Both are very beautiful, but what I've realized as time goes by is that the more ornate and fancy the jewelry is, the less wearable for everyday use. My DH often complains about how the pieces I choose look too basic, but he notices that I wear those "plain" looking pieces often as I wouldn't even think twice about putting them on. I think you could definitely get a lot of use with the first bangle. Hope this helps.

What is everyone's thoughts on this VCA bangle? Is it too plain?

The next one up is a bit too expensive so that is out of question.

Interesting that they price $6k and then jump to $20k and have nothing in between. I would think they would price things evenly like Cartier does with the different diamond quantities, etc.

The VCA Signature bangle is really amazing in person... and a great one to start with. The VCA Diamond Clover is the next one to get after the VCA Signature bangle. I prefer the yellow gold... it ages so much better.

Diamond Clover is really nice. I don’t have $24,000 to drop on jewelry though.

I do, but I would hate myself for doing it, and love the bracelet to much to return it. I have enough VCA to last me a lifetime... Plus, I am a man that is pretty rough with his jewelry and would hate to knock out a diamond and ruin the look of the piece. When it comes to luxury items, especially jewelry, I can be a bit obsessive compulsive with my purchases. Trying to learn how to pace myself, but loosing the battle every New Year resolution I make. LOL

I absolutely love my WG signature perlee. It’s so shiny and makes such a statement in an understated way. Most people would think it’s pretty but it’s not immediately recognizable which I like. It’s very bold to me, so I wear it by itself most of the time. It’s one of my favorite pieces. I used to love a love bracelet but between my life cuff and this? I choose the signature perlee every time.

I adore my vca signature perlee! The bonus is that you can take it off easily every night. I have a love i don’t wear anymore unfortunately for medical reasons. The vca isn’t too much lighter than the love but it’s still heavier than the h dancre bracelet which I was also considering at the time. I recall the vca one being 20-25 g of gold. The love I think is just over 30. I think the dancre was 16-19g. What I love about the perlee is hat the it protects the middle of the bangle so it stays shiny unlike the love. The perlee also makes the bangle sparkle and adds a little something to the stack. Here’s a few shots. First is at the boutique thinking about adding a white gold one. Second paired with my love. And last with my latest Tiffany t acquisition which I’m obsessed with! Hope this helps! The perlee pairs well with love but it can roll over it. IMG_2066.JPGIMG_2434.JPGIMG_4357.JPG

Hi, my name is Jimmie, I am a Luxury Jewelry Addict... I realized I had a problem when I ran out of fingers and wrist and neck space for places to wear my jewelry and strongly considered using my waist, knees and toes. I even searched the internet for finger and wrist addition implantation... that's when I realized I needed help. LOL
