What an amazing collection! :faint: That one from dark to light MOP... was that a Special Order? i love grey MOP and have been wanting a VA YG bracelet of it -- but they stopped making it as regular inventory in my part of the world. :sad:
Thanks, Yes the GMOP was SO however the gmop pave is regular stock item. I would check with your SA as the gmop yg/RG is on the pre-approved list in USA
 
Took a page out of @BigAkoya book of wisdom and wore my perlee clover ring on a long chain… I will let you ladies decide if it was a hit or a miss:biggrin:

Well, you look fabulous as always. If anyone can make anything look, it would be you!

For me, this is a miss. It does not look bad, but I don’t love it. It looks like you are wearing a ring-on-a-chain, which you are! :biggrin::heart:

Even if the ring were a big size 60, I don’t think it will look great, at least not to me.

I am going to save this photo and stare at it more, but for now, I’ll skip this idea.

Thank you so so much for taking the time to doing this! We do get to see another fabulous mod shot. Appreciate you! :hugs:

Of course! Happy to help :hugs:I loved the idea of the long chain and multi purposing the ring but like you said, at the end of the day, it’s a ring on a chain and when you have such fabulous pieces such as the lotus and Frivole, you need a piece that truly shines by itself! My vote is still for you to get the magic pave pendant in WG! I like my pendants flat but that’s just me. Looking forward to which clover piece(s) you add to make a set with your clover bracelet, because if I know you, you need sets of threes, right?:biggrin:

I love both onyx and white mop! There are certainly times my clothing needs the black rather than white...such as through the fall and winter. I think you'll love onyx when it is worn with an outfit that it compliments! Someone complimented me today on my long Magic onyx pendant and I am 100% sure she didn't know it was VCA!
Onyx is very tempting since I already have the pendant, now she is a bit lonely :lol:

How about a second YG MOP bracelet? I have two WG MOP bracelets and love them together (I think I posted a photo somewhere). They pack such a punch and still say clean and not busy. You love MOP., and there is nothing wrong with getting a second MOP for a bolder presence.

There is nothing wrong with buying repeats of the exact same item if you love it. I do that often with clothing and shoes, exact same item. Why compromise and pick a second best that you love less? With those thoughts, I would say to you to help you decide...

"You love MOP, it's the best stone for you, why settle for something else when you can have more of the best!" :biggrin: :heart:
I think you are completely right about not settling for something less nice. I am planning to wear them alone, so I need to get it in another stone :biggrin: or maybe I should just get another piece, like a ring or another bracelet/bangle like signature. I shouldn’t start again about rings, everytime I ask for opinions but I end up not getting one. So I feel ashamed:biggrin::lol: maybe I need to cross the chasm, just like bracelets… Another option could be getting the WG MOP to go with my WG pieces but I am not sure how MOP bracelet would look with pave pendant. Normally I don’t really combine pearls and diamonds.

GMOP has amazing saturation and color play. It can go from light to dark depending on what it’s paired next to. It’s my absolute favorite stone

I love your bracelets, they are so pretty! Actually after I saw your GMOP on other thread, I was thinking to SO YG GMOP but I am not sure about the new SO regulations and I can’t bring myself to pay 30% premium :blush:

A strand of top-shelf akoya pearls would give you a classic piece that fits the pearls theme without matching exactly. Akoya are the ball bearings of the pearls world, shiny and sharp.

A strand of top-shelf white south sea pearls would be more challenging to find, but nice white south seas have incredibly beautiful (and strongly-coloured) iridescence. VCA’s white MOP actually comes from Australian white south sea oysters.

Nacre is magical, you have so many options :heart:
After a quick google image search, I am already a fan! Wow that colour, iridescent and shine… They are incredibly beautiful. Now I want to get a nice akoya necklace/choker, thank you for letting me know :love: :girlsigh:

My SA assured me that anything on the pre approved list is still available to order with the 30% premium of course. For me the premium is worth it to obtain my favorite metal choice as I refuse to buy yg.

I think shorter pendants are better on you ;) I am not as endowed but this is a problem I have with my 20, in that it sits between the girls. Unless I wear an undershirt that creates a bridge/flat surface across. Between that and it swinging everywhere I just wear it doubled. No long pendants or necklaces for me again.

I know exactly what you mean, the big boobie with the "necklace in the valley" problem.
Ironically, that is exactly why I love long necklaces and pendants.
I have the flat surface! No valley for me as there are no mountains! Just little molehills. :biggrin: :heart:

This 100%… that’s what’s keeping me away from getting a 20 motif. I usually wear my magic pendants on a shorter chain because of that reason.
 
Me too... I tried Victoria too to match the Lotus ring. It's that metal dot in the middle of the earrings that throws it off. It ruins the whole look in my opinion. Why couldn't they have put a tiny diamond in the center? It would have been perfect that way.
Your cluster earrings are ten times prettier than Victoria.

On not wearing your Noeud ring today... Okay Ms. @lynne_ross , here's how this works...
You need to be in suck-up mode if you want more surprise pieces from hubby in the future. You are required to wear the Noeud ring daily for the next two weeks. You are forbidden to wear any other ring until then. When you wear the ring, you must say to hubby at regular intervals, "you love the ring so much, he's the best, all your TPF buddies love it on you and said you have gorgeous hands for rings, you can never have too many rings!" (hint hint Frivole) :biggrin::heart:
Lolol @BigAkoya :lol::lol:
