Clover Diamond, 3-row or 1-rowx2?

[einseine]

Hi sweet VCA lovers!

I have only one Perlee Signature bracelet in PG(purchased 7-8 years ago). I have not worn it much until recently because I had preferred Cartier Love bracelets. But, now the signature is my most fav (loving the beads!) and am considering adding another one.

Perhaps the 3-row because the Signature and the Clover side by side might look too much metal.

However,,, it seems everyone loves the Perlee Clover, not the 3-row Diamond. Does anyone have the 3-row diamond? I am now torn between the Clover diamond and the 3-row diamond (or two thin bracelets?). I have not decided the metal color yet.

Thank you for your thoughts

I think the signature looks great paired with some type of perlee clover. I prefer a contrast in sizes when stacking bangle style bracelets. As you already have tennis bracelet the three row diamond competes with this. I like idea of 2 sweet clovers with signature. The larger clover perlee is beautiful and you might love two stacked once You try them on.

Thank you missie1!
I found this pic on IG, which is a perfect modeling pic for me! The 3-row next to the Signature doesn’t look bad to me although they are the same widths… With the Signature, as you said, the perlee thins will look better, but they are not really my cup of tea…

I'll wear the 3-row diamond or the clover diamond solo or with other thinner bangles like in the previous pics… perhaps!

It is likely you dont see a LOT of the 3 row due to the price point but it is absolutely stunning! The thickness is slightly larger than the signature bangle (its like the clover). It sounds like you really love the 3 row (rightfully so - its beautiful). Go with your gut instinct. I note above you mentioned you feel like everyone "loves the diamond clover" but you feel it might be "too much metal". Follow what makes YOU happy. I have the clover and I agree...there is a lot of metal and personally Id love to see just a bit more sparkle (its why I decided not to get - at this time anyway - another clover but rather a pave regular Love. I felt there was not enough sparkle so I understand you wanting the 3 row. I chose the pave Love (was a HG piece for me) also because the thickness is a bit different than the clover so it doesn't look cuff like when paired together (which can happen when you start to stack a few bangles of the exact same thickness together). The above pic you posted as reference is often used as an example as a "coveted VCA Perlee stack" and what makes it interesting is there is a variance of thickness, metal, and sparkle. If it is absolute "goals" for you why not chip away at reproducing that combination?

Yes! The 3-row diamond is STUNNING! (it's a little bit heavy though..) By "a perfect modeling pic," I meant the pic was perfect to compare the 2 paring - the signature with the 3-row and the signature with the clover (sorry for my limited English!) But, I don't need to stack. As a jewelry piece, I love the 3-row more! I understand how much your love the pave Love Yes, I will go with my instinct! My SA strongly recommends WG. I'm thinking...

@einseine the perlee 3 row diamond bracelet is one of the most beautiful bracelets ever! But as @glamourbag pointed out, we don’t see much of it probably because of the price point. If your heart absolutely loves it, that’s the bracelet you should go after. I love the perlee clover bracelet btw and I know there’s more metal than diamonds but that’s the design and it’s one of the most classic and iconic VCA pieces because of the design.

I am one of those crazy people who actually like stacking similar bracelets together for a unified look. So for me, my ideal stack was and still is similar to the pic you posted with the four perlee bracelets stacked together. Except, mine is with the single row diamond perlee instead of the three row. I own other VCA and cartier bracelets but these four stacked together are by far my favorite and dream stack because they create a cohesive look which is soothing to my eyes.
I am not a fan of stacking all different kinds of bracelets together. It makes my mind want to scream and protest in visual and mental pain

@einseine ive told you before you have my all-time favorite tennis bracelet.

i personally love the clover, but agree with the others that we don’t see it much due to the price and you should definitely get what you love. Beyond that, I don’t think I can offer much advice, because I tend to make stacks that made @eternallove4bag ’s mind scream, but I really prefer her more uniform and soothing style. Which I why right now I only have two bracelets. I love my Love (which now has been discontinued) but it’s challenging to stack with.

