To be honest nothing obvious on mine, and I am very ‘airline sensitive’ :panic::lol: So I wonder if it’s a batch by batch issue, cause I have seen some vintage so gmop earrings that seems to have a more vintage- obvious airline gaps look:frown: I also think the camera angles can sometimes make the airlines look worse. If the gaps are proportional it’s ok for me but sometimes I see the motifs and the gold beadings around them very uneven on others that I saw from a distance :sad: Apologies for the blurry pics but one is from a video just to see it closer up View attachment 4826360View attachment 4826361

Thanks so much for your pictures! This is really helpful. Last time I inspected my motifs, I saw them in the light of my 'make-up mirror light'. You know, the really bright white light, which is obviously much worse (also for my face in general :lol:). I just inspected it again against my pc light and it is much better now. The airlines are evenly around the motif. But I don't have it on my WMOP VA pendant... Hard to photograph, but here are some pictures. Is this inevitable? I don't have other bracelets, so I cannot compare...

To me they look good! I have only felt there’s something about the gmop earrings that I have seen around, don’t know why.....or whether it’s just a camera angle illusion but they seem to have more uneven gaps to me. I am hesitant to place an SO for that reason- plus you can’t predict the final colour choices. I think I will end up converting my gmop holiday pendants into earrings instead as I know what they look like :lol:

Thanks so much. Happy to hear they seem ok :amuse: Yes, I totally understand and it is good to know!I also want something to pair my bracelet with and since it is YG, it must be a SO... Don't know if I want to gamble on earrings esp. for color reasons. But then again, this would also be the same if I want to order a 1 motif (magic/VA) pendant in GMOP.... Maybe the three motif earrings (because they are already in YG and I can pick it myself). A lot to think about!

Yes highly recommend the 3 motifs gmop in yg! You can choose one with very nice gmop. I am not a big fan of the 3 drop for daily use though so I might do something to that too oops :facepalm::graucho::rolleyes:
My VCA are forever pieces so I don’t mind to play around with them. I am a bit adventurous though, even my SA knows this and she laughs about it :lol:
