A bit of a delay posting but when I went to pick up my 5 motif hammered gold bracelet, this butterfly caught my eye and I just bought it on a whim. Now I’m debating whether to keep it or not. I still love it but worry it’s too ‘girly’. At the same time with lucky Alhambra line potentially being discontinued and an opportunity to pass it on to my daughter, I’ll most likely keep it. It pairs nicely with single hammered pendant.
If you are already having second thoughts, my gut feel says it was an impulse buy because you heard it will be "discontinued."
I personally would return it. These pieces should be love at first sight, maybe second sight!
Your daughter might not even like VCA or butterflies, so I would not use that rationale to keep it. People use the "pass it down" rationale too often to justify a purchase, and it's such a waste of money in my opinion.
I believe in buying for you, what you love. You can then buy for your daughter, what she loves.
When your daughter gets older and loves & wants a particular special item, I would buy that item for her. It will be more special as she loved the item, she wanted it, and you bought it for her. She will treasure it. This is opposite of a "I like it and want to give you what I like" gift. Kids see gifts so differently these days in my experience. Kids feel ten times more special if you get them what they want.
If you are collecting VCA, I would buy what you love.
For me, I prefer a more elegant look. I too have thought about the butterfly BTF ring, but I concluded the butterfly collection is too girly and cutesy for me. Everyone is different of course lots of folks like the butterfly collection, and it's all personal taste and your fashion look. I would put it on and see if it is a reflection of you and your personal style.
Just my two cents. I hope that was helpful for you to decide.
Congratulations on your bracelet!
