I am not a bracelet person so I don't often see bracelets that tempt me, but for some reason I just loved this one. :heart:

I did end up purchasing it and am very happy I did. I love its simple elegance. I don't wear it a lot - because I don't wear bracelets a lot. Typically I just wear a watch as jewelry.

I think you'd like it!:graucho:

I hardly wear bracelets either but somehow this one feels different
Very enticing .....
Might have to make an exception for this bracelet
Feels timeless and the fit and weight was just right

So it’s funny I see these earrings in sort of the opposite way:
The Flowerlace earrings feel casual for my lifestyle right now- they wouldn’t be appropriate (IMO) with a business suit - fabulous as they are, to me they read: whimsical and summery -
Can see them worn with soft blue denim cropped pants and a crisp white shirt,
or with white pencil jeans, blue and white striped t shirt- or worn with summer dresses - solid cotton swing skirt or floral in flowing silk.
To me they don’t feel serious or evening at all, but instead charming -
Maybe worn in summer evening at a garden party or wedding or a. summer ball with a lightweight gown?
The Flowelace are (for me) something to look forward to when I retire and the sun is always shining and my life and wardrobe are both more relaxed -
Isn’t it wonderful how we are all can have different impressions of the same jewelry?
That’s what makes this forum fun [emoji274]

TT, you just took me to some magical place that I may only read about in Novels and this song by Paul Hardcastle expresses your sentiments perfectly :tup:

Not a lot of love for it here but I tried it on recently and really really liked it.
Wondered if you purchased one and how do you like it ?View attachment 3979362View attachment 3979363View attachment 3979364[/QUOTE]

I love this design. I purchased the rings before the bangle came out- I wear two rings stacked together because I love the stacked beads of gold. Exactly like how the bangle is (in fact what I had in mind was a ring just like this new bangle). I think I will have to try this bangle too.

In looking at your pieces I feel we share similar tastes [emoji1362]

Wonderful discussion here
But also wondered what did you decide on the new perle bangle

This bracelet definitely grown on me.
Initially I felt that the matte finish (vs shiny) was inconsistent with the rest of the perlee collection.
It’s not a stacking bracelet but works best alone and has a 70’s vibe.
That said, when I tried the bracelet on I liked it very much!
It’s very pretty in a sophisticated, understated way.

Agree! I tried them on a few years ago. Would go so beautifully with so many outfits. I was stunned by the price point. That's the only reason they seem "special occasion."
