Which piece is more special? (Tiffany vs VCA)

[glamourbag]

Oh geez. That's a hard choice but to be honest I love the Victoria on you. It is very flattering on your wrist and looks much more of a statement than the enchanted (its lovely too though). It also looks more "expensive" if that makes any sense. Not that price matters when you love something. I vote Victoria.

So, I don’t like the mixed Victoria bracelet. I’ve crossed that off my list. It’s also $7,000 more for only 0.25 more carats of diamonds, which I find crazy.

Per the suggestions I saw here, I looked into the Victoria alternating bracelet. And it’s so stunning! I’m so surprised. I thought the design was too cookie cutter, but I actually like it, too.

Honestly, I think a diamond bracelet is the way to go. Making my heart sing much more than the perlee clover, if I’m being honest.

Still, between the enchant flower bracelet and the Victoria alternating bracelet, it’s hard to decide. Personally, I find the enchant to be so intricate with the beading and the textured rose-cut diamonds. But the Victoria is so iconic, and it might pair better with Alhambra. Also, perhaps it has greater longevity.

I had originally voted for the Enchant bracelet......and it is beautiful but seeing you with the Victoria changed my mind. The Victoria is a standout and looks more special to me.

I think the Victoria bracelet looks WAY better. The Enchant looks a little more "special" just because it seems to have more detailing but the Victoria is just an overall more elegant style. The rounded Enchant flower styling looks a little young to me... brings me back to floral patterns on pre-teen clothing or accessories. No offense to anyone, I hope.

I think they are both very pretty. Two totally different styles. But I honestly think a regular tennis bracelet with all round diamonds is the most versatile and classic of all and will go with more things.

both are beautiful on you, but i agree that the victoria is more elegant. i do really like the enchant, i think it's very relaxed and fun, the rounded 5 petal flowers could pair nicely with the socrate or flowerlace collection as well imo.

Love the Victoria on you. It looks super classic yet feminine and would look great with many outfits, from a formal gown to a ruffled sundress, as well as look amazing peeking out from the sleeve of a dress shirt under a tailored blazer. While the Enchant is charming, there’s something about the clean cut repeating pattern of the Victoria that really makes a striking statement.

I always liked Victoria. I do not like Enchant at all to be frank. To me, it doesn't look like a high end piece of jewelry, too cutesy for me I guess.

That said, you just mentioned you would wear it with your Alhambra. To me, Victoria alternating does not go with Alhambra. Victoria has marquise cut diamonds, sharp. The motif is Xs and Os. Alhambra is rounded quatrefoils. If you plan to wear this bracelet with Alhambra pieces, for sure, I would get the Perlee Clover. It's a perfect match in my opinion and I like matchy matchy jewelry.

But... back to your original question of which is more special or unique. Neither Victoria nor Perlee Clover are special. They are very common and classic looking pieces. At it's purest, Victoria is just a tennis bracelet, and Perlee is just a gold bangle. The butterfly is the most special and unique.

Oh, and from your other post... if you want a special bangle, I vote the Tiffany Schlumberger Croisillon bangle, gold with turquoise enamel. Or gold with white enamel. Here is the turquoise one... my favorite:
Tiffany & Co. Schlumberger® Croisillon bracelet in 18k gold with enamel. | Tiffany & Co.

In case they take it off the website as these bangles are limited in production and for some reason Schlumberger pieces show up and then disappear on the Tiffany website, I pasted a photo here.

The Victoria for sure, it looks perfect on you and makes a statement, but can also be layered with other jewelry more easily than the enchant. It’s also instantly recognizable as Tiffany for those “in the know”, and it’s timeless and elegant.

Enchant is so cute. But the victoria seems to be the way to go. I would agree that it looks more expensive. But I’m actually worried about that, because I don’t want to come across as showing off. That’s just something I’ll have to deal with personally, I think.

Thank you for your feedback! I so appreciate the members of this forum

Yes, I think I agree that Victoria is overall more elegant. It’s harder to justify the enchant bracelet, knowing that it costs so much.

That would be cheaper for my wallet, hehe. I actually don’t like the look of diamond line bracelets. There’s nothing wrong with them. I just like my pieces to be more ~stylized~

I’m glad to see that there’s a lot more consensus regarding the enchant versus the Victoria. I really do like them both. (I really wish I could just buy both lol) But I think if I had to choose one between the two, it’d be the Victoria at this point. It’s a bit more timeless perhaps. Also, then I could save up for the VCA folie des pres bracelet, which won’t be happening any time soon in this lifetime.

I’m surprised at how I like the alternating Victoria more than the mixed. Usually, I’m such a sucker for things that are asymmetrical, because I think it’s less contrived and more mature. But the alternating is so pretty. It’s evocative of flowers, without being too obvious?

I had a dream today about a pink sapphire Victoria bracelet. Ugh, that would be such a dream. I wish it were offered with other gemstones in the marquise.

There’s a purple croisillon bracelet in the store. But I have to admit it’s not my favorite. I find it hard to wear with my outfits, since it’s such a statement. And I think the enamel means that it should be worn on its own without being stacked. Although, the Lynn or 36stone bracelet could be an option?

Classic seems to be the way to go for these types of things.

 

[chiaoapple]

I have to agree with the Victoria lovers, especially after seeing modelling pics. To be very honest, the enchante somehow seems less “high end” (at least in the pictures) when worn by itself whereas the Victoria has a great presence on your wrist. The enchante improves when stacked with other bracelets.

I am definitely not a fan of the Lynn. I know some people love it, but again, as you are asking for opinions to see all points of view, and I certainly do not mean to offend any Lynn lovers (in the same vein, I know there is jewelry I love that others do not... again preference). Lynn looks like mall jewelry to me, nothing special. 36 stone is nice, but I don't love those metal Xs (way too much metal), so another no for me. If you have not yet tried on the 36 stone bracelet, to me, it feels more like a metal chain bracelet with a few diamonds added vs. the Victoria which is a true diamond bracelet. I think you will immediately know once you try that piece on. It's a lot of metal.

I still vote Victoria. But of course, it's all what you like.
Honestly, I think you are now going off course because neither Lynn or nor 36 stone are special or unique pieces, and I saw in your other post you were looking for a unique piece.

Does the butterfly no longer appeal to you? It was going to be your special piece? All these other pieces are nice, but definitely not special... very common rather. I mention that just to be sure you have no regrets... as in, don't listen to us (including me!). Go with your heart.

Now that we’ve seen modeling photos, the Victoria is hands down nicer. It is such a classic and wearable as an everyday and evening. It is stunning, don’t hesitate any more. Just get the Victoria. Love it on you.

 

[880]

+1. Though I would love the see some one model the butterfly which is the most unique of the three choices.
The criteria of easy to wear is sometimes at odds with a unique piece, unless you subscribe to the notion to simply wear what you love enough so it becomes your unique look. If the test is ease of everyday wear, perhaps the VCA bracelet wins after all. . .
My personal test of whether to buy a piece of jewelry is whether I love it so much, I cannot bear to take it off and must purchase. . .
