Was the bracelet they offered you a MTO item that another client rejected or was it made specifically for you?

It may be SA dependent, but I lean no. Best thing to do is ask your SA and worse comes to worse they’ll say no, but hopefully they say yes!
Would you rather have a chalcedony bracelet alternating with guilloche or diamond? I mean obviously diamonds are stunning but they make the piece slightly more formal, right?
Ive considered ordering one of these for a while and honestly cannot decide which I like more.
Part of me feels for a necklace the diamonds stand out more and are more striking, i.e. in a 10 motif combination whereas the bracelets there’s less of a focus so it matters less?

Oh wow those are absolutely beautiful and such a difficult choice!
I feel like the pave looks a bit softer, I'm not sure if it's the lighting or just the pave look. Maybe a bit too soft?
The guilloche is very bright but almost a hint too cold/harsh. But on the other hand it's so clean and crisp.
Really you can't go wrong with either & please come show us what you end up getting!
I have admired both of these configurations on IG. I had not considered the chalcedony guilloche until I saw them posted and really find them stunning. VCA pave is subtle “if you know, you know”, but I can’t really tell I am wearing diamonds unless I look very closely (especially when they flip). The guilloche is more shiny/statement and both sides are reflective vs one side on the pave. I really love the 2 motif earrings with guilloche, and since you can wear heavier earrings and like 2 and 3 motifs I would consider ordering the earrings as part of your set. The chalcedony guilloche is casual, fun and pretty, while the chalcedony pave is softer and perhaps more appropriate for office wear. I don’t think I would wear chalcedony guilloche to work, but I would definitely wear it everywhere else style-wise. Perhaps pave is lower maintenance for a bracelet compared to guilloche as well (no worries about scratches), though I find my WG pave tends to get dull in the diamond areas unless I clean it somewhat frequently.
I was looking for a bracelet in YG which would match to my MOP WG but could not find anything and then my SA proposed she would check on the MTO list what could be an option. I asked for GMOP in YG and it turned out they had one in the boutique (so probably someone rejected). But now I would really like to have a matching pendant…I will wait a bit and try my luck again
I had heard that for SOs VCA is more inclined to grant requests when it allows the client to complete their set. Make sure you phrase it in this way when you ask your SA — even if your SA says a pre-spend is required, see if they can submit the request anyway on the basis of completing the set. Even if VCA says no, it’s nothing personal!
Do you have any suggestions which pendant would match with the bracelets? I also have MOP WG Vintage earrings but wanted to add sth in YG (I would anyway not wear a pendant and earrings together)
Diamond for sure. Don’t love the guilloche with the striations on the chalcedony.
I like the GMOP with YG and I think this is the 1st we have seen it here. We've seen the original with RG and some members have it in WG. As other members have commented, I would approach your SA and gently ask for the pendant to complete the set.
If it was me, I’d do neither and do it with vintage hammered. The diamond in WG on the bracelet are honestly lots of money for not much, bc they flip and are so close in color to the WG, they don’t show. The Guilloche is too much for the soft chalcedony. Hammered I think would be the perfect combo. Good luck deciding.

Wow beautiful options!! I would go with the diamond option (or hammered, as Marbella said), I feel it suits chalcedony better.
You lucked out and were able to secure a mto piece that someone else ordered and then declined. You need a minimum spend of 85k to place MTO or SO request. Also you will have better luck trying a 10/20 motif request to complete the set or earring request imo vs single pendantI was looking for a bracelet in YG which would match to my MOP WG but could not find anything and then my SA proposed she would check on the MTO list what could be an option.
