Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, and yes, please sway away! I love hearing other's opinions, so thank you! After hearing your love for the oynx pave bracelet, I will give it a look. I actually tried on the oynx pave 20 motif, but I didn't love it. I know... horrors... it's pave, what's not to love? I wanted a bold 20 all stone necklace, not a "stone & diamond" necklace, and when I tried the 20 oynx pave, I felt the diamond motifs took away from the "all stone" bold look and the diamonds faded into the background. So, I thought for sure it would be an oynx set. Then I saw the post here about WG GMOP! Now I see all your goodies and the oynx pave bracelet! You make a really good point about the bracelet. And actually, I am all about wearing a big ring and a long necklace. Because of that, I was actually thinking an all oynx bracelet might be a bit simple next to a big ring. Your oynx pave bracelet idea might be the answer to bridge the wrist and finger together.

Now... the killer thought... I saw a photo of a girl wearing an all oynx 20, with two bracelets, one all oynx and the other the onyx pave! Your bracelet! She is wearing the Lotus ring which I also have, and I thought it looked really nice together. I will definitely try your suggestion and look at the oynx pave bracelet. I did not even try it it on before as I had already dismissed the 20 oynx pave, so I was not even interested. But I will surely try it on the next time I get to a boutique (I need to fly to a boutique hence I need to plan my visits).

Okay.. time to share some photos...

Since there is so much interest in this thread about oynx, oynx pave, pandas, I thought I would post several photos here from other threads to tie them all together to make it easier to stare

I hope this might help some of you who are in the same dilemma / debate on what to special order next.
I love this forum... you and everyone have been so helpful in sharing your thoughts and opinions. Thank you and everyone here!

Oh, @jenaywins I posted the panda-on-a-chain photo for you! :biggrin: I love this little guy hanging on an all oynx chain.

The first photo is me trying on the 20 motif oynx / pave. My thought is the diamond motifs fade into the background against the oynx and do not pop. The panda-on-chain photos are tankertoad’s all oynx 20 motif. To me, wow, the all onyx necklace really pops! Last photo I don’t know the source to give credit to but I love the two bracelets.

Just one more thing to think about - I loooooove GMOP and it's fine on me, but its not my best stone. That's why I'm ordering PG Onyx (20 motif all onyx, 3 motif earrings with the middle motif pave, 5 motif alternating pave). I don't disagree with the all-stone version being bolder, but for me it's also a huge price difference ($15k or $60K???), but that's also why I would do the alternating bracelet (and it would look so good attached to the 20 worn doubled with the alternating part up front at my neck and the rest of the motifs worn long). I like the way both look, but I have the alternating 10 (and with the Guilloche it's just different kinds of sparkly). With all this said I looooove @jenaywins ' pieces, they are absolutely stunning and if gmop works on you, you should go for it!!!

Also I've in zoomed on that last photo and the alternating bracelet is not onyx. It's a blue stone, lapis or porcelain. Gorgeous either way!

Those are really great points. I'm glad to hear your thoughts on GMOP. My hair is not pink like yours, my hair is tinted purple, so a bit similar. Perhaps GMOP will not be my best stone as well. Isee you also ordered an alternating oynx pave bracelet! I think I might need to get on the alternating bandwagon. I'm planning a trip in a few weeks and I hope to see a GMOP piece for comparison, but I am definitely leaning toward the oynx.

I really appreciate your thoughts! I can't wait to see your RG set Wow... RG and oynx is stunning, and from a clothing perspective, I love pale pink with black... feminine, yet bold. I think your RG oynx set will be the same... just stunning. Did they give you an estimate date? 6 months? I was quoted 6 months to get an oynx set. You may get yours sooner.

I havent heard back yet because some of these aren't on the regular list but my SA has assured me it will happen. I don't mind waiting, hoping to convince DH to make this my birthday present next year (it's a big one). This is why I tried on both sets of the two motif earrings a few weeks ago - WG not great near my face but the GMOP is kind of blah on me...Ive been so tempted many times, but I know I want things just so.

Good idea about the onyx and PG combo. I'm intrigued...

My SO RG GMOP finally came after 5 months. I wish they made more stone options in RG. I now need to SO the onyx rg combination so it will be here by Christmas
