The bracelet here is made with a pair of vintage cosmos earrings, which I worked with a local jeweller to design…. Unfortunately as I am obsessed with stacking, this piece does not incorporate well with my collection so thinking of redesigning into something more wearable for me!

You’re always so creative in reworking existing pieces in other ways!! I love it but I see what you mean about the stacking situation here. I wonder if you would be able to design it to “nest” against another bangle so they would stack nicely and evenly together.

I really adore the organic nature of this stack; I love your taste!
 
love Pucci, and I like the late 60s/early 70s sleeker groovy "space age" side of Pucci. I love the Pucci spring collection this season, so you may want to check it out. I hope to channel 21st century groovy like this
I adore vintage deadstock pucci! I had this piece recut and pieced to fit me (I was larger than the size but the skirt was originally ankle length. Two tailors who were also pattern cutters pieced it together so the tuxedo band and side strip and flowers all met up :smile: apologies for the OT; I just got excited at the mention of vintage pucci

Jewelry whisperer is definitely your new name. You make it all come together with your great logic and advice. I only buy classic diamond pieces so I can start to incorporate more bling into my casual outfits. I love the cross with the necklace as well. Wore it this summer and really liked it.

I love all your classic diamond pieces, Missie! They work so well with VCA, too!

You closet reveals never cease to amaze me. You have so much cool stuff. Pattern is so cool
 
So creative! I like #1 and #3. For #3, maybe remove the dainty emerald station necklace, add a 5 motif oynx so it's a bit longer. That means your neck will be clean to highlight the collar bone and throat, and you'll have long necklaces around your torso. See if you like the clean neck look with long necklaces. The eye has less length to wander.

I think you need a malachite 20 to layer with your oynx and rock crystal 20! :biggrin: :heart:
You are right! My emerald and diamond station necklace is just my 24/7 necklace currently since I can sleep and shower in it, but it does ruin the visual line in #3 with the longer loop. The RC is actually 3x5s unfortunately, but if anyone has a SA offering an unwanted RC 20 I’m all ears, as always. I would love a malachite 20, but it’s such a delicate stone, I’m honestly scared to touch my magic bracelet because I know I cannot get another one, and I am not the type to baby my things typically.

The Cosmos is lovely. Since you may redesign it and you like to stack, I would make it an open bangle with the opening at the top, one flower on each side. That would be beautiful and you could also stack it as they line up.
Think of the Perlee Coleurs open bangle except with a Cosmos flower on each side.
That would be my kind of bangle!
You have a gorgeous collection!
Thank you for the idea, can definitely see it working! I have actually tried on the Perlee Coleurs open bangle in malachite and was quite intrigued by it. It‘s going to be fun fiiguring it out!

Thank you so much! And yes having the bracelet able to nest with other peices is definitely the challenge, one I am going to enjoy solving.
