RG Guilloche & Carnelian

Hi, I thought I would share some a modeling shot of the necklace doubled-up. Please forgive my simple tee- I am off from work today! I hope I can enable some as I think that this necklace is really beautiful (horrible pictures not withstanding!!)

Picture was taken in daylight!

I love this doubled up on you! Definitely looks fresh and fun. Congrats on snagging one!

I had been trying to think of something non-subjective for the color red I was hoping for. I even thought about H colors, but then I would have to specify in what leather…and I think I would lose most people there (probably the only people who would follow would be other members here, but my kind SA would certainly not). Right next to my VCA boxes all along was the perfect well-known red. I would say that my pieces are slightly deeper red, certainly within the realm of what I asked for. I do think there is a tint of burgundy, but she said she chose the bracelet with the most minimal hint brown they had in the store (the necklace was too limited to choose, it was just this one, the only reason I even got this was that I reserved it so early on). When held up to the light, they do look true red. Part of me wants to hold out for a hypothetical even “truer” red, or a blue-red/cherry red, but the other part of me knows that if I did not know there was a possibility of choice (if it was a discontinued piece, for example) and was just presented with these pieces I would be thrilled and love them.

Beautiful
I think the darker red of your set reads rich and regal- but do you feel you are trying to talk yourself into loving it? Perhaps you will grow to love it over time but maybe there should be that initial thrill? I think our @snowball says she knows when she loves something because her Apple Watch registers a faster heartbeat.
Your set is magnificent - but if it doesn’t delight you maybe there would be something you love more?

This is mostly for @snowball. It’s pretty next to red, but look at the color popping next to white! I remember you saying you would like to wear the necklace with a white tee!

Ahhh love - I buy my jewelry for my clothes- and this is an excellent combo- but again you need feel the love ❤️

@TankerToad , @nicole0612
Indeed, regal describes it perfectly. I love the rich, velvety tones. Love it with the Chanel. I like the bracelet a tiny bit more because it shows purple and blue variations on my phone screen but this might not necessarily be the case in rl.
Can't wait to see your pics @TankerToad .

Thank you ladies for the advice and opinions! Keep the photos coming, I’d love to see the sets that everyone else chooses

Hi Nicole! Your necklace and bracelet are really beautiful and look wonderful with your gorgeous clothes!! I totally understand the obsession with getting the right color. I really struggled with getting the right blue agate! If you love it, keep it, if you don’t, wait for the right color to come your way or else you will never be 100% satisfied with your pieces. Good luck deciding and enjoy them!

Thank you! I knew that i wanted this set (if was the right color) so I put down a deposit early on. I am so glad that I did!!

Thank you! That is so nice to hear. I sent a message to my SA asking if the wait would really be the rumored 2 years if I decided to wait for another color. I do like these a lot, but don’t passionately love the color. Perhaps I do passionately love the necklace, because the design is so gorgeous and my favorite length is a 20 motif; it could be that it takes much more for a bracelet to move me, since I am not a 5-motif person usually.

The pictures look gorgeous to me. When I spoke to my SA they said the next restock wouldn’t be until next year so that is likely the earliest you’d be looking at. Which for me is fine because looking at your pics I’m thinking the necklace would be a goal for 2022-2023 for me anyway.

Have you taken and pictures in the sunlight/outside in daylight?

Could you take a photo together with your all carnelian pieces pls?

 

[Alena21]

I was told the opposite since I didn't like the colours of necklace+ earrings. " Don't worry more stock coming soon." Hahaha
Not that I'm worried at all. My philosophy is if it is there it is there and I'll buy it. If not I'll move on and buy it when it is available if I still want it.

I love ithe combo necklace plus your hair! It is very bright and beautiful.

Thank you, it is good to know you heard the same for timing (I was told 1-2 years, but then it seems like they are still available currently in some locations?). I did get a few photos in the daylight.

 

[nicole0612]

These are actually the only ones I have with me here now. I will get a group photo when they are all together.

That would be wonderful. Hopefully better shades will come forward you soon. I feel like stock is quite different in various locations. You are in Japan now? I am in the US, but it seems like some boutiques here still have stock available (just guessing from posts I have seen), especially for the bracelet. It’s so weird because my store is one of the biggest, but they said there were no other pieces available to choose from. Of course, I was not there in person.
