I absolutely love my GMOP vintage Alhambra pendant. I am very fair and it looks more striking on my skin tone than the WMOP. It can look black, grey, green/pink and even blue in some lighting. However, I am a person who loves sets and I’m sad that I cannot purchase matching earrings or a bracelet. SO not an option and don’t like to go the secondhand route. I knew this when I purchased it, so does anyone have any ideas? What pairs well with this piece? I find myself wearing it ALL the time.

So far things that I’ve seen in person that I like but don’t love are:

Louis Vuitton GMOP/RG earrings. To me, Louis Vuitton is about bags/leather goods and it’s not a jewelry house. I’m not sure if it’s a classic, timeless piece that just isn’t all too popular or what. Am I going to wish I put that 3,000k+ toward another piece?
I don’t know much about Louis Vuitton jewelry, so if someone knows more or has experience please enlighten me!
I don’t feel this way about my Cartier or VCA purchases. It’s the same way I feel about Gucci fine jewelry if that makes sense?

Chopard happy hearts bangle in black Tahitian pearl. I tried it on at Saks and I liked it but again, same as above, I don’t know if this is a piece that’s classic and timeless.

I thought about getting a second set, vintage Alhambra matching earrings and pendant or sweet Alhambra matching earrings and pendant. It’s not off the table, but I’m trying to embrace minimalism and focus on growing my money/investing and just enjoying a small capsule collection so I’m not too keen on this option.

Thoughts?

Would not rule out the secondary market, especially because you like sets.
If an earring or bracelet could be found by a reputable dealer, why not consider?
It's really what you would like so why not explore & see what turns up, JMO

I’m not ruling out the secondhand market, honestly just have a lot of anxiety purchasing secondhand and much prefer to buy direct from the brand. But I would be open to it with a reputable dealer.

I have the gmop pendant and the 5 motif gmop and honestly there’s is no substitute. The RG hammered is too coppery compared to gmop RG piece. I would recommend SO the gmop as you don’t like the pave RG one. I have this one as well and both look amazing with the pendant
