I think because it looks slanted on the ring finger. Maybe try the middle finger? I find it sits better there for some reason.

Found these pics: I think I tried this ring a few times... I still really do not understand why I don't like it so much with all my huge love for guilloche. I am sure I will fall in love with the earrings (we did not yet have them in stock here, so I have never tried them on!..). Maybe I should try the ring with the guilloche bracelet on?
But I want something like this to be versatile and go with everything... Or maybe my problem is it feels like it does not stand out enough?.. I really don't know and very confused.

I appreciate your pics so much. I feel that maybe I am drawn to this ring because it is simple and elegant, yet at the same time the shine makes it special. I am sorry you are torn. Maybe you are looking for a showstopper, while I am looking for a piece to blend in and complement my daily bracelet stack. As well, I wear my 2 Alhambra pendants often (MOP and last years blue sevres) and feel it would look nice with them as well.
 
No problem at all dear. In fact this is not mine, I was just trying it in the store. Still trying to decide whether I want to buy or not. I had zero doubts about magic guilloche: I just couldn't walk out of the door without it. Neither I had any doubts about guilloche bracelet when the store finally had stock. But this one: I don't know what's wrong with me and why. Really. Like it's lacking something. I'm still trying to figure it out!
imo, I think it's because of the thick band of gold the motif rests on. i think the guilloche needs to be on a chain like the bracelet and the pendant are to allow it's brilliance to really shine. when it's ontop of that thick band, it feels less delicate and radiant and more like a big chunk of gold.

I was just going to comment the same thing when I saw you said it first. The ring would probably look a lot more delicate and a bit more “stand out” if it was on a thin band instead of a thick one. It seems incongruous somehow.
 
I love the guilloche design and tried on the bracelet a few times but I just didn’t have the wow feeling when it was on me. I guess it is my skin colour that doesn’t look good with the yellow gold.

Hope they have the rose gold version soon!

I had the same feeling and not sure if u feel the same but I think it’s missing a diamond centre which other vintage alhambra rings have except for the pave ones. With the diamond centre, there will be more contrast.

Yes it was the same for me. Strangely, the bracelet just doesn’t look good on my wrist. So I just give up on this idea and I’m also afraid of dings on the bracelet when wearing it.

yes I think so too. This is what I actually told SA when I was eyeing the ring. I kind of understand where VCA were coming from that it may be too much of a bling but they did it for the holiday pendant and it does not look odd or strange or too much. So yes, I agree it needs a diamond in the centre. Maybe this is what sets me off!
 
It says it is but if you actually try to purchase it, it’s out of stock.
I would suggest that you call the VCA number listed on the website; the reps can help you locate a store that has the item you're looking for. I know guilloche is hard to find, but I have seen a few pendants/necklace/bracelets being offered recently by different SAs that I work with. Goodluck!

ITA with this. is there perhaps a between the finger ring in guilloche? In magic size, not vintage? I think you could use more bling, on the hand, going by your photo. However, I am a more-ish kind of person; everyone’s taste is different :biggrin:
 
Can I please ask you all how the guilloche mixes with pink gold? I wear Cartier rose gold on my wrists & im wondering just how obvious/jarring it would be to have a YG guilloche pendant. Thank you!!
