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!
Wow 2 wg clovers stacked. I think that would be a first but I was guessing in my head that would be your choice. That would be a beautiful look.
I agree with you that the yellow sapphire butterfly ring would go beautifully with the wg and yg clover. But I have that looked covered with my big yellow heart diamond which is set in platinum. I plan to get another yellow diamond at some point. So no yellow butterfly for me. I have my 3 vca rings picked out to get over time already. So not looking to add to that list!

Wow, you gave me ideas of wearing both clovers together as I have the yellow sapphire butterfly ring. I just received my WG clover this weekend too. Here I stacked with WG serpenti

Regarding wearing lotus ring with serpenti brecelets, I love the look as both are beveled and with sharp edges. Actually I like it better than with clover. Here is a pic I took when I had it on.

I just love that you are rocking all that gorgeous bling and there you are with the store carts just casually going about your daily routine! JUST SO FABULOUS!
 
Agree 110% + .

We all buy by price. Reading between the lines, it may be that you bought this because it was a more affordable option. However, don't compromise. If what you really want is the guilloche or hammered gold or WMOP necklace but bought this instead, then return it and wait until you can afford what you really want.
If you keep this knowing it's not quite right, it's not going to quench that thirst. You will still want the other piece, but it will be that much more unattainable. I say wait.
And as a giant aside, I'm not a fan of the pure alhambra. It's gold, but to my eye, isn't particularly expressive or interesting. It's very plain. @BigAkoya hit the nail on the head when she wrote about the beaded border, and the guilloche finish of the vintage Alhambra and the guilloche. But that doesn't matter--if you love this, keep it.

Thanks guys- i think that’s why I’m hesitant because the pure necklace wasn’t a super deal, though vintage, I can afford to return to get the guilloche new from van cleef- or I found a good deal on the van cleef vintage MOP necklace, and I could get the earrings or matching bracelet for around the same price…

I think I’m going to return it because I did the same thing when I bought my Rolex- I don’t like to be really in-your-face designer, so I stripped it of the jubilee band, and the things that made it recognisably a Rolex, and now I wish I hadn’t haha.

I’d love your advice if I should get (1) a pre-owned small vintage 10 motifs MOP Alhambra + preowned MOP sweets earrings, (2) new guilloche 10 motif necklace, or (3) a new vintage bracelet either guilloche or stone…

the only VA I have now are sweets onyx earrings…
 
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.

Wear it in good health! It looks gorgeous on you! I know that you are not into stacking (like me) but my mind is wondering “how would clover pair with a WG blue agate or turquoise 5 motif”. They can also be on different arms, I get a lot of frozen vibe from this possible combination :smile:

I vote the 10 motif guilloche necklace. It’s a substantial piece and has the prettiest sparkle
 
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….
I don't think it will take long. I ordered mine in Jan, so it did not take long at all.
If you're a stacker, you will love it together. I have seen the YG Clover and Love stacked, and I think you will love the look.
I am so excited for you!

Oh! Right... a yellow heart diamond and others to follow.
So... you know how I mentioned I don't do yellow sapphires? It's for the same reason, so I totally get it. :biggrin:
Which are your three rings? Noeud?
I am running out of ideas for big VCA rings (Cosmos oynx BTF is a no. Hellebore, which I truly loved, they cancelled my order, big disappointment. Out of ideas).
