This 6 motif is the wg sleeper Alhambra piece as I absolutely love it with this combo. It works great with everything. This was great add to an already amazing collection.

Can you simply reverse the JUC, so same order but with the nail head closer to the LOve.
perhaps the clash on the other side of the love (clash closer to your elbow
@EpiFanatic , this combo looks like the first snowfall of the season. I love it. I can also see it on your arm in the middle of summer and think wow it’s such a nice cooling effect.
I personally don’t stack, but I think starting with three main pieces might be nice. A LOVE, a JUC, and a VCA seem to be the basis of many pretty stacks.
Sleeper hit. Love that. I swear when I bought it I was thinking it would be a standalone that I could just keep on all the time and wouldn't worry about getting wet. I didn't think it would work this well with all the other pieces.
First pic is how I’ve been wearing my stack without alhambra…second is new arrangement…third is without the tennis….I think I’ll need to add some links as it’s snug when I wear Alhambra right at the back ? But I still feel the yg alhambra doesn’t look as good in the stack…thinking the black onyx would look better with love and juc ?
Currently I usually wear juc and love on right wrist and left is small stack wth alhambra..
Thanks for the suggestions…
first pic is left wrist , keeping Alhambra with other delicate pieces, second tried Alhambra wth juc and love on my right wrist. Which is how I hoped to wear the 3. Currently just wearing Cartier on right wrist …3rd pic...I add on the clash when going out and just wear juc and love daily ….
I always intended to add Alhambra to right wrist like 2nd pic but am disappointed with how it looks ..I have the black /yg Alhambra on my wish list so think that would make it pop and look modern as hammered yg doesn’t seem to go together with my stack ..or maybe it’s too much gold ?..lol I have a bit of a yellow gold addiction
So far, I like from hand to elbow, JUC, love and 5 motif the best, like @missie1 suggested. I think you may be wanting that pop of color, which the 5 motif can provide depending on the color of the stone.Currently I usually wear juc and love on right wrist and left is small stack wth alhambra..

@samiyahlk I love stacks. It has to do with growing up with the women in my family wearing and rocking a dozen bangles or more on each arm everyday. What made their stacks work was symmetry. In my humble opinion, I love stacks that share some kind of symmetry and look like they were meant to be together. I would choose an anchor bracelet first for any stack. Once you choose your anchor bracelet, adding pieces that enhance that central piece just makes the entire look more cohesive. Some may find that boring but I am not a fan of anything too complicated. My absolute fave stack are the four perlee bracelets together. They work together seamlessly imo because they are symmetrical.
Or, you can add one deviant piece to the symmetrical bracelets. So, I would add the JUC to a couple of perlee bracelets but I wouldn’t add a JUC and a 5-motif together to the perlee bracelets at the same time. Or JUC and serpenti together. It just distracts and detracts from the beauty of each individual bracelet. Sorry if I am not making any sense but trying to put my rationale into words here and probably failing miserably!

I love the second stack on you. That’s the order as it now has balance. I definitely can see a stone Alhambra providing a pop but this can be interchangeable based on what you have.
For me the JuC needs to be at either at end of the stack. It doesn’t work in the middle imo. Also for the last pic I would move the clash to the end close to the elbow. A great pop of color stone Alhambra will look great with this all gold look. Also the great think is that it will pair great with all gold hammered piece as well.Currently I usually wear juc and love on right wrist and left is small stack wth alhambra..

It’s always the least expected pieces that just help elevate the already fabulous pieces.
so great to hear the stack queen give in depth process for how you build out stacks. I love love all of your variations and so agree with establishing base bracelet.

Thanks for the advice …open to any suggestions..am just experimenting until I get the look I like …tbh I don’t like thing’s symmetrical, I like it to look effortless and a bit edgy, wth different textures and finishes…this was my og look before I bought my love and alhambra…tbh I loved the stack wth all the bracelets and I think the Alhambra wud have worked with it…the love bracelet is a very dominant piece on the wrist and not easily removed so now I’m trying to rearrange usual stack to accommodate both the love and alhambra@samiyahlk I love stacks.

Thanks for the stack advice …I think I’m just having buyers regret over the hammered Alhambra..wish I’d just gone wth stone one like mop or onyx as I originally wanted..but my sa swayed me wth fears bout longevity and damage to stones wth stacking and then I ended up going wth hammered gold ..which I feel only looks good stacked wth other stone 5 motifs or by itself ..I guess the stack didn’t match up wth the vision I had in my head of how it would look ..lol ..if that makes any sense…
My base bracelet has always been my juc …that’s the one that started my stack journey....I think after adding the love bracelet I feel like both are quite strong pieces so it’s difficult to add to the stack …
