I’m a bit confused on this and appreciate any advice.

I'd like to buy one nice piece of jewelry for myself this year. I have the VCA vintage alhambra pendant and 5 motif bracelet in malachite. I'm thinking of getting the vintage alhambra gold earrings (not malachite). Or something completely different.

Four figure $ range.
