Here are photos from when I tried on the sweet six motif and the vintage bracelets, both in rose gold. Interestingly, I like how the sweet looks more than the vintage in these photos, but in real life the vintage size was the clear winner. (I'm not petite, 5'7".) I would get the vintage with two links removed between each motif. Probably will buy it this year.

I just got the bracelet back - much better! Looks like they took out 4 links btwn each motif... there are now 11 links between each. It still is loose- didn't want it to be snug but not too loose like it was before- my SA said she was sending the links but I didn't see them in the pouch (they usually send them back to you). Here is a pic of what it looks like now:

I also really like it, is the motifs same size as the sweet pendant? I haven't been able to go in person to try it yet.

I am thinking about getting a vca alhambra bracelet. not sure whether i should get the vintage 5 motif or the sweet 6 motif. I have very skinny wrists (wear perlee bangle size xs). Do you have any recommendations for me? Which feels more comfortable wearing if you need to type etc? Thank you!

Many people here have tiny wrists and have either 4 or 8 links removed (between the motifs) from the vintage bracelet. I initially bought a sweet bracelet and exchanged it for a vintage because I felt the size of the vintage was best for the long term.

I would probably say the sweet is very comfortable it’s small so it doesn’t get in the way at all. I had both my 5 motif and sweet 6 shortened a good amount. I think either would be great. The sweet is a little more casual to me... GL!

Reviving this thread.
Owners of sweet 6 motifs, how are you still liking it? I am seriously considering for casual everyday wear to stack with CDC rose gold bracelet, thanks

I still love mine and never take them off for daily wear! The vintage size I find to be more dressy and I only wear them when I’m in the mood. But I love love my sweets and prefer to have them on me at all times. Sometimes I keep it all on one arm or split them up (white gold on the other arm). My sweets are my favorite daily jewelry, they spark a lot of joy for me.

Are you thinking of the RG 6 motif to stack with the CDC? If you don’t mind fine scratches on the CDC or mind to wear your 6 motif super tight so it doesn’t slide around as much under/over your CDC I think that would be perfect for a daily stack. I personallyhaven’t shortened any of my sweets yet, I let them dangle from the last clover like a charm since I like the original distance between the clovers so they are worn pretty loose. I find it comfortable this way but I know some ladies like a tighter fit.

In the photo I’ve spaced them out but they definitely fall down the wrist since they’re loose.

Thanks tenshix for your response. You have the perfect stack!

Like you I have tiny wrist and find the vintage size too big for daily wear, and I wouldn’t/ couldn’t wear my onyx into shower. Been contemplating on the six motifs rose gold and don’t plan on taking on and off. I did get the vintage size shortened.

I only wear Tiffany Tee and vintage onyx on special occasions, and I have a very casual lifestyle.

You’re right about scratching the CDC, but it is already scratched from my daily abuses.

Aw thank you! I do love my sweets for daily, they stack great. If you want something to leave on I think it will be a lovely addition to your current stack. Even better with the Perlee d’or stacked too!! Sorry I’m a terrible enabler lol

Yes, like I need the enabling, ha haa!!
Called my SA to get a hold of the sweet six motifs for me, she said no hammer gold pieces in stock at the moment.

The shortage of stock has been annoying to deal with, have you tried the online boutique if they have it there? It sucks it won’t add to building your relationship with your SA but if you wanted it sooner it might be easier that way. You can also call the hotline and see if they can find a store that does have it in stock and ship from there.
