Hi i need to choose a birthday gift :)
Which one would you pick a cartier piece ( regular juc or 1 small juc+ 1 small love) or messika bracelet or the bulgari serpenti.

Let me know where would you start?
My issue a little bit is that i think i’m between 17 and 18 in cartier- 18 feels too big, 17 just stays in one place. I havent tried the messika yet, bulgari was comfortable. I currently have a stack on my left arm, i love stacking but also i don't wear anything to my right, from time to time i wear the Tiffany T in silver.

I would get either the small love/small JUC, or regular sized JUC. Since it seems you’ve already had a few doubts about the Serpenti, I would probably eliminate that as an option. The Messika one is nice if you’re wanting a piece that’s less known.

The Serpenti is stunning and I would personally lean more towards getting the Serpenti - especially with the little accent diamonds. Although as you've mentioned it is more of a statement piece, in my view - it's really designed to be worn alone to make the most impact. Not sure if that does or does not suit your plans for it!

Serpenti : easiest to put on n off is a big winner for me ( now i enjoy changing out few x a week. Used to wear the same thing for weeks. Maybe now I have slightly more bracelets so I like to rotate them all).

Yes it’s a more statement piece among the rest you’ve listed which is precisely why I vote for that. And and and , it’s super comfy.

The serpenti is the most beautiful piece objectively. But the way you say "where would you start" makes me vote for the Cartier... they're the most basic, but they are a good "start" to a collection imo. You wouldn't get tired of them and would probably be happy to have them decades down the line.

I would personally choose between the regular JUC or the Serpenti.
I hate the SM version of the JUC and even more so when I have seen several practically new ones that are no longer perfectly aligned, I would go crazy, and the LØVE small by itself seems to me not to stand out.

Yes makes
Sense. When i put the small love i felt the same way. I’m heading to Nyc to see if i can try them one more time.As i think i’m between sizes in cartier, serpenti might be the best option.
