Stack opinions

[Purrsey]

In 2021 I bought my first reg Love. I play around with other bracelet additions and also like to switch them between hands (except for my Love and JUC sm which are always glued to my right hand). I wear them all 24/7.

Days ago, I separated my JUC from Love and moved it to my left stack. I actually like it a lot I will want to keep it this way for some time.



So now, my right is just like 2021’s. And I like it too!

BUT, if on days I want to have double bracelet here, which new bracelet do you think will compliment? I have these thoughts and experiences :

1/ I am hoping for a Cartier too next; but it can sway.
2/ Clash - tried, love the piece and the stacked look a lot but the smallest clash doesn’t flush quite well with my Love (15). I’m quite bothered by that.
3/ I’m impartial to another reg Love bracelet (and with some diamond). May like the perfect flush look but I prefer something easily removed whenever I want to (ok sounds like Love SM fits the bill but I find it underwhelming on me, although I have a small wrist. Maybe you can help me take a look at the pics in my next post? And somehow I do not prefer to pair my pave SM with my Love. I prefer all my thinner bracelets to come together).
4/ Not a fan of Ecrou though I’ve never tried
5/ No VCA/Hermes (kind of strictly lol)
6/ No tennis bracelet
7/ Chaumet BML - another one that I really like (tried the alternating dia) but again, both don’t flush and it seriously crosses my love even with its smallest size.
8/ Bvlgari full pave Serpenti - this one really tops for me as the fit is best (can’t stress enough how comfy it wears and it sits quietly next to Love with zero crossing). But the price point also tops it all yikes. So this is out too of course.
9/ Or I could totally get a jeweller to customise one
10/ The stakeholder gives me a budget; hovering a reg love price. I wonder if it can deviate; I’m working on it

Not in a hurry but this is an overdue gift. I have time to making a wise choice.

With these pointers, can I borrow your recommendations especially there might be other jewelry I have never explored. TIA!

Some old shots I’ve tried on the pairing before at the stores.

I agree, the full pave serpenti w/ the love!! Is the demi pave not an option for you? Since you like the look but not the cost of the full pave...

Ah! I totally forgot about that one which I did try. Was too bedazzled by the full dia back then. After trying the full dia, then I tried the demi pave and unfortunately it didn’t quite sing to me and especially it only comes in RG. Bvlgari RG is pretty strong in pink (compared to Cartier’s). I think my skin tone cannot take that strong pink.
The non diamond does come in YG; but I prefer to have a teeny blink for this Serpenti.

Appreciate your input!

I vote for the demi pave YG to go with your plain Love ! I have a 4-diamond RG love and I pair it with either the full pave or demi pave RG Serpenti. (Yes I have two Serpenti—which is why I’m banned from buying for 2 years or more haha). The full pave is gorgeous but I can’t wear that to work.

I think you can find YG demi pave on Saks and US Bulgari. Saks will ship internationally but I don’t know how customs work.

 

[Serpenti_Love]

Also: @Purrsey I think the Clash comes in 14. I tried it on in the store once (too small for me so I got the 15). My second choice is the Clash with your Love!

You’re right! I googled and US site has the Demi in YG. My local Asia store doesn’t seem to carry it. Likewise on its online store.

Yes I did try the 14 Clash. Still doesn’t flush with love 15 unfortunately. But that piece has always been in my mind.

Could you please share a picture of a combination of your demi pave with love? I’m in the same boat - purchased 2 serpenti. Full pave in WG and I think it looks best on its own. But I’m still looking for the perfect neighbor for my RG demi pave one.

I now recall that the fitting is very different for the two bracelets you have. Do you find that it is so? You’re the best person to answer since since you have both.
The demi pave in S is so loose it overlaps my Love, while the full pave fits me like a glove.
I’m not sure if it’s because the demi is loosened due to wear (display piece).

 

[rileygirl]

So many pretty options. I really love that Chaumet. Wish I could try one on!

Yes that was my experience too! I probably tried 10+ bracelets in total and all the full pave’s are tight while the demi’s are looser. SA told me the full pave is usually tight but he’s not sure why the demi isn’t. I eventually found a demi that is smaller—but you can still see the size difference in the picture. It’s not noticeable next to the Love (size 16) because neither crosses over the Love. (I’ve also included a pic of the WG full pave for you see the tightness but I don’t own it ).

also @Mishella pic of demi + love. My RG Love is old so it looks like YG. I can’t seem to find good lighting!

 

[Serpenti_Love]

Yes I did try the 14 Clash. Still doesn’t flush with love 15 unfortunately. But that piece has always been in my mind.

Oh I see that’s such a shame. I love the Clash!

How about two Chaumet BML with love? I tried them and would like to get them when I’m out of this buying ban haha.

Ahh that’s a pity. Hope someday you can!

BML has always been in my list too but due to my love 15 being smallest , I have limitations in stacking flushed (or the least the best it can be). Chaumet bracelet smallest is 150. If they make 140 I think it might work. (My wrist is below 14cm).

Love that combo on you.

Thank you!

This is how the loose demi pave looked on me. I don’t prefer bracelets to rest on my hand so at that point I already strike this model out ha! (But mainly I couldn’t unsee the full pave).
