I love the pink gold in the Perlee Clovers Pendant. It is such a beautiful pendant. The thing to remember that VCA's pink gold is very subtle and easy to mix with other golds.
Apologies for being long winded! Need a little help and would love some thoughts and feedback. I know this may be personal preference but how do people like to wear their bangles, somewhat fitted with a little room or somewhat a little loose? Feedback on wearing using any bangle with a hinge is appreciated.
And for any perlee clover owners, how do you like it to fit? I am right handed and wear most bracelets and watches on my left side, rarely wear anything on my right. However if I get a perlee clover I'd like to have options on which side to wear so that I can have more wearing options to wear more often. The small size perlee clover fits nicely on my left wrist with some space to move, goes over wrist bone nicely without going much down the hand. On the right arm it is kinda fitted, moves some and can maybe go over wrist bone when I shimmy it down or push it down but otherwise it doesn't move too much on my right side. I am not young and not old but I worry also as I get older will my arm/wrist size change etc. Hope these are not silly concerns. Since the perlee clover cannot be adjusted to fit for any body changes in the future I need to get it right. I am definitely not getting a medium but my other option would be custom sizing it to be 1 cm larger. I should also say that I am not a huge fan of the bangles constantly sliding down my wrist past my bone. I like how the perlee clover feels on my left side but am concerned about my right side fit. Should also say that I plan to stack with 5 motif clovers also so maybe not too much movement is okay?
I could just stick to left side and try to get used to having a watch on the right side? Any and all thoughts and suggestions would be really appreciated since this would be a huge purchase for me. Thank you!

Since you seem to like the more fitted feel I would recommend that you purchase the small.
If your wrists expand with age you can always switch it to your left wrist down the road.
This can be tricky to decide with factors like skin tone and jewelry metal presences etc but here are my thoughts... if you're a YG person then maybe that would work well, but if you're generally WG person then I would heavily consider RG instead. I don't do solid YG because of my skin tone but YG works well when combined with onyx or another color and YG is just the accent. So for me in this style I like RG. RG is much warmer and is just beautiful. But not everyone can wear RG as well as YG either. Good luck deciding! Fun dilemma to have. Beautiful pendant.
I really like how the small fits, slim but it still moves. Since you prefer to wear bracelets on your right arm it would be worth making sure the size feels good on that side. If you are really concerned, it may be worth the custom sizing so you have more options in the future. It is a lot of money to spend to not have it possibly not fit.
Thank you ChaneLisette! It fits nicely on the side I normally prefer to wear jewelry. It goes over bone nicely with some space but not loose fitting. It fits in the other side too but almost snug but it can still move. My only problem is that I wear everything on the same side while the other side is usually bare. So I'll probably have to forego a watch when I wear the perlee clover or try training my arm to wear the watch on the other side perhaps. Hmmmm...
Just compared it to a clic H and notice clic H is much looser fit. I hardly wear bangles, even clic H so I'm not sure what to want.

Thanks so much for your advice! You make a great point about YG working well with another color like onyx. I went with RG because i think it does look better with my skin tone and is a bit more subtle. Thanks!
Beautiful.I fell in love with a Chacedony bracelet, I wish they made it in YG. Look so nice on you.
I like my bangles very loose! I also know someone who is going to custom make a Perlee bangle and you may want to do that if the small amount makes a difference for you. You should ask to try the medium on , it may fit better then you think.
GL!
Hmmm...my wrists have not changed, not even a little bit, for several decades. I'm not sure how "snug" the S size fits over your right wrist. But if it's uncomfortable now, then I wouldn't. The customs route might be the best solution - I'd be interested in knowing how much of a premium VCA would charge you for this.
