The SO WG oynx 20 motif is super gorgeous, and the panda hanging on it is super cute!
Do you by chance have a SO WG GMOP 20? I'm debating between the two stones to SO, and if you have a comparison, I would love to see. Thank you.
I love your "panda hanging on a limb" look! So chic!
I am sure I saw GMOP WG combination in a thread. I tried to search for it but I couldn’t find it, it might be on SO thread :’) it was in bracelet form though and to me it looked like it didn’t have the punch onyx WG has. @DS2006 ’s pave/onyx bracelet had this amazing punch and GMOP alone on WG seemed underwhelming (without MOP and Onyx like in WG 6 motif)
Oh and btw, SO hammered gold WG bracelet looked amazing too. Would you consider it as 20 motif? It would make a perfect classic carefree piece

When I went into VCA last month, I ultimately chose the MOP Vintage Alhambra but my second choice here which is the Pure Alhambra looks pretty too. Just have not seen anyone wearing it in person
Congrats on your new pendant, you can never go wrong with the Vintage Alhambra imo. All my VCA pieces are vintage, but the Pure Alhambra is growing on me. This forum is dangerous.
Same here! The more I look at it- the more I like it! I have also fallen in love with the hammered gold Alhambra pieces!Congrats on your new pendant, you can never go wrong with the Vintage Alhambra imo. All my VCA pieces are vintage, but the Pure Alhambra is growing on me. This forum is dangerous.
Yes, the SO thread is where I saw the WG GMOP bracelet! I am trying to decide on my next set (e.g. 20 motif, VA earrings, 5 motif bracelet). The WG GMOP is really beautiful and iridescent, but you are correct, I've been comparing it to WG oynx and the oynx has more punch. I already received the SO price for the oynx set, but I did not yet purchase as I was worried it would be too much black againt the face (e.g. earrings, necklace) and I also wanted to maybe add in the Cosmo oynx. Then I saw the WG GMOP bracelet and thought.. wow... maybe GMOP!I am sure I saw GMOP WG combination in a thread.

I would love to see it side by side, and even better next to WG MOP in case I plan to wear the two 20 motifs together (MOP & onyx or MOP & GMOP).
I actually tried on the oynx/pave 20 motif. I actually thought that would be the perfect balance, but I felt as a 20 motif, it was too "airy", and I wanted the punch of 20 evenly spaced oynx stones on a long necklace. That's just me, the oynx/pave is a gorgeous necklace.
I had not thought about an all WG 20 motif, but that's an idea too. I don't ever recall seeing it as a bracelet. WG in Alhambra is very limited as you know. Everytime you ask for a stone combo in WG, it's no no no.
(makes you want to give up and move on to another brand). I hope they come out with more WG options next season.If you are considering a SO, the SO prices I received for the oynx set was not too bad. I would expect the GMOP and hammered WG will be roughly the same.

The black onyx pave WG 20 motif is very lovely, as well- not sure with the long waits how long a SO would take these days - so the WG onyx SO may be delayed longer than usual?
Can’t go wrong with either

And here it is the hammered WG bracelet from @chiaoapple , it has a great sparkle
, I was not really big fan of hammered YG but it looks great on WG almost like pave but different. I am actually considering onyx WG VA earrings to pair with my WG pave pendant, I am curious about SO pricing. But your comment gives me hope that it will not be that bad. https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/special-orders.932392/page-37#post-34295487

The SO WG oynx earrings are $5,100. This price was as of April 24, 2021, so it was only a few weeks ago. You can probably add 2.5% to account for the price increase.I could finally find GMOP combo when I was searching for hammered gold.

The time estimate he told me was to plan on 6 months, but I was going to order a set (e.g. 20 motif, 5 motif bracelet, VA earrings). If you just want the earrings, it may not take that long.
I am similar to you in that I have never been a fan of hammer YG as I felt it looked antique-y to me. The WG looks good. I think I am looking for more of a pop with a stone vs. all metal (that was my issue with the 20 motif oynx/pave). I just love 20 stones all symmetrically spaced out on a long chain. So eye catching.
I think the WG oynx earrings would look great with your WG pave pendant! Great combo! Then you could get a bracelet too... either the WG oynx or the WG oynx/pave which the latter is not a SO.
Isn't it so much fun putting together sets?
To me, that's half the joy of collecting jewelry, planning the next pieces
Thank you so much for finding and sharing the links (so much good stuff on this forum)!

Would you be able to post a photo of this elliptical button thing you use on your brooches? I would love to see how it works so I could buy the right kind. Thanks so much!
Exactly! I was actually struggling to find a piece to match my pave pendant (now I pair them with pave sweet studs, I didn’t want to have “the same but bigger”) and I wasn’t really fan of MOP combined with pave. After I saw your comments about SO onyx 20-motif, I was like that’s it! That’s exactly what I am looking for. So much inspiration always here. I totally understand your point. Actually later it came to my mind that you also have the 20 WG MOP so if you (ever) want to wear them together like Grace Kelly, MOP and hammered WG will not have the strong contrast MOP and onyx have.

Hi,
Im getting my first VCA piece in Singapore. Anyone has a SA to recommend? I have read that some SA gives out free gifts. Is it amount dependent? Or any tips and tricks? thanks in advance!

Maybe off topic but... I am considering to purchase an apple watch but I am afraid it will look too sporty/sloppy with my jewellery. I thought that gold would be probably better but it comes only in rose gold my all pieces are either in white or yellow gold. For the people who already owns one, which setting did you choose? Black, rose gold or silver? Also leather or milanese strap? TIA
