Hi , Thank you so much for very helpful video of sizing. I'm also wear Juc size 15 and Love Cuff size 17. And just purchased VCA guilloche Bracelet. And your Bracelet looks perfect fit and stack with Juc I really appreciate your video.

[@jyy5692]

Thank you for the review. I just got my white gold guilloche last week and I noticed a few scratches today, worn it with my Rolex watch a piece from my mum. I was upset at first, but your view abt characteristic definitely comforted me.

[@nt2girls]

Just subscribed. What a helpful sizing and FAQ for VCA. So helpful! Thank you!

[@ClaraZeela]

Glad it was helpful for you! Hope you find what you are looking for and have a great week!

[@corinardh8635]

Thx for the video. So informative

[@MadamMMStyleIcon]

This is very informative review. I love my Guilloché bracelet too. ✨

[@ClaraZeela]

Glad it was helpful for you!! Happy to twinning this beautiful bracelet!!

[@sandrad801]

Excellent sizing review, thank you.

[@kris_tan]

Wonderful review! Great tips to using the scotch tape to hold the bracelet so that we can put on the bracelet on our own!

[@ClaraZeela]

Thank you Kris !! Hope this tip works and is also helpful for you !! Have a fabulous day !!

[@rizzirizz713]

Van Cleef is on my wishlist this yr hopefully I can save enough money and splurge what a classic piece

[@ClaraZeela]

Yes it’s beautiful isn’t it !! Hope you will also be able to splurge on this piece soon !! All the best !!

[@mafaldamontecalvo5678]

Thank you for explaining how to find the proper measurements. I’m still doing my research before I purchase the bracelet. 😀

[@ClaraZeela]

Glad it was helpful and hope you can enjoy it soon!

[@myagurleen]

I recently just bought the van cleef yellow gold alhambra pendant along with the 5 motif malachite bracelet! This is my next piece I have my eyes on.. I feel like it’ll be easier to wear everyday. Malachite is difficult since if’s such a delicate piece

[@ClaraZeela]

Yes , generally gold is easier to care for than stones as I don’t need to worry about constantly removing them near water or when I shower. Plus it’s not the easiest bracelet to take on and off all the time. Hope you can get it soon !! Love the pendant too !!

[@SabrinaShekofteh]

Great review. Thank you! ❤️

[@ClaraZeela]

Thank you Sabrina, I'm such a huge fan of your channel and OBSESSED with your bracelet stack! I learned so much from you! Thanks for your nice comment!

[@SabrinaShekofteh]

@@ClaraZeela Hi darling, you are too kind. Thank you so much. I just discovered your channel two days ago as I was searching for Van Cleef. I really have been enjoying your content and cannot wait to see all your videos. Have a great evening.❤️

[@Msannimali]

I have the necklace and bracelet! My fave purchases from VCA! Enjoy!!

[@ClaraZeela]

Thank you !!

[@petit.flo_]

Clara you rock! 💪🏻💗💗 There’s zero to none info about the sizes of this bracelet! And everyone seems to like a lose fit which I don’t at all 😭🙈 I prefer the bracelet to be snug, just one finger of space in there.. at least this kind of style… I don’t like them twisting or moving too much. 😂🙌🏻

[@ClaraZeela]

Yup !! For such an expensive piece there are limited details from ppl about bracelet sizing in general. Without a good fit I know I just wouldn’t wear it !! Hope it helps but yes I think it’s best to try the sample sizes in store. The length is perfect for me now - not loose but not so tight it cannot move at all. The clovers are big and heavier as they are gold so for myself I prefer them not to move around too much !! I still need to do house errands and can’t be bothered with a floppy bracelet !! Hope it helps those looking to size bracelets in general. I think smaller chains can be more loose as they are more lightweight in general and you don’t have clovers flopping all over the palm of your hand and past the wrist ! Just my personal preference !!

[@premeyumlife443]

Very informative my lady. 👍🏼💚 I removed 2-3 links I think n it’s still loose. I did try the sample bracelets. 😘😘😘Sandy

[@ClaraZeela]

Haha maybe consider to remove more - it will be so much more comfortable!!

[@motherlycut]

Thanks a lot for the comprehensive review ,In terms of cleaning I use my Cartier cleaning kit, not sure what will I do after it ran out. So far I won’t dare to use soap on it 😃

[@ClaraZeela]

I believe there are also many jewellery cleaners on the market that should be safe for gold but yes I'm sure the Cartier cleaning kit is pretty safe!

[@stuartmaybe1745]

Hi, Is any of the motif twist when you wear it???

