Bulgari Serpenti - what should I choose?

My collection is 95% yellow gold. The only white pieces are my engagement ring, wedding band and a pair of earrings, all pave. I was thinking white will bring versatility, while yellow blends in nicely.
Judging by your skin color, rose gold would look best on you. I got this bracelet in white gold, looks very dressy, also a half pave one in rose gold.

You are right! Rose gold blends in with my skin. I only have one single earring in rose gold and every time I wear it I feel that it compliment my face and makes it look very soft. However, all of my other pieces are yellow or white. So the rose was the option I eliminated First:( I’m not sure if I will like mixing it with other metals. I have been very confused for a while lol

Please help, white or yellow.
So I have this bracelet in wg and sometimes I regret not getting it in rg. I wouldn’t pay attention to which looks best,
but instead which works more with your outfits and other accessories. Sometimes it annoys me when my jewelry isn’t matching my bag hardware (I know matching jewelry and bag hardware is outdated thinking- I’m just a little ocd about it for no valid reason).

ETA I also agree that wg makes it look extra dressy

I also started building my collection in YG, until both my mom and husband told me that rose gold looks much better on me. I still love and wear my YG pieces, but most are RG at the moment and I also have some in WG. But if you have many items in YG already, switching is not an option I guess.
I personally think that pave serpenti is not good for stacking, it looks best on it’s own. So if you have or plan on purchasing a WG ring, maybe you’d like to have a little more variety in your collection and get it in WG.

I like the contrast of YG on your skin tone. :smile: And it compliments most of your other pieces. I also feel that YG is more wearable every day.

I wish it just came in one color lol. I like to match my hard wear and jewelry as well, it looks more harmonious. I regard white gold serpenti as a tennis bracelet that can be blended with anything, or worn on its own.
Based on your recommendation my choice should be yellow. Thank you 🙏

Thank you! I just reflected on my wishlist and realized that all the items on it are also in yellow. So future looks very yellow for now, unless I reconsider my preferences, which is very possible. I agree that white looked stunning on it’s own.

I agree. I think I gravitate toward yellow gold, and I’m trying to make sure that it is the right choice for me. I appreciate alp the great advice and opinions. It is very helpful!!!

Have you gotten your Serpenti bracelet? Any mod shots to show & share? I love this to death but my current budget doesn’t allow me to pull the trigger…..

I have not gotten it yet. I got anther bug in my head. Now that I know I want serpenti pave in yellow gold, I started contemplating between serpenti or jeweled Rolex DD president 36 in yellow gold. I know they are very different and one does not substitute the other but I’m not sure which to buy first. Either one will get me on tight budget for about a year or two. Again, any opinion is greatly appreciated.
