I just bought the rhodonite holiday pendant from VCA, and realized I don’t have any other rose gold pendants. Meanwhile, Bulgari has sooo many beautiful rose gold items and I don’t own anything from the brand.

Anyways, I was looking at the serpenti and diva pendants, since they’re both very close in price.

Thoughts on which one you would buy?

I like the sexy serpenti, but worry that the malachite eyes means I would have to take extra care of it. I feel like it might be better to just save up and to get the pave, rubellite version of the pendant a few years down the line, since it would be less maintenance.

The diva seems a bit more wearable every day. And I like the shape a lot. But maybe it’s not as iconic. There are also a lot of different sizes of the diva pendants, so I’m not super sure which size I should get.

Anyways, I sadly don’t have a Bulgari in my state, so I don’t know how either would look on me. So I’m looking for any insight you may have on these pendants.

I love both the Serpenti and the Diva collections. I was actually looking online just last night to find out the history of the diva motif, because I wanted to know if there is some background story to it. Apparently, it is it is a motif that was found in the ruins of historic Roman baths and has been iconic to the brand for years.
I have the pave diva earrings and get a lot of compliments on them because they are very pretty, but not a lot of people recognize the brand. I have been thinking about getting the pink sapphire diva pendant as well.

I feel like the snake is a bit edgier, the diva a bit softer looking.
Both look really nice but yes probably can't wear the snake in the shower because of the malachite

Definitely no wrong choice here. From what I understand, malachite as an earring/necklace is very low maintenance (in comparison to a bracelet or ring that could get knocked around) so I would not let that sway your decision. I love the serpenti line so I always lean towards it. However the diva is a more understated/elegant design so it's just a matter of deciding the mood youre presenting.

And so I tried on the ring and bracelet.

I tried on between hands. I feel the bracelet looks better being alone (at least I don't think they pair well with what I have currently).

The feel of the bracelet is wonderful on the wrist, even better than let's say compared to Cartier JUC and even Love, due to their design structure. It groves nicely on me with size S. Slides up down a little but it stays upright. I think it's a perfect structure for my wrist shape, imo.

But I'm not sure when I can wear it lol. It's so bling!!View attachment 5173309View attachment 5173310View attachment 5173311View attachment 5173312View attachment 5173313View attachment 5173314View attachment 5173315

Omg! Serpenti is breathtakingly GORGEOUS on you esp with the matching ring. :) Do you think it's casual enough to wear with jeans on a daily basis?
