If you want something with a WOW factor, the diamond Vintage Alhambra is not the way to go.

You pendant is lovely and discreet, but won’t be noticed across a room. It’s also really wearable in professional situations.

I do think it looks lovely and appropriate with your white coat. I think you can wear it all the time. But if it does not spark joy, then I’d exchange it for something that will make you smile. VCA is too expensive to settle for something less.
Exactly this about the appropriateness in a professional setting with your lab coat. But I think this is super wearable on a daily basis and casually blingy against your skin if worn with a T-shirt. If you want big time look-at-me red carpet blingy then go for the pave frivole. However with a lab coat or with more conservative professional attire where you want people to notice you first, I much prefer the pave Alhambra.
 
Yes, highly recommend trying them out with tees and polos. I think they look even better with casual clothes since they add a pop vs if you’re already dressed up with a clutch it blends in more. I tend to reach for my non-pave Frivole earrings when wearing sequins, for example.
I totally agree with your philosophy on jewelry with casual clothes. I dress super casual after business hours, and I bling it on! I truly think nice jewelry adds polish to any outfit, even shorts.
