Wow, that is some trio of bracelets! I love this look on you since I am a big fan of VCA in white gold!
Thank you for the inspiration.
Love this, I will have these exact combinations when my 20motif onyx WG comes in.
Suzie,
That will be so beautiful! Do you have the 20 WG Vintage Alhambra Pave? Ahhhh..... my dream 20 motif!
This was shortened to perfection! For those of us with really tiny wrists, we need all the help shortening the bracelets to the best extent possible. Whenever I try on the vintage bracelets it honestly feels like they can ride all the way to my elbow because of how tiny my wrists are. Glad to see one that has been shortened to perfection. Will definitely do the same to my YG Onyx 5 motif bracelet when I get it .....once I get out of ban island of course
Yes it makes a huge difference. I can do anything with it on and it will not get damaged. I can even wash dishes and do chores, work at my desk all day and it doesn’t get banged around because it barely moves. I like it short and as tight as possible. I don’t think many people would though.
This is how I am with my bracelets! I like them as short as possible!
I am so conflicted with my VCA bracelet lengths. I love the look of a loose bracelet, and I like the way it moves. But practically speaking, I like the way snug bracelets feel and less risk of damage. I am considering shortening a few of mine even further, but can't seem to make up my mind!
Just lovely and practical -- you've inspired me to get my bracelet shortened but will have to find a patient person to help me put it on...

Oh no, I wish. I have a vintage white gold 10 motif.
Here is a pic attached to my MOP.

I would honestly shorten them because wearing them loosely only looks beautiful in photos to me. In reality, I find that wearing them closer to the body is more practical and fulfilling. By sizing my bracelets properly (not VCA btw), I actually don’t feel the need to take my bracelets off for anything.
Have you ever tried the different lengths on? In my boutique they have the kit that has the sample sizes (not using real motifs). I think they had 3 or 4 different lengths available. This way you can get a feel of what it will look and feel like before it's adjusted.
Hi Dessert1st, yes I did try them on. I kept them on the looser side but three are times I just wish they were tighter. I just twist one alhambra around to shorten the chain and voila, it's more fitting for when I need it, and loose when I prefer it that way
) But there are times I am tempted to get it resized once and for all.So beautiful! I love them together. What a great combination. Thanks for sharing.
