Yesterday I placed a deposit for the white gold mother of pearl 5 motif bracelet — my second VCA piece. I compared it with the yellow gold (which was available to purchase immediately) but as soon as I compared it with white gold against my skin tone it was no contest. I have very pale/cool skin tone that white gold compliments very nicely. I feel like I’m wearing the white gold, whereas the yellow gold was wearing me, if that makes sense. The white gold bracelet will also pair very well with my white gold guilloche pendant necklace. :love:

In my boutique (in Canada) stock is extremely low, due to the pandemic and price increase in America causing a rush in sales so more stock was diverted to America rather than Canada. So I had to place a 30% deposit with a vague “a few weeks to a few months” timeline! Hopefully I don’t have to wait too long but I’m happy to wait to get something I love. I will share photos when available.

I am a WG lover too! I have the WG MOP set, including this bracelet. I think you will love it. It will go great with your guilloche pendant! I am sure you know this, but VCA can size the bracelet for you for a perfect fit.

Congratulations to you! I hope you get it soon. I do think inventory is coming back!

Wow, I bet the set looks heavenly. :love: Thank you so much. I think I must have big wrists because the bracelet was a perfect fit on me without needing alterations, so that’s convenient!

How do you find caring for mother of pearl? Do you think it holds up well over time? I don’t wear my jewelry in the shower or when I sleep (to be honest I’m one of those people who does baby their jewelry a bit) so I figured MOP would fare well with my preferences. I also don’t stack my bracelets.

You'll be fine with MOP. I'm a big pearl/MOP lover, and I am really rough with my jewelry truth be told. I wear my jewelry all the time and do not baby it. I can't sleep with jewelry on, so I do take it off at night.

Since you are more careful, you will be fine. MOP holds up really well.
I think it's a plus you did not have to shorten it! I had to shorten mine. I almost hesitated because I thought, I am now going to lose these darn extra links, but I shortened it anyway as the bracelet looked better on me shortened.

Luck you... you get to take advantage of the whole bracelet and not have to deal with leftover links! :tup:
Congrats again! Please share photos if you wish!

Thank you so much. I really appreciate you sharing your experience with MOP. It’s very helpful. I will absolutely share photos once it arrives!
