I actually think you'll be able to wear it with more than you think, sbelle. The malachite is so beautiful and I, also, like the fact that it can be worn in two lengths. I cannot wait to get mine after seeing yours!

I went with the intention of trying a rose gold Perlee bangle (unfortunately they didn't
have my size ) but left with a solid rose gold 10 motif and matching bracelet .
I have since been wondering if I should have bought the 20 motif instead or add another 10 motif .
I think you will love the 20 motif Chalcedony as it is a bit of a chameleon and varies from blue to grey depending on the light and what you are wearing . I layer mine with MOP and Onyx. I would post some pics but the TPF app is not working at the moment and I do not know how else to do it ( need an IT expert LOL ) :D

Hi girls! Made my decision on which 10 motif to get as my first. I decided on the YG because I can layer with any and all other 10 motifs I get in the future. :graucho: It is a bit more yellow on me than expected but still very pretty. MY dh had it lengthened by two inches because I can't stand things close to my neck and now that I'm pregnant and my neck is bigger (already :cry:) I needed it for sure. Do you all think it is long enough or should I have it lengthened a little more? I was thinking when it is layered with another 10 motif, it may look better a little longer.....please give me your opinions.

Big congrats ,first but not the last !!!
I would leave the length as it is now as it looks great. I also think the colour of the gold is very nice .
 
The length looks perfect!
Congrats on your new necklace and I hope that you are feeling well with your pregnancy:smile1:
The yg is such a nice piece to have..it does look beautiful layered, too.
You were very smart to buy the ten motif because you can always add another ten motif and have the option to wear it long or short. My SA sold me on the yg when she sent a photo of the yg layered with the carnelian. Of course I just had to buy it. The earrings are great to have for the same reason..as long as you collect the yg, the all yg goes with all the other vintage Alhambra. Of course, you might wind up falling in love with the frivole earings (or the perlee) which also go beautifully and are not as matchy.
OMG, and I thought that Hermes was a slippery slope.....

Thank you texsgirliegirl! Since you mentioned it, I am not feeling well at all. Same as with my son, I am nauseated all day, every day. Last time it was for 5 months so I am crossing my fingers it is not that long this time:shucks:

My dh loves the carnelian as I do as well so that will most likely be my next 10 motif. That's why I told him I wanted 10 motifs-I could always add another if I wanted it much longer. Do you think this would look better an inch or two longer since I plan on layering it with another?

The other day, I was pondering if I were to one day purchase vintage sized earrings, I may get the solid yg because it would match all of my vca (I love the yg)-made me remember you modeling yours here and how smart of a decision that was for you to purchase.

Chanel is my other slippery slope :graucho: I have been very bad the past 6 months with bags and shoes. Luckily I am not currently into Hermes-yikes! Sigh.....like someone here once said, I need to plant a money tree.
