any chance you took mod shots of the small hoop earrings? I can’t carry off hoops too well because of my round face but I love how these look on you and I especially love that you can wear them two ways!

I’m sorry, I didn’t. I will remember to just take pics of everything in the future. I’m a big earrings kind of person, so anything smaller than large is “meh” on me.
 
Which Canadian shop has PB? I’ve been looking around and it doesn’t show PB offered in Canada at all :sad:
On the PB website it shows all the locations. Looks like 2 in Toronto and 1 in Montreal.

 
I really do understand DSS :biggrin: My WF are their standard items: huggies and bangle. Diamond bracelet in pt would be dreamy, only i'm between VCA clover bangle/pave RG VA bracelet and WF tennis bracelet :confused1: (near future decisions)

I was very much thinking about the Whiteflash diamond bangle working with the VCA bangles! I have an old tennis bracelet and am deciding between the WF diamond bangle or new tennis bracelet. I'd love to see pictures of what you decide to get, especially if you get the Perlee Clover bangle and wear it with your diamond bangle!

The bangle i have is only 1,5 ct, bought many years ago for everyday use. i'm in between of buying bangle (that is very practical for everyday use) with bigger ctw OR tennis bracelet (not so practical in my opinion, at least for me) OR VCA bracelet/clover bangle. I'm also between WG and RG :blush:

Hi! I vote bangle! My two cents....
I had a 8ct tennis bracelet and got rid of it. I got tired of it because I felt it made me look dated and tied to an era (I'm no spring chicken), and I got bored of it. I thought, well... maybe because it's not big enough, so I was going to upgrade, but nope... I discovered it's the tennis bracelet style I am tired of. I know many people love tennis bracelets, but I realized that look is not for me anymore.

I love bangles and think they look great. A bangle is a bold statement by itself, and if you get a diamond bangle, wow... it will pop. You see tons of tennis bracelets, and regardless whether it's 1ct or 10ct, but it's still a tennis bracelet.. it doesn't say anything except "okay, another tennis bracelet". But diamond bangles are not common, and when you see one being worn, it's bold and really makes a statement.

So... I vote bangle! Anyway, just my two cents. All bling is gorgeous and it's just preference. I just wanted to share a different point of view. I think a VCA Perlee Clover with a diamond bangle would look gorgeous!

If the VCA clover bangle is a piece you are considering, I would suggest getting that first. You can then get a diamond bangle that complements the clover bangle as the clover bangle will be the showpiece because that bangle is pure art. I think it would be a bit harder the other way around, buying the diamond bangle first as you would not know what size or shape (some bangles are more oval, squarish, etc...) complements the clover the best.

Thank you for your thoughtful response! I honestly think I'd wear a bangle more just because they are so much easier to take on and off! Maybe I should get a diamond bangle first as I may find that I have no need for another tennis bracelet (especially since I rarely wore my first one!). I just have to decide whether I want to get the Perlee Clover bangle, since as you told someone else, that would have to come before the diamond bangle. I want it but am not sure I'd wear it enough to justify it.

Yes! Me too... I bought the tennis bracelet (it was an upgrade) thinking I would love it. I did for a while and wore it often. Then I stopped wearing it. I think if you are already not wearing your tennis bracelet, a bigger/newer one will not yield any different results.

I love bangles, and yes.... they are so easy to put on and off (like long necklaces!)
If it were me, I would get the clover and be done with it. Skip the diamond bangle unless you really like to stack bangles. Then get a 20 motif, for example, instead of a diamond bangle. With your clover, you can wear your oynx/pave or other VCA bracelets. I think that would be a gorgeous stack if you want to stack. But I think the clover stands alone great on its own and I do not think it's too dressy. Most people don't even know VCA. Take the price out of your mind, and design wise, it's nothing more than a beautiful WG bangle with a few diamonds sprinkled. It's a very wearable piece.

As a side note... I am reprioritiing my list of pieces to buy. I was going to SO an oynx set (20 motif, earrings, bracelet), but I think this clover bangle is moving up ahead of that for when I go to VCA next month. I will make a decision soon. Then there's the Lotus ring... sigh... I am getting too greedy. :biggrin:
 
@BigAkoya Great advice, as always! It is true that the clover bangle is easily a standalone piece, and to be honest, I lean towards "less is more" when I wear jewelry, especially when it involves a statement piece like the clover bangle. I'll have to give this more thought!
