Plus your mod

Dear@BigAkoya, thank you for your help. Today I stayed strong, didn’t purchase but tried these, no 20 MOP but she connected 10+2-5.
Here are my thoughts, I fancy blue agate but probably won’t reach for it much because it is not my vibe. The WG MOP is so beautiful and love the way it reflects light.

This is my perfect Carnelian from a cameo and Cartier ring, with the 5 motifs in the middle.

oh what an interesting idea! I think it might look very nice since much of the magic line is about sizing and material contrast.

I’m thinking of getting the magic onyx as it seemed to really suit me when I tried it on. I’d like to try MOP as well but I already have onyx and vintage earrings as they seem to suit me more than MOP.

Oo that would be a nice set! Would you layer the vintage and magic onyx pieces together?

 

[rosebean]

Does anyone have the MOP magic pendant and the onyx vintage pendant and have tried layering the two? Trying to imagine how that could look or if the contrast / size doesnt really work

@lxp727 well, I don't have MOP Magic nor Onyx VA, but I have the opposite, MOP VA and Onyx Magic. Here are a couple of photos, hope it helps a little, using your imagination switching color and size. As you can say, they both go well with Chardonnay or Champagne.

Thanks for posting these!! Such an elegant look and agreed on the champagne and Chardonnay especially like how you layered the two in the first example

I’d love to but it’s been kidnapped by my sis. She shops my jewelry like it’s her personal boutique.

Gorgeous! I am really loving the magic pendant. It’s so versatile!

@tenshix @880 @DS2006
Okay, here's my best shot at a mod shot. I stink with photos, so my apologies here, but you have to visualize a bit...
Here is my white cotton poplin oversized shirt, blue Pucci leggings, white Chanel espadrilles, and the 20+5.
I love the length of 20+5 on an oversized shirt. The shirt is long, 29", so the extra 7" from the bracelet makes the necklace 41" which really makes a difference. I must say though, I love the Puccis! I ordered them in every color and some repeats too.

For reference, I am not tall. If I stand up super straight, I am 5' 2", 108lbs, size 2. So yes... even "little people" can wear oversized shirts. I do like where the 20+5 lands; it's much better than just wearing the 20 alone. I drank the Kool-Aid; I like connecting! (as long as the clasps stays hidden).

love this entire look….your ring is fabulous

I noticed this too about a few months ago. I had actually thought that somehow I chipped the closure, but it looks fine. I just think it depends on the angle youre touching it. I also find that particular piece rather tight on my bracelet, but thats a good thing!

In the end , I sent it in for servicing checks. Not noticeable at all but i know not possible that I have accidentally chipped it either … I touched another new piece at the boutique, it didn’t feel as ‘rough’.

Does anyone have knowledge of special pieces at the Place Vendôme location? Other than the Sèvres Porcelain, of course.
