Hi and thanks for your feedback about YG Guilloché 😘
I love hammered and the fact that you can wear it everyday even in the pool etc without being afraid of wear and tear. So I keep my advice for MTO WG hammered or RG
- for stone I like TE too which is very neutral. As of brighter colored stone I would advice blue agate.
- I love the GMOP iridescence but the stone is at high risk to turn dull with time so you have to cope with that …
Maybe try at the boutique (if they don’t have 10 then 5 motif) to get a better idea ?

Yes good points regarding the hammered. I have a YG hammered 5 motif and love how easy it is to wear. If I were ever to get a second 10 motif, I think I would almost certainly go with hammered YG.

Hello dear spaul, i own YG Gillioché 10 motif for about 4 years now. This is one of my favorite ones. It is very easy going and works with the majority of outfits and occasions.
Saying this I need also to admit that if you stack it with other necklaces, then it will get some micro scratches - not so visible as on a bracelet but still. Dust, makeup, etc. fill these scratches very easily and that gives a bit of dull effect. So what I personally do, I clean my gillioché much more frequently than other pieces. Luckily it is very easy to do as it is a solid gold one.
So all in all I would definitely recommend 10 Gillioché but with regular care.

The two 10 motifs look stunning layered together like this!

From the readily available options, I would look for a dark blue agate (bright blue agate is stunning, but a more dark royal/off-navy tone will read more like a neutral) or a very iridescent MOP with a lovely sheen. If you don’t mind waiting, you could also consider a RG or YG hammered 10 motif. The look will be quite different than your guilloche. If you are open to WG, I would also consider chalcedony and wait for a lilac shade. I didn’t care too much for chalcedony until I found the perfect shade, and now it is by far my most worn 10 motif.

I don't mind waiting at all. I think most of the 10 motifs are going to need a wait, at least that is what my SA told me. I was unsure if a YG hammered would be too similar to my guilloche but I am glad you mentioned that! I find the chalcedony/WG too cool on my skin tone but it is so beautiful.

I have the 10 motif YG tigers eye and would totally recommend. It’s a ‘colour’ but at the same time it is very neutral and easy to wear. I wear mine so much more that I thought I would when I first got it.

I love TE! My best friend has it so we try to get different items because we share!

I think from this list, your best bet is probably the YG or RG hammered 10-motif, and I would lean towards the RG version, since you already have the Guilloche in YG. This would complement your other pieces quite well.

Though I would also echo @nicole0612 in that chalcedony is a stunning colour too!

The RG hammered could be a contender!

WOW this looks stunning! Also, @spaul I don't really stack my YG guilloche. But this makes me want to! Lol


I am going back to the boutique to pick up my RG guilloche/carnelian bracelet this week, so I am going to see if I can do some try ons to see if I can figure out the next 10 motif!

This is so pretty together! Looks almost like the Seoul LE!

Is anyone going to Korea? 😍

Oooohhh so pretty !!! 🤩 thanks for this idea of stacking. Not sure I would be confident in stacking the guilloché as I would like to preserve it at least at the beginning. But this is really a thing to look at your pics and I can’t stop watching this eye-candy :love:

On that note, I would love to get some advice from the hive! I really want to get another 10 motif. I currently only own the YG Guilloché. I have an onyx bracelet, RG and carnelian, and also the YG Guilloché bracelet. I am not keen on getting an onyx, MOP or carnelian 10 motif. And I am not a VIP to get a RG guilloche/Carnelian, sadly.

I would love malachite but am terrified of the wear and tear. I don't think I can handle the dulling over time. The blue agate is beautiful but I am unsure of how often I could wear it. I am not afraid of color, just unsure of colored jewelry. Hopefully that makes sense. Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you!

Why would you need to be a VIP to get the RG guiloche /Carnelian ? Or is that a special order in 10 motifs ?

The more you wear the MOP the shinier it gets as it’s a living stone. So I suppose the secret is wearing it a lot , albeit being careful not to touch water, sweat, perfumes etc !

I lengthened one of mine and will do so will my other two which are within a year of purchase. It costs 200 US $ to lengthen or shorten it after that period so I will take advantage of it

I thought the same.. ! I tried the shorter length for a few months but decided lengthening will give me more flexibility in the longer run
