I have a big birthday coming up & I’m planning on buying a bracelet to stack with my sm RG Love. My heart flips every time I try on the 5 motif Alhambra bracelet & I’m considering either the MOP or onyx (I want to wear it 24/7 so I’m leaning towards onyx).

My gut is telling me that a stack of 3 is better- sm JUC, sm Love & Alhambra. However, finances may dictate that I can only buy one bracelet.

I tried on my friend’s MOP with my Love. I have a tiny wrist (size 15 Love). Does this look ok or does it look unfinished?

It doesn’t look unfinished however I also prefer minimum of three pieces when incorporating a 5 motif with love or Juc. Building a nice jewelry collection takes time and planning is half the fun. So enjoy this purchase experience and start planning for the next purse
 
Happy birthday!

although I like the general rule of odd bracelet stacks, I prefer your two bracelet stack.

I think either MOP or onyx. Go with what you love most. :)

I think the 5 motif pairing with the love looks just fine. It's always fun to plan out your future purchases and you don't have to get them all at once. In addition to onyx, have you considered other hardwearing stones or even hammered? I've attached the mohs scale of each stone just for reference. I think carnelian may also look really nice on you, the color changes depend on the lighting, which I personally think it's more interesting than onyx and still passable as a neutral.

Your 5 motif MOP and Small Cartier Love Bracelet would look really beautiful with a 5 motif Blue Agate if you are looking to add a pop of color! This is not my picture but I found it online to give you an idea! View attachment 5813675
I quite like the idea of 2 Alhambra & my Love but hubby isn’t keen. He’s not a big fan of VCA & it’s taken me years to get him on board with one bracelet. He flat out hates the pendant (he clearly has no taste at all!!)

I know what you mean. My dh also wasn’t a fan of VCA and didn’t understand why I kept buying “the same shape in different colors” :whut:.

It took him awhile but now he appreciates my collection and understands that each purchase is carefully thought out and has a special meaning behind it :amuse:.

Like others said, enjoy the journey of building your collection. It really is a thrilling ride!
I think your Love + 1 VA Bracelet will be perfect on your wrist. I do love the look of the MOP on you, however since you plan to wear it all the time, the Onyx will surely be a better choice for your first piece.
Although, some people do wear their MOP 24.7 and haven’t had issues with it.

Also, happy early birthday to you!! :yahoo:
