I am slightly biased as I have the Perlee w dia clovers, I would say to consider the ease of taking off the Perlee compared to the Love - are you wanting to wear this piece every day?

I would of thought the Cartier dia is similar in price to the new VCA full pave dia bracelet also (but maybe you don't like this version?) it is more expensive than the dia clover Perlee but from memory I thought the Cartier here and the full pave Perlee were v similar price wise?

Kat, I think the Cartier bracelet is modern while the VCA is dainty, very pretty. Both special! (yes I'm no help sorry!)
But which one looks better on YOUR wrist?
You could have two equally beautiful bracelets but the FIT can often be the one that sways you to decide on the piece.

This is true - the issue with the VCA bracelet is that it's hand formed I was told - and I did look at two bracelets, both exactly the same numerical size but one was definitely smaller. I would have to look for one that fits me perfectly as I'm in a bit of a Goldilocks situation...ahh.

I LOVE the full pave Perlee but think it is a bit more...and if I were to get a full pave I would probably just go with the Cartier, I have a pave trinity ring and it has lasted me forever with countless times I've hit it, etc...I am a die hard Cartier pave fan.


Thanks everybody...I will update when I figure it out.

I have been thinking about this myself. It comes down to VCA more feminine, Cartier more Modern and industrial looking.
In this case, I would get the VCA , it is really stunning and sooo pretty.

I'm looking at these two bracelets - the Cartier pave love vs. the Van Cleef Perlee...which do you prefer? Price point wise they are fairly near each other.


Some notes:

- The Perlee is easier to take off (you can do it yourself)
- Perlee has limited sizing however - it may not fit your wrist as "perfectly" as the Cartier love which has many more sizes.

Sorry, I hope I am not too late for this thread. If you look at VCA design you will appreciate more in the future. Each design piece looks like a piece of art. The watches are very unique too. Such as Cadenas diamonds, lady arpels feerie, and ludo pampilles with diamonds in yellow gold are great to collect. They are on top of brand in jewelry/jewelry watch. Cartier is famous for everyday watch. VCA has a great A+ quality in workmanship for jewelry/watch. To me workmanship is also an important key factor. If you compare the workmanship, Cartier pave love diamond bangle is not that difficult to finish. VCA Perlee diamond bangle needs more of professional skill to finish. Also check the diamonds setting, Cartier pave love diamonds bangle will have impossible to clean and diamonds are too small. VCA Perlee has a chance to clean from the back, it will always look shiny and diamonds are bigger. Small diamonds are cheaper than the bigger one. So go for VCA. Good luck to you.

Thank you! This thread was from a while ago and I did end up going with the VCA - your post definitely makes me feel better about it! I do love the Cartier pave bangle though...it didn't seem that difficult to clean? But maybe I am wrong..
