If you could only get one yellow gold Vintage Alhambra bracelet for your stack - would you get a Guilloche or a Hammered one? And why?

Guilloche is easily scratched, and when it does, it goes dull and you loose that beautiful reflective quality. It’s less likely to scratch quickly and badly if worn alone.
As you mentioned, it was to wear in a stack, I vote hammered gold. I maybe a little biased as I’m currently wearing my hammered gold 5 motif with a diamond tennis bracelet as I type and I adore the look.

I think guilloche looks better...but it does get scratched easily. If you intend to stack it, try to get it shorten/tighten a bit to fit more snuggly on your wrist so it doesn't slide or move around that bang up against your other bangles and bracelets as much to prevent some scratches. If you're OCD and like both styles, hammered gold will be more carefree and low maintenance, but it doesn't look as impactful in person imo.
YG Hammered. I think it is both more classic and less fussy than guilloche without being too conservative
Re WG, I believe someone pointed out that the newer wg hammered looks a bit like pave.

Thanks everyone! I appreciate all of your insights. I’m going to place an order for the hammered one 
guilloche...i suppose it does get more scratches than the hammered but its really not noticeable and as soon as I clean it, its good as new. I wear mine daily stacked. I really don't notice much scratches...
I have been wearing hammered yellow gold 5 motif for 3 years nonstop and I never get tired of it, its the best!
Hi, I didn't take a photo of it when it was new but I am sure it looks as good as new today!
That's great to know I just got the rose gold hammered ❤️
