I have 5 vintage pendant's and I've never seen this issue. I do have 2 that are 18 inches long so when I wear it at the shortest setting, the extra length of the chain gets twisted a bit with the rest of the necklace. It's not really that bothersome for me...I just untangle.

I'm not sure if your tennis bracelet would scratch them as I have no idea what it looks like.
I can say that you def shouldn't stack the guilloche with anything. If that gets scratched, you can't fix it so I would not risk it.
As far as stacking with stones in general, I wear a rose gold vintage with a MOP vintage daily and they definitely rub but I have had zero issues. I also have a friend who stacks vintage onyx with Cartier & Hermes bracelets etc and her onxy is perfect.
Now you've made me want that, too!!!
Tiger's Eye is harder than MOP and less likely to be scratched than MOP. MOP is tough but does scratch fairly easily. I wouldn't wear anything else with MOP. Onyx, TE, and Carnelian all have similar hardness.
Thank you ladies for your inputs! That’s really helpful to know that scratched guilloche is not repairable- I will definitely never stack guilloche. It’s also really good to know that MOP gets scratched more easily than tiger’s eye. That really helps me to narrow down my choice. Thank you!
Since life is starting to go back to normal slowly, do you guys wear your jewelry like before? Do you worry about the fact that you can not wash/disinfect like you would with other items?
I am starting to go back to the office a few days a week and I have been wearing all my pieces as I did before. Nothing has changed for me.... they bring me such pleasure. Maybe I live my life on the edge

Ahhh I want to enjoy mine too but my OCD is kicking... you might come across a thread I started earlier and you’ll be shocked/able to see what I mean lol
I haven't seen the OCD but I'm sure if you witnessed my lack of OCD, u would think i have a death wish
But I doooooo follow the trifecta: wear a mask, wash my hands A LOT and use Clorox wipes. Regarding the jewelry, I used to wear gator CDCs daily so I am very trained to wipe my jewelry after hand washings to prevent water spots on the skin so this habit is useful with my VCA as well.....
