Yay, you will have the set complete
Vca use to produce this in TQ. May have only been in wg. I would think you can only buy it in resale market these days.Sorry, it’s the lucky butterfly.

I’ve had quite a week, but tbh might have messed the name up anyway.
It’s regular stock in MOP and TE. I’m not sure but I think it was previously also WG turquoise. IIRC someone posted one on another thread recently
I’ve only seen WG. I haven’t tried buying resale and would be a little nervous but had though maybe the fact that they used to make it and it’s not much turquoise might be in my favor for an SO. I still have a hoped for SO I haven’t acted on, then my MTO GMOP 20, so quite the full wish list. Maybe by the time I get around to asking about this they’ll have brought it back into production
I’m sure not, but that’s my hope on the GMOP 20. I was excited about the pave but don’t think I’ll actually get it. I like the consistency of all the same stone on a 20. Not a 10 person, but I agree with those who think the pave GMOP would be great as a 10
Hi, where did you source your WG hammered piece. I have a 10 motif vintage piece I purchased from Betteridge.
I don't mean to answer for her, but since I have the bracelet just like hers, I will tell you that mine was VCA special order.
Thank you so much! Both are stunning
Do you prefer hammered due to inform pave look?
Yes it was indeed special order. A few other members also have the bracelet and / or necklace.
@Suzie hope you were lucky to get it from Betteridge without the mark up paid for special orders!
Hmmmm I can’t say which I prefer as they are so different, despite both being WG. It’s just like how I feel about my hammered YG vs YG guilloche, they are for different outfits or moods!
I did not pay a mark up at all. To be honest I would have to look around the house to find the invoice but I did purchase the piece about 11-12 years ago. Mine is a 10 motif, here is a photo. I would love it if they bring out the WG Guilloche as I could add the hammered one and make a 20 motif.
Oh congrats (very belatedly)! What a great find. I think you have a true “vintage” piece that was made previously as part of the regular line — are the motifs a bit smaller in size compared to your more recent pieces? If you SO now, the size will be the uniform Alhambra vintage size.
Yes I am totally planning to link the hammered WG 10 with the guilloche WG 10, great minds think alike
Just hope the the weight won‘t be too much.You are right the motifs are smaller, when I purchased they said that it was vintage.Oh congrats (very belatedly)! What a great find.
