Sweet Clover

[missie1]

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.

Okay everyone, I went back and tried it on again without the JUC. I think it looks so perfect now and a little less cluttered! I’m just not sure about the size. I think this is the small, but it’s a little larger than my 16 Love. Will the smaller size fit better? Or will it be too small? All opinions welcome!


Honestly I’m in love!

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.

Thank you for this! It helped me decide to go back and try it again without the JUC to see if it looked different!

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 do love the Classic, but I don’t love it with my current stack. So I feel like the thin one gives me a similar look but doesn’t overpower my stack and take up too much room.

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!

Thank you for your compliments! I’m really trying to build a stack that I adore but is also cohesive! I love RG but am leaning towards the WG because I love the icy contrast it provides to my stack. It will also match my two-toned Rolex that I wear daily. I’m not sure about the sizing. The small seems a little bigger than my 16 Love, but they didn’t have the extra-small to try on. So I’m not entirely sure.

Thank you for your words of wisdom! I may add another bracelet in WG, but it will have to be very thin and tiny. I do love the WG and am pretty sure my next bracelet will be in that metal. Funny enough, I was in the process of custom ordering a tennis bracelet right now. I might hold off and get the sweet bangle instead. Your stack is lovely!

I am so loving the all Rose gold stack

Thank you! I love RG! Your stack is also pretty!

This looks amazing.

Aww thank you! I needed to see it in person and definitely styled a certain way otherwise, like many others, it didn't do much for me. In the end we shall see; I am taking my time with this one but I will be honest to say I do like it.

Yes to this. I think it looks good here. I have say I think I like it minus the JUC but as for the wg I think this looks good! The wg is so beautiful.

Thank you. I am also getting the RG sweet for my stack. It’s perfect stacking piece

I like it so much better without the JUC which I think the JUC theme does not fit.
I personally think JUC and Clash are super casual in the sense they are just metal bracelets, and I think they take away from the beauty of the 5 motif and Clover. They are competing themes. For me, I would prefer to create different stacks and switch it up vs. piling on all the bracelets and wearing the same stack all the time.

Since you are open to creating a new stack... my two cents if I may...
I would wear your 5 motif GMOP, the WG Classic Clover, and the Love. That would make an great statement, and the alternating gold now works. The thin Perlee will not look the same as there is too much metal, and the thin Perlee looks just like a thin gold bangle with milgrain edges. The Clover is a diamond bangle for sure, you cannot miss it. Plus, you like a bold wrist, and it looks good on you. I do not think the Classic is too thick at all.

So, if you remove those two (JUC, Clash), I think your Love with the pink sapphires looks great and ties in the GMOP with it's pink iridescence. Throw in a bold Clover with big diamonds in the center, and wow! Drool worthy nice bling, not just a big stack, because anyone can throw on all their bracelets and make a big stack. You have a lot of nice pieces, so I'd highlight them more and let them shine.

I also think this new stack of three (5 motif, Classic Clover, Love) will carry you further as you move through life. Hence, I would get the Classic Clover... it is more lasting, commands more of a presence, has more bling, is iconic VCA, and can stand on its own.

That's just my opinion, and I know it's all preference and all VCA is beautiful.
I hope this helps with your decision.

heres my new sweet clovers ring, got the d'or ring to stack with it! i really want to get the sweet clovers bracelet too but kind of torn between that and the og clover bracelet

Congrats on the ring!
My view on thin vs OG clover: if budget allows, go for OG first. It really is classic. You would likely still want it after getting the thin and have to spend the money down the line anyway . If it turns out you still want the thin after getting OG, your further spend would at least be less if that makes sense =P

I completely agree with @chiaoapple. I have the original and am still really interested in the thin version (and quite liked it when I tried it on) and would like to add it to a stack. If you like both and have the funds then get the original as prices always increase; so sooner the purchase, the better. However, if you like both but prefer the thickness aesthetically on your wrist of the thinner one (some ladies have found a preference for thinner bangles vs thicker ones and vice versa) then grab the thin one. This really should be your decision, and like I always say: go with your gut as you typically will doubt that choice a lot less (if at all) than going with what is "expected/practical/etc." If you deep down want the original and you need to wait a bit to get the original (either for funds or due to availability/stock levels) , then it will be worth it. Likewise, if your gut/heart tells you that you love the thin one, get that one (it would be a perfect match with your ring too). Sometimes asking too many opinions get us all confused - there are a million opinions out there but in the end you will know what works for you best. Good luck. There is certainly no wrong answer because they are both lovely.

This community is so supportive and amazing, thank you all for your input!

@glamourbag I especially needed to hear this, so thank you.☺️ I do feel that most people love the original and it’s beautiful, but I feel that personally for me I love the sort of simplistic elegance and not overly glam look (especially for daily wear)

@lisawhit I love how you’ve paired yours with the d’or bracelet. Your pictures have been incredibly helpful because this is exactly how I’d love to wear it, and it’s been hard finding pics of these together! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful pieces here! ❤️

Oh I am glad to hear this. People are always quick to say you need the "biggest" and "most expensive" but that often comes from the people who won't part with their own coin. Don't let them get you twisted - keep liking what you like. This is no "lesser than" item. It's a different design in a series or collection (the Perlee line). Simple as that. And like anything, people have preferences but don't let anyone discourage you. Personally, I know a few ladies who prefer this one to the original for themselves because they find it more flattering to their frame. The right item is the one that makes you happy. Trust me: which ever of the two you choose, you will still be miles above most people. I hope it finds its way on to your (and my ) wrist soon! xx
