This is beautiful, and it looks gorgeous on you! Congratulations!
Now you're addicted I'm sure.... matching earrings and bracelets!
Thank you everyone! Yes, I absolutely love my first 20 motif! I am finding myself wearing this piece everyday with super casual outfits which I am very surprised. It’s such an easy piece to throw on with anything and everything. If anyone is contemplating whether to get 20 or not, I would strongly recommend now that I own one and know how versatile it is.
I have not tried on pave earrings and pave alternating bracelet yet but plan to do so in next couple weeks.

Yes, I would love the matching earrings and bracelet in all stone but again I am really afraid of stones not matching with my 20 motif. I have heard from this forum if pieces are not to one’s liking, you can turn it down? However, my SA tells me SO pieces can’t be turned down just because you don’t like the finished piece. Is she wrong? Slightly confused as I have heard different things.This is beautiful, and it looks gorgeous on you! Congratulations!

Of course you can refuse a MTO. You don’t get your deposit returned but it’s still there as store credit. The MTO for gmop is from a preapproved list so much different from SO that requires approval from Paris. It’s frowned upon and potentially could impact your SO getting approved in future.
Thank you for the breakdown!
I am still confused what are considered MTO or SO. My SA referred to my GMOP 20 as SO one minute then referred to it as MTO next time so I couldn’t quite tell what’s what.
so MTO can be turned down in a form of store credit? But my SA mentioned previously that I simply could not just refuse the GMOP 20 even if I end up not liking it? Of course, I ended up loving it- thank god but what if I didn’t..?? Gosh..Maybe I should ask her directly what’s the deal here re: MTO, SO, and etc.
On a separate note, is noeud ring considers MTO? I am thinking of ordering it but couldn’t be sure where this ring stands.
If you didn’t like it then you can refuse it. They probably won’t allow you to reorder the refused combo again. They use SO and MTO interchangeably so it gets confusing. I will have to defer to our ring guru @BigAkoya to advise about Noeud.
I would not worry if they are not exact matchy matchy. I have a lot of pearls, and every strand, bracelet, earring is unique.
A pearl is unique, created by nature, a one of a kind. For me, the beauty of wearing a GMOP far exceeds if each piece is an exact match; the underlying tone will be the same... all GMOP. It's not like you're mixing WMOP and GMOP. You are doing all GMOP, and the pieces will all be in the same theme.
I have a WG MOP set (20, VA earrings, 2 bracelets), and my favorite part of the set is how the earrings match the 20.
This creates a continuous flow from the torso, all the way up the face. It lengthens the body to me.
Just my thoughts. Good luck in your decision.
ETA: Thinking what you could do... I just remembered my SA and I were talking about a SO ring using carnelian as the stone. He then mentioned carnelian varies a lot, but I could pick the shade I wanted. He then added that some clients who want to add to an existing collection bring in their pieces. Since we were talking carnelian, he specifically mentioned this stone as carnelian varies a lot. You could do that if you are super worried; then order the rest of the pieces at the same time (e.g. earrings, bracelets). GMOP of course does not vary like carnelian, which can range from orange-red to brown-red.

For Noeud, that would be @lynne_ross who has the magnificent Noeud. She has that gorgeous ring. I would think it's just a MTO, that ring is a stock ring that is not readily stocked.
. There is no special configuration, but Ms. @lynne_ross just purchased one and knows all about it!The stunning ring is super fabulous on her! I hope she can do a mod shot! I haven't seen

For the noeud I think it is still produced just not on website. With shortage of inventory folks will likely need to order their size like they do any other ring right now.
They were not in the photo mood, here is my best for today with the noeud.@J_love_Chanel

How adorable! I hope you had a great weekend. On another note: does VCA's Noeud have other pieces in its collection? I dont recall seeing anything. Perhaps its because its SO?
