Deciding between VCA vintage YG white MOP bracelet or Cartier YG cuff for a big anniversary. Have LOVED both for years. I want something that I will get use out of and enjoy everyday. Also, I am rather hard on my jewelry. I've been obsessed with the Love Bangle for years, but have a phobia about something being locked on my body, hence the cuff. Its going with a SS Rolex Air King on the other arm. Wear the VCA YG white MOP charm and YG Onyx charm daily. Is a bracelet too matchy-patchy? Thanks!!! Any advice from you treasured stylistas would be so appreciated!!!

Monica--thank you for your advice :) I should clarify--the charms are necklaces. But, I'm leaning towards the cuff. I'm worried I will scratch up the VCA.

Aha! :p
I would still go for the cuff:
- less matchy matchy (although you don't have to wear your complete VCA collection everyday. But since you mentioned you wear your necklaces every day...).
- it can take a stiff beating (but the first scratches will probably hurt)
- the clean lines will be gorgeous with the romantic and classic design of your VCA necklaces

I totally understand, I don't like to have "permanent" jewelry either, which is why I got the Love cuff instead of the bracelet. I would go try the cuff, it's pretty durable. My only issue was there aren't as many options in the cuff as the bracelets.

I just saw Bethc's pictures of her 2 cuff - RG and WG side by side. They look so beautiful and shiny and not as scratched as the all around bangles get. I wonder if they are worn everyday.

Yes, I do pretty much wear them everyday...but I don't sleep in them. I've had the WG one since September and it got pretty scratched, especially since I used to wear it with my Tank watch. I just had it polished, not refinished, at Cartier and it made a huge difference!

The RG one is about a month old, it's one size smaller than the WG one, so they move around a lot on my wrist, but it hasn't really scratched.

Bethc--thanks for posting so quickly!! The bracelets look fantastic! (btw, I wear my Trinity with a diamond band, too) Scrolled through your threads to find the pic and . . . WOW . . . your handbag collection is UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!! I had to pick my jaw up off the floor :) If you ever clean those closets out I want to be first in line! Enjoy them in good health!!

the love cuff seems a lot sturdier to me for everyday wear. but i think it ultimately depends on your style as well. i think the love cuff is great for a casual look.
