What should I get to stack with my YG small Cartier love bracelet?

I originally wanted the mop but not so keen these days because I find that it’s really commonly worn, and the delicacy of it.
Onyx/carnelian: too hard to wear for summer/pastels?
BA: too bright looking?

Not sure if I should consider hammered gold then add a sweet Alhambra along the way? Don’t know if that’s boring gold on gold as I may add a small JUC with diamonds further down the line.

MOP is very versatile and pretty. I wanted to get it when I was ordering my first 5 motif, but I knew I’d ruin it, so I bought the onyx instead. I wear it daily on the opposite arm of my other bracelets. Since none of my other jewelry has black on it it doesn’t seem too harsh for me and my wardrobe.
Which one is best I think it really depends on your lifestyle and wardrobe. For example, I was fighting with the vacuum today because the bin was stuck, and this happened. If I was wearing the MOP I would’ve been worried about how to clean it and it would’ve scratched probably; but with onyx I rinsed it with distilled water, patted dry, and used a microfiber cloth on it and it’s good as new. Hammered is super durable, but it depends on if you want a stone with it or all gold.

Oh my gosh!! Glad you were able to clean it well
Yes it’s definitely in the back of my mind with certain stones and lifestyle. Think if I chose mop or another delicate stone it wouldn’t be a daily wear for me (my 16 month old toddler would definitely find a way to ruin it!)
Glad the onyx has proved its durability!

The blue agate is beautiful and adds color. I don’t personally don’t find it too bright but there is a range of shades of blue agate. I held out for a deeper shade.
My next choice would be the hammered gold but it wouldn’t add as much of a pop as a 5 motif with some color.
Mother of pearl is too common. Onyx is nice but I prefer the blue, and for carnelian it depends on the shade. I’m not a fan of the browner carnelian shades.

Do you find that the BA goes with most outfit choices? It is beautiful.
My friend got a mother of pear recently and it’s put me off getting it as well, I don’t want to ‘copy’ her!
With carnelian I think it’ll suit my colouring, but worried about wearability- same with onyx I guess.
I can’t imagine reaching for onyx/carnelian much in summer/on holiday.

Other option as well I could consider malachite- I just don’t really wear green and not sure if it’ll suit my wardrobe!

I find blue goes with everything. It’s a pop of color that’s versatile without being in your face. I got mine recently and love it.

IMO bracelets don't really have to match the outfits since it's being worn on your wrist and further away from your body anyway. Whereas with necklace and earrings you'd want them to coordinate/complementary to colors of the outfits.
