I love the combo of those 3. A friend of mine has the same with the hammered instead and she was telling me she’s sorry they didn’t have the guilloche when she purchased her hammered. I know people warn of scratches, but I don’t think it’ll get scratched as long as you wear the JUC on the other side of the love and the Guilloche is short, so it won’t roll onto the others. I love the shiny finish of the Guilloche with the Cartiers that have a shiny finish, pretty, pretty. Congrats, love it!!!

it’s a beautiful piece, but just to warn you, if you wear as a stack, it could get bashed up which may disrupt the Guilloche pattern.

Holy crap I just wore it for the first time today just to try, and running errands at that. I saw MANY scratches already! I was thinking it was lint stuck in the creases of the guilloche but it’s totally banged up!
I definitely should’ve done more research prior to purchasing!! I mean it’s still a beautiful piece but not sure how it would look all scratched up. I don’t mind my carrier bracelets being scratched but it’s more of a smooth gold vs the guilloche pattern. I’m kind of bummed!

Did you try washing it just to make totally sure it isn’t dust or something? Honestly, don’t stress over this, you have a beautiful piece you know now how to protect it. Scratches are inevitable, but you can limit them.

Just wear it on its own. It’s got tons of presence and then you can focus on how beautiful it is. That’s a large part of why I wear my bracelets alone. VCA’s craftsmanship is amazing and when you wear only one piece your eyes can pay attention to the details instead of just displaying a certain look to the rest of the world.

Honestly, I think these three are stunning as a stack! You can try switching it up by wearing it on your other wrist every now and then too. Like others have said, scratches are inevitable, but what matters most is that you enjoy it! (:

Congratulations on your beautiful bracelet!!!

Would you mind sharing which location you purchased from and if you had to wait? I’ve dropped into 3 different stores in different cities while traveling just to see if I get lucky, but alas no such luck. I understand it’s a very sought after bracelet so was just curious.
