Nice! You must be the lucky lady my SA was telling me about. He said, "You'll never believe this, but I had someone order the exact combo just yesterday!"


I've been waiting for about a month now on Sweet Onyx/WG approval. I've never had Paris take this long. Usually it's a week, tops.

Yes that was me lol. I told him I have to have it to complete my rg Alhambra stack. This way I know it will be coming. I wonder when yours will get approved

Thanks! The earrings to go with my Magic wg/onyx earrings and 5th Ave pendant. The earrings were approved the same day, of course. Not sure why Sweet size aren't in the book. My SA is pretty great at getting things approved outside of Sèvres pieces. What are you waiting word on?

Want a carnelian and WG bracelet. I had it approved several years ago but turned it down because another piece took priority. Hope they won't say no...

By the way, I ordered the little panda guy. I did not want to wait until I decided whether I wanted oynx or GMOP because regardless of what stone set I choose next, I want the little panda! :nuts:

For now, I'll hang the little guy on my WG MOP 20.

Hi BigAkoya! I don't know if you're still interested in GMOP, but in case you are, I thought I would share these photos. I was in the boutique the other day and my SA saved a pair of Magic GMOP earrings for me. I think someone SO'ed it a while back and decided not to take it so she saved it for me to take a look. What does everyone think? Photos taken under different lighting. Txs.

These are even more gorgeous in person, but...I have one thing that sort of bothers me. On one of the motifs, there are 2 small light white marks almost like reverse commas on the lefthand side of the clover. Do you guys think it's some sort of scrape, damage or just part of the natural material? It's very obvious under certain lighting. Txs!

HI! Thank you so much for sharing this. I was able to go to the boutique last week and compare WG GMOP and WG oynx. I will most likely go with oynx.

If you like these WG GMOP, get them! I would not let the commas bother me. They look natural because a scrape would typically be a straighter line, not curved asymetrical like that. Plus, you would be able to feel a scrape. You can touch the MOP to see if it's still smooth on top or rough (e.g. scraped). My guess is it's probably part of the natural characteristic of the MOP. I am sure I can find flaw in all my MOPs, but that's also the beauty of MOPs. MOPs are all natural, and each piece is unique.

Grab them if you like WG GMOP! You are lucky you don't have to wait also! Woo hoo! I'm so happy your SA showed them to you!

Excellent! Glad you were able to make it to the boutique and make a decision. Good points on the scrape and MOP. Thanks again for all of your advice and wisdom! :)

If you are a WG person and love GMOP, I would go for it too. There is enough natural variation in MOP that the commas don’t bother me. You don’t need to get approval and you don’t need to wait. But it depends on you…

chromemilou, I did this exact earring as an SO several years ago. They are a very elegant combination and I wear them often-
they offer good presence on the ear but are subtle and they mix beautifully with my other wg pieces. I like this combo so such I am considering doing a 20 in it.

Do you think the commas will bother you over time ?
I’m pretty picky myself and it would be a tough call for me, personally. You need to be 100% thrilled and satisfied. Do they make your heart beat faster as snowball so astutely described it?
I sense you aren’t quite sure?
