WooHoo! Picked up my five motif Guilloche bracelet today, promptly sent out for resizing.

While shopping, stoped by Bulgari to try on the serpenti bracelets (the frivole and MOP are mine). This bracelet has been on my wish list for two years! Just haven’t taken the plunge and also can’t decide on white or yellow gold.View attachment 5334846View attachment 5334847

Beautiful pieces! As far as the serpenti I think you can pull of either color metal. If you are planning on stacking with your current VCA pieces, I do think I like the yellow for a more cohesive look.

Sunny but chilly weather today, my WG stack softly gleaming in the shade.

By the way, I noticed your tennis bracelet is a three prong, if I am seeing it correctly. It looks great. Sometimes, three prong settings can make a diamond look like a triangle, and four prong settings can make a diamond look like a square.

Your setting is beautiful. It makes the diamonds very distinct and very round... the eye focuses only on the diamonds! Gorgeous!

You have such sharp eyes and are totally correct! I am extremely picky when it comes to settings since I want the diamonds to look their shape and it took me a while to find the one I liked. When the prongs are too big or showing too much metal on a 3 prong it does look triangle-ish and most 4 prongs also tend to look boxy like you said. I’ve seen some “pinched” 4 prongs before where the prongs sit closer together in between diamonds but it’s not as common, I do prefer that pinched look if going with a 4 prong since it looks more roundish. I know some ladies love the straight line look but it’s just not my personal taste. I wanted the prongs to be as delicate as possible to let the diamonds take their shape. Thank you for your kind compliments, I get so happy when I get to geek out and appreciate the smaller details in jewelry like this :biggrin: :heart:
