Thank you! The pink thing in the background is my Wolf jewelry case. Funny, I actually have a pink Chanel bag the exact same color (and matching ballets too ofcourse)
In case you are meant jewelry case, here it is: Caroline Large Jewelry Case | WOLF | WOLF (wolf1834.com)
I love this pale pink... it is my perfect pink, and I am not a pink person at all. This pink is pale pink with a drop of white, a milky pink, which I love.
Yes, I agree the 16 motif (about 47") doubled (making it about 24") is a goofy length. I think any length in the 20s" is hard to wear as it lands in no-man's land. For a long necklace, I think 32"-38" are the best lengths.
That is a great question which I was just thinking about earlier. You read my mind!
I really like the "two matching bracelet" look, so yes, for future Alhambra sets, I will get the same 4 pieces as I have with my MOP set, including two of the same bracelets.
However, for oynx, I am not sure as I think two oynx bracelets might be too harsh when worn next to a big ring.
For my hand, my ring is always the star. When I look at my hand, my eye has to first go to my ring. There is no point in buying big rings if you don't let them shine and take center stage.Bracelets are supporting characters for me, so I'll have to see how two black oynx bracelets look with a ring. Of course, I could always skip the oynx bracelets or wear other bracelets. Sometimes I don't even wear bracelets at all, but I am never without a ring.
I've also been thinking about GMOP. There has been some gorgeous GMOP modshots posted in this forum recently which has me thinking about this stone. GMOP of course is not as harsh/bold as oynx, which in a way, that harsh/bold look is what I am seeking. I love a harsh/bold 20 in oynx. But GMOP is different in that it has this etheral iridescent glow which I love, and as you know, I'm a pearl girl. I'll have to play around with these stones and decide. I have tried on a 20 oynx in YG, but I have never tried on (or even seen) a 20 GMOP for me to even try on. All I have seen in real life is single WG GMOP motif as part of the Magic 16 necklace and Magic bracelet, again just a single motif, not a 10 or 20. By the way, I am really loving the WG 16 motif. I was thinking of getting it to wear with my WG 20 MOP. You also have a WG 20 MOP, so just a thought in case you like long long necklaces. I think those two would be a great swingy look.
Your MOP and oynx combo looks great! I love it; it's an eye-catching look and really pops. I saved your photo.

Sorry I was not clear on how I would wear the 16 motif. I like super long necklaces, as in, 1920s flapper style. I love the swing and how it elongates a person, but the super long necklace has to stay light and "airy". I was going to wear my 20 motif and the 16 motif both long, not wrapped/doubled. I don't think it will be too heavy as the 16 motif, even though it is long, is very airy. It's mostly chain with a few sprinkles of motifs. The 16 motif on a 47" chain is about one motif every 3 inches whcih is a lot spacing. Contrast that to 20 motif on a 34" chain, and that's about one motif every 1.7 inches. (The 5 motif bracelet is even tighter at one motif every 1.5" assuming the standard bracelet length is 7.5")
I asked my SA to bring the WG 16 motif in when I visit, so I hope he can find one. For some reason, I don't see many 16 motif modshots posted or even many 16 motif necklaces at the boutiques. Tons of 20s, but only one or two 16. My guess is most people are not crazy about the long length. For me, I love long necklaces (the longest necklace I have is 52").
I like your idea about stringing two long necklaces together at the clasp, but will they not lay flat near the neck (trying to visualize)?
Hmmm... I need to check it out! You may be on to something! Thanks for the tip!
Two 20's do lie flat at the neck--it's never been an issue. I assume you have two 20-motif Alhambra's . . . try it out and see if you like it.

The matching bracelets with your ring are beautiful. If you do the Onyx and WG set you could get the Pave and Onyx bracelet as second bracelet. That would be a stunning arm and hand combination with your Ring.
Looks gorgeous on you! You wear your pieces so well!

These are amazing omg. I love how the simple solitaire rests in hollow of the collarbone btw. This entire look is effortless chic all the way.
