Choosing an everyday pendant

[Sleepytini]

Hello guys! I am trying to choose a good everyday pendant. I know this question has been asked so many times, I just want to find something that suits my skin tone and can also be worn everyday. I am newly postpartum and now am a mom to two under two, and work full time in the operating room so I wear scrubs to work everyday.

I would love to find something that works well casually. I also try to workout everyday so I feel like that eliminates MOP even though I am loving the GMOP with RG.

I don’t even know if YG, RG or WG suits my complexion more. I wear an Apple watch everyday, as well as my wedding set which is white gold but I don’t mind mixing metals. For earrings I switch between my Tiffany signature pearl and diamond studs in WG, sweet Alhambra earrings in YG and MOP, or 2 cttw diamond studs.

I am trying to pick either a vintage Alhambra or mini frivole. I attached a picture of me. I did sell the YG onyx pendant

Please help! I love jewelry lol but I am not good with colors and am not super fashionable.

Congratulations on your new baby! And wow between and intense job and two very small children you must be crazy busy; so I'd recommend hammered gold because it matches everything and is the most sturdy and carefree of them all.
Also if you tell us why you sold your onyx pendant, ppl can help better understand your preferences.

Thank you! I thought the black looked a little too harsh for me. I also had the matching sweet Alhambra studs which I sold as well. I love to wear lots of pinks, and ivories.

I can understand that!
See if you can try the hammered one and how you feel about it.
Guilloche is stunning too ( I prefer it to hammered) but it needs a bit more care not to get scratched.

I would get a pave vintage alhambra. Hammered used to be my everyday and I upgraded to the pave.

If you want a piece that works for a long time, is low maintenance, and goes with everything, I would go for a vintage WG pave Alhambra pendant.

Do you think that is more versatile than even a frivole piece?

Totally a personal preference question. Both can be dressy or casual but which are you more comfortable with, iss more your style and which do you LOVE more? Both are beautiful.

Yes pave is an excellent option!

I see it was already recommended here but I would check out the hammered gold single motif in yellow gold. It’s beautiful, versatile, and carefree.

I got it in a 10 motif at 9 months pregnant and it was literally spit up on and just needed a rinse in the sink.

In my opinion, you would look good with a WG or YG piece. I feel that RG has too much pink undertones and doesn’t suit most people… You would look so good with WG MoP in the vintage size.

Thank you! I don’t have the best eye for color. I am really attested to the white gold MOP or even the chalcedony.

Just be aware those aren't as care free , though they certainly are beautiful

Oh! i thought the chalcedony was a low maintenance stone, which is why I was preferring it over the MOP. That’s good to know. I actually would love to get the 10-motif MOP, but that’s definitely not an everyday look. Also isn’t low maintenance at all. Being able to wear it at work, and then straight to the gym without having to remove it and leave it in the locker is a big factor I am looking for. I wish I loved the look of onyx because that would make the decision easier!

If your goal is to basically never take it off, I would really only consider all gold.
