What do you layer/stack with your VCA 5 motif bracelets?

Ladiiies, You have such wonderful taste — may I ask for some thoughts:

I am relatively nee to VCA and just bought a 5 motif YG Alhambra bracelet. Now I am not sure how it is supposed to look like when your hand is down. See attached pics. I am thinking about buying one more and/or stack it with a perlee bracelet/love bracelet. Is it too long? Did you get yours shortened?

Would love to hear your views too!
Congratulations on your beautiful bracelet. It’s a personal preference on deciding to shorten your bracelet. Some people like to leave long so they can combine with necklaces. I shortened all my Alhambra’s and wear snug as this more or less keeps them in place versus jumbled and scratching other bracelets. IMO this bracelet is too large and needs to be shortened

Thank you so much for your swift reply! ♥️

Do you shorten them all at the same length or do you have them in different sizes so the one at the bottom is slightly longer?

I shorten mine all to the same length. I like to stack and don’t like my bracelets to move much. Also they have to remove 2 links at a time so if you leave one longer it will definitely move and jumble on the other bracelets
 
Lovely Ladies, What do you think of combining a YG guilloche, MOP, Perlee clovers and Cartier love bracelet? Or maybe a Perlee Perles instead of Cartier love bracelet? Too much?
I think it could definitely work however they recommend not stacking the guilloche because of scratches. I would do perles over love unless you already have love. My reason being is that Perlee Clover and love don’t sit flush together for some strange reason that bugs me.

I agree with not stacking guilloche since it will be scratched by other bracelets and would wear it alone. The original hammered solid gold version is safer to stack with other bracelets. I personally would stick with Perlee bracelets over Love. The rounded edges of Perlee bracelets might do less damage when stacking other bracelets.

I think so too — the design of the love and the Perlee clover does not look as good together in my opinion. However, I find the Perles quite expensive for just a gold bangle. Maybe I should go for a tennis instead to add some more bling to the stack? I see your point with the scratches. On the other hand jewelry to me is an item of use ;) I might just give it a try and see how it goes. Btw, the SA was not too happy about me stacking my watch either :-D

I agree it is a lot for a plain gold bangle but it does work in a stack. I absolutely love a tennis bracelet mixed into a stack so I definitely would put the 5k towards a tennis vs the plain bangle. It gives it a pop and adds that depth to a stack. I am a stack girl also but I just wear bracelets snug so they don’t really jumble or scratch the watch
