Which VCA vintage Alhambra necklace? Please share your views

[weekender]

Hi All,
I am thinking of buying a VCA vintage Alhambra necklace for my 50th birthday.
Choosing between:
- white gold white mop necklace
- rose gold grey mop necklace

My only other VCA jewellery is the 5 motif white gold white mop bracelet.

I think my skintone can take all types of metals white/ rose/ yellow gold.
So the consideration would be whether to get a necklace that matches perfectly (but same) or to get the rose gold grey mop which i think is quite special and may stand out more as a single pendant necklace.
Will it look very odd/ mismatched when I wear the bracelet and rose gold grey mop together?

Would appreciate your thoughts and inputs. And if you have similar dilemma. Thank you in advance!

My SA told me that the grey mop pieces she has are mostly grey, very rare to get pieces with pinks.
I am also considering white gold chalcedony. Although i heard that it is also difficult to find a good piece.

Would like to hear your views please.

Thank you!

I love all three types you mentioned. I guess it depends if you want to match perfectly or not. I think the distance between your wrist and neckline allows to mismatch a bit, and some people like to mix metals- it just depends if you’d be bothered by it. I have a WG chalcedony bracelet and YG MOP earrings but don’t typically like to wear them together. I do own a couple outfits that pull in both colors though.

The chalcedony necklace is also gorgeous but I know people can get picky with striations and colors. Some really love this stone as a necklace because it helps with the throat chakra.

If you want to wear the jewelry separate, then maybe rose gold with grey MOP would work with some outfits that your white gold MOP bracelet doesn’t?

Good luck deciding! They’re all lovely options.

Thank you Colettebear for sharing your thoughts! Appreciate it.
Yeah a part of me is excited about the variety that rose gold grey mop offers, but at the same time has some reservations about the mixed metal/ stone.

GMOP is my absolute favorite stone and it pairs beautifully with mop yg as the iridescent hues are the same. For MOP wg the sheen is silver and doesn‘t pair as well IMO.

Hi all, i want to give an update to some of you who are so kind to offer your well appreciated opinion.
I ended up getting a hammered YG pendant! It wasn't in my original shortlist but I think it is quite sparkling with textures and i also like the idea that it can be worn all the time .
The SA told me that its quite "miraculous" that there is 1 piece available.

It’s beautiful, congrats! Seems like a staple piece that can be worn with many outfits and other jewelry pieces.

Hammered gold is beautiful. Great choice!
