It was weird COVID timing. By the time it arrived, my style had changed. I have a similar issue with a coat I bought which I’m now having reworked. How did I not notice before purchasing the coat that it screamed the style of (for you oldies out there). Ed Norton??!? Literally the same shape. Ugh.

Tbh I *don’t know why* I don’t wear it. I mean, it’s beautiful. If I’m gonna sell it I should know why. Ugh, I don’t know what to do…

It’s a gorgeous necklace but it isn’t as complementary to you as PG. with your other pieces, I can see why you don’t reach for this one as much. I would sell it esp if you aren’t taking a loss. Free up funds for something you want to wear.

I just realized that I promised to at least add a photo of the earrings so I can crop out my house clothes, but then I totally forgot! Let me add a picture now. I am holding them to my ear because I am wearing continuous hoops that are a little struggle to get off, but you get the idea! :heart: We are going to Maui in a couple of days so I will have the chance to take some photos of the WG GMOP set in action if I take them with me.

Seriously stunning @nicole0612 the earrings look bomb on you and the ‘basic’ SO pieces are what I call divine! Many congrats girl!

The fact that you designed the ring makes it even more amazing! I feel the same way about vintage pieces and personally am not knowledgeable or confident enough to know how to buy them well but have always admired the romanticism and the looks of older pieces too. Since yours was designed by selecting the stones yourselves no wonder it’s even more white and sparkly too!! It’s gorgeous, just like your style and suits you perfectly! Enjoy your vacation with all your new beauties :hugs:

Thank you! I love the romanticism and intricate handmade design of vintage pieces, but the stone quality and the wear and tear over time make finding the perfect piece like a needle in a haystack. I was lucky to get recommendations from a member in this group for a few jewelers who do custom projects and it worked out well, though it was actually a lot of work to make all of the approvals and changes to the design along the way. Decision paralysis sets in! The main stones all have sentimental value to me, so it makes the piece even more meaningful :heart:

Agreed on your first two points, I just need to see the WG 3 motif first….

I love love love my 20. I never wear my pave/guilloche 10 and am in the process of letting it go. I guess its not enough pop *or* bling - it‘s just not enough and kind of disappears on me. I loved the 20 version when I tried it on, and that would have been better, but both the short length + the YG combo isn’t doing much for me.

Blingy long necklace would be fine on me. Fine with formal, too. TBH I’m good with bling *everywhere* lol. The thing I have the least of is rings; Id love to have tons of earrings but not dying for more than a few rings. The Noeud is definitely it for that, and I wouldn’t add another ring for a while (which would probably be a WG piece)

I’m actually considering the 6 motif pave WG as well.…hmmm….

I can definitely see you with the pave 6 motif necklace. Remind me if you already have one of the pendant magic pave necklaces? If so, in what color? I think this is a great staple piece as well and can be layered with other pieces for a more statement look, but also seems easier to pair with earrings for everyday wear compared to the 6 motif. Though I can also see you wearing the 6 motif pave with single motif pave earrings, but may be too chaotic with the 3 motif earrings. It is so hard to coordinate metal colors when choosing pieces to have the ideal ability to mix and match.

GMOP is absolutely gorgeous in wg! I actually bought a SO pg and GMOP because the GMOP was so gorgeous, but the pg sadly is just not good on me, so I sold it to a friend who looks great in pg. VCA is so frustrating because GMOP in white gold shouldn't be a SO! The chalcedony Magic earrings are so beautiful, too! Congrats on these beautiful pieces! (I love the ring, too, as you might expect!)

Thank you! I agree about GMOP, the GMOP in WG was one of the first pieces that sent me back to buying VCA WG after a long break. I have GMOP in RG as well, and while it is stunning, it is almost too neutral against my skin tone. I love how GMOP in WG is silvery with oil-slick rainbow shades vs more neutral colors. GMOP in PG looks amazing for most people, but I think my skin is just too fair and pink, so I look better with cooler tones. Thank you also for your advice when I decided to design the ring! :heart:

Is it an SO? I thought a saw quite a few pieces in NY, but now I’m not so sure

It is for most pieces, but the multi-color magic pieces come in WG with some GMOP motifs, as well as some non-alhambra pieces such as the butterfly pin in WG GMOP. The only regular line all-GMOP alhambra options that I know of are the alternating pave 5 motif and 20 motif, vintage pendant necklace and the magic necklace, though it can be MTO in most standard combos.

@Notorious Pink I’m sure you have seen @eternallove4bag’s gorgeous alternating PG guilloche and pave bracelet; do you think this color combo is more “you”? I think it is stunning. Having had both PG guilloche and YG guilloche, PG guilloche is much shinier and pops more, while still being warm and feminine. It definitely reads as pink to me. Otherwise you could do the alternating onyx and pave RG 20 motif you mentioned. Since most boutiques are offering pave SO with only a metal change for no/minimal SO markup, either of these options should not be too painful depending on which you decide on.

Yes, I’ve seen it, and it’s gorgeous. I just don’t want to find myself in the situation I’m currently in (is it a “chain”? Not enough pop for me?). As for my options, I’m down to PG 20 pave alternating with either guilloche, hammered, gmop (and hopefully I can at least see that in person) or onyx. I could see myself wanting to layer the 20s as an option, which I don’t think would be a great idea with guilloche, though.
