Hi all,
Apologies to those who may have seen me post frequently in here as of late…First, I didn’t know if I wanted a VCA or a Cartier piece; then I knew I wanted a Cartier necklace and again posted asking for advice choosing; now I’m here second-guessing myself.
This will be my first Cartier piece; I’m celebrating many things and have saved up! I am stuck between the 2 diamond Love necklace (flat circle with 2 chains) or the baby Love / interlocking rings chain bracelet. (I prefer chain bracelets to cuffs or bangles and disliked the JUC, so this bracelet is the best option rather than any Love bracelets)
Both pieces would be near-24/7 pieces for me—I don’t intend on removing often, and want a simple, elegant everyday piece. I feel that I will get equal wear out of both.
I do feel like I am “missing” a bracelet in my wardrobe. I have several necklaces but not many bracelets. However, I also worry that maybe that’s because I’m less of a bracelet person than I think I am? I know that if I get the necklace I’ll wear it all the time even though I have many already. With bracelets, I’d obviously wear this if I bought it but I feel less sure about my personal style when it comes to bracelets if that makes sense. I just…feel like the necklace is a safer option because I know I’ll style it well, but I worry about regretting it because I’ve been saying “oh i have no bracelets, i have no bracelets”.
(Budget wise, I only am getting one thing, so buying both isn’t an option really. I did calculate that getting a Trinity cord bracelet in addition to the interlockig rings bracelet is roughly the same price as getting just the necklace, so perhaps that’s a solution? I also considered rings, but I rarely wear them and want something more substantial for my first piece. )
I’m just on the fence! I would love input from anyone who’s had a similarly tough decision or from anyone who feels strongly about one design or the other. My friends think the baby love rings on the bracelet are cuter, while I find the necklace design more unique, etc
