Too blingy?

[motownmama]

I like it. I often wear a stack, watch and tennis on left but right side bare - I like that two-sided/Gemini thing, I guess!

It's not too blingy. But I don't like bracelets rubbing on any of my watches so on the occasional times I wear bracelets they are on my right arm. Gorgeous bling @ILikeShiny !!!

Thank you all so much for your opinions, compliments, and for not mocking my first-world problem . I've taken the suggestion made by many and moved the bracelet to my right arm today and will see how that feels. I've always worn bracelets on my left wrist, so now I'm really all out of whack .

Could the diamonds in the bracelet scratch your watch lens?

Possibly the bezel, but not the lens. Since this is a watch I'll never trade in (it's wedding present... well technically a pre-wedding present since we couldn't wait to exchange watches ) I'm not worried about future resale value/condition so the scratches wouldn't bother me too much.

And pretty-please could you post a picture of the octagon pendant you mentioned? I love octagon settings!

I'd be happy to! I'm running out at the moment and will be gone all day but will try to post some for you tonight or tomorrow. In the meantime though, here's the thread that discusses its creation and has a few photos for you - https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/idj-custom-pendant-in-memoriam-of-my-mother.237039/

I’m just here to say... WOOHOO A RING SNEAK PEEK!!

This made me giggle . Once the wedding happens (mid-June), I promise photos of my entire set!

What do you wear on your right hand?

You know, I used to ALWAYS put a fashion ring on my right hand. Somewhere over the past year or so I stopped doing that so my right hand is pretty much always bare now.

I keep coming back to admire your bracelet. Can’t help it. I like dbty-link type bracelet. The diamonds look big! How large are they?

Aw, thanks! I love it too . They are 12 pointers and I find they're the perfect size for my everyday wear. The non-consecutive diamonds also make it more casual, which fits my usual wardrobe as well.

Have you tried the bracelet on the other side of your watch?

I actually hadn't so I played with that a bit last night. I found it a bit too tight for comfort and it seemed to get lost in the watch. Good thought though!

I don’t know how I missed this thread. What a beautiful and sentimental piece, @ ILikeShiny. I love it!

Beautiful diamond ring you have and bling. IMHO the watch and the tennis bracelet clash. You also mentioned that your right arm and hand are bare. I would switch something. I would either move the watch or the tennis bracelet to the right arm and add some rings on that hand. I think your tennis bracelet actually looks nice with your rings but I would probably leave the watch on the left wrist and move the tennis bracelet to the right wrist adding some diamonds bands or whatever smaller or not smaller diamond rings on that hand.

I think it would give a nice visual balance with the watch on your right arm and the more delicate items (bracelet, rings) on the left. I like the look of all the things on one arm with the other bare but would worry about the bracelet/watch scratching each other. Love the rose/white together.

This thread has gotten me thinking. I wonder if there have been any threads specifically for a watch+bracelet+wedding set combo on SMTB...and if not, why not ?

I love bling, and I prefer to let each piece shine. You have nice pieces so I would wear the bracelet on your right hand. Let each piece make a statement by itself so the eye does not wander and lose focus.

For example, I know stacking is quite popular now, but I do not like it at all. There is too much going on and then no one piece stands out. I prefer to wear a few blingy pieces and let them be the star.

Hope this helps.
