I am looking to get a 10 motif. I went to the boutique today and tried a few and I’m struggling to decide between MoP yellow gold, hammered yellow gold or possibly tiger eye. All of my current jewellery is YG (except for an old RG juste un clou which has basically faded to YG) so I would definitely want this however my SA didn’t have the hammered in YG but let me try a RG. I actually really liked the RG which was interesting as I always thought it didn’t suit me, but, there’s no way I can start my whole collection again!
My other VCA jewellery which I would consider wearing (although maybe not altogether) with the 10 is a YG perlee clover ring (original size), MoP 5 motif and hammered YG 5 motif.
Oh and I also tried on the perlee beads of gold bracelet which I did love but not sure I really really need another bracelet!
Any advice welcome!F47C5F40-C904-45BE-B94D-16A5F1DEC54E.jpeg0A5D9D8B-8A12-4B36-ACE1-973AD1B053B6.jpeg45D0EA45-7C3A-4E56-ACCC-D1DCCB9CD4A8.jpeg5DFCD6A8-F9E5-4007-886F-9D289E71D99F.jpegB4BA8193-1869-456A-8AD0-25E586186F40.jpeg

They all look beautiful on you and I think in this case there’s more than one right answer. It’s just a matter of the look you are going for.

I will say I may have a slight preference towards either the MOP or hammered gold and between those two, my choice would be the hammered gold. I have the hammered yellow gold 10 motif and I love it. One thing that I love about it is how durable it is being all gold. The MOP is beautiful too but isn’t totally maintenance free. The summer is coming, for example, and I wouldn’t wear sunscreen under the MOP.

All that said, they’re all beautiful and it reallly depends on the look you’re going for and which would suit your lifestyle best.

They all look beautiful on you!! Agree with the comments above, that since they all look great on you, perhaps go with what you think would work best with your lifestyle and daily looks (if you want to incorporate it into daily outfits). I think both the MOP and RG would be quite versatile for outfits (of course with more care needed for MOP). Good luck deciding!

All of them really look good on you, and I do love MOP but the hammered and the TE seem to stand out more on you. Can’t go wrong with any of them, if anyone of them sings more to you, buy that!

Was just going to say the same...The MOP brightened your face. The hammered looked good and will be durable, but when I saw the TE I let out a little gasp of YES! So my vote is TE.

I'm being honest here, none of them really stand out on you. They all tend to blend in, except the tiger eye.
I think one of the colored stones would look so beautiful, unless you are going for a more neutral look.

Depends on the look you’re going for. Hammered is more subtle but durable. MOP iis so pretty and pops more but tougher in the maintenance requirement. TE pops more and makes a statement with a bit of attitude but is it as versatile? What do you prioritize? Low maintenance first or pretty first or statement first? They all look beautiful on you but in different ways.

Ok first - all 3 look amazing on you.

Like others said, I think it depends a lot on your personality and what speaks to you.

If you prefer to be a bit more coordinated - I’d go with the hammered (but probably hold out for YG to match your bracelet). Plus benefit that hammered is so so easy to take care of.

If you’re classic - that MOP looks so pretty and classy on you. I personally like the slightly less matchiness of MOP + all of your other golds. And MOP/YG just speaks VCA classic. But yes, more delicate on care.

And that TE just pops - I personally find TE to be a great neutral, and very durable, but less of the ‘classic’ vibe and more ‘cool and sophisticated’. I love love TE in person.

And regardless of what you choose, I think you definitely need that perlee bracelet. It seems so simple / plain conceptually, but packs such a punch in a stack. I love the extra edge and texture it adds to your stack!

Keep us posted on what you choose :heart:

I love the MoP on you and it'll go perfectly with your 5 motif. The hammered RG looks a bit flat though but it's definitely versatile and hardwearing. I'd love to see you try on carnelian, I think the pop of red will look stunning on you!

Thank you all for your kind words and advice! It’s such a difficult decision to make… I think I’m now leaning towards either MoP or hammered YG. Although I really like the tiger eye, it wouldn’t match any of my bracelets….
Some of you suggested the coloured stones, I have tried the malachite and the carnelian before but I’m not sure…. I think the carnelian I tried wasn’t the best shade. I did actually like the malachite but I think I wood just be too worried about how delicate it is.
