Then it should be much easier to get one with the striations that you prefer.

Hi sure, they are from Paspaley, which is an Australian local brand. They specialise in high quality south sea pearl jewellery.
Since I rarely wear my 10 motif thought I’d post a pic.
I love this on you! Since I am considering adding one 10-motif would love to know your thoughts on why you don’t wear this much @EpiFanatic
Hi @eternallove4bag , the weight takes a little to get used to. But more than most of necklines are really high, crewnecks or turtlenecks. I am usually in a pullover hoodie on weekends and barely leave the house on weekdays. Boring life is my problem. I think you would look fabulous in one and I would bet money practical wardrobe issues would not pose a problem. What combo are you thinking?
@EpiFanatic aah I hadn’t considered the weight. And, I was thinking of getting either the white mop (undecided between YG or RG), TE in YG or guilloche in RG next year. I love the idea of the white mop 10-motif with the two motif earrings (also in white mop) but I question its wearability. I don’t want to get something I wouldn’t wear on a daily basis. I recently got the sweet 16-motif in RG and I am OBSESSED with that piece and its versatility.
Now, regarding necklines, I wear a lot of V-necks and square-necks in summer but during winter I wear more turtle and high necklines. Let’s just say my necklines are all over the place
I can totally see MOP glowing on you. You wear a lot of RG. Would you consider a RG MOP? As a first piece that would go with EVERYTHING you have. And then if you find you like it and want more variety then you can co wider another. And if you don’t want anymore at least the RG MOP go with everything. That’s what I would do if I were you.@EpiFanatic aah I hadn’t considered the weight.

A definite YES @EpiFanatic
I would do the 10-motif WMOP in RG in a heartbeat but paying 30% more makes me want to throw up! Lol! But, it would go perfect with a piece I am going to SO (strangely, no mark-up for that piece since it’s half pave) so just got to calm my stomach and ready my brains (not to mention my wallet) to shell out that ridiculous 30% mark-up! Why VCA why? Just for metal change
The WG mop is gorgeous.Switch up the metals. I think you already have a wonderful collection of RG. Just my 2 centsA definite YES @EpiFanatic

The wmop in RG is probably my next 10 motif that I’m going to add. I’m going to be honest and say that I’ve kinda reconciled myself to the fact that the markup is always going to be part of any piece that I get because we are RG lovers. I say spend the extra and get what you know you will love and wear. Settling is just going to have you dissatisfied and still wanting the item.@EpiFanatic aah I hadn’t considered the weight.

@missie1 100% this! Sometimes I do wonder if I have enough RG and YG pieces and to move on to WG. I go to the store almost ready to commit to a WG piece and then the moment I compare RG and WG, that battle is lost and I am back to wanting more RG! As you said, we are RG lovers and it looks good on our skin tone without getting lost! i know if I ever add WG pieces, they have to be super blingy like my platinum ring. So, leaning towards adding a diamond tennis bracelet, the tennis necklace and diamond stud earrings in due course. I have a feeling I am fighting a lost battle here
You know I’m in full support of tennis bracelet snd necklace set as it brings the pop to wg VCA pieces which feel understated on me. Also I find myself not needing nor wanting a huge collection of wg VCA pieces. The trick is to find the few VCA choices of wg to make one cohesive look.@missie1 100% this!

You and I are absolutely syncing in our thoughts and choices @missie1 Love that! I love the look of diamonds in WG but honestly don’t need a gazillion pieces in WG. Just key pieces that I can wear sometimes when the mood strikes. I am a RG and YG lover and I can’t fight it
That’s why I am taking my time with the WG pieces. I need to find key pieces. And it’s okay if I take a few years to hone in on those key pieces. Planning is half the fun anyway
I have to agree. I prefer YG v RG, but have started a WG collection, but only bracelets, bc WG washes me out. I do have a few pieces of WG earrings/necklaces but they all have stones. In fact the manager at a flagship store once dissuaded me from the pave-10 motif bc she said it looked like silver on me! I have always loved the WG-MOP 10 motif, but it just doesn’t suit me. It’s so gorgeous, but @eternallove4bag try a WG necklace before buying it.
