This is beautiful! Each GMOP piece is so unique and gorgeous! I am so glad you love 20s; I love long necklaces too; they just pop, especially a 20 Alhambra. Congratulations again! Matching earrings next? I think that would be so gorgeous. :biggrin: :heart:

Thank you! I am actually kicking myself for not order matching earrings at the same time. I worry when I order earrings separately the colour/tone/lustre of earring stones and 20 stones not matching well. My SA also has mentioned this issue on ordering earrings separately. She said she never suggested the idea of earrings as she knows I am not huge on earrings. I have only two pairs of earrings which I don’t wear so much. This is only because I wear them as clips as one pierced hole has closed up after not wearing earrings for a while and I fear of loosing them while wearing. If I end up not ordering matching earrings, I am also contemplating the idea of getting GMOP/pave 5 motif and RG pave earrings to make three as set. Do you think they will go together?

I would definitely do pave rg earrings. If you stick with rg pieces they will go with everything and avoid having 100 pairs of earrings. I am not a matchy person but love the pave earrings with stone necklaces and adding in alternating bracelet will tie together set so well.

Now I really want to try on RG pave earrings and GMOP/pave 5 motif together with GMOP 20. This also means I will most likely go for RG hammered as my next 20 as pave earrings can be worn with both 20’s. Brilliant!

Yes, they will go great together. For me though, I love the matching earrings on a 20. There is something so beautiful to me as a long strand of 20s. The eye just pops when it sees the necklace. Then the eye keeps moving up and see matching earrings... it's such a beautiful flow to frame the face. It's such a gorgeous pop of color.

I would recommend the next time you go to the boutique, try on a YG MOP 20 and matching YG MOP earrings. You will see in an instant what I mean by the matching set. You will either fall in love or not... you'll know in 5 seconds. For me, I would never get a 20 without the earrings (I hear VCA will no longer do blue agate earrings, so blue agate is now off my list). I could live without matching bracelets, but the 20 , I need the earrings to create that flow and pop around my face.

The RG pave earrings are of course lovely, but I personally feel the striking dark GMOP will be the star, and those pave earrings will take a back seat. The reason is because there is so little diamonds in those earrings, it's mainly metal. Yes, you will see them, but when competing against GMOP, GMOP will win always... the eye will always goes to the GMOP as it is so intense and striking.

You can also try an oynx set as a test and YG pave earrings. The eye will always go to the oynx because of the intensity. A stone is about the color pop. A diamond is about the white bling. These are two very different statements; it's what you want. For me for a 20, I want the pop of a stone statement. I do bling with other diamond pieces.

Your suggested pave 5 motif and earrings are lovely as well if you want some diamonds. For me, I prefer the purity of all stones for a stronger pop of color. That's just my two cents. It's all preference, and it's really what look you want. All VCA is gorgeous, and you will have a great 3-piece set! Hope that helps.

Just picked up RG GMOP 20 motif yesterday after waiting for 9 long months! Haven’t had a chance to take a photo myself yet but adding the photo my SA sent to inform me it’s ready. This is my first 20 motif and already loving it so much that I am planning my next 20 motif.

Had to come here and admire this beauty again! Love the subtle glow of onyx combined with RG. It’s softer, more feminine and more romantic in my humble opinion.

Thank you sweetie! :hugs:

This is stunning! And yes, it is a much softer look than YG or WG, more feminine... gorgeous. Your necklace is really beautiful.
I prefer this over letterwood. I love wearing pale pink and white together in the summer, and this necklace is perfect. It is not too harsh at all, but rather, is creates a nice pop. So for something crispy summer, visualize... something pale pink on top, white bottom, and add a splash of black to tie it together... the new Chanel black quilted slides that are selling like hotcakes (hint: get them now)? :biggrin::heart: I love mine, and I can totally see you in them with your romantic summer dresses (I do the shorts thing and it works fine too).

Did you get other matching RG oynx pieces to go with it? It will be fabulous if it's a matchy matchy set.
Or, knowing you, you went rogue and SO-d contrasting pieces to show your creative side. :nuts:

This combo just gave me an idea for Cosmo BTF lovers... I think a Cosmos RG oynx pave BTF ring would be stunning with this. I've seen the Cosmos RG WMOP pave BTF ring, and it's gorgeous. The oynx will make it a more striking ring for those who like bold ring. It will also soften that bezel in Cosmos (that annoying-to-me thick bezel which I've posted about). With RG though, the bezel will highlight the RG which is the point of that bezel, to highlight the metal. That will be a gorgeous combo. Do you like BTF rings? This would be gorgeous would your 20.

Congratulations on such a gorgeous piece. I am so happy for you!

Ah, I’m so glad that you agree with me. Thank you thank you THANK YOU!!! I had a feeling the PG would soften the harshness of onyx and I was relieved to be right about that. The letterwood was definitely softer, but not the same - I needed more of a pop (but not too much).

For me this is totally a year round piece - remember I always have soft pink going with it because of my hair. I do like the idea of the slides (I’ll definitely check them out) but I also have four neutral pair of Orans, which is a shoe I wear all summer. One is PG, and two are black (one is the older subtle sparkly black and the other is the new H outline in a silver sparkle with is much more sparkly).

My style is transitioning just a bit - I’m still doing a lot of Zimmermann for dinner but also a lot more simple or edgy, crisp tailoring, etc. And for summer I am frequently navy/white/nautical, a style cue I got from both of my parents. I don’t like my upper legs, so shorts are pretty rare for me.

The other pieces I ordered were the matching 3-motif earrings and 5-motif bracelet, both alternating with pave. I am tempted to eventually add something in PG/MOP too. Or maybe, eventually, the WG/Onyx, but that would be far down the road.

I do like BTF rings, but that Noeud is the highest ring on my list. I have that two-part pg/wg love and it’s a great coordinating piece.

So gorgeous!!! I absolutely love onyx in pg! Wish my coloring worked with it! VCA really needs to offer onyx in all three metals. It’s the one stone that looks fabulous in all three!!

Can’t wait to see the whole set!!!

Thank you! Yes, I agree! I am really suprised they dont offer onyx or wmop in pg (yes, I am considering ordering some pg/wmop too! :graucho: )

Love how you styled it, just peaking out between the collar. So dramatic against your fair coloring yet not at all harsh because of the RG. This is just stunning. And I love it with the pave frivole because it’s like they aren’t meant to match but there is still a harmony about the whole look. And under that cool casual shirt. Ugh. Perfection. An example of how VCA is meant to be worn.
