I'm assuming you can't change this one for the longer chain? Pity

No--the chain is attached, whereas the chain on the chrysophase (which also can be worn as a brooch) is removable.

I am second guessing myself and need some help.
Earlier this week I received the Bouton d'Or pendant necklace in the rose gold/white gold combination. It's gorgeous. But . . . I already own other yellow gold necklaces which are the same length. And pearls. So now I'm thinking, what was I thinking?? Instead, perhaps I'd be better off with the Chrysophase/Onyx/YG pendant necklace which represents a combination of stones different from anything else I own, and which can be worn short or long . . . (not that I don't already own other long necklaces . . .)
I don't have any photos of the chrysophase/onyx pendant on me, just the RG/WG pendant necklace so I've attached stock photos.
I can exchange one for the other . . .
I would appreciate your thoughts and few two cents!

My thoughts and five cents!
110% exchange! I love color for jewelry, and I love colored gemstones. I love the chrysophase/Oynx/YG combination. It is a statement piece.

My five cents as food for thought...
Everyone wears gold and diamonds. In the jewelry world, it's safe. Few people wear bold color gemstones.
For those that do wear colored stones, most go with blue, think safe sapphire. Yet everyone is mesmerized when they see green, think enticing, enchanting emerald.

If I had to choose, the "green/black/YG" necklace is far more stunning to me!
I vote exchange! That's my five cents!
Was I convincing?

That's a tough choice then.
I don't generally like green (except the malachite but that looked terrible on me for some reason) so I am not sure.

They're great questions and I have no answer. Because I have other choker length yellow gold necklaces (which I don't wear, and not for any discernible reason--they're all fabulous) I'm thinking the longer may be the more prudent choice.

I like the longer length. One other thought... for the second piece, in this case, I would get the bracelet. I think the bracelet goes beautifully with the long necklace. For me, I'm not fond of ring. I think the four sharp corners makes the hand look harsh. The bracelet goes beautifully.

I am certain you have a stunning ring to go with this set.
That was another two cents, so now I'm up to seven cents, so I will zip it.
Good luck in your decision!

I know you love onyx. I know you love green, and I know you love the two together! Aside from the fact that I had a sense this is what you would say (and yes, I was hoping to get the benefit of your considered and thoughtful advice), this resonates perfectly with what I've been feeling but have been unable to articulate.

You hit the nail on the head. This is playing it safe and is probably the reason I've been having second thoughts. The chryosophse/onyx is very different from anything I own. I already have safety-zone jewelry (which is probably why it's out of rotation), so why add another as beautiful as this is.

It's kind-of, go big or go home . . . I mean--what the hell-this is JEWELRY!

So now it's an even bigger dilemma. Again there's only one companion bracelet left in the company in my size, and oh my word, now I'm thinking the earrings would be stunning with the long pendant . . . ?

Ouch!

No need to zip. Sage advice is always welcome.
And I agree about the ring.
Thank you!

I am not a fan of this style…having said that the green and black one is way more eye catching and shows off the style better. I much prefer the longer chain style. With the gold one the buttons blend together and you just see a round shape vs the detail of the buttons. The longer chain also makes it more wearable to me. The shorter chain one looks hard to wear. With a collared shirt you will not see it all (as with your pic you are holding open your shirt). I also find green a very easy colour to wear if you wear neutrals and blue. To me it is one of the best jewellery colours.

I love the longer length, as well. I think the color combination is very pretty and certainly could easily be worn with black.

Wore these today for first time. They are birthday present from my mom (birthday isn’t yet but with restrictions we don’t get out much and these matched my outfit so well). I absolutely love the tiger eye on these. They are surprisingly not heavy at all and can wear all day without really feeling them.

They look great on you, and yes... the tiger's eye is gorgeous. They hang nicely on you too.
Happy Birthday!

Happy early birthday! The earrings look so good on you.
