First bracelet suggestions?

I like the idea of earrings for now. Maybe 2 pairs of sweet Alhambra on rotation. First year med students typically have gross anatomy and not to be graphic but I’m certain you won’t want a bracelet on while dissecting a cadaver.
I actually thought about that and the thought of the pave icked me out. There is no amount of brushing the diamonds that would make that right
 
Thank you all so much for your input! It's insightful to hear how bracelets would probably be a pastime reserved for lecture/study days only :biggrin: Alas, I wish I were an earrings girl, but I don't have my ears pierced and probably would not wear them enough.

While I love the idea of the 6-motif sweet RG alhambra bracelet that had quite a few suggestions, I think the pure RG would blend into my skin (which is currently quite tanned) and won't pop out/match with my YG onyx pendant. And although the 5-motif hammered/onyx bracelets are within my budget, after further thinking, I don't know if I'll be comfortable wearing them regularly in school and would love to save them for future dream pieces :')

Considering all the options and opinions presented in this thread, instead of 24/7 wear, I would be happy to go with the occasional-slightly regular wear. I am choosing between:

1. YG Cartier baby (interlocking) love bracelet
Pros: All YG and easy to care for during medical school, more casual, pairs with YG onyx pendant
Cons: Not sure if it's a standalone piece when compared with the other two choices

2. WG diamond tennis bracelet
Pros: Looks sparkly paired with YG onyx pendant, a classic statement piece on its own, easy to pair in the future
Cons: Diamond setting needs upkeep and maintenance, not the most sanitary (?), probably does not hold value as well as the other two

3. RG Sweet Alhambra carnelian bracelet
Pros: Brings in a pop of color and won't be pure RG (which is dark against my skin)
Cons: Not sure if red is a good color combo with the YG onyx pendant, might get damaged by antiseptic gel (?)

Thank you all again for your wonderful advice! :smile:

Hi there! Thank you for stopping by ☺️

After getting my VCA YG Vintage Alhambra Onyx pendant, I have fallen into the throes of jewelry and would love to hear your wise advice on what I should get for my first (and only!) bracelet to pair it with. I hope to wear this as a 24/7 piece, but open to taking it off when showering if needed. I will probably be heading to medical school so hopefully not too flashy but substantial enough to wear on its own. I also have a very small wrist (13.5 cm), if that makes a difference.

I am open to looking at both new and pre-loved - probably anything under $4500 retail. I am open to not just VCA but also other brands. Preferably yellow gold but open to RG/WG if mixed with other stones (such as the carnelian).

Here are a few that I have looked into, including Utsav Fashion:

- VCA Sweet Alhambra MOP Bracelet

Please feel free to input any other suggestions. Thank you in advance for your help!
I recently got an old ZO2247, but it didn’t come with the original purple strap—just another color. I'm now looking to get a metal bracelet for it. Any recommendations?
