It's a tough one as both look good on you, but what it really comes down to is what you like on yourself. Your preference all along has been with a longer necklace.Hi ladies!
Thanks to all who have weighed in about my 10 motif acquisition. I've been wearing it around the house trying to get used to the feel. I don't usually wear short necklaces, which is probably part of my lack of current enthusiasm. When I do wear short necklaces they are very small, light, and delicate so I can't feel it. I like rings and bracelets and long necklaces to see and admire my jewelry.
I've tried it on with different tops and dresses and I admit it looks beautiful in the mirror, so that's why I'm stuck.
I also tried linking it with my bracelet... for those who have shortened their bracelets, and wonder what it looks like when linked, I've attached a pic with the bracelet part visible. You can't see it when it's at the back of my neck with my hair down. (I had my bracelet shortened to 6.75 inches). I do much prefer it longer. I'm thinking of maybe having the 10 motif lengthened a couple inches.
I also attached a simple chain necklace to the 10 motif and brought my hair a little forward to simulate a 20.... absolute love! I'd probably wear it at this length more often than not, but I do like the idea of having the option.
So yeah, I've gotten no where in my decision making, but I've still got some time before the return deadline is up, so I'm still contemplating.
As an aside, I know if I start asking a lot of questions and can't decide, it means that it's just not right. The things I love, I've bought quickly-not exactly on impulse, although at first glance it might look that way, but without hesitation.
Listen to your inner voice. I think you already know what the decision is, you just need to pay attention.

I love the color of mine! They are not super dark --more Tiffany blue. Also have the pendant and they are very close in tone.
Fyi, I ordered wg/mop sweets through nm on Dec 30th and was told 10 days or so. On Jan 8th was told VCA was sold out and I was on list but it would 10-12 weeks. This past Tuesday, Jan 22 I get notification that they are in. They shipped out to me and I received today. How 10 days turns into 10-12 weeks and then appear in 2 weeks is a mystery to me, but happy to have them!!!

I've always loved the look of VCA's motif necklaces that are long.. I think I prefer the longer length on you just a little bit more.. Good luck!
that pendant is gorgeous, thank you for posting, i am hoping for a tiffany blue shade myself, as soon as they call and let me know they can order them i am going to tell them to go ahead, so we will see what happens
my SA did order a set a couple months ago for someone so hopefully this will work out well, this will be my 2nd piece, i have 10 motif wg/mop so i would maybe eventually like the sweet wg/mop but right now i want turq going into summer

Your pendant is such a beautiful color..
While in NYC earlier this month I saw turquoise ear clips in the display case. The color appears very similar. I was tempted to buy them because my 20 motif is this color. They also had supers in stock.
The jumbo's? I thought they were discontinued. Oh gosh, now the cows are out of the gate . . .
Hello everyone!! This is what I got at NM Houston last week... Could not decide between onyx 10 motif and this pendant, but DH was with me and he voted for this one... (I think price had everything to do with his opinion lol) Anyway, I love it!! Now I want the frivole earrings in addition to the 10 motif onyx... Thanks for letting me share

Thank you! Yes, the small frivole earrings in WG are gorgeous!! They had them at the store, I even tried them on.. They are so delicate and I think they are versatile, you can wear them with jeans or formal gowns... I also like the sweet earrings... I have the turquoise pendant in WG and would like to get the sweet earrings to match it someday... Oh well, the wishlist never ends... Lol
i tried on the small wg frivole at my NM around the holidays last year and they were great, sometimes i think about changing up and getting yg though, i will have to really look again when that time comes, and i know what you mean about the never ending wish list, i sat down and wrote mine out the other day and just shook my head!
