Vintage Alhambra Guilloche Pendant or Diamond?

[GoldenGlitter]

I already have the white MOP and it’s my favorite. I’d really like a second pendant… but not sure which to choose. I heard the Guilloche scratches really easily. Also — are there any other stones you’d recommend for the pendant other than solid gold or diamond? I just want something that will match almost anything and is good for daily wear. Even though MOP is supposedly delicate it hasn’t done me wrong so far. I’m not the biggest fan of onyx also so I think that one is off the table. Any suggestions?

Since it's a necklace, I'd go for Guilloche over diamond.

1) Guilloche does scratch easily but in pendant form it most likely will not be swinging around and hitting anything. (I doubt you'd go on a run in it or something.) LVloverCC on Youtube has both the Guilloche pendant and the bracelet. She showed both and mentioned how much less worn down the pendant version was than the bracelet. And in the video you can definitely see that the pendant is not as scratched up as the bracelet.
2) I don't like the design of the diamond Alhambra. If it were pave diamonds, then yes. But I personally don't like to see the diamonds with all those gaps in between.

Just my 2 cents. Good luck and happy shopping!

For white gold I would choose diamond, but for yellow gold the guilloche- it's so sparkly and eye catching

This is guilloche. I find it easy to match and so easy to wear! If possible, go into the store and try on the items. It’s just a bummer that sometimes, items are not readily available.
