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.

Agree on these types of threads. There's always one (or two, etc) that can't get their opinion out without insulting a group of people.

I don't even wear bracelets or watches and I cringed reading a particular post so that user is now on ignore. Great feature that I've utilized more than once.

How about we get back on topic instead of hurling personal attacks. Again if you don’t like the unpopular opinion you can ignore the comments. And yes the ignore feature is a wonderful feature. Glad I won’t be seeing further comments from a certain user.
 
I saw this the other day on social media. Kinda how I feel about the arm stacking situation. They all converge to some kind of conformity aka they all look the same.

That’s brilliant! I do really miss the old Yves Saint Laurent script and logo. Saint Laurent looks like a French swimwear company.

In general why aren’t they gold plating designer costume jewellery. Talk about cheap skates. Loads of people can wear gold plate but are too sensitive for just brass. Cost cutting again.
 
My unpopular opinions are:
1. Even though I have a LOVE bangle, I hate stacks of 3+ of the same bangle. I think it looks too ostentatious and heavy. I just don't understand why you would need that many LOVE bangles to begin with. It's too much.
2. I also don't like it when the LOVE ring is worn with an engagement ring as a wedding set. I just don't think it looks appealing when worn with a beautiful diamond ring. It's odd looking.
3. Never been a fan of traditional wedding sets. I prefer separate rings that are unique and different worn together instead.

I totally agree with number 2 esp when the rings are different colors. I can see the thin pave being ok with an ering but the regular width love looks silly with an ering.

My unpopular jewelry opinion is that grown women should not be sheep. I see women who feel that they have to purchase a particular brand, usually VCA or Cartier, to fit in with the cool girls. I see a herd mentality at work and sometimes these pieces are back on the resale market quickly because the woman realizes that it was purchased for the wrong reasons and didn't actually love whatever it is.

I also don't know what to think when I see a wrist that has the Love or Juste un Clou bracelet in three different color golds and/or with a diamond one thrown in the mix. It is the OK you have the megabucks to spend to throw all this on your wrist. I'm not impressed and you either have no imagination and/or need to impress me with all of this at one time.

A great deal of this is keeping up with virtual friends. How sad is that.
 
I think that it def contributes to sparkle. But also think color and clarity are important. I would rather go for a smaller diamond that is better quality but that’s just me.
I don’t think you understood my post. Some people think just because a diamond is big it’s beautiful. I’m saying making sure that it is proportional to your finger size, your hand size, heck even your lifestyle is important. I am not referring to the 5c’s in any way.
 
People re/selling stuff for ridiculous price, e.g. a cord Cartier gives for free, on VC for £50! (It’s unpopular opinion becasue this is all too common so probably not many think there’s sth amoral going on here) :facepalm:
