So I’ve just started thinking about getting a white gold bracelet for my stack - I currently wear a RG JUC and a RG rainbow love (or sometimes I switch it out for a RG love cuff). I was looking at these two but I’ve never tried either live - does anyone have either of these and have any thoughts on them? What do you love/hate about them? How are they in a stack? This would be for daily wear - I don’t always remember to take off my jewelry for bed!

I prefer the spike bracelet. The Anita Ko bracelet is more three dimensional. I like the polished facets. I also like the sparkly bits. I’m not loving the hinges between the links, but that’s a small thing. The closure could also be a bit more discrete. But I guess that’s also a smaller thing.

The Cartier bracelet is very generic looking. I personally don’t love it from a design standpoint. I guess it’s plain and geometric, which makes it wearable. But the pattern isn’t very interesting to me. It looks like a lot of watch strap links. Actually, I would just get a watch from the line, because that would be a bit more distinctive. At least, the closure is a bit more integrated, which is nice.

I think the spike bracelet stands better on its own but would also present better in a stack, since it’s more textural. I also think it’s nice to not just have a mono-brand stack of bracelets on one hand. Adds some variety.

I admit her behavior here gave me pause also but I do really like the design…I was hoping to find it secondhand so she wouldn’t be making my money directly 🤔. I’m really wanting to try them both on because I do love the texture of the spikes, but it’s hard to beat Cartier, and the Maillon looks so smooth and silky! I’m not in any rush so will try to see if I can find them to try on somewhere…

The funny thing is years and years ago I had seen the Maillon at the boutique and really loved it, as well as the Lanieres. There was no way at the time I could afford them at the time! I’ve never forgotten either, and got the lanieres preloved a couple of years ago and wear it all the time. I only just rediscovered the Maillon in WG and fell in love with it again so maybe that’s what being a “classic” is all about?

The chimento is a lot less than the Ko so maybe I can get both?? 🤔

I appreciate the enablement everyone!!! 🤣🤣👍👍👍
