Glad you tried on the GMOP pave 5 motif! I don't think you could go wrong with MOP/GMOP from VCA, as long as it doesn't look dull you should be good. Now this is just my personal preference, I've seen some really pretty GMOP on this forum and in the wild where the GMOP has a very prominent rainbow/northern lights effect (see link below for photos), that's the one I would go for. Have fun shopping & deciding on your purchase :heart:

Let’s see your magic single pendants

Je le trouve parfait !

Wow I didn’t know that GMOP can get that effect.

Am I weird that I prefer it to be more dark smothering with not too much rainbowing? There should still be iridescence.

I see some threads on GMOP. Shall check out those pretty pics.

No not weird at all! I'm probably the minority with that preference. That's the beauty of VCA alhambra with gemstones, there's always a variation for everyone :hbeat:

It’s serendipitous that @missie1 mentioned that varying depths also make the stack more interesting and gives it that little bit of extra something. @Purrsey i am not sure what specifically you’re looking for but adding a piece later that has a different width and texture may do it for you. Like @missie1’s tennis bracelets bring the blingy impact. And her clover is thicker. Have you considered a perlee signature maybe sometime after getting the single row? VCA stacks can take time. I do like the blinginess of the single row next to the primarily gold Cartier pieces you have. But I just got my pave sweet bracelet and here is the single row with motifs bracelets.

Sorry I just have to go OT for a bit and say my eyes are so blessed by these photos… I think the single row really sparkles so bright in WG. :faint:

GMOP is a chameleon-ish stone and will look different under different lighting and different angles. Under sunlight it will look more iridescent but in dim lighting or certain angles it looks more grey! Definitely adds interest to the eyes and how they appear since they don’t always look the same throughout the day.

While I’m processing your precious replies, here are the try ons.

I tried them solo and stacked.

It was an impromptu one and I only had my clash on which I don’t think goes with any perlee but I had a good feel of the fitting. Single row dia is XS (fits me) and clover is S (too loose). By the way I think my phone cam is crappy this round; doesn’t capture the sparkle. But I’m sure you all have seen it all irl!

Gonna say I was not really whelmed, and especially so when worn solo. What’s my problem? Lol.

And today I learnt that the Alhambra pave 5 motif doesn’t come in RG. I prefer how the diamonds are against RG (I saw the pendant in RG) than against YG.

After trying these, I moved on to trying the stones bracelets. I surprised myself. They actually look so fun and more so when stacked with other stone bracelets. The fun element is something I never had (in Jewelry).

On me, usually malachite pops but the SA gave me the look of “don’t even think about it”. She says I can consider onyx and carnelian (I saw carnelian for the first time and I don’t like that it’s not opaque. Just personal preference). I tried tiger eye, onyx, malachite, MOP (I love the black!), and chalcedony. So pretty.

Why no photos? Because I totally forgot to snap after moving to the stones haa.

Is there a fav combo of yours of two stones? Meaning wearing 2 x 5 motif bracelets.

I have six of the 5 motifs bracelets - all yellow gold - all of these mix well together - usually will stack a combo of three together.
Carnelian
MOP
Malachite
Blue Agate
Tiger Eye
Hammered Yellow Gold

Did you try the Perlée single row diamond on with your sm pavé Love? I am curious if the Perlée is any wider than sm pavé. It looks like it maybe is? VCA does not describe the bracelet widths on their site (in Canada).

I like the Perlee single row diamond but because you already have the SM pave LOVE, I feel like you might be doubling up on diamond bangles :confused1:

Please don’t come at me but do you really need another diamond bangle? I feel like you already have an amazing stack!

I see the consensus here is for the 1 row when compared with the Sweet Clover.

The Sweet Clover is currently being transferred to my city’s boutique, but the SA said the 1 row is unavailable.

The Sweet Clover has always been my 1st choice, but it would have been nice to be able to see both and to be certain.

I’ve already put down the full 100% deposit to have the Sweet transferred in my size and gold preference, but I can always change my mind. My husband thinks I should wait to see the 1 Row to fully decide so this is giving me pause.

Is the 1 row always a long wait or is it due to the holidays?
