Does anyone here have the perlee clover bracelet in yellow gold and the bvlgari serpenti pave bracelet in pink gold? I’d love to see action shots of how they look together or if it’s completely mismatched.
It’s easier to find the pink gold serpenti pave in stock and I am due to receive my yellow gold clover any day now.
I’d really appreciate the advice. (Also I am getting a better deal (price) on the pink gold serpenti pave (almost like new from a trusted friend) versus buying the yellow gold direct from the boutique .)

Congratulations on the Perlee clover. Have you considered the wg pave serpentine instead? I only ask because it might look mismatched in the wrong way with these two pieces unless maybe your adding in wg piece to have all three metals

I dont have a yellow Clover (I have WG) nor a RG Serpenti but I have tried both bracelets in all three metals. Bvlgari yellow is very yellow and I find their RG visually distinguishable from their yellow (unlike in some brands where the difference is subtle). If you dont mind mixing YG and RG then I think it would be ok, however, I do think there will be a visual difference between VCA YG and Bvlgari's RG.

Both individually beautiful, but I would not wear the yg and rg together.

Anyone who has the guilloche vintage Alhambra pendant/necklace, I’d like some advice. I hardly ever take off my sturdy jewellery pieces, but keep my MOP very safe. How careful should I be with the guilloche? Can I wear it everyday without taking off for shower or sleeping or is it very delicate?

If you’re wearing the pendant alone without layering it should be totally fine! It’s solid gold so no need to worry about showering with it either. It’s not delicate at all and quite a heavy substantial piece. The pattern also hides fine scratches very well IMO, but if you never layer necklaces together I don’t think that will ever be an issue unless you continuously subject the necklace to rub against zippers from your clothes, which I never do.

Thank you! I’d layer it with my single diamond pendant, it’s very small so I don’t think it would be a problem at all

I would . I do all the time. I only pair YG and RG together, almost never pair either with WG.

Ha! We are totally opposite then! If I were to pair anything, I like white metals and pink gold together. The one combo I really dislike is yg and rg together (meaning next to each other)!

You and me both! YG and RG together drives me crazy

Me three. I definitely don’t like wg and yg paired together. It could be because I’m not a fan of yg

 

[wisconsin]

I pair everything together but I don’t have much of rose gold.No rules for me.

Same I mix and match like crazy. I wear all 3 golds daily.
If you pay attention to others on the street you might find many mix and match and it just works.

 

[cmadtmifyb0623]

I also wear my Cartier Love bracelets in YG and PG daily and love mixing all metals. It gives for a messy stack look which I love when I add in other golds.

Unfortunately* I think I agree with you. I don't like YG and RG together unless they are nearly indistinguishable.

I say "unfortunately", because for me personally that means I am going to spend more, to make sure my metals and stacks are cohesive. Damn. I hope I can cure myself of this....
