Yes, I think it would be pretty alternating with hammered PG (and more care-free), but maybe someone with guilloche and carnelian pieces can post a real stone mock up and change our minds!

Yes, I understand your point and thank you. I was saying I hope that they would choose brights (hence: "I would LIKE to think they would..."). I seen two lady bugs so obviously that wasn't enough. What one person likes, another may not, so while it's fun to guess how they may look, we all know we need to see it in person. I try not to get too focused on releases before they actually happen because while Ive often been pleasantly surprised (I'm an optimist), there have also been times when I've been a bit let down. It is what it is I guess. Like you I don't particularly love the brown toned carnelian. Hopefully, due to its limitability, they will pick stones which will be the most aesthetically pleasing to the majority.
I am with you, I am optimistically hoping they use beautiful red stones. If not I will pass.
Yeah what I liked in pictures disappointed me in real life and vice versa. Also different reds look good on different skin tones. The bright red makes yellow undertones to pop out and look more yellow so orange and brownish carnelian is the way to go for them. Not sure how it is going to suit people with fair skin too on the other side. The pink guilloche might blend too much and make the skin look dull. I'm not feeling this release very much.
I also hope I'll like it in person and on me to counter the fiasco with the thin clover release.
Carnelian is not very popular stone for a reason.
Am I mistaken or do you not wear the tiger eye and carnelian two motif earrings? If I am correct, did you just find the perfect shade for fair skin? I am interested in the 2 motif earrings for the new launch.
You are right I do have them. They are the perfect colour BUT for the past two years I have failed to find a bracelet, a Magic pendant or 10 motif to match in several countries on different continents. I feel I have seen all the carnelian there is. You can see the pic I posted here. This was a fresh batch
I think also, the first pieces to sell have the nicest stones. Hence, if the specimens were still in the store, they were likely not chosen by previous buyers who went with stones more to their liking.
I think this is partially due to the low inventory in the past two years. I was able to find very pretty Carnelian stones as recently as 2018 with multiple options to choose from. The good old days!

Ah right! Never thought of this but likely very true!!!!
So my SA sent me a text today asking if I had seen the limited collection. I told him I did but that I’m not really loving the combination.
Your carnelian bracelet is lovely. It goes very nicely with your complexion from what I remember.
Thank you, I am very fair like you, and most important to me was to get a cool blood-red shade for earrings, since it would be right next to my face. They were purchased about 6 years ago and there was a huge selection. Then of course I wanted to match other pieces to the earrings as much as possible. I can’t seem to get a photograph that captures the true shade, but that is my favorite hue.
Absolutely 100% my case. Got the cool coloured carnelian for my TE/carnelian 2 motif earrings then stalled trying to get anything else to match.
I’m extremely curious if there is going to be such colour carnelian selection in the new RG guilloche/carnelian release.
Even if there isn’t I’m happy there is at least something new coming up.
This is the time when I actually come to this forum to chat with you guys and exchange thoughts and experience.
Just to share that I was told this is a permanent collection. So we can take our time to consider before deciding whether to get them
