Absolutely. The 10 motif is such a versatile piece. I used to think they were a little standard-issue, but now I think they are really flattering visually and so easy to wear.

Help! TE or carnelian 5 motif?
I can’t make up my mind. I have a TE vintage Alhambra pendant necklace already, but no strong need or aversion to matching.
I love the TE, but this carnelian is a really beautiful deep red hue and hard to say no to.

I am usually partial to TE, but that carnelian is really stunning on you. I say the carnelian bracelet!
That’s a beautiful shade of carnelian — the exact shade I’d want for myself. On the plus side, even though they’re not the same stones, you can also wear carnelian bracelet with your TE pendant.
Are you planning to stack the sweet or wear alone. I have a sweet and love it as part of a stack. The butterflies are stunning on you. since you have several rings I would get the bracelet.
Thank you @hers4eva ! Yes she is a beauty and will look stunning on you when you get her! ❤️Oh my gosh
Get the Perlee sweet clover …. I have tried the yellow gold on twice .. she is the one for my wrist, so she is now number one on my wish list
Excited for you!
Thank you for the advice @missie1 ! Plan to wear it ultimately with a small stack. On my list are the matching RG Signature Perlee (as pictured) and the RG JUC small with diamonds, as I think they will both match quite nicely. The ring is dainty and pretty, so it’s hard to say no to that too! But agree that it would be good to mix things up with a bracelet next vs another ring. Btw fingers crossed on your SOs! And the GMOP will look amazing, I tried it on the other day and it’s really mesmerizing to look at.
I definitely would get the sweet then as I love the combo you’re planning. The signature and sweet look really compliment one another well. Im glad I decided gmop as it’s my favorite stone. Such a chameleon stone that reflects off surrounding pieces.
Perlee pave bracelet, I have it and absolutely love it!
That is exactly what I’m struggling with. I love love TE; but that carnelian color! Also kind of like the idea of a coordinated but not matching set.
I usually go for neutrals, so I don’t have to think about color coordination - but honestly seems like that carnelian matches basically anything (I was wearing green!)
I’m also still wanting onyx sweets. Admittedly not as pretty as the frivoles, but I kind like the funkiness of black earrings.
I love TE but seeing the carnelian on you makes me prefer the carnelian. It looks great on you
I tried to read every post on here about sizing before sending my bracelet in to be shortened. I just got it back so I figured I’d share my experience. When I called to send it in they asked what size I wanted it to be. I asked them about links, because I wasn’t sure if I needed 6 or 8 links removed, but also mentioned I like my bracelets to be exactly 16cm if possible. She said that was no problem, so on the service order they put “please make 16cm from end to to end” or something similar to that. I was curious how many links that would end up being. I just received it, and 16cm is equivalent to 6 links (12 hoops) being removed. I hope that’s helpful to anyone that is looking for that size.
Thank you. My other bracelets that fit me perfect are 16cm. I have a bracelet that’s 16.5cm and I never wear it bc even that small difference makes a big difference. I like my bracelets snug (but not tight) so they don’t move a ton.
