What's your thinking process? After your *first* love bracelet / adding second bracelet for stacking

I got my first Love bracelet (plain classic YG) as a gift from my mom .. she passed hers to me and upgraded to full pave ones.. anyway I enjoyed it for almost 4 years (stacked with other brands) then decided I want one with 4 diamonds (same metal) to stack.. I was sure about my choice because whether I ended up stacking the 2 or not, I knew I would keep the 4 diamond gold for myself and pass the plain to my daughter..
I did like the 2 YG stacked together but didn’t love the look of them as 1 thick bracelet most of time plus was too scared of wear and tear that I didn’t even give myself time to adapt to the stack so I was alternating between the 2..
Then.. my mom passed her WG plain love bracelet to me so I decided I want to revisit stacking again, I stacked my plain YG and WG and oh boy.. just LOVED the look! That was it! Loved the contrast and visual interest so much that I made it through the first 24 hrs of stacking and all was good! (I actually found out that I can put my bracelets up my arm where they just stay there most of the time so there’s minimum clanging).
This great discovery then had led me to purchase my WG 4 diamond to stack with my YG 4 diamond :biggrin:
So now I have two sets between which I alternate :love: happy ending for me indeed!

I used to be very impulsive and would buy jewellery because I like the look of it, this is what I did with my SM JUC. After I got my Love as a wedding present to add to my stack with my SM JUC, I realised I didn’t really desire anything else for my stack until a special very occasion came along in the future, maybe a big birthday or anniversary. I find that I like jewellery to be sentimental, more than just for fashion or because I like it - that’s what I buy handbags for. I have a YG love ring that I hardly wear because I don’t like how it looks on its own, so I may buy a ring to pair with it, which would be an exception to my sentimental rule lol.
 
When I bought my plain YG LOVE in 2011, I did entertain the idea of another LOVE to stack with (plain WG) but it never came to fruition because I enjoyed wearing the LOVE solo. Then the JUC came out and I started to entertain the idea of buying one.

Fast forward to 2014, my partner and I bought each other one as a gift. It was never my intention to stack the two pieces but when I left the boutique, I got caught up with the concept of stacking so I wore them together (only for about three weeks in total).

Due to sizing & overlapping issues (both my pieces are size 17), I stopped wearing my JUC (only wore it solo occasionally) until last month when I made the decision to wear both bracelets but solo - now my JUC is on the left wrist & LOVE is on the right - my LOVE has never come off.

If my JUC was the correct size, I would probably be okay with stacking but because it’s slightly too big, wearing it solo is my preference. I love seeing stacks on other people but prefer simplicity for myself.
 
I've always been wearing my VCA on
left and when I tried the Love, I didn't like how both move together and concluded they don't look good together. So I switched the VCA to my right.
As some of you know I went to exchange the 16 for a 15, and now switched back the VCA to stack with my 15. I'd say they now pair so prettily. So it's the Love that is wrong size initially that was a "deal breaker" for me.

Nothing changed is that I still do think an additional sm Love would team up nicely =)

My first Love was a classic in gold. I was sure that I just needed one. But of course as soon as it was on my wrist.....I knew I didn't want another classic in gold because I didn't want it to look like a large block of gold. I also don't like matchy matchy so I knew I wanted to add a thin Love. I tried on all the different ones and fell in love with the thin gold with 6 diamonds. I love how the diamonds give it texture. I believe that my stack would be finished with a thin Pave in gold but it is highly unlikely I will ever get one so I settled on a thin JUC in gold with diamonds. Every now and then I want to add a thin Love in white gold :)
