I would actually love to SO gold MOP Vintage earrings so maybe this post is on topic. :lol: Has anyone tried?

If I can’t I may get large M pearl golden studs.

I knew it! I love M pearls! Your collection is fabulous.
By the way, on the M charm, the new position of the strands is further down. The M charm on my older strands were in the "3rd pearl" position, the same as in your photos. The new position is further down and ends up more near the collarbone which I like.

How did I get it moved?
When I sent my strands in to have them cleaned and restrung, I asked Mikimoto to also place the M charm in the new position, which they did. Just a thought if you might want to do that also. It was easy.

The M charm on the bracelets remain the same, so I kept my bracelets as-is when I sent them in to get cleaned/restrung.

You know me... I love love love M pearls, more so than VCA (I know, heresy here on this VCA forum!)

I vote jumbo M Golden South Sea studs. They will look fabulous on your ears, match your necklace, and best of all, make your face glow with iridesence like the sun! Since you have YG VCA pieces, the pearls would also look great with them.

Beautiful. I purchased some of the trays late last year for my dresser and got a box for safe. The quality is nice and love being able to see my things at once for picking jewels for the day.

Yes it’s nice and sturdy! Much better than what I had! I love just looking at everything.

oh I didn’t even know they moved it!!! You’re such a wealth of knowledge!

Yes I may just get the pearls, I’ve been thinking abt it for quite some time… a VCA SO would be cheaper though!!

How different of a look is the 5 motif wmop in RG vs YG? In person the WG makes the wmop almost look like a light cloudy grey. YG it varies depending on the piece. So I would guess RG also has a different effect on the wmop.
Ive never seen an RG 5 motif wmop in person (definitely in photos).

I would probably wear this on its own, or with my rg perlee clover bangle + rg perlee d’or bangle. The only other 5 motifs that I have in RG are the gmop/pave and carnelian/guilloche.

Ive also considered getting an MTO RG onyx 5 motif and selling my YG one, but not 100% sure of that.

Has anyone been able to order the HP material for a special order in recent memory? Between, me, my sister, and my mom, we got three celadon pendants, which made me think about making a set. The color for the celadon is also very standardized.

I know porcelain has been done before for special orders. But I haven’t heard anything about the HP SOs in a looong time. Never interested before, tbh. When was the practice of HP SOs stopped? Or is it actually still available to request? I assume 5-motif rhodonite bracelet is out of the question, or else someone would have made one by now. But I feel like celadon is more feasible.

I believe the pink porcelain has been seen in a 10-motif and 5 motif, albeit without the diamond. Not sure who had it approved, if it was someone VVIP or regular folk, lol.

Its not that big of difference between the RG vs YG with MOP as it relates to difference in the hue. I personally love RG with stones as it softens the onyx.
