Need help choosing an anniversary gift

[Storm Spirit]

With our anniversary coming up, hubby wants to gift me a piece of jewellery I'm a bracelet person so that's what I'll most likely go for.

Right now I only have one VCA bracelet:

I've narrowed my choices down to the white gold turquoise butterfly bracelet, pink gold 6 motif sweet bracelet or pink gold 5 motif vintage bracelet, but each has their pros and cons. Which one would you recommend? Thank you everyone

1) White gold butterfly sweet bracelet
Pros - LOVE the turquoise colour and it will look super cute with my sweet.
Cons - Rhodium plated (not a fan), and the weight of the butterfly means I'll see the chain most of the time. Though if this were available in other gold colours, I think it would be my top pick.

2) Pink gold sweet bracelet
Pros - Cute and you can always see at least 1 motif.
Cons - Possibly makes my current sweet bracelet redundant? My sweet was a special gift, therefore selling or getting rid of it will never be an option.

3) Pink gold vintage bracelet
Pros - Bigger motifs, will stand out more. The chain looks unbreakable too. Not that I've ever had any issues, but it's always good to know I don't have to be too careful wearing this.
Cons - Not sure if this will suit me as I've never tried it IRL. The closest VCA boutique is in London (~1 hour away), and I have no plans to head there anytime soon.

How do you like your one motif sweet alhambra bracelet on you? Do you feel like it's dainty or disappears on your wrist, or do you think it looks like its proportionate to your wrist / body?

I tried on the sweet alhambra 6 motif and the vintage alhambra 5 motif in the white MOP on my wrists. I wear a cartier size 17 in the small love bracelet so I have small-ish wrists. I find that the Sweet Alhambra 6 motif doesn't stand out as much on my wrist and kinda just disappears on me, especially if I stack it with my small love bracelet. I had originally planned on getting the sweet alhambra 6 motif as my next VCA purchase but I decided against it in the end and removed it from my wishlist. The vintage alhambra 5 motif, on the other hand, looks really proportionate to my body, and it stands out a lot more when it's stacked. I had originally wanted the white MOP but I will likely go for rose gold as I'm lazy and don't like to remove my bracelets.

If you find the sweet alhambra motif looks fine on you, you can always wear one on each wrist. I don't see an issue with stacking two sweets on one wrist either. I don't think it'll be redundant.

I love the size of the vintage most. But if you want to stack, I would go for the butterfly sweet for variety in color. How do you feel about the carnelian sweet bracelet? Since this is RG as well. I think that would stack perfectly with your current RG sweet.

Hmm it’s difficult to say... I personally like the dainty look of the sweet but you can’t really see it from a distance as it’s so small. I wear a 17 Love on the other arm (14.5cm wrist) and will probably leave it on its on as dainty bracelets just end up sliding underneath and disappearing. The vintage motifs look pretty big, and I’m not sure if they’ll overwhelm the small chain bracelets I sometimes stack.

I like rose gold for the same reason! I’m also lazy and prefer something low maintenance (though I will make an exception for turquoise as it’s so pretty).

I’m not a huge fan of dark red, or dark colours in general. In fact one of the reasons I’ve shied away from VCA is because most of their colours are too dark for me. Turquoise is really pretty and the butterfly is super cute, but I don’t like plated jewellery, including rhodium plated wg So uhh... it’s a tough decision for sure!

This week I’ve been just wearing 2 sweets on one arm, just to change it up. The look is very cute and delicate. Love the colors. But I definitely prefer my neutral colors in the vintage size. I’m changing back into the larger motifs today.

i would get the vintage size. go bold ! i doubt it will be too much on you. there are probably a ton of photos you can look up of petite women wearing this size to get an idea about how not overpowering it is.
