Totally agree. The Love cuff is very uncomfortable to take on and off, plus I am in between sizes unlike the bracelet. Since I am not ready to commit to it yet, I will go with frivole earrings first

I bought a cuff for the very same reason, as well as having to witness a friend become nearly phobic because she could not get the regular Love bracelet off for weeks as the gold had melded over. She eventually went to a welder.
I can’t wait to get a Perlée clover bangle. I tried it on - fit beautifully but waiting for my Hermès call of a B30 in a 2019 color. It’s a constant battle -

YIKES on your friend and the Love bracelet!
The Perlee clover bangle is the most beautiful bangle I have ever tried on. I haven't decided if I'd get enough wear from it to justify having it, but there is no bangle that measures up to that one, IMO. (I have to stay out of the Hermes and Chanel forums.
)Hi,
Thanks DS2006 for your mention of the signature Perlee bracelet. I have been trying that one on, as well as the love bracelet mentioned. It does seem like I am between sizes on the VCA. I agree that I don’t think I want a bracelet that I cannot remove. I do like the cuff but I’m wondering about stacking with that. Does anybody have any experience with this? Also does anyone wear either of those bracelets with their watch? I have a steel Cartier watch that I wear every day and do not want to scratch the bracelets. Thanks in advance for your replies.

I have WG signature and it is my favorite bracelet. I don’t wear it with anything normally, on the rare occasion with a five motif, but 9/10 alone. No watch, nothing. I would hate for this bracelet to get scratched. I also have the love cuff and almost bought a WG love cuff. They don’t scratch on top of each other when stacked, but I don’t even like the idea of the perlee edges being scratched. So this is a stand alone piece for me. I didn’t buy the perlee bangle because it just didn’t look special enough for me.
I was meaning Perlee signature but I love the Perlee pearls of gold (d'or) bangle, as well. While I have pictures saved of fabulous stacks with the signature and pearls of gold bangles stacked with a vintage alhambra bracelet, I just can't do it because I'd want them all to stay in excellent condition.
I think Perlee signature and pearls of gold CAN be stacked together without hurting the other assuming the sizes are the same. I tried those on once.
I wear vintage alhambra alone, and I'd wear Perlee clover bangle alone if I ever get it. I wear my Cartier watch alone.
As far as the Cartier Love goes, cuff or full bracelet, it has sharper edges than the VCA, and if anything, I think it's more of a danger to scratch other pieces, and it is also more likely to be scratched itself since it has no protectice edges like the Perlee signature bangle does. So that is another bracelet that is probably best worn only with another Love. Although millions of people stack bracelets with the Love and it doesn't seem to bother them to get scratches!!!
I tried the perlee d’or (m) and it felt tight. The large was definitely too big. Same with the signature bangle (size). I went to Cartier to try the bangle and cuff. There are definitely times when I would not want to have that bangle on. I feel that it is a potential safety risk. I liked the cuff, but wasn’t sure if it was “it”. I admire all the posts with multiple bracelets but am unsure if it will work for me. So frustrating. I have a *big* anniversary coming up. Hubby would like to upgrade my watch, but again, I am between case sizes. I have tried Rolex and AP. Maybe VCA would be the solution, but have not been able to make a decision there either. I am hoping that a March announcement will provide some enlightenment. Thanks for your input
That's so frustrating to be between sizes in the VCA bangles! You make an excellent point about the safety risk regarding a bangle one cannot easily take off. Did you look at the Cartier watches? They have a good variety of case sizes. Like you, I am very much anticipating the new additions that VCA may announce! I do hope you can find the perfect piece for your anniversary! Please return and show us!
You're very welcome! I love getting feedback from others when I am deliberating a purchase.
I momentarily forgot you already have a Cartier watch! Sorry about that!
Lovely! I think you've changed my mind on the sweet alhambra bracelet.
My SA said that Blue Agate is on the same or at least similar level in terms of hardness as Onyx. anyone else hear the same thing?
Yes, they are both 7 on the Mohs scale of hardness and carnelian and tiger's eye are, too. That is still at a level that can scratch if something harder rubs or hits it, though. These and solid gold (with or without pave) would be my top choice for bracelets, although I may get a MOP just for occasional wear.
