1 VCA Sweet Alhambra or 2 Cartier Legers bracelets?

[Mimicatz]

Hi all, please can I have your help in deciding the below.

I am looking to either buy 1 VCA Sweet Alhambra bracelet (carnelian in Rose gold, plain rose gold or white gold turquoise butterfly, gold jewelry doesn't suit me) or 2 small Legers bracelets for stacking (1 white gold and 1 rose gold).

What's your thoughts on these options? Which option would you say is more eye catching and best for everyday use? Many thanks for your input in advance.

..would buy the Legers, beautiful and so sparkly!

VCA Sweet Alhambra still has more presence then 2 Diamant Legers. Thus, there is no need to layer Sweets asap, while Legers def better to layer. However, the later ones will have a sparkle while carnelian hasn’t. So, with that being said, I’d choose Diamant Legers to carnelian Alhambra, but turquoise or WMOP to Cartier. Again, that’s my personal preference.

Hi !
Might not be the right thread but I’m gonna do it anyway

I’m about to purchase my first branded jewellery and I’m in between a small diamanté leger or a rose gold sweet alhambra necklace

I don’t usually wear jewelries. I always have earrings. Love wearing necklaces when I go out and bracelets. I would like an everyday necklace but has that presence to it. I couldn’t try the sweet alhambra since we don’t have a VCA store in our state and I had to fly to Sydney for it.

I happen to have tried on both those necklaces when I was looking for an everyday gold or rose gold necklace last year. here are the pics if it helps!size small and large for the diamant leger.
If you don’t already own a diamond necklace, I would say go for the Cartier. It is super versatile and pretty ,with a good sparkle! Such a good classic. If you want presence go for the large version.
The sweet alhambra is cute but more discreet, it blends into the skin.
I personally went for something different in the end: the small frivole necklace from VCA. I already owned a Cartier 1895 necklace in white gold so I wanted something diferent, otherwise I would have gone for the diamant légers for sure! Still on my wishlist .

You’re a gem ! Thank you so much. I wanted to try the rose gold sweet alhambra before I buy it and I want to go through the whole buying experience so I’m leaning more towards the Cartier one and maybe get the VCA post covid.

Thank you !

I totally agree with this. The frivole mini is much better than the sweet Alhambra.

I have and love both but if I had to choose I’d go with the VCA they’re just so iconic and I love the pop of color they add (if colored stones are chosen)

Beautiful necklaces! I am having the same dilemma here. tbh, by looking at the photos, there is no major difference between the small and the large size. Actually I could hardly tell the difference between the two. Is there a major difference in real between the two sizes? (can't go in store and check due to lockdown)

I thought of the same thing as well ! I am yet to try it on :/

The photo is slightly misleading because of the zoom but yes, there is not a huge difference. You definitely notice it IRL, the large is more substantial but it is not proportional to the price gap between the 2 at all.
Both are definitely dainty necklaces.
The small is probably better value for money . But I still would have gone for the large I think if I had chosen this one, it does bring more of a sparkle. Also depends on your style and your size!

You guys the struggle is real. I am looking to add a bracelet to my current stack. I currently have the small love and small JUC diamonds bracelet. Looking to add either a sweet Alhambra in MOP or a Cartier diamants legers single diamond bracelet. Help me decide!!

The diamond is a great basic. No lie. But the VCA is straight up beautiful. The more you stare at it, the more you will appreciate it. My 2c. But watch out. The sweets are usually the gateway drug for vca. If you’re not ready for the rabbit hole, I’d say just do the legers.

To be honest both variations are beautiful. The diamant legers is more practical as there is definitely to restrictions in regards to shower, parfume, lotions etc. That tiny Cartier logo hanging is gorgeous. With Cartier Love and JUC I’d rather stick to Diamant Legers as it’s carefree option. The sweet, however, is so feminine and MOP under different lighting looks different. Since I do prefer dainty jewelry, here is comparison.

Didn’t try necklaces, but noticed that the chain on Diamant Legers bracelets varies depending in the size of diamond. The bigger the diamond is, the thicker the chain is. To match the chain thickness of VCA bracelets, I opted out for a smaller diamond.
