Thank you so much for your feedbacks 
I’d like to get one but valuable piece and go with one paved bracelet but I am just worried.... is it ok to wear to work etc? with combinations of two I could take one off. At least I have something to think about while we are all on quarantine

I would go with either the small love pave + serpenti or the full classic pave (in WG because I think it brings out the beauty of the bracelets the most, but that depends on what metal you wear more often).
My reasons are as follows:
- the JUC and the serpenti have a similar shape, but the latter is a lot less commonly seen. It is also a beautiful bracelet and looks absolutely killer when worn, and for a full diamond bracelet from a luxury house is priced quite well IIRC, much more value for money than the JUC diamond.
- The classic love is a classic. I absolutely love it, and it is a piece that I feel is meant to be worn alone and not stacked. It is however an absolute honking statement. It very much depends on your personal style (if you’re comfortable wearing it to work etc.) for me it depends on what industry you work in, whether others in your office tend to wear expensive jewellery/clothes. If not, then I’m not sure whether you’d like to wear it to work, though you can always take it off and not wear anything to work if that is alright with you! The small pave love is also gorgeous and a lot more understated at work, and wearing both bracelets together will bring the bling factor.
- I do like the JUC and think it’s a very stylish bracelet, btw. An option you have in the future is to perhaps get a slim JUC without diamonds in a contrasting metal (so YG if your pave is WG) and create a cool two-toned stack at a fairly reasonable price point (by which I mean the slim no diamond JUC isn’t particularly expensive for the presence it brings on the wrist). The slim no diamond JUC is also extremely wearable on its own if you go to places where you want to be very understated, and all three bracelets will be easy to wear and take off.
- As a complete out of left field suggestion: the most expensive combo you had suggested I believe is the first one (small love + serpenti). If you do decide to get the classic love instead, you could get another bracelet to wear at work if you find the classic love too much (either the slim/regular JUC no diamond or the Bulgari serpenti viper - https://www.bulgari.com/en-gb/355268.html - come to mind) in the price range of your combo 1. You could do it in a contrasting metal to the metal you choose (I find WG best for pave though personally, because it brings out the diamonds beautifully) and then you’ll have a bit more versatility.

Classic pave in yellow gold , it’s on my wishlist it’s so beautiful, i hope i can afford to buy that later
I know I suggested thin pave with JUC. But how do you like bracelets clicking and banging against each other? And the constant noise, not to mention scratches on both. If you hate it, then one classic pave love. A very, very simple, but elegant look. But in GOLD.
Thank you for taking your time and expressing your opinion. I really appreciate it. I think you made good points and something to think about. Originally my dream stack was regular love+JUC+pave love. I’ve tried all three bracelets together and it was too heavy and I didn’t like that they will be scratching each other. My hubby doesn’t like any of them and telling me to get a tennis bracelet from private jeweler. Have to try them all again when this madness is over.
it was on my wishlist for quite some time as well. I’ve been saving some money and got some $ as a wedding gift from our families to go to Paris for our honeymoon. I am sure we are not going there very soon so I want to get a piece of jewelry instead
Yes, I think you are right. Not sure which gold to choose though
I like white gold pave love but black ceramic screws? Not sure about it. My hubby doesn’t like YG or PG

if you don’t like the scratches, then I would recommend against getting 2 bracelets to be worn together. The classic love is probably the best option then. As an aside, cartier now makes the WG classic pave with metal screws, not just ceramic; and it’s beautiful. So you have 4 options to choose for if you get classic pave. Since it’s such an expensive bracelet, I’d recommend getting it in the metal colour you will wear the most. If you would still like to get something else for work, you could get one of the non diamond ones I mentioned
If you go non branded, for that kind of budget you could get an absolutely INSANE tennis bracelet!
Aww that first hand there is mine!
I absolutely LOOOOOVE my serpenti. More than any other jewelers that I own. I am not 100% sure if I love the serpenti with the love. I usually wear mine separate. I think it has a chance of going well with the thin love. What a fun Dilemma to have!! keep us posted on what you decide

I’m so happy that you are here! I am your follower on IG, and your post of Serpenti actually draw my attention to that bracelet! The very first photo I posted here was your hand
and I thought that combination of small love with Serpenti looks amazing. Do you wear it everyday or just for special occasions?I’m so happy that you are here!

Hi!!! I wear my serpenti EVERY DAY. First thing I do when I wake up is put it on. It’s so comfortable and just stunning. It brings brightness to my otherwise blah day. It’s truly a joy. Also, the two paces are not mine. Yet. Lol. They were on my last shopping trip and I am planning and plotting what to get next. I hadn’t thought much of the slim pave until I tried it on together with the serpenti. It looks really really nice. So nice, it is on my list (in the distant future lol). Keep me posted what you decide! I’d love to share your joy. Also, be aware that serpenti typically doesn’t have the size medium in store. Not sure what your size is, but if the small feels to snug, request a medium. I am a size 17 in the Love and the medium fits perfectly.
