Hello Everyone, I am thinking of adding a 10 motif. I currently own the single motif (in vintage size) + 5 motif in the same stone. However, I am second guessing myself whether having the same stone in both the 10 motif and single motif will be redundant. Would love to hear your thoughts/opinions on this. Thanks in advance!
 
Do you feel it’s redundant or do you have different outfits you feel will look better with one vs the other?
I am dressed mostly in round collar jumpers. And the reason I am thinking of adding a 10 motif is to sometimes wear it with my 5 motif, as I "think" that might be a nice look sometimes. But I am really not sure if I would really wear a 10 motif often, which is another reason why I am so hesitant.

In my humble opinion, it would be redundant. If it’s a specific stone that you love above others and want to add multiple pieces in them, you can maybe add a 5 motif, earrings, ring etc. instead of another necklace in the same stone. And if you are open to other stones then you can go that route too.
I actually have the 5 motif and earrings in the same stone. One part of me feels that it will be redundant and the funds could be channeled to other items that I am thinking of adding (a magic pendant and a 6-motif necklace).

The 10 motif is just for the days when I wanted something different. And what you said about getting the 10 in another stone is something that I was also thinking about. Maybe I should totally abandon the 10 motif idea and see if the 6 motif necklace works out better. Decisions :confused1:
 
Never redundant! Sometimes you might feel like wearing just the single, or sometimes you might feel like wearing the 10, or the 10+5, or layered with the single. So many variations! I have the single WMOP, the 10 and the 5. Love them all.
Do you find that you tend to reach 1 more than the other?
 
You mean, like this?

Looks cute, in my opinion.

To me it looks like she couldn't decide ^ or she couldn't trust the hotel safe. The multi would look perfect on its own. The pendant is superfluous and actually detracts.

If you love a stone, neither is redundant, especially if you favour different necklines.

I love my 6 motif but it’s very different than a 10 imo.
The 10 didn’t do much for me but the 6 is beautiful, more interesting imo and helps elongate my short torso. It looks amazing with both round and v necks.
 
Personally I prefer to get the 10 motif in a different stone that would complement your other pieces, I like some varieties and contrast, but it'll still give you the option to layer them when you want to but without looking too matchy (unless you're into the matchy look of course). People on this subforum are truly amazing at mixing and matching their VCA pieces, so I would recommend you to take a peek at the stacking & action threads for inspo'! :love:
