TGG, this is precisely the dilemma. I would want to mix this with my other pieces which are mostly yg. The only pg I have is the holiday pendants. Attached, I have a photo that I have saved from an auction site- not sure if it is even authentic or not but it is the closest thing I can find. The photo shows the gray MOP set in yg. I did not feel comfortable asking to take a pic of the bracelet when I was there (believe me I was thinking about it!) as it was not my SO and I didn't feel right doing it. I would have liked to have a comparison photo. In short, both are great. I think it comes down to deciding on individual skin tone. It is a brutal choice for sure! I'm still on the fence as I think pg is a great compliment to gray but yg would mix better I think especially if mixed with 10 motif VA yg. View attachment 3885568

This is exactly my situation!!
I only have the gray mop/pg pendant and perlee hoops in pg. The rest of my collection is either set in yg or pave.

I think PG will be more subtle but YG will pop more. You both have to know what you want from the necklace - PG and grey MOP sounds special [emoji7]

Well summarized Hadassa- after seeing the SO bracelet (gray w/pg) and reviewing it in my mind for a few days I am leaning toward that choice. .
I was allowed to try it on and i should have thought to hold another piece close to see how it mixed. But what I did observe is how well the gray and pg go together. Pink and grey are colors that compliment each other very well. I think you really captured it when you said the pg would be more subtle. I think it will be more elegant. And we know that the difference between VCA wg and pg is minimal which allows us to mix them sometimes. Thank you for your thoughts ladies, it helped me very much!

You’re most welcome [emoji253]

Some of us, because of our skin tone, can carry off either YG or PG equally well [emoji1360] However, with that said, if I have to pay 30% more, I will SO what makes my heart sing louder and what compliments my skin tone better.

I know this thread has been quiet for a little bit, but I'll try my luck and see what happens. I was looking into purchasing a vintage Alhambra pendant in Onyx with WG, and have been told that they are only available in the NY boutique. I am located in Australia, so would it be considered to be a SO to get one into my local boutique for me?

Thank you in advance!

I do believe it would be considered a special order (which seems silly!), and there is a premium on special orders – I believe it is 30% above the regular price for that item. Have you considered calling or emailing the New York boutique and simply asking them to ship it? Perhaps they might?
