I took another photo trying to show the color variation between the matte Rouge H and shiny braise KDs. The left KD is the matte Rouge H gator and the right KD is the shiny braise gator. Also, the clic clac on top is framboise and the clic clac on the bottom is rouge.

One of my earlier mistakes was giving away a shiny braise gator CDC... To this day, I haven't been able to find another one!

It's a matter of personal style but in my opinion you can't go wrong with any H leather bracelet!! Here is my contribution, Gator Kelly dog with wide Noir-noir clic-clac!

^ I love that bracelet pairing Elina! Is that a VCA Perlee ring?

No, actually my jeweler made it for me after I requested it! Is YG, WG and RG. It fits every finger and is cut with a diamond cutter!

My love affair with Hermes started with the CDC. I've had 10 over the years but 6 currently. Since then my leather bracelet collection has grown to include the gaine, pousse pousse, and another one whose name I can't recall. I wear my CDCs very often, even more than the 'simpler' ones. I'm thinking of a rivals next, in addition to some other dreamy colours of the CDC

Hi sparklelisab! I started with enamels and clic clacs first, and then fell down the slipperly slope to KDTs, Kelly Dogs, CDCs and so forth! It's an old family photo, but...

Now that is one serious collection Lala! A real "go-to guide" on H bracelets!

These collections are FANTASTIC!!! I'm wondering, though, because I have very small wrists. Do they resize bracelets for you or do the bracelets come in very small sizes? Like If I were to get a Rivale, would it work on a very small wrist?

Lala I loooove love your framboise clic clac!! Pretty sure I saw a gator CDC at Venice H last weekend in Framboise. I wasn't sure what colour it was because it looked like hot pink but I knew it wasn't fuschia. Beauty!!

Yes, it´s worth it if that is your style. Bracelets were my first love, and my first H buys were a KDT, CDC and a Rush bracelet. I have always been a palladium girl, and never thought I´d own a bracelet with gold hard ware. Well, a few days ago I bought my first "gold", a black CDC with gold hard ware.

I feel that H accessories, can spice up most outfits and make them cool.

I saw one on a reality show person, and I have to say, it was gorgeous! It gave me a good visual of what I might want to do. I may need to sneak out to Hermes this weekend!

They don't resize. Most bracelets come in sizes XS-L. A few are S-L. Some are only one size. The small sizes are very hard to come by, so when you find one you really like, snatch it up! Good luck with your search.

If you are not sure how much is too much in terms of H leather bracelets, Kelly Double Tour and Rivale bracelets are a good place to start. KDT, Rivale and Hapi bracelets are all fairly narrow and subtle to wear. Kelly Dogs are wider but still subtle because the hardware is minimal. You can build different looks using various combinations of KDTs, Rivales and Kelly Dogs,. Here's a photo so you can compare widths and hardware:

(P.S. A leather cuff is also a good starting point because there isn't any hardware at all!)

Lala28- Wow, your collection looks AWESOME!

Wow, lala, this is an amazing collection!

I've made my fair share of mistakes when it comes to H bracelets. I'd bought and sold a Hapi and CdC (I love the look but it just doesn't look right on me - for now). The Horn bracelet kept sliding off because my wrist is tiny. Right now, I'm loving the Kelly Dog.

Lala....I'm speechless. Wowwwww. I love all your bracelets collection.
