go check it out for myself 
. I read somewhere that some people felt it did not look like white gold because of the guilloche motif, that it almost did not look like precious metal.... for those of you who have it, what do you think?

It’s very shiny and beautiful. Reflective like the Rolex WG bezel. Feels like WG to meAll your mod shots are so pretty! I need to go check it out for myself
Now that you mention it, my HP from last year was rough on the backside, but just did not do anything about it. This one from this year is much smoother. I even had last years engraved and it came back just as rough. If it bothers you see if you can exchange, because it still kinda bothers me about last years. Hope that helps.
My onyx holiday pendant is the same way, so I think it’s normal. I’m sure with many years of wear the edges will round out and lose that sharpness.
My 2018 HP was a bit rough on the backside too. It eventually "softened" after many uses. I think the oils from our skin wear down the gold a smidge.
