oh the narrow one is a lot nicer then on the website. i love the way that the serpenti adds texture. it compliments the perlee clover really nicely, and i like that it adds a different shape compared to the other normal rectangular bangles.
Yes, I like mixing it up. Next time I go back - this is in London Jewelers, which also has VCA - I want to try on the Two Butterfly PG/MOP ring with that stack instead of the matching Serpenti ring. Three Serpenti pieces might be a bit much on one hand.
Personally, I love the pave serpenti. It’s modern and edgy, but very wearable.
I’ve been eyeing the Bulgari Serpenti too (my Zodiac is the Snake). However, the prices are quite high and I’d rather get something from VCA for that kind of money.
I am feeling the same. The snake is growing on me but the price isn’t.
I can totally understand that - I already have the Perlee Clover, and I'm not sure I want two Perlee bracelets in the stack. Plus the price difference between the larger (medium?) pave Serpenti and the single row pave Perlee is minimal. But between the two brands there is absolutely no comparison, to me.
I understand. The serpenti is beautiful with your stack, especially the mop one. I wish they made a mop one that wrapped versus the bangle. Then I might get it. I am likely going to add non branded diamond bangles to my love stack and then get a wg perlee clover to add some variety to my left arm. I am not in love with single row perlee either.
May I ask why you find this new semi-paved bracelet off-looking? Just curious about your opinionhave y’all seen the newest additions to the bvlgari serpenti line?
this new serpenti bracelet has way less diamonds than the original, but ofc the price is also dramatically smaller
for some reason i think the semi-paved bracelet just looks off.

. Because after building a VCA collection for some time I have been feeling like exploring a new brand/style and eyeing the bulgari serpenti white gold pave bracelet for a while now. And now that I saw this one on instagram I kind of also like it, but I am just not sure how I really feel about it in comparison with the pave serpenti bracelet. (Also have not seen this version in real life yet because due to another covid-19 lockdown the boutique is currently closed where I live) Thank you for your reply in advance! I am so glad you brought this up as I was thinking ALOT about the serpenti bracelets just this week due to lockdown boredom LOLIts hard to describe, but I think that it doesn't look as serpentlike as the original full-paved. Having diamonds only on the head and tail look odd to me, it looks inconsistent. It's kind of how I feel about the thin juste un clou, it'd be pretty if I saw it on it's own, but since I know what the OG looks like it's just underwhelming.May I ask why you find this new semi-paved bracelet off-looking? Just curious about your opinion
Yes i agree with you that the pave serpenti version is definitely more gorgeous and stunning ❤!! As the other one is new I will see how I feel about it after a while. They also have the rose gold pave so they probably designed this new rose gold one to attract people at a lower price point as the pave persion is quite expensive and also increased in price with around €3000 last summer which kind of pissed me off LOL. And made me wish I had already taken the plunge regarding this bracelet.
€3000 is such a huge increase, im pissed too now and i’m not even planning on purchasing it! they have the necklace version of the semi pave serpenti, but i honestly really dislike that design. it just looks awkward to me and not very snake like, it’d be better if it draped more.
My first jewellery love affair started in 2008 with Tiffany & Co and I am really glad that I got some nice earrings from the jazz and legacy collection which are now not in their collection anymore. Also some yellow and white gold atlas pieces. Atlas also seems kind of phased out at Tiffany’s as they do not really promote that collection anymore but still carry some pieces. I am really glad with the older tiffany pieces because they are not popular/made anymore so they feel extra special to me ❤️.
Then I fell in love with Cartier and acquired some items there from the Love line, Himalia earrings and some pieces from the caresse d’orchidee line which I still really love. But unfortunately both the Himalia and caresse d’orchidee lines have been discontinued (please google them if you are not familiar with them). They were both very elegant and more unique designs and for me the most beautiful Cartier lines in my opinion. But an SA at Cartier told me that they were not selling as well as the much more popular love and juste en clou lines. But lately the new designs at Cartier such as clash de Cartier have not done anything for me tbh so I have not purchased anything there for the last 3 years.
After that I had a VCA obsession instigated by TPF for 2,5 years LOL. VCA still remains my number one favourite jewellery brand and was indeed a slippery slope LOL. But after purchasing the VCA items on my wish list such as some alhambra and frivole items I wanted to look into a different brand/style. I coordinate my jewellery with the rest of my outfit. For example bvlgari serpenti for me I would wear with a more daring, sexy vavavoom dress and for VCA I dress differently again. VCA for me is the epitome of elegance with a girly and a bit whimsical touch.
So currently I am looking into the Bvlgari serpenti line (which I find a more “sexy” or daring and slightly provocative style as opposed to VCA) specifically the serpenti bracelet which Notoriouspink posted such as beautiful picture off. And some other serpenti pieces like the matching ring etc. But the other Bvlgari lines have not made my heart skip a beat like serpenti so it will probably only stay at a few serpenti pieces. And then I will see what’s next or finally find some jewellery piece LOL. Apologies for the super long rant but jewellery is really my passion and really wanted to share my jewellery story/journey with you guys as I am normally quite shy to do so
