I LOVE guilloche with MOP. It is my favorite yg metal and stone combination. Gorgeous on you

Thank you very much!

It's very beautiful, and you are too, but it doesn't seem to pop like the MOP-in fact it's the MOP I noticed first. Understated elegance is not a bad thing. How would you be wearing it? If by itself, I'd like to see another photo without the MOP.

Thank you so much! Yes, I think that is exactly it! It seems to blend and in contrast the MOP pops and brightens I think. Then again, as you said, nothing wrong with understated elegance. Though in person it sparkles so much, not sure I can call it truly understated lol. I'll attach a few photos below. (Two in daylight, two at night). It is hard to capture the correct colors. I'm also still not sure how I'll wear it, haha. I do like it with silk and with a white button down.

awww, congrats! such a beautiful necklace combo!

in the picture, the WMOP pops more, i guess that's due to camera cannot capture Guilloche's sparkles?

Thank you! And yes, I think partially it blends with my complexion, but also you can't see the incredible sparkles in the photo.

Hi! I think the MOP glows on you and pops. I love MOP on you.
When I look at your photo, my eye goes right to the MOP. My eye doesn't really notice the guilloche until after about three seconds.

For me, if I try on something and it's not love at first sight, it's probably not good, especially if I have doubt.
My thoughts... if you want another 10 and earring set, I think oynx would be beautiful on you. Guilloche to me is nice on you, but nothing special. It looks more like a gold chain on you, and to me, it fades a bit into the background against you skin. That may be what you want, but it definitely does not pop as much as MOP. The MOP glows, and with MOP earrings next to your face.. wow... it will be so glowy and beautiful. You may already have the MOP earrings, but if not, I would get them. I would pass on the guilloche earrings; they fade into the background to me.

Truth be told, jewelry is part how it looks on you and part how much you love the piece alone. I have this one ring that my husband totally hates, but I love. I love it, and it gives me joy to stare at it. In the end, it's how much you love personally love it.

Just my two cents to give you a different point of view. Good luck on your decision.

I do have the MOP earrings and they are my favorite!! I think they brighten my complexion. I have to say I think I agree with everything you are saying. Thank you for your perspective and taking the time!!

After looking for some months now, I finally received the Guilloche 10 motif and earrings! I have it connected to my MOP 10 motif here, and am trying to decide if the gold fits or clashes with my complexion. Would love your honest opinion. I am in awe of how much it sparkles though!! TIA!!

The YG guilloche is very pretty but it blends a bit too much with your tone for my taste. I would want it to pop a bit more. For that much money I would pick something else. But if your heart loves it go for it. By itself it is a beautiful necklace.

oh I just saw the following pics. Now I see what you mean by clash.Your skin has a slightly pinkish undertone. I prefer the MOP. Or maybe RG. I wonder how that looks on you.

I think it looks STUNNING and sparkly and special on you in all of these photos, especially with the orange scarf

I think the YG neither blends completely (like RG would) nor pops starkly like WMOP. rather, it occupies a place in between, a subtle, rich, yet striking look! im so happy for you!

 

[prettychic]

BEAUTIFUL! I don't think it clashes at all!!!

I loved the pairing of the two 10 motifs! You look beautiful in both together and it will look equally as beautiful with different necklines as a backdrop...

Thank you! I actually have been wondering the same. I have a few pendants in RG (GMOP and the current Holiday pendant) but it's a little hard to tell. Perhaps this calls for a visit to the store?

Aww, thank you so much!!

Ooh, I like the way you've described that! Thank you!!

Thank you!! There is something fun about the combination! I think I'll have to play a bit more to make up my mind..

I think it's stunning. It's gorgeous, understated and fabulous and sometimes that's exactly what you need in a piece of wearable jewelry. However if, as @BigAkoya mentioned, you're having second thoughts, pay attention. The fact you need to solicit our advice, is, in and of itself, telling.

The other thing I would ask is, do you have pearls? Not the alhambra in MOP but a nice strand of gorgeous pearls. In my opinion, the YG guilloche serves the same function as a pearl necklace--a classic piece of jewelry that can take you from lunch, to the boardroom out to dinner, to a playdate or a formal occasion. On the other hand, maybe you're looking for something more dramatic that makes more of a statement? If so, I would suggest the onyx, which is a classic, or perhaps the carnelian. I think either would lovely given your skin tone.

Finally, I don't think rose gold will do you any favors (but you could try it). I say this as my skin tone is similar and anything in rose gold around my face simply vanishes. If you think the all yellow gold is subtle, I think the rose gold will be even more so. But that's why they have stores with mirrors so try, try and try.

So to recap, my questions for you are as follows: how do you plan on wearing this? Do you have other fine necklaces that are as versatile/classic as the guilloche? Do you want something that makes a statement and provides some drama, or quiet and elegant? And finally, do you love the guilloche and if you return it, would you regret it?

Please let us know what you decide.

You are so kind to take the time to think this through with me! I think my hesitation is based mostly on whether the color blends in with my complexion too much. Though I admit prior to this I've been wearing my 10 motif MOP, and so it may be the contrast from the brightness of the MOP that I'm noticing.

It's more of a treat than a piece with a specific purpose currently. Sadly with the pandemic and my type of job, there aren't many opportunities to wear this lovely necklace. I'm a cancer surgeon and I guess I worry that wearing this to work would be too "flashy" given what I do. Does that make any sense? I do think as an evening piece for special occasions (whenever that may be post pandemic?) it would be absolutely gorgeous.

So I guess it's partially a question of if it blends too much to be worth the cost given that I can't quite wear it on a daily basis, the way I can my MOP. And also that with the current pandemic, not many other chances to enjoy it.

I may just have to do what my hubby says, which is just embrace the bling and enjoy it

Thank you again so so much for helping me think through this!!

1) It does not blend too much.
2) It is not too flashy.
3) At this point, given your station in life, a classic statement piece like this is appropriate. It says you're accomplished, empowered and confident. You have graduated from starter jewelry. You have earned the right to wear these pieces every day.
Own it, and by that I don't mean buy it--by that I mean you've reached for the stars and you got there--now it's time to revel in your accomplishments.
