RG Guilloche & Carnelian

[Yodabest]

Anyone have experience stacking a guilloche bracelet with the Cartier love? I’m thinking of getting the bracelet from this collection but nervous that it will cause scratches on the love. Also how does Guilloche tend to hold up? Would this bracelet look new in 5 years with regular wear?

My bracelet arrived today! And I got little chocolates.

I was definitely nervous about the carnelian color since I bought sight unseen and hoped it would be something that suited me and I think it hits the mark! It’s a dark burgundy red while on but it seems to be a true red when held to the light. It’s very complimentary of my skin tone.

Congrats on your new carnelian bracelet. I think mine is a very similar shade to yours based on your photos ☺️

My set arrived today. I think I love the necklace, it seems to be more of a dark true red, and I love 20s. I would love for it to be even more cool-cherry red, but I am happy with the dark true-red. The bracelet has a little bit more burgundy undertones, though it becomes more red held against the light, so I am unsure. I am thinking about it. A friend made an excellent point that the color of the bracelet is more important because you will be looking down at it frequently, and also I think you can bring out different tones in the necklace easier based on what you wear, while the bracelet is right on the skin.

Both are very pretty! Congratulations!

Both are very pretty! Congratulations!

Thank you! I will look at them again in natural light if the sun comes out tomorrow. That should help. Of course when I went out today my eye was attracted to everything that was a shade of red, trying to decide which I liked most and least. Then I realized that my brain would normally just process every shade as “red”, not burgundy-red, brick-red, RougeH-red, Lipstick red, Cherry red, Strawberry red etc, but I am trying to dissect the exact undertone in my pieces to evaluate if I love them or not. I will look at them again tomorrow with fresh eyes!

I may have to splurge on the necklace when they restock next year.

I would definitely take some time to see the bracelet in different lighting, but you’re right that the bracelet is what YOU will really be seeing everyday and it’s something you should love.

Thank you, yes I think the necklace is really pretty, and oddly I find that I do like that it is symmetrical (equal motifs of each). I will take a fresh look tomorrow in daylight and an open mind

I like this matching set.

I think a 10 motif RG guilloche will look beautiful

@nicole0612 Compare it with the carnelian that you already have please. I love the blue tones of it. I'd love to see how it compares to the new launch!

I would love to see more pics then too!

Knowing myself, I’m sure that I will take more photos so that I can analyze them more than I should!

I had been trying to think of something non-subjective for the color red I was hoping for. I even thought about H colors, but then I would have to specify in what leather…and I think I would lose most people there (probably the only people who would follow would be other members here, but my kind SA would certainly not). Right next to my VCA boxes all along was the perfect well-known red. I would say that my pieces are slightly deeper red, certainly within the realm of what I asked for. I do think there is a tint of burgundy, but she said she chose the bracelet with the most minimal hint brown they had in the store (the necklace was too limited to choose, it was just this one, the only reason I even got this was that I reserved it so early on). When held up to the light, they do look true red. Part of me wants to hold out for a hypothetical even “truer” red, or a blue-red/cherry red, but the other part of me knows that if I did not know there was a possibility of choice (if it was a discontinued piece, for example) and was just presented with these pieces I would be thrilled and love them.

This is mostly for @snowball. It’s pretty next to red, but look at the color popping next to white! I remember you saying you would like to wear the necklace with a white tee!

Zürich VCA store has a set (earrings and bracelet) just in incase anyone in Switzerland wants it. I tried on the earrings but they felt like they were sitting forward with the weight.

It is a beautiful red from pictures.
