Hi! I tried on Tilda’s bow. It’s a new collection, and it’s dainty. They have pieces that are not online such as a large bow ring. I’ll post a photo in the “what other jewelry” thread to keep this thread on topic (so I don’t get banned!).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....

Wow. . . I’m totally going to eat my words. I recently tried this on and fell in love! I’ve been looking for a thin bracelet to add to my stack to break up all the rose gold. It was simply stunning! 
I was considering getting a tennis bracelet but am looking at this instead. All of my logic and opinions about the design and price have been utterly thrown out the window!
What does everyone think? I’m going to think really hard on it since I sometimes purchase jewelry impulsively and later wish I would have allocated my funds differently. Here is a try-on pic (not mine yet):

Hi! The thin size looks nice in your stack.Wow. . . I’m totally going to eat my words. I recently tried this on and fell in love! I’ve been looking for a thin bracelet to add to my stack to break up all the rose gold. It was simply stunning!
If it were me though, I would stay with the RG theme. Your stack is a busy stack, but what ties it together nicely is the RG theme. To me, when I see the WG bangle, it breaks that theme. What I see now is a person who wants to wear all her bangles on the wrist. The single WG bracelet makes it a bit hodge podge looking because it's four RG bangles and one WG. If the ratio were different, it might work better. I hope that makes sense. It's my opinion of course, and in the end, it's what you love that matters.
Just my two cents... I vote yes, but in RG! Hope that helps in your decision.
ETA: By the way, my other two cents is I think you can wear the classic Clover in this stack. Your stack is bold, and the Classic Clover will really pop in this bold stack. So my vote here is unless you really love the Sweet Clover, maybe try the RG Classic Clover and see if you like that.
This is really good advice! I love the contrast of the WG, but I’m not sure if I will love it long-term or it’s just a phase. And I feel like the classic size might be too thick for my stack, so I was looking for something thinner. But I’m not entirely sure. I do think my stack needs some diamonds in it, and I’m kind of stuck on what to add. I didn’t love the RG because it kind of blended too much. Here is a terrible pic:Hi!

And here’s the single row for good measure:
Thoughts @BigAkoya?I like the single row with your stack! And yes, I think your stack needs some diamonds too. There is already a lot of metal in your stack, and I think the single row diamond bangle elevates your stack to more than just “a bunch of gold bangles” if that makes sense.
I also think the single row bangle is more lasting than than the thin perlee which you will most likely outgrow/get sick of. Plus, if you get the single row, down the line, you can always add the classic clover and wear that as a matching VCA set. That would look fabulous.
So… now that you are considering the single row, new vote. I vote single diamond row!
Wise words @BigAkoya! The single row has been on my wishlist for some time now, but I couldn’t justify the price since it’s just a “beaded diamond bangle”. I will admit I like the fact that the small clover is more recognizable as VCA. But that is not a good enough reason to justify purchasing such an expensive bangle with a small carat weight. I will take my time with this purchase, so I greatly appreciate the guidance. That’s also true that the single row will complement the regular clover beautifully in the future. All excellent food for thought. . .
By the way, try swapping the single row with the Love. The eye might move better to gaze your stack. When I look at that stack now, my eye jumps from the GMOP with pink iridescence to the Love with pink sapphire. It’s because the “pink” make my eyes bounce. My eye skips the single row, so now my brain is confused in where my eye should look next. Maybe if you swapped it, the eye would continuously move from the GMOP with the beautiful pink iridescence, transition to the Love with pink sapphires, pause in the center to look at creative nail, then the eye pops again to see the diamond bling and ends with intensity of the Clash. This might create a smoother flow.
Who knows… it might look like crap!… but just a thought.
Okay… with your comment on the iconic logo look, I totally get it. So… back to my earlier vote…
I really think the Classic Clover would look great with your stack. Nothing is perfect, everything is a give and take. So… instead of a thin “plain” diamond bangle that might look better because it’s thinner, I vote get the classic Cloverz. Even though it’s thicker, it screams VCA, it’s the iconic Holy Grail bangle.
Also, now you have the perfect iconic logo stack which is the look I think you’re trying to achieve.
A win-win! That’s my final vote!

