What to choose as first vintage alhambra item?

[limonchello]

Hi, Im about to start building my jewellery collection and would like to ask what was your first/most used item?
I haven’t had a chance to go to boutique and try anything on, but so far im considering:
Vintage Alhambra pendant in mop or onyx
Vintage Alhambra earrings in mop or onyx
5 motifs bracelet in either mop/onyx/blue agate
Thanks!

I own several pieces from the alhambra collection and definitely reach for the 5 motif the most, plus you can actually look at it for fun, you can't do that with necklace or earrings. Blue agate is beautiful, especially if you can get one in a bright blue shade.

Thank, do you advice to shorten it or have one motif dangling?

I tried wearing the 5 motif with one motif dangling and it was very uncomfortable imo, but the sweet 6 motif I can wear it with a dangling motif just fine. Unless you really want to have the option to wear the 5 motif as a necklace, you should definitely shorten it for comfort and aesthetic.

Earrings! (my first piece was mop 10 motif) but I wear my vintage Alhambra earrings the most.

Bracelet because it’s viewable to your eyes all the time

Bracelet so you can admire and appreciate all day.
Then earrings to match.

It really depends on if you tend to wear earrings, pendant or bracelet more on a daily basis. The necklace is usually the popular choice for first timers but if you feel like you'd gravitate more towards the earrings or bracelet then go for that.
Personally, I never wear bracelets unless I'm going to a special event so my collection consists of only earrings and necklaces.
