It's difficult to capture the beautiful character of letterwood. It photographs darker than it looks in person. Additionally, the wood has a very shiny glass like polish.

So beautiful! I love the pink gold paired with letterwood.
Thanks SOOOO much TGG! Do you think the onyx limited earrings would go with it?
I think you could get away with the LE onyx earrings because they are also dark. I've placed my LE onyx pendant next to the letterwood for comparison.
Also, I tend to wear both my 10's clasped together (like a 20) so I love the slightly more casual vibe of the hoops.
VCA needs to offer more choices for pg.
So stunning TGG! I understand the letter wood only comes in pink gold. I have a question for you. . Which do you prefer? yellow gold or pink gold? What skin tones work best with the pink gold and yellow gold.
Hi TT, I have the 10-motif and I love it. Mine has darkened overtime but I love that it's set in PG. I have mine lengthened and I add my 5-motif bracelet to it to give it a longer necklace look. Here's an old pic from last year wearing it with the LE letterwood pendant
I'm swooning [emoji173]️
Soooooo enabling
Thank you!
What earrings do you usually wear with this set?
Thank you!!
I have the pave vintage Alhambra earrings in YG but I was tempted To get the LE onyx earrings. They perfectly match my pendant (which has turned very dark and may look like onyx from afar) and my whole set. Haven't decided yet. By the time I do, it may all be sold out!
OMG please tell us more about this
Did you have it made in RG or YG? It is hard to tell from the photo. I would love this in a 5 motif bracelet. Please provide details how and where you had VCA make this for you. I assume it was a special order. So beautiful!
Oh No!!! I wish I didn't see this thread! [emoji15] Now I will be considering some letterwood pieces next!
On very fair, pinkish skin tones (like natural red heads) I prefer the pink gold.
Both are very similar though and flattering to most. I think it depends on what you love.
Do the RG pieces turn more yellow over time? My rose gold Cartier love looks similar to my yellow gold one (6+ years later).
