I will probably get some heat for this but here goes anyway: A single bangle/bracelet or two on a wrist looks more elegant and classy than having an arm party with several. The arm party just looks like a display of money...kind of tacky imo. Sorry, not a fan of overstacking. People should wear all of their jewelry just not at the same time!
I find it okay for people to post / do whatever they want especially re: wealth as it's their money. But agreed that an arm party just to show off how much one can spend doesn't indicate taste and can be the opposite.
Nothing against arm parties - there are some that look really good. But if it's like, "look I bought 5 of these expensive but entry level branded bracelets" then there are similarly / more expensive things that look like more than just a stack of gold on one's arm.
Frankly the same can be said about branded bags - it helps (often better design considerations, better quality) but it doesn't make one stylish. Choosing a really loud branded bag might even have the opposite effect
Agree and this is what I was getting at in my unpopular opinion.
yes...I meant to reply to your post that I agreed with you! =)
I like single bracelets, but I WAY prefer stacking my bracelets.
It isn't a matter of flashing what I have or showing off, and I think many others would agree with me..
I look at it as a way to be creative; I love the eclectic feel and all of the different textures. It also took me a long time to figure out what works together & what doesn't, how to mix metals, where to add some bling, etc.

i like seeing different things, and I am personally not fond of stacking. In my case, I like bigger jewelry, and I don’t want to hear brackets clinking against each other. But, I also have a shorter, chunkier forearm, so stacks don’t look as good on me.
This is a very popular opinion lol
You do it amazingly well

Hi gf! Thank you so much! Unpopular opinion:
I like patina and what Suzanne Belperron referred to as grey gold (hammered, somewhat unpolished, perhaps aged white gold)
My DH, H SA, and my independent jeweler have all suddenly voiced the opinion that WG or even silver don’t do my complexion any favors. I haven’t bought any recently except for an Eleuteri rock crystal ring from the 1950s that was relatively modest in price.

Apologies for being OT, but since so many people have mentioned liking silver, unplated white gold, nickel allergies, platinum, etc…I just wanted to mention Leen Heyne’s gorgeous creations as options. Because of twisting of the metal, his “white gold” is mixed with palladium and comes out a beautiful soft grey. Here are some creations his IG. I have the thick silver twist ring and LOVE it!
Which brings me to my unpopular opinion: I don’t like the look when people ONLY wear recognizable branded pieces. Imho, it’s like logo-mania and seems unimaginative. Mix it up with unbranded, under-the-radar, unique and personal pieces!

^ Yup! Mix it up and put your spin on it. Seems what we see as “stylish” nowadays is the $$$$ price tag. Not true.
I have to agree with not loving the (what seems like) recent plethora of photos with so many bracelets, rings, etc. worn at once. In fact, the term "stack" makes me shudder. A couple of bracelets artfully chosen can look great, but what seems like a dozen or more makes me just ask myself "why?"
If you look hard enough you can find someone who hates EVERYTHING..bracelets stacked, single or wearing a bracelet at all. Given that this is a site where people love beautiful things, where I’ve seen external criticism of its members for loving those beautiful things because of their cost so will never understand why “unpopular opinion” posts are allowed INSIDE the forum. There’s nothing healthy about them as they only criticize the choices others have made and completely contradicts with the “wear what you love” advice/philosophy that we typically share. I’d be ok if I never saw similar posts as they only make people question themselves for having followed it.I like single bracelets, but I WAY prefer stacking my bracelets.

These are so gorgeous! Love the gray gold
I like reading what people love and what they dislike. oftentimes, I reverse myself completely bc I’m swayed by a pretty combo (I’m super suggestible that way)
all This keeps me from thinking about the real world lol.

You can always unfollow or ignore the posts you think are negative. I don’t think everyone has to like everything everyone posts. And I think having the ability to have differences of opinion in this forum is what makes this forum a great place to converse. We are not all lemmings and it’s not reality to like everything everyone has. Of course it doesn’t mean one should be rude in their comments. It is perfectly healthy and normal to have likes and dislikes. Your motto is choose kindness. When posting consider how you choose your words because what you just posted was quite the opposite. It’s not kind to be trying to silence those who just think differently.
Going back to unpopular jewelry opinions, I don’t like most heart shaped jewelries like the happy collection with chopard. It’s very dated looking in my opinion and a bit juvenile. I think the Tiffany Elsa line has a better design.
