Hello all, I am between the Boucheron serpent boheme bracelet in mother of pearl or the Buccellati opera bracket in blue enamel. Both very different but I'm having trouble deciding! Any thoughts?
Buccellati or Boucheron bracelet?

Both are beautiful!
Are you planning on wearing it daily? Will you stack with others or wear alone?

The Boucheron looks to be more useful in styling/wearing because there are four open rings to clip into to make it smaller and close to the wrist to stop it sliding around and the stones would stay visible on top of your wrist.
The Buccellati doesn't have that so the main decorative station will probably fall under your wrist because it's heavier than the other stations? So you'd just have the clasp on top of your wrist? Unless it's a close fit and wouldn't move around? In my view, it's better to have a bracelet that is the same all the way round so those issues wouldn't occur.

I agree with @MiniMabel regarding the ability to resize the length due to the ringlets.
However, to wear a mother-of-pearl piece everyday does make it at risk for getting cloudy over time when exposed to water when hand washing and moisture from the skin. And MOP is not the strongest stone. It’s a 3.5 on the Mohs scale which makes it susceptible to scratches or cracks. I’m not a careful person and am very hands on. I work, clean and cook with my bracelets on. I can hit my bracelets quite often which is why my daily bracelet pieces are all solid gold.
Just something to think about!

Thank you! There is a Boucheron bracket in onyx and rose gold. Would that be a better option for daily wear?
I think the boucheron is more versatile but the buccatelli is more interesting. You can't go wrong, both good choices!
Both are pretty but i think better to try at store and feel it for yourself if that's possible. Sometimes pictures only it's hard to "feel" the look.
Agree on the mop. Always always forget about mop if you plan to wear 24/7.

Wow, those are both beautiful bracelets! I can see why you are having trouble deciding. They are very different in style and color, so it really depends on your personal preference and what you want to wear them with. Here are some of my thoughts:
- The Boucheron serpent boheme bracelet is more delicate and feminine, with a subtle sparkle from the mother of pearl. It has a classic and elegant design that can go with many outfits and occasions. It also has a symbolic meaning of protection and wisdom.
- The Buccellati opera bracelet is more bold and colorful, with a striking contrast between the blue enamel and the gold. It has a modern and artistic design that can make a statement and stand out. It also has a cultural inspiration from the Italian opera.
