Graff or Chanel Coco Crush Mini Bangle?

[jk777]

Trying to decide between the new Graff Lawrence Graff half pave bangle or the Chanel Mini Coco Crush bangle with 9 diamonds. I would get a white gold one to stack with my VCA Perlee Clovers in rose gold and my Chanel Mini Coco Crush bangle with 9 diamonds in yellow gold. Going for a 3 bangle stack with all gold colors.

The Graff bangle would be about $4K more. Pricing isn't set in stone for this bangle yet in the US as it's only been released in Asia so far, and coming to the US in September. I imagine the Graff bangle will be about $13.5K and the Chanel bangle is $9.5K.

I love Graff in general, and I would be concerned if the etching on the coco crush would wear off, but in all honesty I would choose neither. Your clover bangle is wide and fabulous that I feel these bangles would get lost.
I think a diamond tennis or bangle would stand out more.

Thanks for your reply. I have a few coco crush pieces and the etching hasn't worn off. They certainly have some scratches given the shiny polishing, similar to the Cartier Love line. I think I'm okay with the other bangles getting lost or losing the spotlight to the perlee clover bangle as I don't want a stack that is any more thick than the perlee clover plus two thin/mini bangles.

Honestly, I probably wouldn't wear all three stacked most of the time. I think I would wear the perlee clover on one arm and the other two mini bangles on the other arm. Or for more casual days, just the two mini bangles on one arm and an Apple watch on the other.

Thoughts?

that makes sense; do you want the bangle to match your other coco crush pieces?
I like the fact that Graff is a jewelry house rather than a fashion brand , but I know some people prefer matching pieces.

Hmmm, I generally prefer a fine jewelry house over a non-fine jewelry house.

However:

1) The Graff bracelet is a little more edgy and clean-lined than the VCA. VCA definitely gives a softer, more feminine aesthetic and I wonder if it's paired with the Graff, would it clash or look in-harmonious?
2) Since the only mod shot you have is with the coco bangle I don't think it looks bad. The coco bangle does have some softer lines and edges that work with the VCA bangle.

Reading your later posts, I see you wouldn't stack them all togther then I resonate with @A bottle of Red on how matchy-matchy do you want to be?
Personally I'd go for the Graff then, especially if budget is not an issue.

Agreed on both of your comments, and I have the exact same thoughts (Graff is edgier, Graff is a jewelry house vs. fashion house, Coco Crush matches better, etc.). I'll have to take some time to think about it. Maybe I'll just get a VCA Perlee D'or bracelet and save some money to get the new Perlee interlocking rings

Graff - finest.

Not a bad plan!

May I ask which country you are living? I tried to look the Graff bangle up but only found it on Asian sites but not Germany or US for example.
Difficult decision. I like both and would go what fits visually best in your stack. I feel the Graff is nicer with diamonds and the Chanel is lovely with but also without diamonds.

I'm in the US. I heard that the bangle released early in some countries but in the US, it won't be available until September-ish.

graff! I normally vote Chanel coco but the graff is just shinier and more unique
