My SA sent me some items a few weeks ago.

I agree, the left with more striations!

The Left. I like the symmetry of the striations. And it's very crisp.

Lone voice of dissent here. I like the bracelet on the right because each motif starts at a darker shade and goes to a lighter shade, like a sort of ombré, I think it’s very unique. Ultimately, you’re never going to go wrong between either.

Agree. Right. I’ve never seen this, and I think it’s beautiful.

Thank you all Making my decision harder??? haha

Is it bad that I want to keep both? I am not sure if I would wear both at the same time… and that’s quite expensive for a duplicate. Maybe I gift one to my mother and we share custody of the pair 🤣 These photos are showing the ombré one, I haven’t taken any with the striped one yet.

Here is my pendant (photo with fuzzy blanket), It’s locked away right now so I don’t have easy access to it to compare directly with the bracelets but it’s definitely a lot more similar to the ombré one. I saw this very dark pendant in the store and I realized the dark emerald just doesn’t look as good on my complexion compared to the light, but I love the drama of the stripes.

It’s amazing how much malachite varies! I’ve seen pieces in the store that look so dull and flat due to the lack of striation and color change too.

What do they ask for when you take it to get it resized? Do they need the proof of purchase?

Does anyone know what is required when resizing your bracelet? I want to be prepared with what I need to take with me but not sure what is needed

Just your bracelet. You don’t need any paperwork, even if it is within the one year free resizing window, they will just verify using the serial number when it was purchased.