You know I am a huge fan of EVERYTHING you wear @Notorious Pink … some people have the art of wearing things effortlessly like you. Not me! I am more deliberate with what I wear because not everything looks good on me unfortunately

Hi! Lots of great advice here, and I'll chime in to add my two cents...

I am getting a WG Clover, so obviously I like the Clover (my Clover will be on a plane next week, coming to America/NY!)

The Clover has a lot of metal; hence, I do not see it as a diamond bangle. I see it as a stunning, artistic metal bangle design, accented with diamonds. I purchased it because I love the design. If you look at it, it's a work of art. The metalwork is so beautiful and intricate. You can find look-alike Clover bangles (think Roberto Coin), but there is nothing like the Clover with its beautiful metalwork. There is no equal with the Clover.

I also tried on the 3 row, and yes, it's beautiful and the diamonds sparkle. However, to me, while the 3 row has a lot of diamonds, I found it a bit simple and dare I say, boring. At its core, it's nothing more than just another diamond bangle/tennis bangle. Diamond bangle/tennis bracelets are everywhere and at all price points. It's a common look. I prefer fine jewelry that is more artistic.

I also think the simple design is the reason why you do not see many 3 rows. The 3 row bangle, at its core (take the VCA name out of) is a very common and simple design. If the pricing were flipped and the iconic Clover were priced higher than the 3 row, I think people will still covet the Clover (I certainly would). The Clover is truly a work of art vs. the 3 row which is just a bunch of diamonds set in three rows. If you think of high jewelry, the beautiful pieces are not simple bangle/tennis bracelet designs. High jewelry is all about the art, the beauty, and the complexity of the piece. I think that is why the Clover is so beloved, a true work of art. Just something to think about for a different point of view.

On selecting your bangle...
I would think about the look you are striving to achieve because the pieces to me create different looks. Here are my thoughts...

- Signature + Clover = This look gives it a chic vibe. I think this is a great look. You see the beauty of the artistic Clover matched with the sleekness of the Signature.

- Signature + 3 row = This look will give you the "diamond bangle" look. However, this look to me is a bit odd, and also a bit plain. It is odd as the Signature bangle is all metal, yet the 3 row is all diamond. It is a very black & white pairing and not a smooth transition. I personally think with this combo, the Signature bangle takes away from the beauty of the 3 row, because the blingy diamond bangle is now next to a plain metal bangle. It is plain for the reasons I stated about about the 3 row. This look to me is a simple bangle paired with a tennis bangle, hence a very common look. If you love the 3 row, I think the 3 row looks better without the Signature.

These are just my thoughts of course, and everyone has their own preferences. With jewelry, it's 100% personal preference and anything goes.

For me, my vote goes to the Signature + Clover. I hope this was helpful. Good luck with your decision.

Your pieces are gorgeous, but my eyes would be dizzy looking at your pieces! I would also get a whiplash with my head going back and forth looking at all that beautiful, assorted, unmatched bling! I need to keep it simple and be coordinated.

I am 100% with you. Your stack is coordinated and gorgeous, not like that Nutso @Notorious Pink who has such beautiful, gorgeous bling, but I would be dizzy looking at her amazing, unmatched pieces!

Omg you crack me up @BigAkoya .. thank god we all have a sense of humor that keeps us from taking ourselves too seriously! @Notorious Pink has a knack for making everything look good! I envy her sense of effortlessness

I love your stacks. They are so luxe & eclectic which it a true talent that I can’t achieve.

I vote for the 3 row! I have the Perlee signature and the 3 row would be my next choice in the Perlee line to wear with the signature. I tried on the 1 row with the signature and liked them together, but the 3 row is just wow! The clover and signature together was more metal than I’d preferred and I felt like that combo needed something else.

 

[EpiFanatic]

I’m no use. I think all the combos look great. Every last one. Just depends on which is YOUR vibe. Which stack is comfortable to you mentally and emotionally, the one that when you have on it makes you think “this is SO me…”. That’s how I make my decisions anyway. No going wrong with your options. Can’t wait to see what you end up with!
