Bulgari Serpenti Ring or Bracelet?

[Emily1830]

Hi Jewelry and Bag lovers! I am planning out my 2024 purchases and I want to stick within my annual budget as much as possible ($15k max). I would like to add a Bulgari Serpenti piece but not sure if I should add the ring (5k) or the bracelet (11k). For some background, I have lots of bracelets (2 Loves, 2 JUCs, one VCA 4-motif, Cartier Etincelle, Clash, and some Hermes leather and enamel bracelets) and three luxury rings (VCA Perlee, Frivole between the finger ring, and a Messika Move).

I want to get a Moynat Gabrielle bag (5k) and a Cartier Clash ring (2.5k) too. However, I cannot get everything so these are my options:

1. MOYNAT bag, Clash ring, Bulgari ring
OR
2. Clash ring and Bulgari bracelet.

I’m adding some pics for your reference. If I got the bracelet, I’d rotate using the JUC and the Serpenti with the rest of my stack.

Thanks.

You have the length of finger to carry off the ring very nicely, but I really like bracelet for its own sake and proportions. Ideally, I would say get the set

Ha ha you see why I’m torn lol.

I love both as well and they are beautiful on you!

Assuming you love both equally; due to inflation and price increases, I’d say get the more expensive item first.

Please let us know what you end up deciding on with eye candy photos!

Given your stack, I suggest to get the ring (but the one with diamonds and I think it is available in a "smaller" version).

Thank you! Yeah I’m worried Bulgari will do a price increase soon so trying to prioritize according. Will definitely post when I decide!

Thanks! The smaller ring is gorgeous too but beyond what I want to pay for a ring.

I'd say get the Bulgari set and keep the rest for another year

The ring looks the best on you.
Bypass bracelets get on my nerves recently and are difficult to stack harmoniously, imo.
No wrong choices obviously

Normally I feel this way but I kinda want a new bag as I haven’t gotten one in a year.

I would prefer one of the two but maybe get the other one next year?

Thanks. One issue I had with Bulgari is their inconsistent sizing. I don’t know if a small would even fit my stack as I have yet to find one that does.

What size is your Love? I’m a 16 and the small fit me perfectly

I agree, it has a rather steep price but sometimes you can find a pre-loved one for a reasonable price.
