    I own both the Onyx and Guilloche pendants and its not hard at all to style the Onyx. It's black with gold so it literally can go with anything. The Guilloche is stunning and I feel like it's more formal looking than the Onyx. Love them both but for everyday wear, I tend to reach for the Onyx.

      Same. I also own the black onyx and the diamond Alhambra pendant and I wear the black onyx daily. It’s so beautiful and easy to wear.

      Me too. I went to the store to buy the Guilloche but ended up getting the Onyx coz it fits my day to day life. It’s very classic and go with all my outfits.

    The color of the gold is due to the karat, 18k is lighter compared to a higher karat of gold:)

    Hey guys, just wanted to add that i think its harder to style the stone pieces because gold is just a more versatile choice when it comes to jewelry. I feel like for the stones its kinda like buying a crystal necklace from a crystal shop.. ( obviously thats an extreme comparison ) but the crystals in my opinion are limited to a certain style and vibe. My two cents is that if im gonna buy something that expensive, i might as well save up more and wait for full gold pieces.

    Lovely review. I didnt know the guilloche is double sided! Kinda wish it was one side guilloche and the other onyx or maybe a fun stone like turquoise.

      Ya that would be cool. They actually have that for the ring. One side guilloche and one side carnelian. Pretty cool.

    • @ericachan1.0
      @ericachan1.0  Рік тому +1

      I like it but i would get it only after the guilloche piece. I think its a good layering piece, it adds a dimension since its textured. However i prefer the guilloche i think its prettier, classier and more elegant. Hope my opinion helps!

      Hey, thank you for watching my video :))
      Its holding up great! Definitely there are some dotted micro scratches on the clover but its inevitable. I dont ever take it off, it just sits on my neck but with the guilloche it just happens over time ! Even when you buy it in fact you will see the imperfections. But its still as shiny as ever:)

    Hi 👋 may I know which boutique you went to? Went to MBS a couple of weeks ago but they put me on the waitinglist for the guilloche yellow gold. I was deciding between that and the onyx. But since it’s not instock I didn’t buy yet. Now I’m thinking should I wait for that or just buy the onyx now 😅

      @@carlarodrigo2372 the guilloche does get scratched up easily im not even sure how cuz i for sure dont bang it and scrape it anywhere i just wear it in my neck without taking it off.. i guess it just naturally happens.
      The chain and clover is still as shiny as ever but you can see the small dotted scuffs on the guilloche.
      In fact when you buy it brand new you also see the scuffs. And the SA showed me 2 pieces at that time to choose from. They both had super tiny small dotted scuffs around the guilloche. To describe the wear and tear i would say there are more tiny dotted scuffs now ? But the necklace is still absolutely stunning and shiny, without close up inspection and nit picking on imperfections no one would really even notice it.
      I do not regret the choice of guilloche. Im glad i got this first over the other choices:) by far my favorite purchase of all time in fact haha
      Im very pleased basically❤️
