Advice needed on Sweet Clover WG bangle please

[belleyin]

Dear all,
I currently have the following VCA items:
YG Perlee single row diamond bangle
WMOP 5 motif Alhambra Bracelet
Vintage WMOP YG Alhambra earring
Lucky Alhambra earrings (WMOP with the Tiger's eyes butterfly. A bit of a repetition I know, but I love the butterfly too much to pass it up)
Malachite Vintage Alhambra Ring
2024 Holiday Pendant

Small pave Frivole YG earrings
Small pave Frivole YG pendant

My SA is recommending me to start a WG collection and to perhaps place a deposit before the price increase. She recommended a few pieces:
1.WG sweet clover bangle - Am afraid of getting scratches in the mirror polish surface and tbh not love at first sight unlike the single row diamond perlee bangle
2. Two Butterfly Pendant in Pave WG (at this price point would it better to get a sweet clover bangle)
3. Two Butterfly Earrings in WMOP (I already
4. Two Butterfly Pendant in Turquoise - brings out my skin tone but seems like a delicate stone to care for like the malachite and a little difficult to match clothes
5. Two Butterfly in Pink Sapphire (really pretty but the rose gold makes my skin looks a little dull)

Other pieces I may be considering to complete the Frivole collection would be Frivole ring or Frivole bracelets.

And at the back of my mind I would love to add a Love bangle (WG or RG) due to low maintenance needed, but would need to stretch my budget!

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Two butterfly in pink sapphire

Turquoise all the way!! It looks so beautiful with your skin tone and is instantly recognizable of VCA. It will match with most things esp jeans.

Depends on the look you want. This is what I see:
MOP - most subtle and soft
Pink sapphire - most feminine and girly
Diamond - blingy, bold, not necessarily feminine compared to the others.
Turquoise - fun

For the record, I have the turquoise which I don’t wear much just cause I’m not a pendant person. But it’s so pretty…

Agree with your observations above

1. Not love at first sight, so trust that instinct.

2. If you are already questioning the price point, value, don’t get it

3. As you say, you already have WMOP

4. Delicate and difficulty to match. It’s a no.

5. More than one TPF member has bought RG, only to regret it for this reason.

6. I would honestly save more for the WG love. It sounds like the one that checks all of your concerns

ETA: not really a fan personally of the sweet clover myself.

Do you love and want WG pieces or is your sales associate trying to convince you?
I think the wg pieces you tried on look beautiful but you don't sound excited about any of them, so don't feel pressured. Wait until you find something you love, whether it's vca or not.

Thank you all so much for your insights! My SA and I both felt that I have 'enough' YG pieces and it may be time to explore creations in other metals. I've tried other bracelet in RG but find that VCA RG don't match my skin tone. I haven't tried the WG Sweet Clover personally so I'm a bit unsure, due to the mirror surface being easily scratched as I'm not very careful with my jewellery. Deep down I still prefer Perlee single row diamond, and even considered saving up for the WG version, but sadly I can't place an order for it. As for the Love bracelets, I've tried the WG and RG version in store but still on the fence due to the investment required. Would love to hear your comments!

If the single row makes your heart beat faster then I recommend saving for this piece instead of settling for the Perlee sweet. Are they discontinuing the single row or it’s production is slow?

Hi. I vote for butterfly 🦋. Pink sapphire or turquoise they all seem to get along with you as earrings and pendant. Or WG paved if you prefer neutrals. I love too the WG single row Perlee bangle so why not wait as they are scarce but may come later ? If your heart loves this one better wait. I don’t think that pink sapphire butterfly does blend on your skintone … but of course the color is looking more fading than TQ on any skintone 😌

My SA told me that it can't be ordered and the boutique rarely sees the Single row diamond perlee over the past few months. And I already have the YG single row perlee which I love so it's like a repetition.

I love butterfly too but the price point is .I also love pink and tried on the pink butterfly pendant and earrings but not wow enough for me to make the purchase!

I think you should hold off until you are wow’ed. You’ll know when the time comes.

When I read these inquiries, I usually find the OP already knows what they want, and they are seeking affirmation - nothing wrong with that. Sometimes the affirmation is not there, but I can tell the OP is very happy with their final decision.

I think I saw a similar inquiry in the Jewelry Thread recently. From what remember, the OP was wowed by the panther ring, members steered her otherwise to her other choices, but at the end she bought the panther ring (going against what members suggested). I think she made a good choice, because she clearly loved it.

I then would get sweet perlee over any version of the butterfly necklaces.
