i was mesmerised when i first saw guilloche and i was quite sure that i was going to get it. as i slept on the idea for a week, toying with the idea, i started to think of it less. IMO the design is intriguing but its the kind that makes me tired over time. if i were you i will go for hammered yellow gold - its timeless and classic piece and its easy to layer and stack if it pleases you

I have the 10-motif guilloche and love it, but feel it's a bit much for everyday, especially with exercise clothes - would be rather heavy if jogging or jumping I'd imagine! I have worn it casually, but only when going out as part of a "look". Perhaps you can consider the single motif pendant in either hammered or guilloche for everyday wear?
No, but it's not a daily wear one for me. Think a bracelet will likely get a few scratches but earrings or necklace should generally hold up well as long as you are careful with on/off and storage
If someone could post a pic of them in a guilloche 10 motif would so appreciate it! Like A candid everyday kind of photo of how it looks out in the world - not a trying it on in the boutique type of photo. This is hard decision to make never having tried it on myself. Tia!
Based on your concerns, it seems that you would be well served to wait until the boutiques reopen and go in and try both on. I think that’s the only way you’re going to get an answer as to what will work for you and your lifestyle.
I think you need to try it on and compare. I was very excited when it first came out, but for me... it looked a bit 80s-gold bling on me so i passed. I know people will say jewelry has no age limit, but your piece of jewelry is part of a fashion image. You have to see what works for you, your style and the “look” you are trying to achieve. Everyone has a look.
I would not buy this piece without trying it on.
Good luck!
I have worn it a lot and shows no signs of wear! I still love it!
Sharing my first VCA piece- guilloche bracelet. Not sure why but I have never considered VCA until my recent visit to the shop with a friend and instantly fell in love with everything guilloche! I have bought a single pedant as well but sent it in for extension. Thanks for letting me share.
note: Frivole cuff isn’t mine. I was just trying it on but it will definitely be my next purchase. It’s absolutely gorgeous!

I get the 80s vibe too but others love it and rock it and looks amazing on them. It’s a gorgeous piece.
I guess it helps that 80s jewelry is coming back in trend? Kekeke. Jokes aside it’s definitely a blingy and showy piece with lots of gold so it has to work for your complexion and style I think
I got the sweet watch earlier this year, and took out a motif to make it fit better. I then had my jeweller convert the extra guilloche into a pendant as I didn’t want to waste it!
