So pretty :smile: If you had to choose only one, which would you keep?

I'm still debating between the 6 motif vs a 5 motif bracelet. I plan to wear it on it's own and want it go with any outfits. Just worried the 5-motif is more blingy since they'd stand out on my relatively small wrists.

I’m not the person you tagged but wanted to chime in on my thoughts, I’m in the small minority that prefers my Sweets over VA bracelets for everyday. My eyes don’t ever get tired of the Sweets size even after many years and find they go with everything. I find the VA size more dressy and more situational dressing (especially in YG/RG), but that’s just my personal style and preference. I sent my RG 6 motif and sweet butterfly for shortening and I missed them immensely in the 2 weeks we were apart (lol dramatic).

Like tenshix, I would keep the sweets definitely if I can only keep one. It is so dainty and easy to wear in all situations. Good luck with your decision!

Thank you both for your reply! And it was definitely a question for anyone with both bracelets!

The 5-motifs seem to be more common in the forum (probably cuz there's different solid gold and stone options, they're dressier and fun) and so I haven't seen too many pics of people with both the 6-motif sweet and 5-motif.

I also wonder if the 5-motif is more 'worth it', for the price? Kinda like how ppl say a 5-motif bracelet is a better buy than a single VA pendant necklace (cuz its 3550 for one motif necklace, but 5350 for 5 motifs bracelet..). I know ultimately I should buy what I like and will wear (because cost per wear is prob the best measure lol).

Many of the ladies on this forum have shared really good advice about buying the piece you want and will use/cherish vs what you think is a better “value”. I think if you buy based on perceived value and not what you truly loved you might regret your purchase later on. You know your own personal style best so pick the one that makes you very happy and makes you feel beautiful when you wear it! I like that the 6 motifs are low maintenance and I don’t worry about if it’s safe to get the motifs wet. If you were considering between the solid hammered 5 motif versus 6 motif they give a really different look so I would try it on at the store and see which one you feel more beautiful in. If you were planning to get both and wear both eventually you could try prioritizing the one you love more first. Good luck with choosing, there’s no wrong way here!
