Hello!

I am looking to present to my girlfriend a VCA Bracelet and i want an iconic one for her; but trying to study the different options, i got lost in the site.

I am sure i want a 5 or 6 Motif one. I am sure my budget is limited and can’t go to the very bling ones, so, would go to the ones max 6-7k…

And i am not sure about anything else; which metal, which kind of Motifs…

If helps; my gf is a 20-30s blonde skinny girl, and her only jewelry at the moment are a couple of Cartier bracelets (love & juc), some chaumet bee love, and some no brand with diamonds (earings, rings…) and some no brand with green emerald (ring, necklace)

Thanks in advance!
 
Not a big preference for any metal; she has WG and YG in same proportion.

About metal/or metal&stone; not preference again.

Colours; she like all.

Thats why i did not choose still…

Thanks!

I would get her a MOP bracelet. I’m in my 20s and everyone my age goes for MOP or onyx depending on their complexion. The mop yellow gold is the most popular. It’s very versatile and all the mop stones are unique

My own view is, at the risk of killing the romance of it all, can you ask her which bracelet she wants? Pick out a few options that you are comfortable to purchase and have her decide.
Also it seems she currently only has “hard” bangle style bracelets — does she want/like a ”soft” chain link bracelet like the 5 motifs?
I have heard a few unfortunate stories of people buying their partners surprise jewellery which the recipient did not like at all, and since this is not a cheap gift, perhaps you can at least get her to hint at what colour/style she prefers.
Lastly, it is so lovely of you to consider getting your girlfriend a VCA piece and making the effort of posting here for advice. Good luck!
 
Agree with @chiaoapple , if you can just ask her.
My husband nearly bought me a 10 motif necklace and ended up telling me before he bought it. Good thing he did because it wasn’t something I wanted 100%. We ended up going to Cartier together and I picked out a watch.

Or, (something my husband likes to do on occasion) just bring her in the store to try them on and watch her reaction to wearing different pieces. If she happens to fall in love with something just buy it on the spot for her. It incorporates the surprise while allowing her to decide and make a choice.

Regardless, I’m sure she’ll be a happy lady! :biggrin: Have fun and good luck!
 
You are so sweet to even consider such a lovely gift. As @lill_canele and @chiaoapple said giving her the option would be wonderful. But how about even making a day of it for her and taking her for a surprise visit to a VCA store and allowing her to experience the whole process of choosing and buying her first five motif. Just call your local store in advance and tell them you want to bring your GF in for her first five motif and they will be happy to set aside time and assign you an SA. You guys will like get a longer appt with champagne and an introduction to many of their pieces. It would be so fun for you both and you will have scored major points for arranging the whole event. Just a suggestion.
 
Hello!!! I missed the forum one day, and got so much and good answers...i am really happy with that and i very appreciate!

@EpiFanatic , i understand you very well, when i am doing, time to time, surprises to my GF, consisting in purchasing her something and then to give, i always think; auuu, what a pitty, i am sure she would enjoy this buying process, maison magic, even would decide for another size or colour... ( or just another item)

Here @lill_canele and @chiaoapple (thanks for the sweet words) are right aswell. About soft style, yes yes, she likes. The "no brand" stuff she has is rather "soft". To be honest, she is not fan of too chuncky/hard/massive stuff (could consider a bit rude), but from another side, i guess she like iconic.

Returning to the "go together option", well, i was thinking about to purchase the present in a travel of mine going just myself, so, would be kind of not possible. I am going to UK London next week and is when i decided i could proceed (if they have stock, i am not sure how it works with this brand/products). I did some of my homework and fixed an appointment throw the website.

Finally, about @fashionelite suggestions, i think i am more in the MOP opinion rather than the Onyx. And i am and Onyx lover; i have two day-date stone dial Rolex that could share with her for some jewelry matching; one with Onyx dial, another with Lapis dial. But from another side; i feel the MOPs so sweet, soft, and easy to combinate with all (very neutral)... could be a good choice! Not sure if YG or WG again, like both options... But all is more clear.

Again, thanks a lot for the long, good, and cute answers :)

Best,
