Thanks for the reminder that I’ve owed you guys some photos.

Note that I am doing this with a 20 + 5, and when I’m wearing a 20 long, I like the length of the 20, so I have two extenders in the back, on either side of the 5. Otherwise I think it’s a bit too short.

The caveat being that I have a thin neck and long hair so you are not seeing any clasps or extenders. Also, I will usually wear this with a collared neckline.

Just got my bracelet delivered - ordered it online. Has anyone gotten this box before? I’ve ordered online previously and it came with a shopping bag, but my new purchase didn’t. Is the box a new thing?

Yes, this grey box comes with online orders. Im not sure why you didnt receive it last time (they might have been out of stock???) but its aways been a standard part of the packaging when Ive received an item from there. They are a nice bonus!

Question for those who have both vintage pave earrings and Guilloche earrings, which one is lighter, I have very sensitive and thin ear lobes?

Thanks …

This doesn’t quite answer your question but my lobes are sensitive too and the Sweets absolutely disappear on them (in a good way). My VA MOP ear clips still hurt from time to time if I haven’t worn them for awhile

Hihi! I have both. I found that the pave earrings are lighter! I had both posts changed to thinner posts as well as longer posts. Also adjust the tension as well. Guilloche is solid gold, so it is more substantial. You can feel the difference in weight.

I also have super sensitive ears. The original thicker, shorter posts would cause redness, pain and irritation (even bleeding ick!). Once adjusted, I can now wear them with Lobe Wonder stickers all day comfortably

Thank you so much @may3545 for your detail feed back! You’re so lucky to own both! I put in deposit six months ago for pave WG and still waiting. Started to think i
Should just get the WG Guilloche when it comes out in Nov. Which one do you reach for more often?

I have both and the pave Alhambra are definitely lighter. That being said I wear the guilloche a few times a week whereas the pave only come out once a month or so. Hope this helps.

Appreciate you posting this look!! I have this vision of multiple layers (more than the standard 20) of MoP - similar to pearls, but I like MoP better.

I love the choker plus long look. That’s the only way to wear layered necklaces IMHO.

Thank you for your feedback @Cliffslux! Any reason why you don’t reach for your pave more often? Do you find the Guilloche heavy?

I have sensitive earlobes as well and own both earrings.

I find the VA pave earrings to be slightly lighter than the VA Guilloché.

I actually think I wear guilloche more now because it’s newer to me. I tend to wear newer pieces a bit and then they are rotated more. I bought pave back in 2018 and wore those to death first year.

Exact opposite here! Got the Guilloché 2018 and wore them allllll the time. Got the pavè WG last year and can’t put them down since they’re newer

Do you ladies switch the watch to the right hand, so that you can handle the clasps of bracelets on the left hand easier ?

Yes. I did that and I got used to it pretty quickly. It's much more comfortable to have them on different wrists and watch is easier to handle on the right wrist than bracelets are.
