Thank your Happyish for your kind advice.

Yes, I should have worn something dark to make a WG piece stand out. My favorite color is Navy and this brown blouse is actually not really me! (I am not a neutral lover, including H bags.)

But, my point is the impact of the diamonds. I have always thought this piece was too sparkly for me to wear IRL, but its impact was, in a way, less than that of Magic 6-motif pave, which my SA also admitted.

VA WG long necklace in onyx/pave is very nice, but I have 20-motif onyx in WG...

Do you have the WG MOP 20? I think the WG and MOP combo really pops and goes with everything. It's a neutral; yet because it is MOP, the stone is "white" so the motifs really pop loud, all 20 of them! :nuts: :heart: I have the WG MOP 20 nd love it. I wear it very casual (shorts/striped top).

The WG MOP 20 would be a nice complement to your WG oynx if you ever decide to wear two together. You may already have it though. Assuming you already have the WG MOP 20 and since you like long necklaces (I love long necklaces), maybe go for the WG 16 motif. That will pack a punch and it's super swingy. Just a thought.

Thank you BigAkoya :heart:

I had seen a very beautiful pic in which a model wearing WG MoP 20. I asked my SA to find and keep one, but all the pieces in the stock were on hold and WG necklaces they had at that point were, 20 pave, Magic 6 Motif and 16 Motif.:yucky: As you said, Magic pave 16 motif in WG was very very gorgeous and sparkly enough (whenever you wear), but it's too long I think. But, I may change my mind:smile:

After that SA offered me another long necklace, which is not WG but I a bit regretted passing last year, I will take it first and consider WG necklaces later:amuse:

Sorry, I was not clear. I meant the Magic 16 WG with MOP, Chalceodny, and GMOP. It makes a statement. The Magic 16 pave to me does not pack a punch. To me, it's too much chain, motifs too far out, and the tiny diamonds get lost in all that metal. It looks more like a chain link station necklace. That's just my opinion.

The Magic 16 MOP, Chalcedony, and GMOP is so beautiful. Each motif stands out, all different colors, it's a feast for the eyes. I am thinking of getting it and wearing it with my WG MOP 20. This is the necklace I am referring to. Maybe ask your SA to bring it in to try out and see if you might like it:
Magic Alhambra long necklace, 16 motifs White gold, Chalcedony, Mother-of-pearl- Van Cleef & Arpels (vancleefarpels.com)

If you do not have the WG MOP 20, I highly recommend it and would get that for sure! :biggrin::heart:

Yes! Truly, WG MOP just pops. I love how the MOP is one big stone, and you get 20 of them! :nuts: :heart:
Get the matching earrings, bracelet, and you're good to go! The photo is dressy, but I wear my set casual all the time.

I think if you want one, ordering is the best way to assure you get it. It should not take long as it's a standard stock item.
Good luck!

Oh, I see! I was talking about the Magic 16 pave which I tried on. Perhaps I prefer the VA necklaces to the Magic necklaces that have motifs of different colors and sizes:smile: Thank you for your advice:heart::heart::heart:

I will agree with you; i tried on wg pave pieces & they were meh on me.
The 6 motif Chalcedony/gmop/mop necklace got lost on my skin.
Even malachite which i love every time i see it , does nothing for me.
Yet the pieces that i do have work & make me come alive.
It's really weird, but i totally get why you feel meh about the pave.

Thank you A bottle of Red:heart:
I don't know why, but as far VA motif pave is concerned I prefer YG/RG to WG.
I seldom wear my VA earrings in WG.
Magic pave WG is totally OK with me:tup:
