New addition to my collection! Any advice on 5 motif bracelets to match this pendant?

Hi everyone! I recently added this gorgeous yellow gold diamond vintage alhambra pendant to my collection :) I’m absolutely in love with it!

I’d really like to wear 5 motif bracelets with it too, but I can’t seem to figure out which might match well. I have the 5 motif MOP but I like wearing it to match with my MOP pendant. The diamond 5 motif is not on my radar right now because it’s 1) too flashy imo for everyday wear with so many sparkly motifs and 2) it’s a very high price point (and if I buy something at that price point I really, really have to love it). I know that you can basically where anything you’d like and mix and match however you want, but I want to make sure there’s at least some cohesiveness between the necklace and bracelets. TIA!! ♡

Congratulations! The most similar would be pave/guilloche, YG guilloche or YG hammered in my opinion. As you say, many others can work well, but these would be the closest to matching without going for all-pave.
 
Agree with this^, but honestly I think the five motif MOP you have would work well too.
The five motif MOP is the same Alhambra format and YG and brilliant white
(but, I’m not a super matchy matchy person


If you’re planning to wear the bracelet alone, I wouldn’t get YG hammered. To me the YG Hammered is a great-stacking piece, but on its own I don’t love it. I do love the guilloche-pave bracelet on its own, bc it’s so sparkly without the cost of the 5 motif. However, I agree with @880 that the MOP is gorgeous with your pave pendant, which btw congrats, it’s such a gorgeous piece and looks great on you!
 
If you want to be extra matchy, you don't really have many options except for the few alternate pave pieces - guilloche/pave, malachite/pave, or the full pave. I personally don't feel that the solid gold pieces (guilloche or hammered) would look any more cohesive with your pave pendant than your MOP or other YG stone options. If I were you I would just stack the 5 motif MOP with a tennis bracelet and call it a day :lol: I do like the idea of the sweet clover bracelet too.
