Ah! I had no idea. I have not been paying attention. Thanks for clarifying.Thank you! It was a 20th anniversary gift so yeah, I'm keeping him
Agree 1000%
Thank you!!!
It's a 10 motif. This is only available in the 5 motif and the 20 motif.
Hi! Love your WG MOP! When I first saw it, I liked it, but now, I think I am loving it!My gmop wg bracelet just arrived after being shortened. I have posted pics in another thread earlier, but I think it deserves some more pics, lol

I had my SA price a SO for a WG black oynx set (earrings, 20 motif, bracelet), but I did not order as I was thinking of mixing it with Cosmos black oynx as well. However, I am now thinking black oynx may be too harsh, especially against the face.
So... plan B... WG with GMOP just like yours! May I ask if it's possible to do a mod shot against skin? Also do you happen to have the WG MOP? If yes, is it possible to put the MOP and GMOP side by side? I am worried it might look too similar and the GMOP may not be bold enough. Your photos look great though as sometimes it seems the GMOP motif looks almost black but still iridescent which I love.
I already have the SO pricing for the black oynx set, so I would imagine the pricing for GMOP is similar.
Thanks so much! Beautiful bracelet!

Dear BigAkoya. While I know your question was addressed to candeyige (and I don't mean to high-jack your question), I thought I'd post some photos I took of the 20-motif Alhambra in WMOP/YG & GMOP/YG. While I know you're interested in white gold, this might give you an idea of contrast. The third photo is black onyx/YG with the GMOP/YG. IMHO the GMOP offers a subtle, but perceptible difference. The fourth photo is black onyx/YG with the WMOP/YG. This gives you the full range of colors and may help to illustrate the depth and subtlety of the GMOP.
The biggest pop, and drama, will be with the WG/onyx. I don't think it's harsh at all--I think it's a gorgeous combination, but the issue is how you feel about it. And since you're already questioning it (and who wouldn't with a SO) it may not be the right choice, at least for now. Another consideration is whether the GMOP will be flattering with your skin tone . . . My SA mentioned that not everyone can wear it; if you have a lot of yellow in your skin-tone, it can look very drab against the face . . . For that reason she also did not recommend the WMOP/WG.

Thank you so much! I should have known you have every stone ever made... you have the entire collection!
May I please ask for another photo? I plan to wear it sometimes stacked with my WG MOP 20. Is it possible to do a photo shot of MOP next to the oynx? I know the YG MOP has more of a yellow/pink overtone, and the WG MOP has more of a silver overtone, but I just want to visualize how much it would contrast.
Looking at your first photo, the YG MOP does not contrast as much as I expected against the YG GMOP. It reminds me of when I tried on the WG Chalcedony... it did not have enough contrast for me. Which by the way, is the downside to WG MOP. It is not a white pearly shade; it is more a silver gray.
Hmm... maybe I am back to square one with the oynx as my best bet.
Thank you so much for taking these pictures. I really appreciate it.

Hi-I edited and added the YG WMOP/Onyx to my prior listing, but here it is again. I think it's a beautiful combination, and as you know, I love the WG/onyx--I think it's very elegant. The GMOP is subtle. But why be subtle?
My SA remarked, as do you, that the WG/WMOP tends to go to gray and isn't very flattering. But I think that the onyx/WG and WMOP/WG worn together would be dynamite! One would lift the other.
Please keep us posted on what you decide. These are the happy dilemmas.
Wow... it IS beautiful! And so contrast-y with a big pop which I like. I am going to save your photos so I can stare at them. I just showed my husband these photos, and he likes the oynx more than the GMOP too. Actually, his first reaction was "why don't you get that blue stone you showed me earlier" (e.g. blue agate... he calls the stones by their primary colors). I told him "because the SA said that 'blue stone' isn't offered in white gold"
I think next time I visit VCA, I will ask to also see the WG 16 motif. Then I can see in person a gray MOP against WG. I just realize that necklace has a WG GMOP motif, so then I'll know for sure.
Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions. Yes... happy dilemmas!

Can you do a SO of WG/Agate? Here's a little (more) eye-candy. I LOVE this blue . . .
Included is a third photo showing the agate next to my lapis beads which are a darker blue. Of course, there's lots of shades in the blue agate--it even runs to periwinkle. Imagine that with WG!
Our posts crossed-paths, but this is the "blue stone" I mentioned in my earlier post above to you.
I love blue agate! And yes, I love the lighter blue agate shade!
I already asked if I could SO a set in WG. The answer was no... "VCA does not offer blue agate in WG". I even told the SA I don't want the coveted dark blue motifs, you can save them for the YG necklaces. I just want the lighter blue agate motifs! Still, the answer was no!
I am really hoping once the RG crazy dies down, which it will, VCA will start to offer more in WG again.
I love your pieces! You have an amazing collection!

When did you get this info on WG BA? Still waiting to hear back. I’m wondering if they are not producing enough or maybe it’s coming out soon enough ...
About six weeks ago. I hope it’s coming out later. The SA said it is not offered in WG at the current time. This was a slightly different answer when I asked for a SO of turquoise, and his response was that turquoise is no longer made in Vintage Alhambra, and the best bet if I really wanted a set was to look at vintage pieces. On blue agate in WG, you never know. Maybe next spring after rose gold craze has faded. I am sure the WG craze will come back.

Hi all.....just wanted to share that i tried to SO 5 motif in pink opal and my request was denied. I was told it is too delicate and there are too many after care issues with pink opal so it cannot be special ordered.
Ohh thanks for the update! So good to hear the reason why as well.
We simply need more color and less high maintenance stones!
Thank you, BigAkoya!
I also like both onyx and gmop in wg. Actually the onyx wg bracket is on my wishlist as well. I can tell it's really a tough decision for you now, lol
Unfortunately I don't have any wmop pieces. I have attached two mod pics of my gmop bracelet here, hopefully they could help in your decision making
Look forward to seeing your SO soon!
