Hi ladies,
I need your help and would really appreciate your suggestion. If you have pictures of these
bracelets together that would be really helpful too!! My husband wants me to chose something
for our 10th year anniversary. I honestly didn't want anything but he kept insisting so the
more I looked for a piece of jewelry the more confused I got! So before I drive over an hour to
the boutique, I have narrowed down to the following bracelets:

VCA Perlee diamonds 1 row
VCA Perlee clover
VCA Perlee pearls of gold with Cartier cuff
Juste en Clou regular size with diamonds

For those of you who own either one of the VCA bracelets, any issues with them falling off your
wrist or issues with the diamonds? Has your bracelet needed repair? If you have a very small
wrist and own the Perlee clover bracelet, how has your experience been?
I don't own any VCA pieces so I want to get an idea about the quality of their bracelets and how
good the company is to its customers.

I would looooove to see your stack of these bracelets or a combo of them!!! :)

Thank you!

Agree that you need to try them on to see what it looks like on your wrist and get an idea of sizing. Perlee clover is on my long-term wish list. It’s a special piece that not a lot of people have and it’s unique and elegant. Good luck with whatever you decide.

I have super small wrists, and I did love the XS perlee 1 row diamonds. But I think I have changed my mind to the perlee clover. It's just a more "special" piece. Over time (5-10 years), I think I would appreciate the clover more. But it's super important to try the correct size, especially if you have small wrists. Mine is 5 inches. Anything even a bit big looks ridiculous on me.

I have tried both the clover and diamond line perlee. They are both so beautiful but I prefer the single row diamond perlee. I also love the full size JUC with diamonds. Any chance you can get two? 10 years of marriage is a pretty good amount of work... :) Definitely don't choose based on how one is more popular than the other. Try them on and go for the one that makes you smile the most. That feels special!

This is the VCA board, BUT I’m going to vote for the JUC with diamonds ;) I just think it’s a beautiful, unique piece. I also own it so admittedly biased.

I tried the VCA clover and on me, I found it weighty and just cumbersome looking. It’s been a while since I’ve tried it so maybe I’d feel differently now, but I remember when I tried if feeling like it was a big NOPE because of it’s “over presence” if that makes sense. That said, it’s really popular on here, so this is an uncommon opinion.

Ultimately you just need to try them all!

I have the most of them that on your list except the one row Pearlee. I do not wear VCA daily, so I have not had any problems with them.

I would choose depending on how you are going to wear them, if you want a special piece that you only wear occasionally, then Pearlee Clover would be the choice. If you want to wear them everyday then JUC with diamonds would be your choice. One roll would look best with stacking, it is all personal choices. Hope that helps. Now let me find some pictures:biggrin:

Thank you so much ladies for taking your time to read and respond. I really appreciate it.
I know, I need to set up an appointment and try them on. I'm just so busy these days :(
Hopefully they will have the right size and bracelets available. I heard that their stocks
are low due to covid (or maybe too many people buying jewelry these days?).

Thank you 4LV for the lovely pictures! wow!! such beautiful pieces it's hard to chose just one!
I think that the Perlee pearls of gold with the love look really good together. Btw, does the nail
head of the juc hurt your wrist or bother you at all? I always wonder if that part is comfortable
or not.

Thank you all for your help!

I’ll chime in here since I recently got the JUC after much indecision! I find if I put it on and stare at my wrist, really focusing on it (like when you’re trying it on considering the purchase) then I notice the nail head on my wrist. It’s not uncomfortable, but I feel it. If I just wear it and go about my day, then I don’t feel it at all and it’s extremely comfortable!

The other day I forgot I was wearing it till my mom complimented it :)
