My special order grey MOP / pink gold bracelet. Thank you for letting me share.

Congrats! Beautiful bracelet! Question about love bracelet? Is it YG or PG and do you take it on and off or do you keep it on all the time? If you take it on and off, does it have any affect on the mechanism? That's the reason I am not sure if I can get it since I am not comfortable wearing jewelry 24/7.

Thanks! I was thinking the same, start with earrings, then move on to the watches.

I think that's a good plan. I am not sure I'd want an Alhambra watch because I wouldn't wear Alhambra on both wrists, neck, and earrings at the same time, so I think the watch would get the least wear. I do love the diamond clover one, though. I really like Cartier watches and think they go well with VCA. JLC, Patek Phillipe, and other luxury watch brands would be worth considering as well.

Hi! Thanks so much. <3

All of my Love bracelets are PG, but I'll admit to you that the colour delta between YG and PG for Cartier is, well, negligible at best. I keep them all on all the time, and actually used to wear more 24/7 than my current stack. It's been my experience that not only did I get comfortable wearing jewelry all the time, I actually feel *uncomfortable* if I take them off for any reason! They definitely become a part of you and feel comfortable when worn - showering, sleeping, etc. Hope this helps. :flowers:

I agree! I have Ballon Bleu watch which goes well with Alhambra necklace and will go well with frivole earrings.

This definitely helps. I am just not sure if I can wear it all the time. I tried on YG love bracelet today and also the cuff with one diamond. It's really hard to get the cuff on and off. The bracelet fits much better. Now for the first love bracelet trying to decide between plan or the one with 4 diamonds.

Have you considered the VCA perlee signature bangle to wear with Alhambra pieces? I think it looks so much better than Love bracelets with Alhambra, plus it's easy put on and take off (and that keeps it in better condition, too). I know you weren't really asking for advice on that, so forgive me if I am intruding!

Thanks for the advice, I actually have looked at perlee bracelets but haven't tried them on yet, it is a good idea. It's just that wanted love bracelet for a very long time but was afraid to get it because I am not sure I can wear it all the time. And if I were to get it, still not sure between plan vs. 4 diamonds. Should I get the 4 diamond one or get a classic plan and add something to it like frivole earrings?

I like the diamonds, but I'd be very afraid to buy a regular Love when you are not sure you'd want to wear it 24/7. I do have two friends who have the cuff and like it because they don't want to wear it 24/7 or even everyday. If I were to buy one, I'd buy the Love cuff, but I love the VCA perlee bangle more! I like keeping my jewelry in excellent condition, so I wouldn't wear any bracelet 24/7, personally. I know it's popular, but only do what you are comfortable with! I love the Frivole earrings, too!
