@chiaoapple, I agree about this SWEET version not really adding to your stack but it looks lovely nevertheless. Is that the SINGLE ROW PERLEE in the first pic?
@lisawhit, I much prefer this stacked with thinner pieces, in that way it can stand out. Great inspiration for those who are considering it.
The MINIMALIST ME preferring the look of the SINGLE ROW stacked with the SIGNATURE alone !!! Thank you for sharing.Tried the sweet perlee clover bracelets at the store today. It’s a nice stacking option but it’s not pure love for me. Again, I have learnt ‘never say never’ with Hermès and VCA so that’s all I will say.
Took a few pics of different stacking options for those considering it. Hope this is helpful.View attachment 5112080View attachment 5112081View attachment 5112082View attachment 5112083View attachment 5112084
I was asking the same question when I saw the photo - love it!I think the Single Row is such understated elegance
Thank you for the beautiful pics. Very helpful, as is everyone else's who have shared. I still feel this piece is pretty and has potential to one day come home. I will just need to see it irl and determine how it will be paired and also go into it knowing this is a pairing/layering piece. I suppose one shouldn't have to "work so hard to find a way for this piece to be worn" but I am trying to see it not as a Perlee clover alternative. It is not. Im looking at it from the perspective that it is just another design option for us to layer WITH our other Perlee line pieces (or other brands) just like the Perles, 1 row, 3 row, Signature, etc. By comparing the the two, I'm setting myself up for disappointment. I know I cannot want the impact of the original at the price of its little sister (would be nice though); in that case I should stick to another original. All the combinations you have shown here look good together. To be honest though: its that two butterfly ring (in all its options) which kills me every time (in a good way). You have the most elegant way of wearing these pieces. Pure eye candy. Thank you.Tried the sweet perlee clover bracelets at the store today. It’s a nice stacking option but it’s not pure love for me.

I am totally with you! I actually prefer no more than a couple of bracelets stacked together for everyday wear! That’s how I usually wear my perlee bracelets. Perlee clover is usually worn alone or with my white mop 5 motif on my left wrists and the single row with signature bracelet are on my right wrists.
Thank you so much
… you are very very kind. I am with you that the sweet perlee clover bracelet cannot be seen as an alternative for the original perlee clover bracelet. Anyone who thinks that is setting themselves up for some major disappointment. As a layering alternative it’s nice to have but at that price point I am struggling but then I have issues with all luxury brands insane price points so I guess that’s a moot point
… it’s all about perception and the price we are willing to pay is a reflection of the subjective value of that object for us.One thing I did feel strongly about was that if I was ever going to add it as a stacking option it would have to be the WG one because it brings out a nice contrast to my original RG perlee clover bracelet. And this coming from someone who does not like WG on her skin tone!! I felt the RG version just blended with the my other bracelets and added nothing special to my stack.
Regarding the butterfly BTF ring, I am so enamored by it! I am still torn between adding that this year or just get the Frivole pave earrings and pendant to match my Frivole pave BTF ring! I got some first world problems it seems
I hear you on the prices and it is something I am struggling with on this piece especially. I am the reverse to you regarding the metal color but working along the same concept: Where you are possibly considering the thin WG to add with your RG, I have the WG original and am looking to add the thin RG (if I do). Mind you, any other pieces as part of this stack which I add in the future will also likely be RG. I think the two together add a nice contrast, otherwise, yes, it all ends up being a bit too much of one color.Thank you so much

Re: the ring vs earrings: if you know your eventually going to get the ring perhaps complete your Frivole set first. I think that would be nice. Then you are "done" that collection and can move on to the next. Who knows you may decide to move on to a "Fauna" collection next by not only getting the ring but also earrings or a pendant. Like you said: never say never! I am existed to see your next steps and am sure they will be the best decision for you! Again, thanks for all those lovely pics.
I think this is a hard pass due to the price point For a stacking piece. I like the look of two bangles with the vintage Alhambra. But that is over $31K. And for that amount of $, I’m buying something else.
ETA: the Graff bangles are looking better and better.

Funny you mention Graff...I just emailed them regarding some Tilda's Bow pieces. Sadly the only store we have is across the country form me! But yes, I think Graff has some outstanding fun pieces as well. They definitely have some alternatives to VCA which are beautiful...Off topic I know....
I first see pics of these thin clover bracelet in some Arabian IG which I genuinely thought they are some form of replica/ tribute to the original version. Now that VCA has released it I think they are trying to fill in a price gap when it comes to their bangle. I see they are trying to catch up with the stacking trend by making the thin version of the original clover. its good for stacking but so far I haven’t find a stack with it that get me hooked ~ I like the orignal version still but not the hefty price tags

I agree with you 100%! WG and RG clover bracelets add such an interesting dimension to the stackZ like you, I would only do RG for anything else I add to the stack. I am only willing to deviate with WG clover!
Haha! With VCA and H honestly, anything and everything is possible! I never thought I would wear an animal print as a shawl but with Hermès I changed that mindset and now again with VCA I am doing the same with the butterfly ring! I never thought I would own a fauna piece! Gotta think some more on what to add next. I have sometime and I always feel planning is more than half the fun!
