Bulgari Serpenti

[Rami00]

Has any of you been offered to resize a Serpenti viper bracelet? some of you like @880, @Purrsey or @Rami00, etc. are Bulgari connaisseurs and / or have had their bracelets for quite some time. I am between an S and the M and the SA said I should purchase the M and a Bulgari goldsmith could make it tighter for me by 1/2 - 1 cm or so (the S is 15 and the M is 17. I would need a 16 / 16.5). I wear a sz 16 LOVE and my left wrist is 14.8, my right is 15.2 cms.
This means, the S almost pinches me and the M slides across my LOVE on the left and on the right always slides down and hits my hand which I can't tolerate.

By now I have read through this thread two times, but none of the posts mentioned anything like this...

I am a bit concerned - it would change the look as the tail and head would overlap more and what about the spring mechanism in the gold spiral that holds everything together/maintains elasticity???

TIA for your feedback. I really appreciate your input.

Interesting. I remember my SA explaining never to stretch the bracelet (the mechanism) won’t allow the bracelet to come back to its original shape, ever. I am thinking maybe that could be the reason of your SA suggesting to buy a size up.

For those who wear a size small perlee clover , 16 love, and 15 juc… which size did you go with for the serpenti pave bracelet? Small or medium? Which one pairs well with the regular perlee clover in size small?

My wrist is 14.8 cm and I wear a 16 LOVE and 15 JUC. The full pavé in S is too small for me, as the fit seems to be more round and less elliptical than the Cartier (at least the one I tried on). So I most likely need the bracelet in M which they would slightly have to resize to fit me better (see posts above).

However, I learned sth. really interesting from my SA in the meantime - all internal "spirals" that create the shape and elasticity on the inside are shaped by hand and hence never 100% consistent. I tried on two different Ms and one was halfway okay while the other was even bigger than the other. I even noticed that in the "overlap" between head and tail of the snake elements. The bigger one had almost one scale less overlap than the smaller one. So I believe depending on one's wrist shape the fit would be better or less favorable, even if the inner circumference may be the same. So trying everything on seems to be key. HTH.

For those that have a yellow gold love/juc and a white gold pave serpenti… can I see what it looks like paired with each other? Or do you prefer yellow gold?

I don’t wear them together, but tried just to make a picture. Seems like an interesting combination

If you wear yellow gold jewelry (love, juc, perlee clover) and were to buy the pave serpenti… would you buy it in white gold or yellow gold pave?

I currently have a yg plain love, yg juc with partial diamonds, and yg diamond clover perlee bracelet. After drooling over the pave Serpenti for many years and debating whether I should get a yg or wg one, I decided to get the yg one to stack with my other yg bracelets. The wg one is gorgeous as well and feels more blingy and dressy to me whereas the yg one I can see myself wearing more often.

I only seem to find the rose gold in stock in my local stores and wow it is SO pretty! It’s such a subtle rose gold and still allows the diamonds to shine.

I can’t decide if I should go with a yellow gold or a rose gold to go with my mostly yellow gold stack.

I worry that the yellow gold will make the diamonds look less sparkly and more yellow-ish (since I’ve never seen it in person.)

For those who have the yellow gold, how did you decide? The rose gold looks great mixed with yellow gold bracelets too (I think.)
My JUC and normal love are in yellow gold in this pic. My alternating diamond love is in rose gold and most of my jewelry is in yellow gold (few pieces in rose gold). My perlee clover is in yellow gold (not pictured.)

I’d love some advice since I can’t seem to find the yellow gold in store.
Do you prefer rose gold or yellow gold?

I was debating back then as well When I tried on YG and RG in the store both looked great. I’m not a RG person normally but I found Bvlgari’s RG less pinky than I thought and has a more subtle rosy tone, which’s really nice. And like you said it blended well with other YG jewelries. On the other hand I think serpenti’s YG is a bit more yellowish/golden compared to my love bracelet. I got YG in the end because all of my necklaces/rings/bracelets are YG, not sure I’m good at mixing metals so YG seems like a safer choice no regrets since then and gives me so much joy when I see the sparkles on my arm.

Hope you can get a chance to try out both. Such a tough choice and both look beautiful. Have fun deciding!

I have tried and compared both the rg and yg pave Serpenti bracelets. rg tends to blend into my skin more because I have pink undertones whereas yg stands out more against my skin tone. I do have some rg pave bracelets from other brands but I personally don’t like to mix the yg and rg bracelets in the same stack (unless it is a very thin rg pave bangle where the difference in metal colors isn’t too noticeable).

I’ve been told that the YG Serpenti is only sold in certain regions such as the US. I could not find the yg pave bracelet in Europe or Asia (or the yg partial diamond ones either). Even in the US, the stock of YG is lower than RG per my SA. My SA had to request a bracelet to be brought into the store for me. You can ask ur SA if they can bring one in for u if u live in a region where the Yg pave Serpenti bracelet is available. That way u can compare it to the rg pave and decide which one u like better.

Here is a pic of my stack with the yg pave Serpenti. I don’t feel like the diamonds look less sparkly or more yellow in the yg version compared to the rg version.

I went with yellow gold because it just looked better with my yellow gold jewelry. I think the diamonds still look bright and white. However, since you have both metals in your stack already you probably cannot go wrong with either. Looking forward to seeing what you decide!

What size did you go with

 

[myztic]

Does anyone have the rose gold serpenti full pave bracelet but vca yellow gold clover and mostly yellow gold jewelry?
It seems much easier to find the pink gold in stock and the yellow gold has to be ordered in.

Also if you have a yellow gold clover and pink gold pave serpenti would you mind posting a picture so I can see what it looks like in combination? Thanks in advance.

I wear a love size 16, the small serpenti fit me the best.

I am debating adding this Serpenti bracelet to my Cartier stack. How do they feel worn together? Do they overlap a lot or cause scratches on Love? Also, what is the weight like on the Serpenti piece? I've heard it feels less substantial than Cartier.

It's a toss up between this Serpenti and the full pave Love bracelet for my 40th, but I do have a couple of years to go.

They feel good! For overlap I think it depends on the size you go for. I like more movement for my love so it can slide a bit. The small Serpenti is more fitted and tended to stay more in place. They did not overlap but if both bracelets were on the bigger side, I could see that potentially happening.

The Serpenti does feel more on the lighter side due the the more hollow construction of the flexible design but I prefer that. I’m not too fond of heavier stacks.

I think I saw a YouTube video that compared the Serpenti and the pave Love and diamond-wise you’re getting more bang for your buck with the Serpenti. I believe it has more carats than the pave Love.
