I’ve been inspecting my guilloche/pace bracelet for 5 solid minutes and still can’t tell the difference from one side to the other. Both sides of the prongs are perfect round pearls.

It took me a while to be able to see it on my bracelets. I used the magnifying feature on my phone. All my bracelets have both sides. After a very detailed closer look, now I understand more clearly was @LuckyMe14 was trying to say and showed on the puctures:).

Anyone own this five motif bracelet ? Do you love it or not ? How I wear and tear ? I was between this one and yellow guilochee but this bracelet is more readily available and possibly more interesting looking

I don't own it, but I tried it on multiple times and although it's more readily available I wasn't able to find the shade of red that I loved. The reds vary greatly and it's really difficult to get what you want unless you don't care what shade to get. I was after the more red vs. orange.

I was able to choose between two of the carnelian and RG guilloche bracelets and I got one which was a darker shade of red. So if you're able to get the shade of carnelian which you like then go for it. I have no issues with wear and tear.

There is a dedicated thread on the RG carnelian and guilloche collection that has tons more past info you can check out if you haven't already!

I love mine, I was able to get a perfect shade of red for my liking (it's in my display pic). I haven't worn it that much because I'm worried about my stack of bracelets (esp the Love) scratching the guilloche, so when I do wear it I baby it.

I'll be super honest this was my first Alhambra piece (I owned frivole and perlee) and I get eye fatigue looking at it regularly. I wore it 24/7 when I first got it and then didn't wear it for like 5 months (I've had it for like maybe 2 years?? how time flies). But in terms of wear it looks new and is fine. I shower/go in the pool etc with it on. I now wear it as an occasional piece (a couple weeks on a couple weeks off), but not as much as I thought. I wish there was an all RG guilloche bracelet as all my jewelry is RG.

I have it. But I did recently get it in February. I have had the 5 motif guilloche bracelet for many years and it looks great. Yes there are fine scratches but really I can't tell until I scrutinize it with a magnifying glass.

I feel like you are looking for something very carefree but still in the alhambra range. The hammered gold bracelet might fit you best. Or if you want stones, onyx or carnelian is a great choice. I also have an onyx bracelet that I wear all the time super carefree and it looks great. However, I have a friend who hates it because it shows fingerprint marks (doesn't bother me).

Best of luck on choosing your next piece!

Eventually, I got both this one and the 5 motif YG guilloche (came in this week). I still cannot choose between the two bracelets. I think both are gorgeous and serve a different purpose. I wanted something with color that broke the all gold look in my stack. I love red, so that was an easy choice. I wear both YG and RG, but have more YG overall. I think the RG & carnelian is a little more special with the alternating motifs. Good luck deciding! Let us know what you pick in the end :smile:

I have it. I got mine on the first day of relaunch in June 2023. I enjoy both the guilloche shine & pop of colour. No issue with wear & tear since I don’t sleep & shower in it.
I wear lots of black & neutral colours hence the red really helps to brighten up.
