Hi all, can I ask if you would rather wear a VA necklace and 5 motif bracelet in the same stone combination? Or do you wear different stones together to not be to matchy matchy? In my case, can I wear a necklace in WMOP and the bracelet in GMOP together? I did not wear them together, def. would if the stones were the same. Or is this fun and playful? TIA

hi, whatever makes you happy is the best; no rules just fun. i tend to mix metals (rg, yg, wg) but keep the stone color simple. also high & low, big & small is super cute too

Hihi! Hope everyone’s keeping well and safe! :)

Would like to seek some opinion on the next VCA purchase that I’m planning on.. my first VCA piece is a pair of sweet Alhambra earrings in WG MOP and I’m thinking to get a necklace to match but can’t decide between the Alhambra Magic or Vintage size - both WG MOP. (I’m a UK 12 and abit worried the Vintage would look a bit too dainty...)

Was looking around for reviews and images but for some reason, it seems like Magic WG MOP is not a common piece and I can’t find much info on it.
Would be great if some of you can help weigh in on my options.
TIA ladies <3

Are you typically a super matchy-matchy person? I would consider an Alhambra necklace in a different variation - they would match as a set via the shape, but not be super matchy, if that makese sense.

Either way, I would recommend the Magic size based on your comment above about wanting the piece to not appear super dainty. Also, you can wear the Magic different ways, whereas with the Vintage, you really can't. (albeit you can make it shorter via the jump, shrug)

Hi,
This video link was posted in this forum few days back and the Youtuber owns the exact Magic pendant necklace you are talking about.


Also if you are into layering, vintage size might not be too small and could play nicely with other necklaces.

Here's the thing... I like the vintage size pendant with the sweet earrings. I like the Magic size pendant with the vintage (or even Magic) size earrings. I think the Magic pendant is kind of big for sweet size earrings.

After your comment - I’m considering different variations instead of just MOP :) hope to share what I eventually end up with!

Does anyone know if there is a difference for SO between standalone boutique and inside NM?

Maybe it depends on your SA. Through the boutique I could get certain combos approved that my SA at NM didn’t really want to try. That said, I did get my SO’s through the boutique. Now there is more structure for NM to make SO’s too.
