I know what you mean. I love it. Here is the 10 motif. I WANT!!

And here it is with the white MOP IN WG. I prefer the chalcedony. But I would like to add the WG with white MOP.

The chalcedony stands out more. But I agree that a white MOP would be a staple.

Thank you @mol42 That rarely happens, seeing a piece and knowing that it is just YOU. It is so rare that I think I'm just imagining things. When I saw it on the first time a couple of weeks ago, I just thought, how unexpectedly pretty. Then I couldn't stop thinking about it, and I bought it within 3 weeks of seeing the chalcedony, although the version I fell in love with was the 20 motif.
When did you get the carnelian sweet? Pics? I love mine. I love staring at it too. What is it about these pieces that just GROW on you??

@LLJsmom well I picked up the sweet bracelet after the autumn moon festival. It was sorta accidental, certainly unintended. You see, I have the sweetest SA at NM, who sends me goodies from time to time. For Autumn Moon Festival, he sent the most gorgeous package of moon cakes and tea, with a little note asking me to stop by. So of course I had to:roll2: and I ended picking up the bracelet. DH says they are the most expensive moon cakes evah!!:cheeky:

I think these pieces are just so beautifully made, and the more you learn about the process, the more you appreciate the craftsmanship and it’s such a Sweet pleasure to just catch a glimpse of it throughout the day (at least that’s how I rationalize it!) Do you see the chalcedony 20 motif in your future? :twisted2:

How could you not oblige your sweet SA? There was moon cake! That’s ok. It’s only once a year... the sweet carnelian is totally worth it!

Yes. I totally agree with you. They are so beautifully made, with so much care and time. I love everything about it. I even especially love the chain. I was thinking of buying just the chain, which is polished so beautifully. The WG of the chain is soooo shiny. Trust me. I’m scheming to get the 20 piece in my life.:lol-2:

Hehe, I am tempted!
Hi @Phoenix , just to tempt you some more...
Here are some pics in the morning at my PT session.

Seriously though. If it wasn’t part of your original plan don’t let it sidetrack you! But if you love it I would love a twin. You will need to try on to be sure. I think it may look different on different skin tones.

@LLJsmom I ADORE chalcedony on you! The bracelet is totally gorgeous! Do you plan on having some links removed from the bracelet? I'm going to be an enabler and say, GET THE 10-motif!!! :love::love::love:
I was tempted myself after seeing your pics wearing the 20motif. :P2

Yes I will get links removed. Just waiting a little bit to be sure. And don’t want to give it up for 3 weeks. Thank you @CareBear !! Though you are an enabler. :twisted2:

I'd love to be your bracelet twin!:)) Would need to go try it on and would have to wait until I've satisfied my other wants first, ie. something "major" like a watch and/ or upgrade Holly, and then the Love bracelet, the Guilloche earrings, a LE onyx pendant, magic pave earrings, something Lapis. The list goes on and on, lol!

Thank you for the additional pics. It really is gorgeous!:love::love::love:

Coming back for another gander :love:

That cool violet-ey blue suits your colouring so well @LLJsmom :kiss2: and I LOVE the asymmetric, non-matching striations in your motifs!!

Have you had it shortened?

Are you still considering the agate?

Funny you should ask just now @yssie it is currently being shortened. I can hardly stand the wait.

I haven’t seen the agate IRL but it doesn’t go with my white gold pieces right now. It may work with my rose or yellow gold pieces at a later date if I want to build up that collection.
