Stuck deciding between the Turquoise Alhambra ring or the MOP. The rest of pieces are the MOP so not sure if I should stick with the MOP to get a complete set or if I should get Turquoise for a pop of color. Thoughts?

Oh, and does anyone have any modeling pics wearing the 10 motif MOP Vintage Alhambra wearing casual clothes? I just ordered it and am having second doubts as my wardrobe is super casual - jeans and shirts and not sure if it will be too much and I could put my $ towards something else in VCA.
I'd choose turquoise ring if rest of my collection was mop. And the necklace can go from jeans to ball gown if you want to. It's a very versatile piece IMHO. Wait til you get it to decide so you can try on with clothes.
Rosie is very very nice. She will send pics and is very helpful.
Thank you. Do u happen to have her cell no? If you do, do u mind sending me a pm?
The Vintage alhambra line is considered (by VCA) to be everyday jewelry. It is not considered "high" jewelry. It's perfect for casual wear and intended for everyday.
Hmmm. Never thought there might be variations (which is silly for me not to think that since it is natural stone!)
I've been contemplating these for many years and finally pulled the trigger. Tried them on each time I traveled and came across them in a boutique. Introducing my new Frivole! I wore them as soon as they arrived. They're like happy little mirrors!
They are stunning on you. I am drooling over this pair. Big congrats! Enjoy with great health.
I got on the train and placed my order yesterday for MOP 5-motifs bracelet. The waiting part is so hard.
I would get the turquoise ring for a pop of colour, I have it with a diamond and it really stands out and gets a lot of comments. I have MOP also.
Got this in the mail today. I was so excited to receive it but as soon as i opened the box, i felt a bit let down. Not quite sure why. Maybe the color is different (darker) than what i envisioned it to be. Maybe it's the size... but i think its going back. Here's a quick pic though for all you VCA lovers 
On the flip side, my 10 motif, i love very much!

Were you not expecting the sweet size?
its the same size as the motifs on my onyx necklace but i guess you are right about me not expecting this sizewise. It looks amazing in fellow tpf members that have it, but i think it looks "lost" on me. Im just so surprised i didnt like it. But i guess thats why its always a good thing to try before you buy. Unfortunately, no VCA closeby. At least i can return it for a full refund
