VCA Perlee vs. Cartier Love?

Between these two choices, I prefer the VCA by far....
Not a fan of the pave Love bracelet....


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.

TGG, how come you aren't a fan? I love your taste so would be really interested in your thoughts :smile1:
 
Aww thank you!

So pretty. Thanks for posting! I love this bracelet too. Do you ever layer it with other bracelets? I wonder how it would look with a love bracelet stacked.
 
Thanks ladies! Beachy I don't layer it - I'm afraid of excessive scratching if I layer it with my love...though I would like to add another Perlee one day, if they would only stop raising prices...oy
 
Aww thank you!

I love this bracelet! It is one of my wish list items. I only wish I had purchased it before the last two increases.
 
Hello Kat,
Your bracelet is GORGEOUS. Oh my.....truly beautiful.:smile1:
As far as the Love bracelet goes...I do love the yg with diamonds..my favorite is the one with four diamonds..because the integrity of the screw design is maintained.
For some reason, the pave (and the colored stones) love is just not my favorite. This is just my opinion but I don't find them elegant at all. Recently I was at Cartier (picking up my ring) and I looked at the rose gold love..the yg looks a lot better with my skin tone..well, the pave and the colored stone bracelets were there. Call me crazy, but these are wildly expensive bracelets that look neither elegant nor expensive to me.
Again..love the plain love, and the love with diamonds...classics.
Your VCA is truly elegant with beautiful workmanship....I absolutely love it.
Aww thank you!

Thank you! And there's a whole slew of things I wish I had purchased before the last few increases...lol!

Thank you :heart: Your explanation about Cartier makes sense, I am interested in the love with half diamonds as well...now you have wanting to take another look at them!
 
Love your VCA Perlee - it looks just perfect on your wrist :heart:

I don't love the pave LOVE as much as the classic full gold versions or the single diamond versions - it's not to say they aren't gorgeous bracelets - but the plain gold Love or with the single diamonds rather than the pave really sing to me, kwim? :D
 
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..
Congrats! I saw your pic on your blog. It looks super nice on you. If you compare two pictures, there's no hole on Cartier bangle, very hard to clean diamonds...
 
kat99, you look great with the VCA bracelet :tup:


Aww thank you!

Excellent choice !! Your Van Cleef Perlee is so elegant and pretty. Though I'm a big fan on Love, but between the 2, I will go for VCA too :D I love Cartier cos it's something I can wear everyday :)
