I am also a “YG person”, but for the serpenti I went for the RG (and later the WG). One reason was that only the RG had ready stock in my country (YG had to order), but the more I thought about it, and felt the YG in serpenti design seemed a bit more traditional, while the RG was more modern and feminine/sweet. One thing to be aware of tho — if you like to stack bracelets like I do, it would be a bit more challenging given that the rest of your collection is mainly YG. I would recommend that you get the VCA RG perlee pearls of gold bracelet, which goes very nicely with the serpenti!

Thank you! you expressed it far better than me! There is something about the rose gold that is just so feminine, which I really love. It isn’t pictured here but I also tried the RG on my left wrist solo where I only wear my yellow diamond wedding set on my ring finger and nothing else. The yellow gold seemed more “blingy” and more distracting from my wedding set than the RG, which blended so seamlessly with my wedding set and looked stunning whilst my yellow diamonds remained the star of the show. It felt much more complimentary. However, I do really like the YG with a stack (though I was wearing a very simple stack when I tried it as left most of my jewellery at home as don’t like to be too flash when I travel).

Thank you for the VCA recommendation! I had thought the perlee or similar would help balance it out if I went for RG. I just bought a grey MOP / RG pave Alhambra which I also thought would look stunning with the serpenti (though maybe not on the same wrist). This was my first RG piece and I was again surprised how much I loved it. I don’t currently have any other RG pieces.

As an aside, what I love about the serpenti and had not appreciated previously is how dreamy the mechanism is to make it easy to get on and off! Usually I stick to a regular stack I as I cannot be bothered to undo my bracelets but this will be so easy to switch between wrists!

Really I want both :confused1::confused1:. I’m trying to justify it on the basis that I had thought for my next big purchase I wanted the diamond Cartier panthere but having tried that piece I felt underwhelmed… particularly as I realise I can have both the YG and RG serpenti for not much more than the panthere.

Great minds think alike haha. I actually have the grey MOP/RG pave as well — but have only ever worn it as a necklace. Here is an old picture of mine with it plus the perlees with RG serpenti if you would like to see how the styles mix :smile:

Hi Bvlgari community!
Love all these shots of the serpenti collections! I was wondering if any one has purchased the Divas' Dream Earrings in rose gold with MOP? If so, would you please be kind to share a shot of what it looks like in person and the wear and tear? I've been contemplating on buying these earrings, but I couldn't find reviews of it anywhere! Much appreciated in advance!
 
Has anyone seen the new serpenti bracelet that has no diamonds in person? It only seems to be on the us website.
I haven't seen the bracelet in-store but I just discovered the new pieces last night and could not purchase the Viper ring without diamonds fast enough! The simplicity is gorgeous.

My SA said they’re already available in boutiques. I have yet to visit the boutique, perhaps next weekend.

I am so happy Bulgari finally released these new Serpenti variations without diamonds! They even come in white gold and not just pink and yellow gold!

I do wonder why they never promote these new variations because I’m pretty sure they will sell better than the ones with diamonds due to its price point - I was so shocked to see them last week on the website.

It’s not a US only offering though right? I am going to europe this summer and I would rather buy it there for less money…
For some reason I like it either in full diamonds or no diamonds, not a fan of the few diamonds at the ends of the bracelet (unlike the cartier juste un clou, I think that really makes the bracelet shine with those few diamonds). Full diamonds is a bit fancy for everyday in my opinion, so yay for the plain version!
Do people have issues with scratching the non diamond ones?

I have. It's in the boutiques. I was not a fan honestly. The head looks off. I know all of these pieces with small diamonds are sooo much more. It's criminal, but the make a huge difference!

I bought the RG serpenti tubogas bracelet, diamond head and tail. It’s large, so I don’t stack, but the RG is subtle enough that I have no qualms about wearing YG on my other wrist or neck. The RG has nice warmth and glow. Here is a pic (I am trying on a VCA buton d’or pendant necklace which I do not own), I’m also wearing a serpenti viper ring. Bulgari is bringing in the tubogas necklace for me to try.

like any flat surface metal, it will scratch. My hinged bangle with intermittent diamonds and flat scales have superficial scratches. I would choose full pave. Try VCA signature bangle… it has elevated pearls on the borders that protects the metabl body from direct contact/friction. This is why im never a fan of cartier love except the full pave ones.

Is it actually cheaper to buy Bulgari in Europe? Last I checked it was about even, if not more, after customs taxes. Just wondering if I am calculating everything wrong!

Depending on the country and the price of what you’re buying you would get about 10-17% tax refund. Almost everything is cheaper there for this reason. For example full pave serpenti bracelet would be about 7k cheaper there than in the US.
