On the wrist the scratches on the guilloche would bother me too much since the bracelet is within line of vision. The WG hammered is very white to me, in fact flat almost matte white. Doesn’t reflect except the center bead so it is very white. And scratches are impossible to see. The question is whether the hammered goes with the JUC.

I wear my RG Hammered with my RG double JUC and sometimes a RG tennis diamond bracelet. They go very well together.
I have some guilloché bracelet but I don’t stack them unless with something that won’t scratch. I would hate the many scratches from the JUC too…

I would go with guilloche. The JUC is a very industrial and architectural look. The guilloche is the same with it's crispy cut metal lines. The hammered gold is more old world glamour. The point of hammered gold is texture, to make it look old-world. In WG, the hammered gold will not look 'YG old world" nor will it be polished metal shiny. I think it will gray next to the JUC because it is so textured and your JUC is so polished. Note though... if you were wearing a Clover, I would say go with WG hammered because the hammered adds texture and plays off the Clover.

If you are going to wear JUC, I would stay with the polished metal theme and go guilloche. You get a super shiny wrist.
I wouldn't worry about scratches... buy what you love and what looks great, not what is safe. Buying safe tends to end up with regrets.

Just my two cents. Hope this helps.

Yes I wear my YG diamonds Juc with my hammered yg Alhambra and they look great, but it does shine a bit less than the smooth yg surface of the Juc. So having a “white shiny wrist” sounds good to me (still afraid I can see the scratches, being a bit of a perfectionist l) :idea:

Hi again! I don't know if you really really really love the guilloche bracelet or just want a VCA piece.
If it's the latter, may I suggest the Signature Perlee bangle?

I personally am not a fan of mixing the JUC with a VCA 5 motif bracelet. I don't think it goes great.
If you might like the Signature Perlee bangle, you could wear them together and you won't get scratches. They'll just "bump" next to each other, but the bump is so tiny, and it's not like get rear-ended at 60mph. It's more like a tiny tiny tiny tiny tap at 0.00005mph. No damage! Safe!

With those two bracelets, JUC and Perlee Signature, you keep that shiny look, and the Perlee beads on the bangle soften the overall look. It will be a statement wrist.

Just a thought to see if you might like it. I would personally stay with the polished, shiny metal bangle theme. It's a nice pop on the arm, and the eye stays focused as the bangle theme is consistent. The "one bangle and one link bracelet" theme is a bit messy to me and does not make a strong statement. That's just me though.
Hope that helps. Good luck in your decision.

I was talking to my SA to order the WG guilloche set. As FYI, the 20 is alternating. :annoyed: :heart:
I am such NOT a fan of alternating. Ugh... Decisions. Do I cave just to get a WG set? Do I sound desperate? :biggrin::heart:

I think you know that the answer is no. On the other hand, I love alternating. This does fit with what we would expect for the initial launch considering previous releases though. I would wager that they will release all white gold guilloche options in the future, similarly to the timeline with the yellow gold guilloche. Who knows if that will include a 20 motif, but certainly it would be approved for a special order at that point.
Do you know if the bracelet is alternating with pave? I am hoping it is!

I don’t understand why they are making the alternative pave and guilloché necklace. The guilloché will be very shiny already and the bracelet isn’t pave… It will look too dressy to my opinion. Will make people want to SO a necklace… Unless you just buy 2 or 4 bracelets and make a set?
I am thinking of the bracelet but would actually like a magic pendant to go with it. Or 2 bracelets as a pendant.
Maybe they will add more options later on?

Ohhh! My SA told me it’s 20 motif all guilloche. Same as the bracelet 5 motif all guilloche white gold. I am still indicisive if I should get this soon to be released white gold guilloche or not, never own guilloche piece and also all my jewelry is yellow/rose gold. Any advice would be wonderful!

All pieces are all metal, except the 20! The 20 is my centerpiece for a set.
And you are right.. I can't do it. Alternating is so not me. I like the purity of 20 stones exactly the same.
But.. alternating is so you! You like that creativity of alternating.

I also think you are right in that a 20 all guilloche may be added later.