[@ClaraZeela]

It depends on how loose you wear it. It will twist a big if worn loose. For me mine are fitted more closer to my arm so the motif may twist a bit but not too much.

[@ThaoTran-fx5dk]

Thank you for sharing

[@ClaraZeela]

Tx for watching !!

[@bunnybun2045]

Thank you

[@ClaraZeela]

Ur welcome and thanks for your comment and stopping by !!

[@kellyc9846]

What is the size of your JUC and your final length of VCA? Thanks for the vid!

[@ClaraZeela]

JUC is 15 and my VCA was finally 17cm hope it helps !

[@charmevs2]

​@ClaraZeela I love the fit of your bracelet! I have love in 16, juc in 15. What is the size of your vca? Can you confirm, 16.5 cm or 17cm?

[@itskimhere]

Love your video Clara! Your guilloche video is the best 😍 Btw what's the necklace you're wearing?

[@ClaraZeela]

Thank you! I believe it's just a diamond solitaire. Tx for watching!

[@knowingluxe]

Would you also speak about west and tear and whether you wear this daily? I’m thinking to review mine on my new channel, but I don’t wear it much so wouldn’t be able to really say. May wait another year before doing it.

[@ClaraZeela]

Hi There, thanks for your mesage. I only received mine about two month ago and don't wear it daily so not sure if the wear and tear review would be fair but can maybe review it in a few more months after more use. Congrats also on your bracelet!! The guilloche is definitely such a beautiful bracelet!!

[@corinardh8635]

Hakme also bought some VCA

[@ClaraZeela]

Yes I saw !! Gorgeous !!

[@akadia71]

Thank you for this. (by the way, it's pronounced gee-oh-shay, there's an accent on the last e, guilloché)

[@ThaoTran-fx5dk]

Thank you so much ! I love your stack

[@ClaraZeela]

Ur welcome and thanks for your nice comment !! Have a great week !!

[@shahrzaddani]

My JUC is 16, what should I get from VCA? Thank you!!!

[@ClaraZeela]

This is tricky. I really highly recommend that you actually try them on at VCA as they may charge you to have it re-sized. my JUC is 15 but everyone has a different preference on how loose or tight they may want their bracelet to be.

[@shahrzaddani]

@@ClaraZeela I went with 16, but it’s very tight, like you said it’s not for everyone. Having said this since I wanna stack it up with Love and JUC and the MOP VCA, Cartier SA said it’s better to have them as tight as possible so they wont scratch each other and make noises.. thank again:)

[@ClaraZeela]

@@shahrzaddani Oh dear that is WAY too tight. This style of bracelet should be able to move slightly and not so tight against the wrist. I think this is way too tight. A rule of thumb for me is to be able to put 1.5 to 2 fingers max into these more flimsy bracelet styles. I do stack mine also and it doesn't bother me. If it's too tight it will suffocate your arm and also cause marks. It's meant to be move a little, esp in the summer your arm will swell. My JUC is size 15 and my VCA is about between 16.75 to 17cm. If you are size 16 in JUC i would recommend to go for 18cm. If they have sample sizes at the shop (and they should have them) I would go in and try them to see which one works best. I think 16 is definitely way too tight! If you message me on instagram I can show you what I mean by two fingers space @ClaraZeela.

[@shahrzaddani]

@@ClaraZeela thank you so much for your in detail response:) I am a surgeon so I really wear my accessories for a couple of hours if I’m attending a meeting or having dinner out. But will do, whenever I go to a city with VCA stores, will try them on and ask my SA to do the $300 charge and go higher:) Thanks again for ur kind help:) It’s unfortunate that we dont have any luxury stores in Halifax, Canada:/ lots of returns and exchanges:/ and this one was the tricky one becuz I had absolutely 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@ClaraZeela]

@@shahrzaddani They may be willing to do it free of charge if you explain you had no chance to try the sizing bracelets. Good luck!

[@hiravsonani4590]

How many grams gold ? Vintange alambra

[@ClaraZeela]

I don’t know you will need to ask VCA. I buy these as a fashion accessory - if you want 999 gold goto a local jeweller or buy actual gold - these are not meant to be investable pieces and will likely lose a lot of value after worn.

[@Susy-gs1bx]

How many grams is the bracelet?

[@ClaraZeela]

Around 19.5 grams but the main point is the the clovers will drag down the chain. If you have a Pandora or Links bracelet with charms - the clovers will hang over your palm and so you need to account for that if you are wearing it daily; however it will all be subjective as everyone’s perfect fit will vary depending on how loose or tight you like to wear your bracelet. Hope it helps !!

@@ClaraZeela thank you very much!
