Hi everyone! I would love some advice on the next piece of FJ for my stack. I recently got a Cartier JUC small with diamonds to add to my Hermes Kelly bracelet half pavé. I'm looking for another piece that would go well with these two.

Initially I was thinking the classic Cartier Love bracelet, original, with no diamonds but are two bangles together a bit weird?

I also have a very teeny diamond tennis bracelet from an indie jeweler but I don't like to wear it with the other two bracelets because it's too loose and it gets tangled up. Will get it shortened later but may add to the stack/wear it on the watch wrist.

I do love a little bit of sparkle and looking to find a piece that would complement everything nicely.

I'm attaching pics if that would be helpful! Thank you!

Edit: looking for RG jewelry!

Since the main body of your Kelly as well as the JUC don't have diamonds I don't think a classic love bracelet would look incompatible. Furthermore, even though they're both bangles, the overall shapes and contours are different. The Kelly's closure gives more dimension and "3D-ness" so I feel that pairing it with the Love will still look good since the love is a smooth oval all the way around.

If you still want a bit of bling and more difference than your Kelly bracelet, I think the small love with alternating diamonds is a solid choice.

Good luck and happy shopping!:heart: Please let us know what you end up with. Eye candy is always appreciated! :biggrin:

Your stack is absolutely stunning! :loveeyes:

Have you thought about the SM Love bracelet, either with or without diamonds, instead of the regular size Love?

Thank you! The small love hadn't crossed my mind but you bring up a great point. I think I would lean towards the one with diamonds. Have you ever found that the "screw" decorative parts your love bracelets get darker over time?

Thanks for such a thoughtful response. I think I could go for a small love with either 6 or 10 diamonds! I do love a little sparkle on my jewelry 😸 have you found that the "screw" motifs of your love bracelet look darker over time?

I have a small Love with 6 diamonds, I love it personally. I've never seen or experienced, or heard of the screws darkening. I have 4 various Loves and none have that.
An Etincelle would be pretty as well imo.

That's good to know! The engraving part in photos can look a lot darker over time but maybe it's just dirt buildup/lighting. I just looked up the Etincelle and it does indeed look very pretty 😍 thanks for your input!!

Nope. No darkening for me.
I’ve had mine for about 3.5 years.
I shower with it so that helps clean it if any dirt does get stuck in the screw motifs lol.

I used to have the small Love with six diamonds and it is a beautiful bracelet, especially stacked! I sold mine as I wear a regular Love with four diamonds and am not a huge fan of stacking, however if I was in the market for a Love to stack with other bracelets the SM is the one I would go for.

No, no darkening to the screws on my regular Love and I have worn it 24-7 for the nearly two years I have had it.

The tennis bracelet looks lovely but I know what you mean with it moving and tangling. I have on order a Fope Eka bracelet and it’s mixed rose and white gold that would look stunning. I have a yellow gold small juste un clou with diamonds and a thin diamond bangle in rose gold wish I taken a pic with the Fope but I didn’t! Or as others have suggested a small Love bangle.
