Please help me choose- Cartier small vs full pave or VCA

[JazzieLopez]

Thanks! I think I will do it for a big upcoming birthday. I had planned diamond studs but I tend to agree with the opinions regarding the joy a bracelet provides. The regular pavé is stunning but my lifestyle and work would not allow for daily wear so I cannot justify the spend for something that would sit in the safe. And the small looks gorgeous on ehy210 and on you. Still have not decided on adding sm pavé to (now 2) Loves vs exchange and wear with only 1. Must decide soon.

Hopefully this will solidify your decision. I added the SM Pave in WG yesterday. I think I am officially done adding to my stack. Lol… anymore and it’s a bit of an overkill.

I am worried about 3 being overkill! Thanks for the pics, they really do look lovely.

Pavè love. Opinion of me, an Italian young man.

I wanted to update everyone (again). I bought the small pave love and initially loved it. But the more and more I looked at it, I fell out of love with it, regret the purchase, and kept thinking about the full pave. I think the small pave was just too skinny/underwhelming for the price. I learned that I am happier with statement pieces that I can wear on the weekends rather than subtle pieces I can wear everyday. I was able to exchange the small pave for the full pave and couldn’t be happier. I am now truly in love!! I will probably wear it alone and take my YG love off.

I love this more on you. You’ve made the right move.
i know the sm pave love is very well loved by many. My only issue is I find it too thin too（and especially in that price point). After playing with fine Jewelry for the past almost 2years, I know this is the kind of thin bracelet I tend to avoid now when I’m considering other pieces (Cartier or others).

Wow! You have given me a lot to think about. I actually think the full pavé looks beautiful with your regular Love.

Love this so much on you! It is beautiful you made the right decision if you felt that way about the thin. I do think you can wear this whenever you want and everyday if you feel like it. Looks lovely stacked with they plain but will also look amazing on its own. I hope to own the full size (one day).

You wear small pave so elegantly! I love it on you. Small pave is beautiful but the price is high for a non-stand alone piece. Beautiful stacked though. I would have no hesitation or regrets if it was about 10k lower haha. But you’re right, you can get a lot more bling or a more substantial piece with serpenti or even VCA clover at the same price point.

For reference, Cartier recently changed their policies to allow international exchanges (but no returns)! However, you will have to pay full price tax and will lose the tax you previously paid. I confirmed this with USA boutique and Canada boutique as I live near the border.

thank you.
And I agree it might make sense if it’s at a significant lower price point haha. Well, I guess we will never “win” when technicality comes into picture when it comes to such luxury house fine jewellery.
