I have been looking for a nice bangle for my wife. It seems like Hermes does not give you a lot of stones for the price. For example, this Kelly looks nice but for the same price, wouldnt the Bvlgari with actual 0.3 carat of d-f color and vvs clarity diamonds plus the 0.6 pave diamonds be a "better" value? Hermes doesnt even give you diamonds for $11k

Hermes is not renowned for being "good value for money" that's for sure. So if you like the look of the Bvlgari bracelet, you should go for it. Carat for carat wise, Hermes is always going to be more expensive.
 
Hermes fine jewelry is definitely more expensive for what you get no doubt. But I do think you're getting a very good quality piece. My gold hermes jewelry so far seems to be more hardy and resistant than my gold pieces from other brands like Cartier and Tiffanys. Wish it was slightly cheaper though lol.

Thanks for this @Yoshi1296. I am eyeing the filet d'or in rose gold and glad to hear your experience.

It doesn’t seem like many women get the Kelly with the black gems. Most get the diamonds instead. I think the black gems plays nicely off the rose gold. Is there a reason I haven’t seen many pictures? If anyone has purchased it, I’d love your feedback and if you regret not getting the diamonds.

It's a new piece, I believe, so there probably aren't many out there yet.

I tried on the Kelly with spinels towards end of last year. Here's a pic.

Also, for comparison there's also the CDC with spinels that @GNIPPOHS shared here. Personally I think the CDC bangle looks better than the Kelly.
 
YES...that’s it. It was rose gold and was the most wearably blingy bracelet ever, if that makes sense. I could see it going with everything from dressy to casual without overpowering anything.

It was beautiful, but it’s too many k’s for not enough bling for my liking.

Wow, that seems like a great wearable blingy everyday bracelet, but definitely not for that price. Plus I've lost 2 bracelets with similar toggle closure. It would give me a heart attack to even begin to wear such an expensive bracelet without a more secure closure

Both are beautiful but very different. I've found Bulgari to be relatively "better value" per diamond carat weight compared to other jewelry houses, but face it, designer jewelry always has an unavoidable brand mark-up, so it comes down to the design you or your wife prefers.

I agree the CDC looks better with the spinels, more of an edgy design overall. I do like the Kelly bangle with white diamonds, but then again that's another 2.6k or so

I can't get some of these lovely pieces out of my mind! If anyone owns this galop ring, would appreciate a modelling shot. thank you ! View attachment 4357415
Echoing @Amka, I love this ring. Mine is also the very small model. It’s very dainty. H rose gold doesn’t dissapoint:)
