Two 10s is an option, but I could also wear the 20 doubled… I should have taken a pic of that. DH likes the 10 too, so more to think about lol.
Thank you! I would like to stack eventually. Probably with a Perle d’or or a white love. This I haven’t decided yet…

Did you try on the six motif magic. I think that would be a really nice length and size on you :biggrin: it has two adjustable lengths so can be a bit shorter like the ten with great presence due to the two dangles (that can be worn inside a collar for a more demure look or worn as is for more bling. Yet it’s playful enough, IMO, for everyday

I love long necklaces, and they are super versatile! Casual or dressy, very relaxed chic look.
I agree on the 10, only works when you have an open neckline; otherwise, it competes. I don't wear collared shirts anymore either! Hence I don't wear short necklaces as I mainly do round/scoop/ballet necks. But the 20, it works for all necklines! And for sweaters, I do a lot of sweaters in the winter too and love it with a long necklace. By the way, speaking of chunky sweaters, I just discovered Naadam during last winter's COVID lockdown... super soft cashmere, not expensive, super casual. I purchased a couple sets of the Boyfriend Cashmere Cardigan and paired it with the matching Cashmere Cropped Pant. It's casual wear, but not bummy at all (leisure wear can look really bummy fast, but this still looks pulled together while being super comfy). I really like it, so as FYI, you may want to check it out. Looks great with a 20 motif! :biggrin:

I vote 20! Looks really great on you. The WG works perfectly on you too. Did you get VA earrings? I have the WG MOP set and like it a lot. So glad you love WG too! I wish VCA would make more WG pieces. Congrats again! I'm so happy for you! :drinks:

Ohhh thanks for the recommendation, I will look Naadam up! Our tastes sound very similar :cool:
I’ve been dressing very casual since the first lockdown, but I still wear all my jewelry, even at home. It just makes me happy.
I have pretty much decided on the 20!
I did get the VA white gold MoP earrings, love them! Thank you :love:
I agree, would be nice if they made more WG pieces, for now there’s enough to keep me busy for a while though haha.

lolakitten, it is so exciting to build/re-build a collection and focusing on WG MOP is a classic and elegant choice. I have a great deal of WG in my collection and just love it and find it extremely versatile. I agree with Big A on the 20, I own this one and it goes with just about everything. I think your skin tone looks perfect with it. You can always wear it doubled in the neckline of a shirt if you want the shorter length from time to time but I think you will just use the 20 as is - Very easy just to throw on and wear. I also own the XL wg pave frivole necklace/pin. I prefer to wear that piece not as a long pendant but doubled, I then also put on the WG MOP 20 which sits nicely and frames the stunning pendant. This pairing has alot of presence and never fails to make a simple outfit special. I am older and on the shorter side and I have no problem carrying off the look of the 20. I encourage you to consider it!

Oh wow that’s sound GORGEOUS!!
I’m already compiling a list of things to try the next time I go, I’m adding this one as well!
I would love to see a pic of the two necklaces together next time you wear it :flowers:

I didn’t try this, I looked at it, but for some reason it didn’t really speak to me. I think it’s the mix of “colours” that didn’t draw me in… it looks so lovely on other though.

I am in love with that Very Large WG Frivole pave pendant, to complete my Frivole pave set, but I can't get it to work on me somehow. I tried to wear it long, but it just didn't pop on me, too small.

I'd love to see a mod shot of how you wear it. Mod shot please, pretty please? :biggrin: :heart:

Yeah it’s definitely and awkward length. I prefer a longer necklace personally. I have a longish pendant necklace that’s 24” and depending on the top, it ends up in there too haha.
Also, I’m not really sure I’d wear the bracelet part… so I’ve pretty much written off that option.

Ah ok. I have one 5+10 and I wear this set the most, as a 15, 10, 5. I personally prefer the 10 over 20. I don’t wear my 20 that often. I find it swings all over the place and I end up doubling it up part way through the day after I get annoyed with it. It is beautiful looking long but not practical for daily wear compared to the 10. My 2 cents.

Does anyone else have an issue with the sweet alhambra with diamonds bracelet constantly flipping over to the wrong side? I feel like it sits on me wrong-side up 85% of the time... I am trying to see if this is an issue just for me or just generally... TIA

Yes, I have it, and it flips all the time. I just accept it as it is lol, and I'm secretly planning to shorten its length someday, hoping that might help (but then, I might have difficulty closing the clasp...so I'm not sure...)

I LOVE all of these ideas! I love the YG way and would love to work on the RG way! I would do Frivole instead of VA! Is it odd to have more than one type of Frivole? LOL.
What stone do you think looks best with Guicholle? If I do not do alternating pave, I could get another bracelet!
Ty so much for your words, have a lot of thinking to do. I always want to get everything asap, but I need to do it slow and love the journey. :smile:

Not at all! I have the RG pave Frivole pendant and BTF ring and I want to add a couple of mirror polish Frivoles in RG to my collex! Never enough! :biggrin:
I like guilloche on its own! The shine is so brilliant that it needs no other accompaniment imo.

Lol that is a very valid point. I have some things to consider for sure.
