MOP owners- Does grey MOP give off a “glow” like white MOP does? I’ve noticed that even in the sweet size, white MOP gives off a luster or glow, in low light/shadows. Is that the nature of all MOP or is that because of the white/bright color of the WMOP? I like both grey and white but want that glow so just wondering if both will do that.
Does GMOP “glow” like WMOP?

Hello
Have the magic 16 motif with WMOP, GMOP & onyx. Also the 5 motif VA pave and GMOP bracelet ; I personally prefer the GMOP because the colour and shine vary so much depending the light. I really love it. Si yes it glows marvelously 😍
Here is my bracelet and I just tried a WMOP and ROSE gold MTO

GMOP gives off an iridescence characteristic of MOP, but I would not call it glowing in the same way.
While I have a personal preference for GMOP, arguably, white or pink toned MOP gives a more flattering glow next to the face. @BigAkoya is more expert on the luminosity and glow of MOP and pearls, so am tagging her here.
ETA: I am not disagreeing with @spaul . I think I just have a different definition of ‘glow’

Thanks for tagging me. I've been on & off TPF lately, so not checking regularly.
You are correct in your assesment. White pearls/MOP, usually in the context of akoya pearls, "glow" for their luster. The best akoyas have amazing luster that is second to no other pearl; their glow is like glass.
Tahitian pearls, the source of GMOP, is prized more for their bodycolor. The "glow" is a softer glow, more satiny.
Tahitians/GMOP are prized for their color, with "peacock" being the most highly valued. Peacock is a dark green-gray to blue-gray with pink to purple overtones. Aubergine is next, having a dark grayish purple bodycolor. Pistachio is yellowish green to greenish yellow; the least valued.

If you want glow, I would get WMOP, and I would get it with YG. The WMOP that VCA uses with their YG metal has a gorgeous pink overtone. It will literally glow, and if you are wearing earrings or a necklace, it will make your face glow. The WMOP that VCA uses with their WG metal has a silver overtone. It is still beautiful (I have a WG MOP set), but to me, it is no comparison to the WMOP in YG.
If you want the beauty of color, get GMOP. GMOP is stunning with peacock colors of green, pink, purple. It is the Aurora Borealis in a pearl.
Hope this helps.
Thanks so much for your input! Lots of good info, appreciate it! Definitely leaning towards WMOP in YG now especially if it has a pink overtone.
Yes ordered on internet and fetched at the boutique 🙌🏻. I like it stacked with my 5 motif VA GMOP & pave 🥰
Wow, congrats! It was available online? It’s never available whenever I check. I placed an order in store and they told me it’ll take up to 9 months…
Yes it was and I jumped on the occasion. I thought this item was not available to order but I didn’t really asked. I thought that because they told me the earrings (also on website in Switzerland available) Sweet Alhambra were not but didn’t ask for the bracelet …
As I never saw it I was not sure to love it but I really love it stacked. Not convinced to wear it alone though… but I have enough other bracelet to stack it different ways 🙂↔️
Wow I see the earrings are available on your site - this line has been unavailable in Canada for awhile now...so jealous!
Hi, I love both WMOP and GMOP, cannot say which one I love more. Agree with @BigAkoya that the WMOP gives more glow, specially next to your face, I feel it lights up my face. I feel the GMOP has this stunning colorful iridescence, mystyrious and sophisticated look.
I got WMOP set first because I think it's more versatile. But both are beautiful. good luck deciding!

love all 3 of your bracelets. very beautiful. which one do you gravitate toward more?
Thanks so much. For now : wear my 6 motif RG sweet Alhambra bracelet for everyday with my 2 messika pave move bracelet.
For day off work and weekends : I really love to wear the GMOP / pave bracelet: but too much fragile to wear 24/7 on my opinion so prefer to keep it for days off work
NB have only 2 bracelet yet. 3rd is ordered but not received (WG hammered bracelet)

Thanks! I’m definitely leaning towards WMOP and maybe add a GMOP piece down the line.
