First of all congrats on your WG Onyx alternating it's beautiful and so bold! Really loving the contrast.

Regarding your WG MOP, if I remember correctly I think this is about the third time or so you've asked this same question on various threads and got a lot of really good feedback. Based off of this, my gut feeling says you're not in love with your WG MOP and probably want to let it go but are asking for others' opinion to find reasons to keep it. This is just my opinion of course, but I feel like if you thought the WG MOP worth keeping you probably wouldn't try to ask whether or not to keep it multiple times. I think perhaps you want to be reassured that it's a good idea to keep.

That being said, I personally would keep the WG MOP. I like stacking and the MOP and Onyx alternating are very different looks, so you can use them on different occasions as well. But ultimately I think you should think about your lifestyle and whether you would really get good use out of the MOP (by your standards of what "good use" is), or even love it so much that you wouldn't mind if it was just sitting pretty and not getting much action! There are different ways to love your jewelry whether you baby it or wear it often. Some people are totally fine with babying a piece and wearing it less and keeping it anyways because they still love it. If you're thinking you have to force yourself to wear the MOP in order to make it worth keeping, I think that's a sign you probably don't love it enough to keep.

Since your ethos is "embrace minimalism" and 'simple is best' policy as per your profile tag, if you feel like the MOP is a "burden" in your collection, I would let it go. At the end of the day only you can decide whether it's worth keeping in your collection. Jewelry shouldn't cause you burden or stress! Wear them all happily in great health :)


Thanks dear! ♡ i also love the contrast of the onyx with pave and WG so much!

Yes, you are right actually.. i guess i dont love the mop as much as when i first got it but yet now i am thinking it may be a nice stacking piece. However, i feel that the onyx pave bracelet is too stunning and "overpowers" the WG MOP bracelet when stacked. Im just not sure if its just my weird thinking.

I feel like maybe the WG MOP looks better on its own or stacked with other diamond tennis bracelets. I wouldnt mind keeping it but it is not aligning with my wanting to be minimalist and only keep what i use! ☆.☆ -this is totally a first world problem,ugh.

I still like the WG MOP on some days and will probably be able to get some wear out of it (maybe when i want a change in look down the road, now i am too obsessed with my new piece to wear anything else, goodness me).
 
I finally brought this baby home after the extension - time to rock this beauty!
It's interesting though that once I got home I checked the documents and realised that the date on the certificate and the date on the invoice are different. My SA is on leave now, so SA who served me had to prepare the package for collection. I think she overlooked the invoice and just put the collection date on the certificate.
I immediately remembered it was discussed previously on the forum. To my understanding the dates on the cert and on the final invoice have to match to avoid any possible problems in the future. I already contacted VCA about this and they promised to get back to me - still waiting.

Sharing my latest purchase. Bought the Vintage Alhambra necklace in Onyx after deliberating if i should get carnelian or guilloche (i own the 5 motif yg guilloche bracelet). I love the guilloche but thought its too gold-ish if i wear all these together as my cartier ring and love bracelet is also in yg. Going to stack it with my Tiffany’s dbty. But I am actually torn between Carnelian and Onyx hence I am not wearing this necklace yet in case i want to exchange it to Carnelian :confused1:

My wonderful SA gave me quite some goodies too.:nuts:

Thanks for letting me share:love:

I managed to get myself a pure Alhambra white mop bracelet and I'm completely in love with it.
I love the lines and how mop glows in this setting. I've been thinking about this bracelet for quite some time and I'm so delighted I found it!
I don't think I'm letting it go ever!

Finally i got my WG 5 motif alternative pave x onyx bracelet back from alteration.. but.. for some reason /due to miscomm, it came back looser than i expected..?! Maybe its fate.. i decided to try out this length, which is longer than my usual length by 1 link. (Pls pardon my casual attire, i have been home these few days! ♡☆)

I have some questions, happy to hear your views- do you layer your 5 motif bracelets on the regular? If so, do you vary the length of the bracelets so they wont overlap as much?

I am still undecided if to keep or let go of my WG MOP bracelet, i feel like lately, i am skewing towards WG more than YG.. would you keep the WG MOP if you were me? Is this a good layering combo, or should I just streamline? These are some thoughts that i have.

Hi! First congratulations on your new bracelet!
I agree with @tenshix in that you are asking us to help you justify your WG MOP. I think you need to go with your gut feel, which I think your gut says to sell.

This forum is enabling. Most of the time, and people will say keep it. We don't live your life, it's not our money, so it's easy for us to say buy it, keep it, stack it, layer it.

That said...
For me, I do not like the two bracelets worn together. I feel the beauty of each bracelet is now lost. It is now such a busy look. The eye is looking at three different motifs, each motif is different, and it's mixed in among two bracelets. To me, the look now is more like a chunky charm bracelet with a lot going... you just see a lot of "stuff", like piling on, but it's not focused. Some people love this look, so it's 100% preference.

On whether to sell your WG MOP...
I think you like pieces with diamonds. You mentioned if you kept your WG MOP, you could layer it with your diamond bracelet. I feel that's forcing it to make use of your WG MOP bracelet. Plus, I really think you like diamonds and don't like the simple plain WG MOP anymore. It's perfectly fine as our tastes change as we move through life, myself included. Selling pieces is absolutely a smart move, and it's the best way to curate your jewelry collection.

Therefore, I vote to sell the WG MOP. I think you will rarely wear it, and even if you do, it will be boring to you. You will feel the need to add another bracelet with diamonds to layer it.

Just my two cents. I hope this helps. Congrats again your new bracelet.

I think it’s perfectly common to banish an older piece when a new piece comes along. I’m a person that wears my jewelry in phases. Since I received my bangle I haven’t worn my 5 motifs and can’t see myself reaching for them for a while. I’m thinking months, maybe in winter or on the occasional day that I’m sick of looking at my bangle. But I know I still want to keep all my five motifs. They are great mood bracelets.

Congratulations on you pave and onyx bracelet. Its a truly fabulous piece and looks stunning on your wrist. Now for layering 5 Motifs…..its better to have them all the same length & slightly snug for minimal overlap.
I think your issue with the mop is that it’s not visually pairing well with onyx& pave. I think for stacking you could add another bracelet….. I would pair pave with either onyx wg or hammered wg 5 motifs. Either of these two bracelets would look lovely when paired with your existing mop.

Congrats on your beautiful onyx/pave bracelet @sassification … I agree with @BigAkoya to sell it.
Our tastes evolve constantly and it’s okay to let go of things we outgrow with time. If you like diamonds, the 5 motif will always appear too ‘plain’ in comparison. I am not a fan of stacking 5 motif bracelets together either. I do like 5 motifs on their own or stacked with a structured bracelet.
