My first ever 5 motif! Fell in love with the transparent nature of chalcedony. Now to just wait for resizing!!

Also my first time purchasing in store as opposed to online. Was such a nice experience- they even gave me a coloring book for my daughter.

Now I’m starting to second guess myself! I love the stone but I’m wondering if I should have gone with something in YG. I do wear WG jewelry as well, but the YG bracelet in the pic stays on 24/7. I’m not sure which wrist I will wear the 5 motif on.

I have MOP and GMOP single motifs and turquoise sweet earrings. What do you all think?

I love WG and the chalcedony is gorgeous. That said, for your stack, I think YG MOP would be gorgeous.
The iridescence in the MOP used for YG is second to none. It will look great against all your YG... it will just glow!
Maybe keep it and get the YG MOP for your stack. The YG MOP bracelet would also make a great set for your MOP pendant.

Thank you! I often wear a steel watch on my left wrist, which looks nice with the chalcedony and my wedding set is WG. However I worry a bit about the watch banging against the bracelet

I think part of my decision came from the fact that I’m seeing more and more MOP Alhambra out and about and liked the idea of something less common ‍

I think it looks great on you. The WG and brightness of the Chal adds dimension to your stack, and breaks up all the YG. I know some don’t like to mix metals, but if your wedding set is platinum, you wear WG jewelry sometimes, and always leave the other YG bracelets on; this will help tie everything together IMO.

Thank you!! This was all my initial thinking but I just second guessed when I woke up.

I appreciate your input! Would you personally wear this with YG MOP single motif necklace?

I probably wouldn’t wear the YG MOP pendant with it, but I would wear it with the turquoise sweets. I would take the chal bracelet off when wearing the YG MOP, and wear it with the rest of your YG stack.

I got lucky at the NYC 5th Avenue boutique due to better inventory today. I was able to try on a few pieces for my wishlist and pick from TWO different pink sapphire pave Frivole pendants! I am so excited to have taken this one home:

I also learned that I really liked the contrast of the WG butterfly earrings on me. I hadn’t considered them before but now will have to consider them for someday:

And finally, I love the Frivole pave earrings as well. Maybe those will be next…fingers crossed!

Great choice in the pink sapphire pave Frivole pendant! It looks lovely on you! Do you plan on getting the matching earrings or the all diamond version instead?
