What to buy next? Frivole, Guilloche, or sweet perlee clover?

[harwinlady]

I want to buy an everyday piece but am having a hard time deciding what to get next. I currently wear a YG 5 frivole bracelet and RG sweet perlee clover pendant necklace. I’m debating on if I should complete my Frivole collection with the 9 frivole necklace or complete my sweet perlee collection with the RG bracelet. Or should I get my first Alhambra piece with a Guilloche YG 5 motif bracelet or 10 motif Guilloche necklace? I think wearing 2 necklaces would look cute or is that too much? Since I have a pendant necklace, a 9 or 10 motif necklace would look a little busy but I could always wear it by itself. Please help!

All of the pieces you mention are beautiful, but few would be worn together with what you already have as a natural pairing. I think that you can pair one of your pieces with one of the new ones on your list more easily.

For pairing your current piece of the RG Perlee pendant; this would be very beautiful with the new addition of the sweet Perlee clover bracelet, especially since they are both in RG. It could also be worn with the YG guilloche 5 motif if you love that more, even though it is not a matching pair, since the metal on the RG necklace is not very noticeable.

I would not wear either bracelet on your wishlist with your current frivole 5 motif bracelet. It could possibly work with a YG Perlee sweet clover bracelet if you would consider that option in YG. Since VCA RG is very pink and the frivole in YG is such a shiny yellow gold, those would be harder to pair. With guilloche and the 5 flower frivole bracelets, I think that that there is too much going on to combine them.

If you choose a necklace on your wishlist, I would not wear it with your current RG Perlee necklace. The most natural pairing would be the frivole 9 flower necklace with your frivole 5 flower bracelet. The pairing of your frivole bracelet would be a lot going on with a guilloche 10 motif necklace, but again, maybe I would be surprised.

Is your top priority to add a piece that you intend to wear with both of the two in your collection already? With at least one piece in your current collection? Or is your top priority just to choose the next piece that you love the most, and either wear it with another piece of jewelry or ad a coordinating piece later on?

I don't like to make suggestions for pieces outside of a specific wishlist, but if your primary aim is to wear your two current pieces with a new addition, I would be interested to know if you have any other items on your wishlist.

On the other hand, if you just want to add the piece next that you love most, regardless of pairings, I think that they all are beautiful and 3 of the 4 are somewhat statement pieces.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. Yes, the necklaces are statement pieces for sure. I’m gifting myself a nice VCA for my milestone 40th birthday and want it to be extra special. That’s why I want to wear it everyday, although it may be little much.

I don’t really mind mixing metals RG and YG. If I could get all RG I would, but frivole only comes in YG I believe.

I’m allowing myself a big purchase, so that’s why most of my choices are so expensive and feel like I need to justify the big price by saying I will wear it every day, but I’m fickle and will find something else as a daily eventually. I think I’m leaning towards a bracelet because I can look at it everyday, but a necklace is more so others can see it. So that means I think I’ll probably get the RG sweet perlee clover bracelet to complete my collection. And eventually I can get another VCA piece another time.

I totally understand. I just got a big wishlist piece for a milestone as well. I would personally go for either the RG Perlee or the frivole station necklace off of your list. However, you could make the case for the YG guilloche necklace and bracelet as a set as well if you prefer to start a new set.
