One motif pave or 10 motif?

[vcaloverrrrr]

Hello! I've been contemplating my next purchase and it's so tough to decide! I really love the WG pave pendant but my friend pointed out that for the same/a little less I can get a 10 motif onyx YG necklace which is also on my list.

I think I may reach for the pave more as the 10 motif might be too dressy... but which would you get and why?

It truly depends on your lifestyle and whether you’re a pendant person or a statement necklace person. Of course you can be both but usually we lean towards one more than the other. I opted for the pavè first because I’m a pendant person and love layering, whereas the 10 motif is a statement necklace and doesn’t really work well with other necklaces of similar lengths. A 10 motif still on my wishlist but I’m not prioritizing pieces I won’t wear as often, and I am currently prioritizing a 20 motif more so than a 10 personally. Have you tried them both on at the boutique? Cost aside, I would get the one that really speaks to you! At these prices you should buy what you love and not what you feel is a “bargain”.

Definitely buy the one that you’d wear more.
Personally, I gravitate towards wearing my 10s more than the pendant. I don’t like layering pendants as they somehow all ended up tangled within minutes of me wearing them. Good luck deciding!

I recommend getting the one you will wear the most

can you go to try things on? When I go, I end up thinking about things that are totally different

I personally love my GMOP six motif necklace (but I’m a minority opinion on TPF)

You will know best which you will wear and enjoy more, but I love my pave pendant. I have it in YG because that matches with the rest of my VCA and other YG jewelry, but it is a great piece and one I am really happy with!

In my opinion, the pave pendant is a low maintenance, easy to grab and wear piece - just the kind of jewelry pieces I love. But again, I am a pendant lover. If price was not an issue, which do you see yourself wearing more? I would get that. One thing I have learnt is that things that look great on paper in building a collection may not always be the most wearable pieces. I would choose ease of ‘wearability’ any day.

I have the 10-motif and also two different pendants (not the pave though). I think it depends if you are more casual and plan to wear it daily (pave pendant) or more of a dressy person who wears lots of black (10-motif onyx). The pave will probably “go” with more items as it’s diamonds, but the onyx is truly stunning. I wear black often so for me, getting use of the 10-motif isn’t hard. However, if this were my only VCA necklace, I’d probably get the pave as it is more versatile.

Ooo tough call. Generally I'd say go for whichever you'll get more wear out of. However, if you already have a couple of pendants, then I'd choose the 10-motif.

I have 2/10 motif yellow gold onyx necklaces and the YG Pave pendant. It is hard to say which I would say is my favorite as they are both worn regularly. I would say if I had to pick one I would get the YG pave pendant to start. It is just such a beautiful sparkly piece and you can dress it up or wear it with jeans. Then down the road add a 10 motif onyx (or 2 of them).

I would go for the 10 motif. Since I’ve started paying more attention to jewelry on others I think 10s are among the least common pieces I see, so they catch my eye.

That said, as others have pointed out it doesn’t matter what’s dressier or more unusual or more expensive, it really matters which fits your style more.

I voted for the onyx ten motif. The vintage pave pendant is beautiful, but my eye has been drawn to statement pieces more lately. I have the hammered yg ten motif and LOVE it. I wore it today, actually. It’s my favorite necklace in my collection.

I find the 10 motif immensely more wearable after I had it extended to 18”. All of a sudden it’s just as wearable as a pendant but with extra oomph. The 16” sits more like a choker on me and it’s a more formal feel IMO. I have the onyx 10 motif and love it.

Ooh true I always felt like the regular 10 motif length feels more formal and dressy. Would you mind sharing mod photos of your extended 10 motif?

I love both style necklaces. Currently patiently waiting for my 10 motif with removable extender hammered yg to match my new earrings and bracelet recently received. I chose the 10 motif cause not only it’s pretty, it’s a statement as well, not as common and you get more motif for the price. And with the extender, can be worn in 3 different lengths. Bonus 4th way is when the bracelet is attached to it too! Win-win!
Good Luck! I’d love to have the pave too tbh lol

I bought my first VCA piece in May this year. Was considering between the YG pave pendant and the 10 motif YG MOP. Ultimately I bought the YG pave pendant as it is more versatile and not too loud. It is more suitable as a everyday piece for my style/dressing. I'm very happy with my choice.
