I’m having sizing drama! I recently had both my 5 motifs shortened to 17cm (4 double links removed). However I feel like they are moving around too much - particularly when I put my arm down they go across my palm. I’m worried if I take 2 more double hoops (16cm) they could be too small? Any thoughts? Could the boutique just remove 1 more double link (so 5 double links in total) instead of 6? I wasn’t sure if that was an option. Anyways, would love any thoughts on whether you think more links removed would make these too small. Thanks!!

My bracelets are sized a bit bigger than yours (only two links [each 2 hoops] removed) but because of my wrist size they fit just like yours. I consider mine a pretty tight fit and would not size mine any smaller. I wear both of mine 24/7 on my left wrist and the fit doesn’t cause me any problems.

I sized down to 17 and it looked like what’s happening on your wrist. I then sized it down to 16 and love it so much more shorter. Still easy to put on, doesn’t flip and sits nicer on my wrist.

Thank you, I think that’s what I need to do!

I think this is perfect size on you! I have both my bracelets sized at 17 and waiting for my third to come back from being sized at the boutique. If you go down to size 16 the motifs will be uneven in between. It drove me nuts so something to consider.. the bracelets look gorgeous on you!

Has anyone ordered a regular perlee ring (small or medium size) recently? I put in a deposit for both sizes the day before the price increase and was wondering around how long it took to get yours in.

Is there any chance in any universe they would make pietersite available to us non-vip muggles ? It’s my absolute dream bracelet 😭

Hi @spidermann,

+1! The Pietersite bracelet is so beautiful I fell in love with it when my SA showed me. However, I was told by my SA that I had to get it as a set (together with the necklace) and they were not able to sell the bracelet alone.

I don’t think it would be possible for me to afford that 😭 I wish they would make a regular line out of it. Sigh. Did you end up purchasing it !?

Nope, I passed on it because the price point was 😭!! It was €29,250 for both the 10 motif necklace and 5 motif Alhambra bracelet in Pietersite. 🥲

Same. I just want the bracelet. I’ll probably keep my eye out on fashionphile, and maybe one will pop up eventually.

whoever is reselling it will probably ask for 15k or something along those lines for it

Probably. Maybe we’ll get lucky and they’ll eventually come out with more WG pieces.

Didn’t buy, just tried, but love this set.
Bought something else, but isn’t this dreamy?

Yes it is a beautiful set 😍. Tried myself the lapis watch... But curious to know what got your interest then (if I may ask ?)

TT, that is the PERFECT summer watch. I absolutely love it, I am thinking about asking for it at my boutique. I am not a watch lady, I wear an Apple watch all mixed in with my VCA because of the functionality. BUT this pic, got my eye. Was this in a US boutique?
The turquoise face really pops against the white- so refreshing. Just delightful, thank you for sharing this.
