Hi Ladies!

I’m looking to add another VCA bracelet to my daily stack! :smile:

I currently wear a small YG Cartier love, small JUC with diamonds, small tennis bracelet, and MOP sweet Alhambra on a daily basis. I wear a Cartier tank on my other hand and vintage MOP Alhambra necklace/Tiffany DBTY on my neck daily too!

I’m torn between getting a vintage Alhambra bracelet (either onyx, white, or gold) or another sweet Alhambra to match my current one.

I like the look of the sweets stacked together as it’s more understated (hoping to wear daily at my office job). My wrist is a bit small and I’m worried that the vintage may look overwhelming when stacked with the other bracelets — which are all in “smaller sizes”. But also I love the look of the vintage bracelet on its own!

What do you think would look best with my current stack? Does anyone here stack vintage with sweet? If I get another sweet, should I get the carnelian heart, MOP butterfly, or onyx Alhambra? I’d lean towards the butterfly or heart.

I say go big! I voted for vintage 5 motif gold and that seems to be the majority opinion so far. A couple of my friends have the guilloche and I think it’s beautiful.

I actually take off all of my jewelry when I have to go into the office or attend meetings, but if you’re already rocking your beautiful stack at work, I don’t think adding a vintage bracelet will be too much! Happy shopping!

Thanks! I was leaning towards that one :)

And now that I think of it, it definitely does not have to be a wear everyday piece.

Vote for carnelian heart for a pop of color.
 
Your stack is excellent as is. Just get whatever bracelet you like best separately; maybe a 5 motif if you prefer that to the 6. At some point you might want a different look (just one bracelet on its own or two bracelets).

I like the idea of any of the vintage 5 motifs, but I would wear that instead of the sweet mop bracelet. That way you have some variety rather than wearing the same thing everyday. I like the 4 you wear now and would not add a 5th. I'd just get a couple of new options to be the 4th piece.
I definitely agree with this opinion! I love to mix and match and change things up.

Hi, just came across this post, beautiful stack! On the side note, may I asked how are you finding the tennis bracelet with juc n love? I recently got juc n stack all three but I find my tennis having a mind on its own hahaha it goes under love or juc, my juc is 16 n love is 17 which same size as my tennis bracelet. My juc is small n sometimes I find my tennis bracelet caught up with juc which scared me that it might pull my juc. So was wondering how you deal with yours? Thanks

I will vote for 5 motif non gold, seem your stack has lots of gold already so sth like white mop or onyx would pop, plus it can easily be switched around wi the your other bracelet and can be worn alone
