Cartier + Bvlgari Serpenti

[sjunky13]

I pulled the trigger on a PG 4diamond love today and tried it on with the demi pave Serpenti. It looks amazing!
My Cartier sa and I went to Bulgari and she even liked it better than the JUC! It will be my next purchase.

I would get the Demi pave if you can and stack it with your diamond love. Wear the other pieces on your other hand!
The Serpenti has it's own texture and the Clash and Ecrou also have texture and all together it is confusing.

Exactly. It is so sad when everyone else looks fabulous with something and it falls flat when you try it on. The viper did not work on me, and I adore it on @Cool Breeze and other TPFers. Though it can be even worse (for the wallet) when you try something on that you assume will not work, and you find that you surprisingly really like it. (Like when I tried on a buton d’or pendant necklace below at VCA). I normally mix a PG Bulgari serpenti tubogas bracelet, serpenti viper ring with Verdura Belperron and sometimes a Foundrae necklace.

I hope you took pics of the love with serpenti! Would love to see.

I think the bracelet looks beautiful and compliments your stack. One thing I remember when I purchased my serpenti ring in Paris was that the company can and will adjust your size if it’s a small amount. If you do it within your purchase window, I believe they can do it for you…at the worst you can pay a small fee for them to adjust the size.

Good luck!

Hi wise ones, would like to discuss some thoughts/ideas about Bvlgari Serpenti..
I've been thinking about this bracelet for a while but never actually went on to try it.
My most wearable stack right now is Cartier clash 16 + Ecrou 17 and sometimes love bracelet 17 with 4 diamonds as a divider between them but rarely.

So I went to Bvlgari today to finally try on Serpenti. I was surprised to see quite big difference between M and S sizes:

Size S was quite snug on me and it was obvious it would not work as I like my bracelets a bit loose.
The problem is that size M was too loose in my opinion. It looked larger than my Ecrou and I had difficulty seeing how it would fit into my stack.
Here are some options which I tried:

1) Serpenti at the bottom.
I thought this is the best way because I always wear Ecrou at the bottom since it runs a bit large, definitely wider than Clash.

2) Serpenti in the middle: not sure, I thought it's a bit meh because Serpenti is squashed in between the two..

3) Serpenti on top: did not like very much because it needs Ecrou to be on top of Clash and that does not work very well due to sizing but maybe I am wrong?..

Just Serpenti on its own:

What do you think? Which version looks better? Or do they even look good at all?
I was also a bit disappointed how lightweight the bracelet was. I understand it needs flexibility but still... So I walked out of the store without buying and fairly sure I need some extra time to think and brainstorm...
