Thank you for the reply.
I already have Guilloche bracelet.
Option 4: Guilloche earrings + VA Onyx bracelet
If I choose this combination, I will have 2 bracelets, 2 sets of earrings and 2 necklaces in total.
There are so many choices and all so nice, I have not even included other stones or design.
One more point to note, I prefer classic and simple look.

Do you guys think having the 10 motif guilloche necklace and the guilloche single pendant is too much of the same thing? I would wear them on different days and I love how classic but also striking the guilloche is. My close friends have commented that it’s too much guilloche but I love that the all gold is carefree. I’m not sure I could deal with a stone as I like to keep my jewelry on most of the time especially for casual pieces like a single pendant

If you love guilloche that much, then go for it! I like to have some variety in my collection and pieces that make sense to wear together, so I would get the pg pave pendant or another pendant in order to not have 2 necklaces with the same motifs. That being said, if you aren’t interested in stones or hammered gold and you want two different guilloche looks, then it’s a great option! Guilloche is so beautiful!

Will you sleep in your guilloche necklaces? It would be interesting to see if any others here wear guilloche necklaces around the clock and if they’ve noticed any scratching from that. Guilloche is not as carefree as the hammered motifs because it can be noticeably scratched.

Yes, I would love to hear others' experiences on how guilloche holds up to daily wear! I recently returned a mother-of-pearl alhambra pendant because I wanted something I could wear daily without worrying about, and I loved the guilloche but the salesperson strongly advised against it. She said if I was worried about having to be careful with the MOP, I'd have the same issue with the guilloche because it shows scratches and dings easily and is difficult/impossible to fix. She was really pushing the hammered one instead, but I have a soft spot for the guilloche! I don't think a pendant would be as prone to getting bumped or scratched as, say, a ring or bracelet (especially if I'm not wearing it to bed or in the shower), but maybe I'm mistaken?

If you’re not wearing it in bed or in the shower then you should be fine. Will you stack it? I wear my guilloche bracelet often (not stacked) and sometimes even to bed. I don’t have scratches on it from regular wear.

It is probably more delicate than MOP though. I’m not as careful with my gmop but all of my pieces still look new.

Thanks so much for the reply! Wow, more delicate than MOP? I was hoping the salesperson was wrong, haha. I wouldn't stack it and definitely wouldn't sleep or shower in it, but I was hoping that the gold would require less careful handling than stone or MOP. I like being able to wear and put on/take off my jewelry without thinking too much about it. But I love the look of the guilloche!

Good reminder about this @Rhl2987! I was definitely hoping to wear the guilloche pendant through sleep and showering and other fun activities but I maybe should wait to hear from pendant owners down the line.

The pave was on my mind but it’s super expensive compared to the guilloche and comes to a little more than double the guilloche. I think for that increase in price I would choose another VCA piece but I can’t decide which. It’s fun to think about for future purchases

It might be able to handle sleep and showering! I just haven’t done those activities with it on regularly enough to say for sure. I think if you don’t bang the piece into anything it really should be fine for daily wear! Guilloche is a favorite of mine.
