Is your perlee clover slighter larger than the others? The perlee clover in the small was much larger than my other small perlee bracelets-that's why I asked.Hello, I happen to have all three bracelets you mentioned above and I have them in all the same size medium. Hope it helps. Happy shopping!
Are your bracelets from 2017 or earlier? I recall vca changed sizing then and the old small is the new Xs. I only own the clover perlee so not helpful on comparison.
Mine are about the same. They are not exactly the same as it's handmade but not too much different.
Mine are all about the same. Thin one is slightly larger but not too much. I guess they are all hand made and it won’t be as exact? Hope it helps.

Yes, I think they're all from 2017. That explains it. I thought I was going out of my mind. You're so helpful-thank you!
Well, not to confuse anyone but just wanted to tell that my clover is before 2017 and others are from after. Still the sizing is the same for mine.

Dear pinkbirkin77, it's not a question of size, it's a question of fit. All of these bracelets are marked Small. However, the size small in the new perlee clover fits differently from my older size small perlee bracelets, and when compared, the diameter is slightly bigger. At the time I bought my perlee, the extra small was not an option, so if the sizing/marking was changed in 2017, that might account for my confusion over the sizing.
I am confused what exactly happened in 2017. Mine are all same size and "same fit" before 2017 and after. Maybe VCA made some adjustments to only S and XS?
@Happyish, what year did you buy your Perlee Clover? The NEW SMALL was added in 2017 as an in-between size to the OLD SMALL and OLD MEDIUM.
You could have purchased an OLD SMALL in 2017 even though the sizing was changed that year.
The OLD SMALL has become the NEW EXTRA SMALL. HTH.
Exactly as Hadassa has explained! I waited for this addition of the "between size" , the "new" small was perfect for me. The old small (now known as the extra small) was just a bit too tight for me.

I haven't bought the perlee clover. I tried one on in the size small and assumed it was the same as my other size smalls (I have three non-clover perlee bracelets and they stack nicely--see below). This didn't stack at all, it overlapped and I could almost get four fingers inside. Wow, was I surprised. I now assume, it was made after the change-over. Thank you everyone for your help! I'm now no the look-out for an extra-small.
Hi everyone
just want to share my first VCA purchase! It’s the sweet Alhambra MOP necklace...Only now that I’ve seen it in person I’m really considering exchanging it and paying the extra for the vintage size as it is pretty tiny once you wear it. Just wondering if the Alhambra size is wearable as a regular necklace. My plan was to have the sweet as an everyday necklace but my guess is the Alhambra size will be a bit big for that purpose? Also have it on my wish list to get the matching earrings but now I’m not so sure which size!Let me know what you guys think sweet vs vintage.

I have the sweet Alhambra necklace in solid rose gold and wear it as a daily necklace. I'm only 5'3" and quite petite so it works well on my frame. If I were to choose a necklace with a stone like MOP, I'd probably size up to the vintage, although it wouldn't be an every day piece. It's all up to personal preference, however.
I think vintage is the perfect size for every day. The sweet is too dainty for me, I think it would probably need to be layered - but it is very much personal preference. I think you can print out the sizes on the VCA website to get an idea.

If you're already thinking it's too small, it's too small and it's not going to get any bigger. Moreover, as my mother said, "jewelry shrinks," and I'm afraid it's true.
If I can offer my opinion, I don't think the alhambra size is too big for everyday, in fact I think it's the perfect size. My everyday is the magic size (and I'm tiny) but it's a question of what you're comfortable with. If you're already having second thoughts-pay attention . . .
