Just wow! So beautiful, it looks great on you I think you can also layer it with the vintage pave pendant I saw it on forum somewhere it looked so effortlessly chique! I love 16 motif and I don’t agree on being too small with age, it depends on your style and You already have 10 motif so this would be a different style, personally I would choose this necklace over 10 or 20 because layering is possible. You could even layer with magic pendant, I am biased though but I love this necklace

My SA was able to find the 16 motif sweet Alhambra necklace. What do you all think? Form me, this is more dressy than the vintage RG pave pendant I have but casual enough for me to wear to work.

Love it. Esp with the vintage pave studs. If the necklace was also vintage, to me it's too much repetition in the same area around the face. But I'm not a matchy-matchy kinda person. I know many are.

I suddenly come up with an idea as to how to wear it in different way. Since you have the RG pave vintage pendant. You can wear the 16 motif long in a single strand and then also wear the RG pave pendant. This way, there are two layers. One acts like a chocker then 16 motif adds the swinging effect.

I have the same plan as you. I have the RG pave pendant and am waiting for the 16 RG to arrive. I think they will be perfect to layer. Single vintage pendants are lost on me unless I wear a high-neck dark top, but when I try to layer them with other vintage alhambra, it looks out of balance on me. I have a very similar LV small motifs long gold necklace from back in the day, and I have always loved the look of it so much, but would prefer the VCA version of the style. No once can tell the brand because the motifs are small, but in that case, as with the VCA, I think that is an asset. I will try out some styling options when mine finally gets here.

I am also in the search for a necklace to layer my pave VA. I was thinking about bulgari serpenti viper necklace pave/non pave version. I love the easy yet high end look of it but I still cannot really warm up the idea of snakes as jewelry :’) did you try other brands for layering?

I feel the same way! I love the look of Bvlgari serpenti, but I have a strong snake phobia after nearly being bitten as a child (my dog was bitten instead - and survived). I have just tried VCA otherwise, I only have long station necklaces from VCA other than the LV one. For me, the pave pendant does not work with a 20 motif because it’s just too much going on. If I was more statuesque it might work though.

nicole, I have been considering the serpenti bracelet. For necklaces, the only other station type I have considered to mix with VCA is the Buccellati Opera series. It is pretty and similar to VCA in a way. But not perfect by any means, similar in the size to VCA but a bit more delicate in the openwork design.
