When there's no need to work from home, what do you wear with the 10 motif? How do you style it?

I saw others style it with V neck or square neck but most of the time, I wear round neck top or dress which i think the motifs compete with the neckline. Want to add 10 motif to my collection but I have hard time making it work for my wardrobe.

Love it! By the way, I see you are letting one motif dangle. I am not sure if you are aware, but VCA will shorten the bracelet to fit your wrist. My SA says about 80% of his clients shorten their bracelets as they are made to about a 7.5 length to accommodate all wrist sizes and shortening is easier than lengthening. I personally do not like it hanging; it makes it look like the bracelet is too big on you, and to me, it takes away from the elegance of the piece because you see that loop at the end just dangling.

That's just my opinion of course and it's all preference. You might like it that way. Since this is your first piece, I did want to let you know VCA will resize for free. They also have "tester" bracelets you can try on to see exactly how each shortened length would look on you. If you do shorten, VCA will give you back you extra links, but do remind them just in case.

I said this earlier, but I want to say it again... that carnelian shade looks amazing on you. It's your color for sure!

I agree with you. I wear round necklines all the time, and I do not think 10 motif looks good with a round neckline. It's too busy and sloppy around the face to me and as you said, it competes with the round neckline for sure. I like the 20 motif over the 10 motif. When you see 10 motifs on people, it's often with vneck or collared shirts, both which I do not really wear. That's just me of course and it's all preference.

May I suggest you try a 20 motif? They look great with round/scoop necks and they swing makes it super casual.

Hehe thanks dear! Yup my SA explained to me my options..I don’t know.. I really thought of shortening it when I realised how freaking difficult it was to put on myself so I have 3 months to decide. I thought it was kinda weird to have it dangling at first but kinda growing on me and I hate waiting lol (resizing will take couple of weeks as it will be done in Singapore)
Honestly shortening will make it much easier to put on as well thanks for chiming in

I bought the 10 motif during work from home last year . I bought it to wear with my button down shirts/shirtdresses , V neck sweaters and to wear it as 15 motif with turtleneck sweaters.
Like @BigAkoya said, maybe try the 20 motif to see if it works with round neck tops. Also you could try the 6 motif magic necklace.

Thank you for your reply. The thing is I am flat-chested and bone structure is very thin. I worry that 20 motif hit too low on my torso, I think it might hit belly button. That might be the reason why 2 of my SAs in different store didn't bring it out for me to try on. Also, the 20 motif is the same price as the lotus small earrings and I tend to wear earrings more often-- every day. I will ask my SA to bring out 20 for me to try on. Never try, never know.
