I almost never post mod shots as I stink at taking photos and am on the shy side when it comes to photos.
That said, I just have to share a recent favorite item!
Some of you might know my love for striped tops with shorts. Well, striped tops are not only for the summer! :biggrin: :heart:
Below is my new favorite striped cashmere top. I wear it with skinny jeans. I love it so much, I ordered two! :nuts::heart:

But wait.. there's more... my new WG Clover arrived today. :yes:
It fits looser than I remember, and I love it! @glamourbag , I am so glad we talked about this, and I went with the medium like you. Thank you!

My arm doesn't look like a log as it did when I tried it on. If it does, I'm in denial as I love the bangle so much, I can't see my log arms. Who cares anyway as it's all about the bling! :biggrin: Here are photos of the bracelet with the Lotus and Frivole. I also did a closeup of the bangle to show how loose it fits.

It's a gorgeous bracelet. Wear it well and in good health. I like the cashmere sweater too--the colors remind me of sorbet!

Mine are all RG. There isn't much difference between the two. I think it would be pretty w YG too. Have you tried them together?

Yes I tried all 3 on many many times when I first bought but have not in years. So I will need to try again. I doubt I would just wear the two together on their own. I would more likely add in my diamond bangles to integrate them together better.

So so beautiful! Both of your rings really compliment the clover bangle. I never thought the lotus ring could be worn casually but you have just proven to me it can be!

Beautiful! Congrats!
I just placed an order for one in yellow gold which I need to wait for since there are currently none in all of North America :giggle:

I * love* how it looks by itself so I’m hoping to love it stacked with my love bracelet!
Otherwise, guess we have two wrists for a reason….

Thanks! I am leaning towards a second. I still think the serpenti goes better with the lotus but if I wear to get say the noeud the wg clover would work with both. I also am starting to believe the clover has more longevity for me. This will be a 2023 decision so time to ponder more.
I stack 7 bangles daily so I am use to the jingle. I actually find the more bangles I stack the less they jingle. They slide back and forth together.
what bracelet would you add to stack?
Click to expand...
Wow... a 7 bangle stack. Okay, you definitely do not mind the jingle.
Seeing how "dainty" the Clover is, you can definitely wear the Noeud with a YG Clover and a WG Clover. If I mixed metals and had a Noeud, that's what I would do. I think it would look great!

What would I choose as a second bangle?
If I ever decide to jingle, I would get a second WG Clover, no doubt in my mind. I know exactly the look I want which is a the look of one bold bangle with a big presence. Think Gladiator/Wonder Woman-wide-bangle look if that makes sense. I love a simple yet striking bold wide bangle/cuff. To get that effect, I don't like mismatched bangles as the eye goes all over the place, and it looks like one is wearing many different bangles, which is the case. Hence that's why I would get a second WG Clover to get a clean but bold look. It would be similar to the two matching WG MOP 5 motif bracelets I have. I don't know if you recall that photo I posted with the two matching bracelets. It gives it a bolder look, yet it is still clean and allows the eye to focus as the bracelets are the exact same. It's all preference of course as some people don't like big bracelet look at all. I think the Noeud worn with both the a WG Clover and YG Clover would give the same effect, but a two-tone look, as they are the same bracelets. It would be a really nice and blingy mixed metal look.

On Clover vs. Serpenti...
I think Clover is a very different look than Serpenti. VCA to me is more old world glamour. Serpenti is very contemporary. For me, what I do not like about Serpenti is the bezel and sharp corners. I am not a bezel fan, and the trapezoid frame around the diamonds is too sharp edged to me. Not mention, I don't like the look... it's like fitting round pegs in a square which is exactly what Serpenti is (e.g. putting round melee diamonds in a trapezoid shape). The sharp edged contemporary look is not my aesthetic. I prefer designs that are more fluid and enhance the curves of the female body. That's just me of course, and everyone has their preferences.

Oh oh oh... another idea for a ring... we were just talking about this on the other thread...
You know how much I love rings, and you know how fabulous I think your long slender fingers are for rings...
If you get a WG Clover and wear it with your YG Clover...
Buzz buzz buzz... I think the yellow sapphire and diamond butterfly BTF ring would be amazing. I can see that arm now! :nuts:
For me, if I get that butterfly BTF ring, it would most likely be the pink sapphire and diamond version as I am not a fan of yellow sapphire. The yellow sapphire butterfly though would look great with two mixed metal Clovers!

Thank you!
Outside of work hours (which work hours is stuffy suits for me), I am the queen of casual. Think striped tops with shorts or skinny jeans! But I bling out! You will never catch me without bling. :biggrin: It's just my look. I wear the Lotus ring casual all the time, so if you're thinking of getting it, go for it! It's really easy to wear. Very fun!
