Which Alhambra?

[daisygrl]

I am back, just when I thought I picked my perfect Alhambra. I was gifted with another Malachite Vintage Alhambra so I accidentally ended up with two. I can only keep one. Both are beyond beautiful. One is bold and dramatic and the other one is more traditional. Both are dark as I wanted them. Which one should I keep? Which one is more VCA style? I have been agonizing over them for a week now and it has gotten me nowhere so I came here to ask for a help.

Beautiful are beautiful. I love the contrast in the second on. Mala will darken over time so that one will keep contrast better.

Both are beautiful, but I LOVE the 2nd one. Nice problem to have.

I love the perfection of the first but the second is so dramatic. Tough choice

Malachite is lile chalcedony in terms of choosing the stones, for me.. they r all so unique. Choose the one you love most!

I like the #2

I’m going to go against the grain and say I like the symmetry of #1. You can’t go wrong though!

#2 for me!

#2 for me although both are beautiful.

Lol. My husband had a similar comment when I told him that I was "struggling" with choosing. First world problem, I know, but that is why we are here, to share our first world problems.
