I vote for the serpenti! It’s on my wishlist. I have the half pave Kelly and while very pretty, doesn’t really compare to the serpenti.
Cartier panthere, bulgari serpenti, or Kelly bracelet?

I’d go with the serpenti unless you’re also trying to get brownie points for a coveted H bag
The serpenti is amazing! Mine is in PG though. It works well alone or stacking with other bracelets, versatile. For similar price you get a lot more bling compare to the panthere or Kelly!
Stunning. Love this stack on you. I agree you get so much more
Bling. I’m going to make an appointment to try this one first. Thank you for sharing your stack!
Yes.. They told me that a small one is a 15 size, and medium is a 17. But I don’t think being in between is a reason not to buy this beauty.. It is in my wishlist for quite a while
I can share my story with you as I struggled a bit with the sizing on mine. The SA said every piece is different even with the same size as these bracelets are made by hand.
M was a bit tight, so I got the L. (I wear Cartier love size 18)Later when I visit few boutiques I found mine is larger than the average L on display. Then I lose some weight and the bracelet is even looser, I am told this serpenti model is not resizable. However, they should be able to repair easily (they had a client’s accidentally pull the bracelet straight) but it can only return into its “original” shape.
so I did some research and seems that the “shape memory alloy” is quite indestructible so if it can be pulled straight then I could bend the bracelet smaller (not recommending anyone to do this to their bracelet) and it fit alright now.
my point is... be careful with the sizing when you purchase and mine is quite sturdy, I had it for a year and it doesn’t seem to loosen easily.
I always thought i wanted the love bracelet but then realized i’m not so comfortable with them- i tried the Serpenti i think its more comfortable as its flexible.And the diamonds are potential:
All diamond version is too much for daily wear imo.

I really wish they would make the serpentine with alternating diamonds. That would be a dream. They make it with alternating diamonds in the XL version, but that’s definitely not as wearable.
This is why I haven't really pulled the trigger on this. I wanted something wearable everyday and when I tried it on, I don't think I could.
Just wanted to provide an update. So panthere has come off my list due to the weight and bulk. I have seen the new panthere style bangles and think they are pretty but I heard they are like the thin juste un clou. I am curious if that means they are kind of light and flimsy? Anyway I like the kelly bangle but given it’s .3 carats of diamonds and priced at nearly 14k I’m not so sure that I want to spend that much for not so much in diamonds. I tried on the Bulgari serpenti and it did capture my heart. Photos attached. I would like to try on the vca perlee clover but I think the serpenti will like be more my look than the Perlee. The white gold is very blingy. The rg compliments my other bangles however and for me I think it is ok for everyday but every person is different.
Hello all! So back with an update. I wound up going in a completely different direction and added the perlee clover instead! I think it compliments my other current bangles. I have def ruled out the panthere because it’s really meant to be by itself. I still love the serpenti and may add it in the future but for now my stack feels complete. Thanks all for indulging me with your thoughts and advice.

Not if I stack them properly and depending on the bracelet style and size. I’ve never had an issue with the juc scratching my mechanical or apple watches on their faces. Could be your juc is sized larger?