I love this stack! Everything is so unique & pretty together. Personally I don’t mind mixing metals and after seeing everyone’s photos I think I’m really considering the WG instead of RG even though my normal stack is primarily RG. I have a WG Love to break up my stack but never fully loved the grayish color of Cartier WG and platinum pieces, I find it too masculine on my fair skin. I always loved how white and bright the VCA WG pieces look and I’m convinced after seeing the photos that I’ll likely end up with that one at some point. I have a pretty small wrist, I think the sweet Clover will fit nicely in a stack or paired with a diamond tennis bracelet for a more understated elegant look!
Back to your other photos, I do also think the RG sweet Clover doesn’t add much to your stack. If you wanted to keep within the same metal I also vote for the RG single diamond row. But if you don’t mind an extra pop of white I really do think the WG sweet Clover looks lovely with your current stack.
By the way how is the sizing compared to the Love? I saw that the sweet Clover is 15, 16, etc. just like the Loves, did they line up nicely for you? I have the Perlee Signature in XS but the fit isn’t an exact match with my 16 Loves. I’m considering the 15 for the sweet Clover but wasn’t sure if it would look too weird if it was smaller. They didn’t have the 15 Loves back when I started collecting, otherwise my small wrists would’ve gone with those. I’m too attached to start a whole new stack!

I am a thin/sweet clover Perlee fan too. I tried it on a couple weeks ago and it's on my wishlist as well. I think the wg looks nice with the rg as it breaks up the color similarity with your other rg bracelets. I do also agree some sparkle from diamonds might add a bit of a break up as well. The one row or a tennis bracelet would be nice. It's surprising how such a simple design (re: tennis or the one row) can add so much to a stack! Is this sweet clover the last piece you will think of adding? If your heart is set on the thin sweet clover in wg but you are kind of hesitant due to it being the only wg piece, would you perhaps consider adding a tennis bracelet as well? The price of the one row is a bit more compared to the sweet clover so for the difference you could also bring in a tennis in wg (in addition to the sweet clover) to incorporate a bit more sparkle/metal variety. Just a thought. I think rg and wg go well together, and while I prefer a stack in one color, I do appreciate the desire for a bit of difference and visual interest. I am the reverse to you: I have the wg clover and am looking to bring in the rg sweet clover bc I feel too much of one metal can get boring to the eye unless there is a LOT of diamonds involved. At the moment, it's two wg and one rg bracelets for me and so I'd like to bring in the sweet clover (or other) and the Perle D'or (in either wg or rg I haven’t decided yet). I included a pic for reference (I posted it elsewhere but I don't recall the thread). In the end sleep on it a bit and don't rush as these will be around as part of the permanent collection.Wow. . .

Omg this is such a gorgeous dream stack! Showcases the Clovers and diamonds beautifully. And just as I suspected the sweet Clover looks wonderful with a tennis bracelet! They have such an elegant look together but still can be worn daily with any outfit IMO. I love the visual difference of the RG color against the WG pieces here, I think the texture is perfectly balanced too, not overdone. It makes everything pop out that much more. If you’re still on the fence about the RG sweet Clover for this stack my vote is a wholehearted yes!!

Ohhh you are so sweet and it is nice to have confirmation as I thought it all flowed quite well together too! I hope you get your sweet Clover and that you determine which sizing works best for you. I'm sure it will be beautiful on you.That Classic Clover... it's the bomb! Some pieces scream artwork & craftsmanship (Lotus, Frivole), while other pieces scream logo (Magic). The Classic Clover to me is one of the few pieces that screams BOTH artwork & craftsmanship and iconic VCA. A must have piece!
I think a single diamond row would be beautiful with your Clover. By itself, I think the single row looks a bit wimpy, but together with the Clover, it's amazing. Together, it kind of blings out!
Plus, if you ever get sick of big stacking which I am sure it will happen as trends always come and go, but you still want a big punch, you can wear your Clover and single row together which is really gorgeous to me. A beautiful complementary set.
Love love love your Clover!
Has anyone told you that you give the best advice?
Actually I'm going to the boutique later in the month to explore a few options and see what I decide to plan on working towards. I agree: the single row always elevates a stack and I think in that design option wg might be a better choice for me. All these options, my head is spinning haha.
