Hammered or Guilloche VCA 5 motif Vintage Alhambra bracelet?

[GoldenGlitter]

I’m trying to decide what to stack with my tennis bracelet and Cartier JUC. I’m worried about scratches with the Guilloche. I’ve heard you can’t restore the gold since it’s laser cut. But I find the Guilloche very pretty. Is the hammer a better compromise for scratches? The stone bracelets are beautiful, but too delicate for daily wear IMO. If I went with a stone it would likely be MOP which I also think is divine, but it has the potential to shrink with water, hand washing, etc. do you think these are meant for stacking at all? Or would it be better to wear alone and without my current stack? TIA!

I vote for Guilloche bracelet,
I have stack with Cartier love cuff with diamond and Sm Juc with Diamond. Is not doing bad in my opinion, still shine and not scratch much,almost invisible.
But I do not wearing it everyday because of work reason, but I do wear on weekend and holidays 24/7.
Before put it away just clean with Cartier cleaning kit but not use brush just rub with solutions lotion.and it stay shiny.

I too would prefer the guilloche over hammered, but I too worry about scratches/tarnish with everyday wear and stacking! I'd be curious to hear from those who wear their guilloche bracelet everyday..how is the wear and tear when stacking?

I have exactly the same problem. Hammered is supposedly indestructible, but guilloche is sooo beautiful.
There is no boutique or online store in my country so I can only count on luck when traveling. I've never been to a VCA boutique.
