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. If I have the 10 motif, I might need to buy new clothes which i don't want to. I am happy with my clothes these days. I don't have lots of V neck cos I am flat-chested. Don't want to draw attention to that area. Might be I need to stick to earrings and bracelet?

I love the 10 motif under a silk blouse, over a slim turtleneck....pretty much anything except a competing round neckline or a boatneck that cuts it off.

Thank you for the suggestions. When I was trying a 10 motif on, I tucked 10 motif under the collar of a button down and it turned out that only one or two motifs were showing. Need to try with a shirt made of thin material.

I didn't realize that would bother you. Yes - that's how I've worn it -

I do wear with round necklines, too.

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.

To me, long necklaces look the best on small breasted ladies. Think the 1920s skinny flapper look. The long necklace looks amazing long and swings. I am 5’ 2”, 108lbs, and also small breasted, and I wear the 20 motif which is 34”. My actual favorite length for a long necklace is 38”. I also wear long Mikimoto pearl strands that are 34”, 38”, and 52”.

To me, long strands look great when they land around the torso, it gives a very elongated look. The 10 just lays sloppy over my round neck top, not against my skin. And the drape now competes with my round neckline. I hope that made sense! That’s my input to help you decide, but it’s all preference as you know.

I think the 20 will be amazing on you. You have the perfect body type for it. Plus, it is a nice bold statement piece that pops against tops.

I really do hope you will love the 20. Good luck!

My favourite novel is The Great Gatsby. :love:
I only have one low waisted dress- the flapper styled dress. I will try 10 and 20 next time I visit VCA. You are still not buying the lotus earrings, why?

Do you think 2 x 10 motif is more versatile? I do want to make the most of what I spend on.
