here is an old pic with the LE earrings before I changed my hair to pink. You can’t really see the pg (although it’s clear to me why I felt they were too small), but you can see with the YG necklace how gmop really does nothing for me and the onyx pops. i wear a lot of YG but not with a stone (guilloche or pave), and looking at this I see why - the pg is a softer look with the stone, yg alone/pave is fine but YG onyx is a bit harsh. The Wmop looks ok here, but of the three stones I think the onyx is best for me.

You are as beautiful as always!
Of the three stones, I like them in this order on you: MOP, oynx, GMOP.
I think the MOP just glows on you. The oynx certainly pops, but as we discussed, to me, it's a hard look (e.g. angry, harsh, edgey). Hard looks are great too, but a big MOP pop is a good. I really like the MOP on you.

Looking at the photo though, for you, wow... I personally think the MOP makes you glow. I find MOP looks very elegant on your skin. My eye goes to the MOP first and it is just lights up your neck/face and the piece. The oynx is a nice dark accent that my eye is drawn to next.

By the way, the 6 motif lands great on your neck, and you are wearing the perfect open neckline to highlight that necklace. That triple clover drop hangs perfect, just ever so slightly below the hollow of your neck to highlight it. I think that is such a beautiful spot for women.

Thanks for sharing. If I were you, I would look at MOP! I know you say you don't like, but I love it on you.

I love this on you and think you look amazing (I think the yg onyx is strong, not harsh ; that may be semantics lol) ! But I also see your rationale! Hugs

Just echoing other’s sentiments here, LOVE the white mop on you. You’re right, the grey isn’t as special.
I really like the onyx as well. Hard to see the earrings but that one clover on your collar bone pops and looks amazing!
 
Being 100% honest here, and I get it as we are all our toughest critic and all have your personal preferences, - this piece in whole with its onyx, mop, mop, & YG, looks incredible on you! I do think the rg combo with the onyx is the perfect choice and will be striking. I hope you share with us when you do get it.

thank you so much! I am going in next Wednesday to play, so I promise to play with some mop too and I will take photos. Still, though, if I went with that I would also want it in pg. @BigAkoya thank you for all the sweet compliments! :hugs:
 
I love that thought! Cosmos black oynx is so pretty, but that leaves my 20 motif lonely.
For a mate, I could get the oynx bracelet, but that is definitely too much oynx, so I'd have to give up the Cosmos ring, which then makes my Cosmos earrings lonely. :nuts:

Too much drama to think about. I can't wait to go the boutique when they finally stock up again so I can get all these pieces brought in and try them. VCA inventory is so slow these days (still waiting for my Lotus earrings... tick tick tick... where are they? Sigh).

Thanks so much for the suggestion. I really do like the Cosmos earrings... a softer look.
@BigAkoya I saw this photo and thought of your post. The malachite alhambra here doesn't look lonely at all. I like the fact they've mixed the lines for the photo shoot. Frankly, I think the perlee earrings used in the photo-shoot are a much more interesting and exciting look than it would have been had they paired the necklace with Alhambra earrings.

Just a thought . . .

Thanks for sharing this photo. Yes, I was thinking Cosmos oynx BTF ring and matching Cosmos oynx earrings. I really like matching earrings and long necklace though I will admit. I have an emerald ring and matching emerald earrings, and they work too as a set.

By the way, I tried on the Perlee turquoise set (e.g cuff bangle, BTF ring) as I was looking at that for turquoise. I decided no on the Perlee Couleurs for me. They always look nice in the photos though.

I am hoping Cosmos oynx will work as a set. I really love BTF rings too.

Last Fall I purchased a pair of Robert Procop Style of Jolie Kunzite earrings. I just found a matching pendant.

I think it goes well with my Perlee bangle and Sweet Alhambra necklace.

@Notorious Pink, you may recognize the bracelet. It’s the earrings converted.
