I exchanged my 10 motif Carnelian for my dream 20 motif. I did this blindly as boutiques were not yet open here. I'm trying to figure out if 1) this carnelian is the same "Colorway" as my previous 10 (i liked that color very much) and 2) whether it's worth exploring other carnelian 20's once the boutique opens for appointments. My SA says she will order a few for me to give me options but warned me that most 20's have the same brownish look for carnelian. My style is tinged gothic, so I appreciate deep burgundy tones especially set against gold. But this 20 is an iron brown that appears a little orange in the sun. Is there any other option? Like a cooler toned brown that reads more of a true burgundy? Am I expecting too much from carnelian? If anyone has any comparison photos to show me just how many variations are possible in carnelian, especially in the 20 motif, it would be most appreciated. My heart is set on carnelian, I just want to be obsessed with the version I wind up living with.
