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, 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 :smile:

Look forward to seeing your SO soon!

Thank you so much for these photos!
Okay... I did not love the GMOP when I saw it with the YG, but I really love the GMOP with WG.
I think your bracelet pops against the WG, and it's got that nice iridescence which softens it up a bit.

Next time I go to the boutique, I want to ask to see the WG 16 motif. It has a couple of GMOP motifs, and all I need is to see one GMOP against WG in person. If the GMOP WG is as dark in your photos as it is in real life, I would love it. Plus, I love that it's "pearl". I'm a pearl girl, and mentally, I like that it's in the pearl family. Feels more elegant than oynx which unfortunately, keeps reminding me of those oynx signet rings years ago. I think I am leaning toward GMOP now. I had never even considered this stone until I stumbled on your post. Thank you!

Your bracelet is really stunning on you. I am truly loving it. Congratulations.

You are very welcome ~ I am so happy to know that my pics made you consider gmop with wg :biggrin: Thank you so much for your compliment!

And yes, it's better to see the comb in person. Would love to hear further updates from you later :)

Hi there. :) I asked my SA to place a SO for a perlee pearls of gold bracelet XS on April 26th and we still haven't heard back from VCA Paris on whether they will approve the request or not. Is this normal to wait this long for initial approval? The wait is driving me nuts. Txs!

Sorry if I misunderstand but don't they make the Perlee Pearls of Gold bracelet in xs? There is availability in YG, WG and RG in size XS online at the moment. Or did you mean size S as I know they don't make that one as a standard size.

Apologies for the confusion! Didn't have my coffee yet. lol. ;) Yes, I def meant Small. Txs!

Gotcha! Aww, I was like "I can help her out by telling her its avail online!" but boo that its not the size you need. I think it should be approved, I know others have looked into it as well and I believe it was confirmed (but don't quote me). Good luck:heart: I hope you hear soon.

Hi there, are you looking for yellow gold? I just returned one in XS this past Monday and SO the small.
It was at the south coast plaza boutique. You can give them a call if that's the one =) Hope they still have it, good luck!

What was the difference between XS and S?

Hi there! I mistyped in my original post, but I put in a SO for a size small in WG for the perlee pearls of gold bracelet. Other than the obvious size difference between the 2 bracelets (which I'm assuming you're not asking about), the XS is offered as a standard offering by VCA, but the S for some reason is not. If you go the VCA website and pull up this bracelet, you will notice that the size small is not offered; Only XS, M and L are available. However, if you pull up the perlee clover bracelet, you will notice that a size small is available. For people who want to stack the 2 bracelets like myself and wear a size small in the clover bracelet, I needed to special order the pearls of gold bracelet in a small.
