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.

This is beautiful. I would love to see what they look like when fallen down, intertwined. I imagine it looks quite feminine and romantic.

Thank you so much dear :hugs: I’ve been wearing the WG pave alone on my right arm lately which is usually my bangle bracelet arm but I’m giving my Loves a rest after many years and I’ve been enjoying the dainty look! It’s what prompted me to try and build out my WG bracelet collection actually; I’m usually more drawn to the warmer tones of YG/RG but I just love how white & shiny the VCA WG is compared to the masculine greyish Cartier WG which is what I was wearing before.

Here’s some photos of the RG 6 motif and my Sweet Butterfly, I have pretty small wrists (13cm) and I find these to fit perfectly with my casual style. I decided not to shorten my Sweets because I like the spacing between motifs and didn’t want them to be too close. Having the last motif dangle like a charm doesn’t bother me personally. Even though the bracelets tangle most of the time since they are loose the butterfly usually still “pops out” at some angles. I’ll try to get some photos with the WG when I stack them back together at some point.

This is so whimsical and romantic, the butterfly intertwined among clovers. I love this dainty look! Thank you for the photos. I am newly enchanted by the sweet line after realizing how much I love to wear my sweet 16 necklace doubled up and layered.

Oh I love that!! The 16 is on my wishlist, I think doubled up and layered definitely gives more presence too. I am a fan of both dainty & bold jewelry but lean towards dainty for daily wear. I wish they made more Sweet options as I find the line more “me” and fits my style & frame. Thank you for your kind words!
 
I have quite a large wrist- opposite problem of you lovely ladies so far lol! Can they lengthen the bracelets? And if so, do you know if any of its complimentary? Thanks!
Yes, the bracelets can be lengthened. There is a maximum length, but it is generous. It is complementary if you have it done after purchasing, but in some cases there is a time limit (depends on location and SA), mine have always been complementary but the strictest standards seem to be either 30 days or 90 days after purchase.

I love how dainty and pretty this looks! Is the 6-motif here worn with one dangling motif? Just wondering cuz the first pic of where the bracelets are past your wrist bone is where I like my bracelets to sit when my hand / arm is down.

I went back and forth on if I should shorten my sweet mop bracelet and ended up shortening it by 1cm so I can wear it more comfortably on the shortest link.

Thank you!! Yes exactly, I let 1 motif dangle instead of permanently shortening it because I liked the distance between motifs. It’s about 1cm shorter that way.

Ooh would you mind showing mod shots of what your bracelet looks like shortened? I always wondered if I would like the shortened distance between motifs, but I’ve been comfortable wearing them dangling for years. Maybe your photo will help me decide. What size in cm is the wrist that you wear your 6 motifs with? Thank you dear :flowers:

Ahh sorry for the confusion, I don't have the 6 motifs bracelet. I shortened my single motif sweet alhambra bracelet:

Not as complicated since there's only 1 motif. I don't have it with me but they gave me the removed links in 2 segments. They removed links from both ends of the bracelet to make it even.

I had mine shortened by 1 inch, my wrist is slightly bigger at 13.5cm so you'd be fine with this size too I think, if you were so inclined. :flowers:

Also, from the side you can see 4 clovers. ;)

This looks perfect! The motifs don't look too crammed close together at all. All these mod shots are making me want the 6-motif bracelet more. The 5-motif vintage motifs bracelet is on my wish list but I wonder if the 6-motif would be more wearable.
