I have a dilemma that perhaps you ladies can help me solve. I really want to get the 20 motif YG MOP necklace. Should I get the single necklace or two 10's? I've never seen how the 10's link together to create one necklace. Could someone post a pic? Is it obvious that its two necklaces and does that bother you? I like the option of having two necklaces to play with, short and long. I'll also add I have two daughters. I would love to hear your thoughts.
 
Peppers thank you so much ,your little flower water baby is just too cute !!
Saks4me YAY chalcedony twins !! And I must say your lovely necklace did confirm my love of chalcedony
Kimber, Samia, Dialv thank you so much for all your kind words bearing in mind my terrible photography :flowers:
 
Lots of ladies buy two ten motif necklaces so that they can wear them in different ways and then share with their girls down the line. :D
I myself have two girls and often buy things with them in mind which is where my nickname I'll Take Two comes from

i'd get the 2 10-motifs because it really does give you more options and wearability. also, MOP does not vary too terribly like carnelian or chalcedony so it would be easy to combine 2 10's without it being obvious, imo.

That is a great nickname!! Great reason to get 2 10s:graucho:.....I really do like it with the golf clothes, as long as it doesn't interfere with your swing, I would wear it again. Great lil piece of bling!

I went through the same thinking process nearly a year ago..for all the same reasons, including the two daughters!
With the exception of my turquoise 20 motif, ALL my other vintage Alhambra necklaces are multiples of two.....mop, onyx, carnelian, tigers eye and yg.
I find that I really do wear both sizes a lot....and I love the flexibility. The reason I did not buy the turquoise this way is because it can be tough to match turquoise. I do not have a photo to show of the clasp, but it really does not bother me at all..and I tend to be picky!!:smile1:
 
I have a dilemma, should i wear my diamond bangle together with my new mop bracelet? They are nice together but i am afraid that my bangle might scratch the mop surface, any info is much appreciated! Thanks ladies!

They look great together! It just depends on how much your bangle moves on your arm and how hard it is. I wore my MOP with a diamond bangle and did lightly scratch the MOP. The bangle moved a lot on my arm and it had a somewhat hard edge that scraped against the MOP. The scratches are only noticeable when I look closely but I do know they are there. I now wear the MOP bracelet with a diamond tennis bracelet and have no problems. The tennis bracelet is lighter and has softer more rounded edges so it does not seem to scrape the MOP. HTH!
