Thoughts?? I’m considering adding this one to my collection, but worried that it might be too tiny/simple of a piece? I think it’s cute and I do have the matching mini earrings. However, I’m a minimalist when I wear my jewelry, so I usually only have on a pair of earrings, 1 necklace, and a watch on my left wrist (I don’t stack anything). I only have a couple bracelets (MOP 5 motif and Cartier small JUC) that I’ll wear on my right wrist or if I have no watch on. I’m still trying to figure out if this piece suits my collection or if I’m better off going for another 5 motif at this price point. Thoughts?
Is the mini frivole bracelet worth it?

It’s really cute but I’m not sure it’s the best “bang for the buck”. I can only go by my own experience as I bought 2 Sweet Alhambra bracelets, and to my shame I have never worn them! Too delicate for a woman of my age, I’m afraid.
I like it! It is a dainty and below the radar piece which is great sometimes. I have the non pave version of this though which is less expensive and might be more worthwhile since the flower is so small. Most people don’t know it’s VCA and I’ve received compliments on it. It’s not the same look as a 5 motif which is more noticeable, so I think depends what kind of look you are going for. Perhaps you could compare it with the non pave version due to the lower price point. Good luck deciding!

I'm not crazy about this bracelet. I find the size of the flower to be awkward as a bracelet, it's much cuter as earrings which you already own. If you want a matching piece from the collection to build a set, I'd vote for a BTF ring or a small size pave pendant. If you were to get a 5 motif what would it be? Nothing would be worth the money unless you're getting what you truly like and optimizing cost per wear. But ultimately, get what your heart desires.
5 motif. The single motif doesn’t stay on top. With 5, you can always see at least one motif. When I’m wearing jewelry on my arm I wanna see it.
I love this bracelet. Very understated, durable (wore for past 3 years 24/7), very sparkly when catches artificial light. It's very dainty in comparison to 5 motif bracelets, yet it's so cuuute
Do you love it? Would you wear it all the time? If yes, then it’s worth every penny you pay for it. Honestly, after paying the crazy amounts luxury brands charge for their products, I only look at personal worth or value of a product. I stopped looking at and justifying the financial worth a long time ago. The carat weight does not match the price of the jewelry ever. What we pay for is really the brand name and exclusivity at the end of the day. Not to mention our personal satisfaction/happiness.
Yes plus one million. Is this piece worth this price to me is the only worth to consider on these pieces. I have the non-pave version of this and wear it a lot. I got it a long time ago and don’t remember the price at all but do know I love it. It seems like, for me, the pieces whose prices I know are the ones I wear the least and probably shouldn’t have gotten in the first place. I guess I knew the prices at some point, but if I’m thinking about the price, it shows a regret. I think I either guess too high “I love it so much it is must have been at least 25k” or too low “I feel like I’ve owned this forever probably in those days it was $500” I guess are the patterns. Will you feel like this or whatever your equivalent is about this bracelet?
Personally, I would say no. If you’re a minimalist, id say to go with something which has some sort of significance on its own. The 5 motif does that, but I find this to not. Why not a perlee bracelet?
Sorry, I vote against this too. It's beautiful I'm sure. But I wonder if due to the design of the bracelet, the motif will not stay put on top of your wrist, rather slide downwards.. unless you get it adjusted a bit tight so there's little room for movement. I also think you might outgrow it at some point in the next couple of years.
I'm sure the earrings are stunning, as I have tried them on and thought they looked so pretty. Why not consider a Frivole mini pave necklace?

For info, the bracelet length can be adjusted. And if you want the motif to stay on top all the time, you can let the SA know to work with you on the right length.
I did that shortening for my sweet mop bracelet and 5 motif frivole bracelet, and they don't wriggle down

I ended up purchasing the vca and returning it right away. It was pretty but nothing special
