My grandma recently passed away and left me this YG bangle that she knows I have always loved. I am not a bracelet/bangle person and only own a WG diamond tennis bracelet (gifted to me by my mother in law when I got married). Any ideas for what I can purchase to wear with this so it doesn't look lonely?

I tried on a VCA frivole bracelet today but while i love the frivole bracelet I wasn't sure if they went together.

I'm sorry for you loss. I lost my 96 year old grandma last year and I miss her terribly.
Your bracelet is beautiful and I think it goes with pretty much anything. It's like the perfect foundation for a stack.

Your bangle is beautiful, and what a lovely way to remember your grandmother! I think your tennis bracelet would look great with it, or something else simple and classic like a DBTY or medium size curb chain.

The frivole is really pretty...but like you, I’m not sure if it “goes”. The frivole is very delicate and feminine whereas your bangle is almost a bit edgy, kinda like a JUC. I also wouldn’t want anything that would distract or compete with this lovely bangle too much. That’s why I thought of DBTY, or if you want something that is a “shape” on a chain, maybe something like a Marla Aaron babylock on a chain or a Messika Move Uno.

Thank you so much! What lovely suggestions. I like all of them and will be doing more research on them :D

You could also do the Tiffany hardwear bracelet. It’s got a cool look, and I think it’s more visually interesting to stack a soft bracelet with a harder bangle.

The frivole’s chain just looks a bit thin to me.

I second JUC, it will go well with the bangle you have. I think any bracelet with chain might get tangled in your bangle which has that slit/opening. I’d go for another solid piece, like JUC. Perlee or Hardwear would also look interesting:)

I hadn't thought of doing 2 bangles together, but good idea! What do you guys think about the Cartier love? I had read about the JUC catching on (and destroying) clothes so wasn't too keen on it.

I didn't bring the tennis bracelet to the vca store with me as I hadn't intended to stack that with the gold bangle. But here's a picture of the tennis bracelet with gold bangle. They don't seem to go together!

I think this really looks beautiful! If you still want to add something else in YG, my vote would be something like Tiffany HardWear microlink or a mid-weight paperclip or curb chain. Then you can just wear the two YG pieces daily and add the tennis in between for a sparkly look!

I’m so sorry for your loss, and I’m glad that you have something beautiful from her that represents happy memories.

I do like your choice of the frivole though I’m not sure if, as others have mentioned, a chain might get tangled.

I like the idea of JUC, or thin love (as per @AntiqueShopper above) Diamond MIL tennis bracelet, and grandmothers bracelet.

I think three bracelets will look better than two and it would be nice to use what you have!

Hugs
