Thank you so much :hbeat: … 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:biggrin:… 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 :yes:
I echo the same sentiment as @glamourbag, the Frivole Earrings will be GAME, SET, MATCH :hbeat: :love:

I vote Frivole earrings and pendant. You already have the super gorgeous Frivole BTF ring, no need to add another ring yet. I would focus on getting a set. A Frivole set is spectacular.
Just my two cents. Good luck deciding!

It’s just crazy how mindsets change after trying a piece multiple times! I was on the fence with the Frivole earrings and now after trying them on multiple times at the store I am so in love with them that I know I am bringing them home 100% … thank you for always giving your honest opinion to everyone and helping them with their thought process! Now I totally understand your love for Frivole earrings because I feel the same finally :hbeat:…. I am in two minds about the pendant versus the butterfly ring now. Part of me says get the Frivole earrings and the butterfly ring this year, and then the rational part says ‘You just got the Frivole BTF ring. Enjoy that first!’.

Since I like sets of two, my Frivole set would be complete with the earrings and the ring. For the pendant, I tried the RDN mini pendant in white mop at my store and now I am crushing over it! If VCA releases the mini pendant in onyx I would be all over it! I got problems!:biggrin:

I am so glad you decided to get the earrings. You will love them and what a gorgeous set! If you can get both, I would do both the earrings and butterfly ring. I was in a similar situation as you.. I got the Lotus ring recently after I purchased Frivole, and I am really glad I did.

But after you get these two pieces... that's it! :biggrin:
I said the same thing to myself after getting a bunch of stuff recently. One important thing I tell myself... The fun of collecting jewelry is not buying everything at once.
The fun of collecting jewelry is pacing yourself. To enjoy your recently acquired pieces, but to also dream & plan wisely how you want to build to your collection.

So... I vote buy the Frivole earrings and butterfly ring now!
Then, control thyself, enjoy your new pieces, and start dreaming & planning again.
It will be twice as fun. :biggrin:

I am so happy for you! Congrats in advance!

Thank you so much! You are so right! I always remind myself that I am in for the long haul and not to rush into buying things all at once. Half the fun, maybe more is planning, strategizing! We have to take the time to smell the roses:hbeat:… and yes, I am leaning towards getting both the butterfly ring and the earrings this year and then taking a small break to enjoy everything I have. By the time I am ready to get back to buying again, I am sure VCA would have released new things to lure me again:biggrin:
 
I got to try on the ring and the bracelet today while I was at the boutique. Much better in person but I still like the OG one better.

Tried on a few pieces today. I love the ring, but the bracelet definitely looks best stacked. I quite like the idea of wearing it with only the Cartier love.
I tired it today too. 100% agree with you it is a stacking piece not an "on its own piece". I tried it with the Perles D'Or and my original Perlee Clover and actually really liked it.

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. :biggrin:

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 really like the thin perlee stacked with the single row!
 
The thin perlee is really a good stacking option. Are you considering it?

Probably not. Not in a couple years at least. I’m still saving up for the regular size perlee or a single row lol

Also for the sweet perlee, I feel it goes better with other bracelets that are thinner as well. I have reg love and reg JUC, so far from the pics I’ve seen not a big fan. And you can see that, I tend to get regular versions lol
