Oh this is interesting! Maybe it is the 20? but I don’t see why they would reject the whole order!!! How long did it take to hear back from Paris after the SA placed the order?

A week or two? It was fast. I bet it is the 20 motif. My SA knows I only want to buy sets, so there was no suggestion of just ordering earrings or bracelet. To be fair to him, I also did not ask as it's all or nothing for me.
I have yet to see WG BA earrings, or any BA earrings, so that might be another no. I can't wait to hear back from @jenaps to see if she got her YG BA earrings approved! I hope yes. Maybe they are opening things up.
I read recently that sales of luxury goods are beginning to see a slight decline. Sales were going through the roof a few months earlier with everyone stuck at home. With COVID beginning to fade, experiences/vacations are in demand, and that is where people are spending their money. Maybe VCA will accept more SOs as a result of this shift.
Oh I didn’t think abt that. If that’s the case I may try and put in a few more no list special orders!
Yes, do ask and perhaps you are right: maybe it is the 20 that is the issue ... I’m sure they get less requests for 20s vs other items like bracelets so you may have thrown them off guard (lol) but I think it’s worth another poke to see if they changed their minds about doing the set because it would be absolutely stunning. I was not sure I would see them as being so different (BA with yg VS BA with wg) but after seeing hers I prefer BA with wg! Fingers crossed!
That pairing sounds lovely! Need to try 20 motif in a neutral firstI think you should get the Blue Agate in Vintage size. Then, you can get the matching 20 motif in the future.
Wow... what a set! I just know you're going to love 20s! They totally rock!
I am open to variations in blue as long as it is not too light.
Hi! May I bug you again? You're my virtual boutique until I get a chance to fly to one again.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!
Is it possible to do a photo wearing black long sleeves or something? I think I am leaning toward GMOP now as a full oynx set might be too harsh, especially against the face. My set would be a 20 motif, Vintage earrings, and the bracelet. So you can see the 20 motif and earrings is a lot of black near the face. I also wear a black tops, especially in winter, hence I would like to see if the GMOP fades into a black background. I am thinking no as the WG metal will frame the MOP and still make it pop. That's what I'm hoping at least. Skintone wise, I think I am okay GMOP... makeup wise, I am a Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua B20 / La Mer 150 Natural, so kind of a light neutral?
And, one more request, pretty please... is it possible to take a photo of it against white so I can see how dark the grey is?
Your photos have got me really thinking about GMOP.
I have been googling, and I am really beginning to love the iridescense too. After going to the boutique a month ago to compare oynx vs. chalcedony, I was sure it would be oynx. GMOP is a completely new thought since seeing your bracelet, and unfortunately, I did not even bother to check out WG GMOP pieces when I was at the boutique.
I would really appreciate it if you would not mind taking some photos. Thank you!
These are stunning! I never would have guessed how much the white gold would change the look in this variation. Congratulations.Got these from VCA NAC, Singapore. Beyond love...Makes me gasp everytime I see it...Perfection in my eyes

No worries at all! I'm not good at taking photos, especially for this chameleon. But I have tried my best to capture the colors from different angles. Btw, I used the white box as the white background, lol. Hope those pics help. A minor issue to mention here: although I don't wear the bracelet often, and maintain it well, I do notice that it gets foggy slightly. Maybe it's sth worth considering in ur decision making?

So beautiful! I love the GMOP in white gold! I have the wg onyx pave, though, so I am considering trying the gmop in pink gold if they'd make the 5 motif with all GMOP!
I think you should get the onyx set. I love grey mop but I think onyx with wg would go so well with your other pieces - pave and pearls, white mop. I find the grey mop with wg looks more cool soft tones and the wg looks more brushed. Whereas onyx wg is more crisp and I see it going better with your other wg diamond pieces.Hi!

Thank you so much for taking the time to take photos.
OMG! It is so beautiful. It still pops against black, yet it is softer against white vs. oynx! I love love love the iridescense. I saved every photo so I could stare. Simply stunning!
I don't mind the fog at all. My husband says I am hard on my jewelry (which I admit I am), and I have had to send in pieces for repair, so I'm not the super picky inspect-every-inch kind of gal. I am sure I will be fine with GMOP. The beauty of your bracelet far outweighs any maintenance issue.
I have to invite my GMOP buddy to see your photos... @chromemilou .... where are you? Look at her bracelet and the beautiful iridescent color!
Thank you again SO much for these photos! Your bracelet is simply stunning. By the way, I am sure others would love to see these photos in the VCA In Action thread (I think this SO thread has limited viewers). There is a lot of talk now about GMOP, and you have the perfect bracelet for show and tell!
Words of wisdom from you! Your point on the crispness is exactly what I worry about, but with crispness comes harshness. The next time I go, I need to find something WG oynx and something WG GMOP to position them next to my WG MOP. I think once I see them together, I'll get this over with, and decide. Too much drama over a necklace set.
I'm shooting myself for not even looking at any GMOP last time I was there. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
I forgot you have the beautiful oynx and pave bracelet. Where has it been hiding?
Oynx and GMOP are the talk of the town these days. Have we had the pleasure of seeing your lovely Magic oynx pendant and onyx/pave bracelet set as a mod shot?
