I know you love both and both are very beautiful.
But IMHO, the bracelet detracts from the watch and vice-versa. The eye travels back and forth without settling on either piece. As a result, they compete for attention. While each are glorious, they deserve to be worn separately.
That's my impression. Please feel free to disagree.
Thank you❤️
I do love the combo, but I would be worried about the 5 motif slipping under the watch and causing scratching of one or both… so I probably won’t wear them together too often other than on both arms.
Very elegant and effortless.
If you keep whipping out your butterfly ring, you're going to make me cave and get one!
The ring looks gorgeous on you!
This is honestly one of the prettiest mod shots i’ve seen on this forum! Beautiful ring.
i love this ring on you
So beautiful and the ring is just fabulous!
Putting the focus on my beloved butterfly ring
Not everyone can pull off the butterfly ring but on you, it looks absolutely perfect!
Thank you so much @rosebean
Hehe Akoya I was hoping to change your mind and bring you to the dark side with me
… honestly though this butterfly ring has become one of my favorite go-to pieces to wear along with the Frivole pave earrings, which btw I have to thank you for giving me a gently nudge to reconsider it
You made my day @kelsenia
… I love being able to share my love for VCA with like minded VCA lovers here!@missie1 one of the best ring purchases I ever made because I reach out for it so much! Thank you so much
Thank you so much @lvchanellvr This ring is so feminine and whimsical. Absolutely love wearing it
Thank you so much @hja
I love how vertsaile this ring is. Can be dressed up with a dress or dressed down with a pair of jeans and shorts.
Playing around with different metals... RG, YG, WG, and Plat
One of these will be my first vca bracelet.. I just had to leave the store because really I couldn’t decide.. which one do you guys prefer? Thanks for your help in advance 
They’re both stunning! Malachite is very delicate and will require more care and attention compared to carnelian. You can always replace motifs, but when malachite repeatedly touches water/sweat/lotions etc it will dull significantly (look at the malachite thread on here for more info).
You should also consider if one color or the other complements your wardrobe… but I vote carnelian because of ease.
Did you get to try on the other colors too (even just for fun!!!)? Tigers eye, onyx, blue agate and chalcedony (but the last is only in white gold) also all have similar durability to carnelian.
I wear my onyx everyday in a stack. I shower with it, and it doesn’t look as good as my bracelets that I don’t wear as frequently but it still looks very pretty, and you can’t tell any difference between those that i don’t wear as frequently and the onyx one after it’s been cleaned. It’s too hard for me personally to remove bracelets and put them on by myself multiple times a day, so that’s why i don’t take them off.
Sorry this may have been too much of a rant
Good luck with your decision!!!
