I prefer tigers eye over chalcedony, since it pops more and has a more striking pattern with the iridescence. I find chalcedony looks best against a black shirt in order to appreciate the stone. But beyond that, TE is also rarer to get, especially over the past few years. Also, I feel you’ll eventually get the TE necklace either way. But when you decide later on, it might be even harder to get the TE, and you’d have to wait even longer.

The gmop alternating bracelet is nice. But it’s more delicate, of course, especially as a bracelet. And maybe you’d be annoyed by the flipping of the diamond motifs. I think most people would prefer a bracelet, though, because it’s more visible to you as a wearer. But personally, if you already own a 5 motif bracelet, then I don’t think another one adds much.

Also, if you can eventually get SO approval for an alternating TE/diamond bracelet, then that would definitely be much more special than GMOP. Just another consideration, even if it may be far-off.

Ohhh that alternating TE and diamond bracelet could be a future goal 🥰

And unfortunately I would need to pay in full for the 2nd 10 motif since the SA doesn’t believe it will randomly come in stock without ordering and paying in full. I would have to cancel my initial TE order if I went for either the chalcedony or the bracelet from a financial standpoint- plus I feel like I’m giving VCA a 0% interest loan if I keep paying in full and waiting to see what comes in.

I actually love the idea of getting 10-motif in TE and for variety, adding the chalcedony in a 20-motif. And, that can come later. If there is a possibility that TE will be coming to your store soon and you are guaranteed that piece with a full down payment I would say then get the TE first. Chalcedony is more easily available so whenever you decide to add it later you can get it in a 10 or 20-motif at that time.

But, I do hear you on the 0% loan. Unfair but if you want TE badly enough and that’s the only way, I guess you might have to hit the bullet!

Yes, I actually paid in full for the TE but can get a refund and stop the order.

I asked this Friday in London and the SA said they can’t even order the TE at this moment. So I would keep the order for the TE 10 motif and wait to see it and try it in real. You can try your calcedony bracelet as a necklace just to get the look. And they should be able to let you try also the GMOP / diamond pave bracelet as I could see it almost every time I get there. If not convinced by the TE you can switch to the GMOP / diamond pave bracelet or the calcedony.
For myself I tried the calcedony in 10 motif necklace and found it too pale for my face skin tone. But I tried the calcedony necklace and was so impressed I really want it ! The bracelet GMOP / diamond pave was my first piece of VCA I bought and I really love it but care to wear it on special occasions and am afraid to damage the GMOP … the TE I only saw the earrings and also add them to wishlist 🥰. I want all the pieces I am afraid I cannot help you more 😅

I post some mod shots ; for the moment I only bought the GMOP / diamond pave bracelet

That bracelet is stunning on you!

But I really can certify that the pictures are nothing compare to the reality. I just stare at my wrist when I wear it … it is so hypnotizing 🤩

GMOP pave is stunning

Although I love GMOP so much, but based on your current collection, I would get the TE 10 motif first, as many other memebers pointed out here, TE is harder to get.
Are you still waiting for the TE pre-ordered? Hope you receive it soon!

I vote for the bracelet. It really suits your skin tone and just pops! 🌟 My second strong contender would be the TE 10 motif. The calcedony looks a tad muted on you and with your complexion the contrast of a darker colour like GMOP OR TE just brings everything together.

Wahou. Could you - if you feel alike - post a modshot? We don’t see so many 10 motif TE and I never saw it and also am thinking about a piece in TE (not sure which yet, I saw the earrings that are gorgeous!)
have fun wearing it

I receive my necklace tomorrow but this is another TE 10 motif I tried on a few months ago at the Fashionphile store.
