Alright I couldn’t wait to go try on, so what do you think? I tried on a YG and a PG regular love and a WG love cuff because they didn’t have YG or PG.

Verdict on the cuff: love how it looks from the top but when the bottom gets twisted around, the bottom of my wrist hangs out and I did not like it :sad:

Verdict on the small love: it just doesn’t look nice on be because I have bigger wrists and it looks like a little girl’s bracelet

Verdict on the loves: actually the same size as my JUC is better than one size up. Now I am wondering if YG or PG is better (YG is closer to my wrist). Still thinking about whether this is practical for me.

thoughts? Sorry I know this is a VCA forum but my SA doesn’t have the Perlee signature in stock in my size. Reattaching the perlee clover for reference.

These are helpful photos. I prefer the YG next to your JUC, but have you thought about getting a second JUC and wearing it the other way around so it is balanced?

The cuff doesn't fit, I agree.

that’s an interesting option, no I didn’t look at another JUC. I think I do prefer a more classic bangle style but I’ll keep it in mind!

If you’re not ecstatic about either choice, I’d suggest considering something else entirely. Have you looked at tennis bracelets? They layer nicely. If you don’t want to be too flashy a thinner one would still have lots of sparkle.

Oh, and congratulations on your career :smile:

I think that is a good suggestion. If you want more structure, this are lovely, too, and in the Cartier "family:

I’m curious what size your wrist is and what size your JUC is if you don’t mind sharing.

If the VCA is a bit too snug that is definitely out. I bought a VCA bracelet that was a tad tighter than I preferred and I ended up regretting it.

I would say the love out of the options is the best choice. Once you know you can tolerate 24/7. However I would make sure you love the same size as the JUC vs one size up. In the photos I like the fit of the rose gold more. It looks like it fits better but I like the yellow love to match your JUC. It could just be the angle of the photos though. Or are the two loves different sizes that you tried? Also consider the weather, season and time of day when you tried these bangles. Because we are in winter and swelling in the summer is not fun with a tight bangle!

thank you! And I appreciate the suggestion! To be honest, I have never tried on a tennis bracelet but they have always seemed so dressy to me. Maybe still good as a milestone goft

I like this a lot! Very understated. To that end, it might be so understated that I’m better off getting a similar style from an independent jeweler so as not to pay the Cartier price :)

yes I don’t mind, my JUC is a 19 and I can flip the bracelet entirely without taking it off, which the SA said is too loose for the love but fine for the JUC. I’m not sure how big my wrist is, maybe 18cm?

The YG love is a 19 and the RG is a 20. I agree, it is a terrible feeling to have swollen hands and tight jewelry! I’ll keep that in mind. I do think I need to get an inexpensive bangle to wear for a few days straight to see if it is practical for me.

I have a Love bracelet and I love it. I go running with my bracelet every day and it doesn't bother me (can always wear a sweat band if it does). I'm quite rough with my jewelry and it has quite a few scratches but to me that is the beauty of gold. The perlee bracelet looks a bit too feminine for me.

I also love the H cdc bracelet but will also wait to buy it to develop an H relationship (after lockdown is over)! I've lived in NYC and London, both cities with lots of people who buy/recognise luxury items and I've never had anyone comment on it. If they do, it's because they also have one.

How about Channel Crush? Curious to hear about it....

I actually tried it on recently and liked it a lot. I think the diamond one is actually "well priced" compared to similar diamond pieces from Cartier/VCA/Hermes. I didn't LOVE it though. Something about the quilting design on it seemed like seashells or something to me. I know that's not exactly the right description but I can't find the right words.

Sadly I didn't take a photo.

From your initial pro/con list, it seems you like the LOVE a lot more, and that you were considering the Signature primarily as a yellow gold bracelet alternative... Based on this, I will say LOVE for sure!
If you want something under the radar, you can also check out Chaumet (the BEE series, which I personally don’t love but may be to your liking), Bulgari, etc.

I think the perlee and the love cuff aren't good options. I like the fit of the rose gold love better, but like the yellow gold color better on you with the JUC. If that's not it, then maybe keep looking. I do think a diamond bangle (chosen in the shape/size you like) or tennis bracelet might be worth exploring.

Thank you! I worry that you're right that neither of these are the best choice... The clash is so cool, but I don't think it's an everyday bracelet for me. I haven't tried it on before, though, so I'll definitely try it when I'm in the boutique! As far as other bangles, the only ones that have caught my eye are the Hermes Kelly and CDC bracelets, but I'm waiting to purchase one of those. If there's anything specific that comes to mind as an everyday bangle please do let me know :smile:



Love the Hermes Kelly and CDC bracelets! I had only considered getting one from the boutique to build up my purchase history (since I'm not all that interested in homewares, silks, RTW), but I'll keep my eye out on pre owned sites!

There’s a new version of the clash bracelet which is flexible, it looked sooo gorgeous when I tried it on! Maybe you could check that out?
