I tried on some YG VA bracelets including guilloché, blue agate and malachite but was underwhelmed, can’t tell why maybe my skin tone. I’m Asian with yellow undertone, on other Asian fellows I find malachite beautiful but on me it seems off. What do you think?
Maybe I’ll end up getting onyx to match with my pendant.

I came across this photo of what it seems like a thinner version of Perlee Clovers bangle and a thinner ring?
Are these new release to come soon? Or have they always been around but I just have never seen until now?? This photo is from VCA site. It was one of many photos under signature bangle page. If these are the new release, I am so excited!
how exciting, do you have a link to this i can’t find it?
 
i see, i found the photos of the other two golds

something feels off about it imo, it almost feels forced(?) like they were trying too hard to find a “thin love” alternative for vca. if i saw it irl i probably would think it’s a poorly done perlee clover fake:confused1:. but it could look a lot better irl. hope we get more info on it

I think the specific shades of agate and malachite don’t pop very much? Maybe you could go with a brighter green for the malachite and either a brighter or darker agate? But the onyx would certainly pop a lot

You’re right I tried to put an Onyx necklace around my wrist to see and it did pop a lot so I think I’ll get onyx, it goes well with my outfits too as I usually wear black, grey and neutrals.

Yeah I guess like they are trying to make the designs more accessible for broader audience, but it looks a bit off. However I feel the same about the thin JUC and Love.

I’m probably going to be getting an onyx one too soon! I think the black is very youthful looking. Going to try on a 5 motif guilloche when it’s back in stock and then make my decision haha

Can you please send the link to the WG version? I cannot find it on the US website. Thanks.

I don't like this thin design - there is no gap between the motifs and beads on the bracelet and that looks quite odd to me. Hopefully it looks better IRL.

They all look nice but I think blue agate is very pretty with your skin tone ....I would definitely go for that if I were you. Let us know what you decide
