I felt exactly the same so I resisted it for the longest time. Eventually I caved in and bought the RG version, I have worn it so much that it's become an every day piece for me. It goes with everything and I can't recommend it enough. No regrets in getting it and I am going to get a WG version too [emoji16]

I felt the exact same way!!
Once I purchased this piece, however, I've had absolutely no regrets.
In fact, I feel that my signature perlee bracelet looks lost without it (and I don't typically stack bracelets).

OMG, you are brilliant!!

Thank you but I must credit MYH for this idea.

Hmm, I really like the perles d'or, but can't get past the price for a thin little beaded bangle. Love how the closure is virtually invisible.

I felt the same way for the longest time UNTIL I got this beauty and it was ❤️. Not sure why, but those gold 'pearls' are exquisite.

The perlee hoops are great earrings...the only hoops I ever wear. Not too large nor too small.
I love all sizes of the frivole earrings ....which is getting me into trouble. While I agree that the small is similar to the vintage Alhambra in size I actually like that the large are larger when paired with the vintage Alhambra collection.
Several years when I purchased the frivole multi station necklace I felt that the larger yg pair looked best when paired with the necklace.
I can easily make an argument for either size...
They are all so pretty and flattering!

Beautiful as the Perlee hoops, large and small, are, when my earlobe holes were punched the left one wasn't punched straight from from to back, but at an outward angle. So, the larger the hoop, the more "twisted" outwardly it looks. It looks strange on me when the hoops are not hanging straight and symmetrically - it makes me feel like I've dressed up as a fortune teller, only lacking the crystal ball!

Have read up on the last 150 pages just now - so much beauty and expertise! Haven't seen any posts on the elusive turqoise - has anyone heard something about the rumoured new source? The turqoise Alhambra bracelets disappered from the UK page months ago. I find it strange they still offer Sweets and the Butterfly bracelet in turqoise when they simultaneously rested the turqoise for the 5-piece bracelets.

Hmmm
Have you tried switching them to opposite ears?

Good advice but sadly all hoops do the same - ideally I should have had a new, straight hole punched in that ear, but I stick to smaller earrings instead, i e not rings but ones shaped like studs - always a safe bet

I picked up my BTF ring yesterday. Very happy with the size and colour of pink sapphire. The sparkle is amazing and looks even better IRL, I'm not great at taking photos. Thanks for letting me share, glad I went with the pink in the end [emoji16]View attachment 3677256View attachment 3677257

Natalie, your BTF ring is gorgeous and looks beautiful on you!

Hi all! Has anyone got the short magic alhambra mop necklace in wg? Need some inspiration. Not sure if I should go with that or the 10 motifs in wg. TIA!

Hello all! I Finally got my Perlee bangle! Ty to all of my enablers! Love it stacked with my Alhambra! It goes perfectly.
How do you guys keep it pristine? I will not wear it with the love.

Congrats -- we must've gotten this bracelet a day or so apart
I am sooooo obsessed with it, really loving how shiny it is... And of course am thinking of getting the white gold one as well now... Yikes.

Just wanted to share my latest -- signature bracelet in YG. Somehow, I had been debating whether or not to get this for absolute ages -- which is not like me at all! I went back and forth, visitng it at the boutique more than 3 times (all my other VCA purchases, or heck, any purchase, have been on the spot), and then looking at everyone's great modeling pics, before making the decision yesterday.
Now that it's finally on my wrist, I cannot understand what made me so uncertain I just love it to bits, and even enjoy rubbing off the fingerprint or other small marks that get on it.
Thanks for letting me share~~~View attachment 3680579

YAY! I love it on you! Will you stack it?

 

[sjunky13]

SO pretty!!!!

TY. I really love it!
