I like layering lots of different bracelets, it’s kind of something I’ve been obsessed with lately (okay, let’s be honest, I think I’ve been obsessed with something in every post I’ve made this week).
I remember watching Brad’s season of The Bachelor and loving how Emily Maynard always wore a TON of bracelets on one arm:
In keeping with the everything on my left arm theme, I decided to purchase something I have coveted for a very long time. My mom generously sent me some birthday money and she wanted me to buy something I’d wear all the time and I immediately knew what that would be.
I also picked up this adorable Return to Tiffany™ bead bracelet. They have a lot of these teeny bracelets and they are just so cute and delicate and look so sweet layered with other bracelets. I also have my eye on the Onyx one:
Thanks to my mom for these lovely gifts! I was a very lucky gal this year.
xoxo,
Veronika.
PS- which jewelry item is on YOUR wish list?
PSS- I will probably get a lot of questions about how mine and my mom’s relationship has been going, since I’ve been quite open about it on this blog. The truth is, it’s a never-ending journey. Right now I’m in “A Place of Yes” (a-la Bethenny’s book) about it all. I am trying to look at the positive and seeing what the future holds…with caution, of course. Thanks for your support!

oooo live the pretty blue boxes! My husband got me the silver bead bracelet for my bday 2 years ago and last year he got me the multicolored one- it goes great together too! Happy belated birthday!!

My jewelry item on my wish list is a pandora bracelet 🙂 I love them!
Jacki says
You are speaking my language! I too am having a love affair with bracelets! 🙂
Right now, I have a silver Pandora with one charm which was given to me by my mom. My sisters, mom and grandmother all have the same charm and it is the only one I will ever have on the bracelet – I just like the simple look. Then I have a chakra bracelet with blue and green stones, and a white leather "fake Pandora" style bracelet with no charms. I am always on the lookout for more to add to the collection! 🙂
Little blue boxes are always delightful. My favorite of the two is the smaller bead, "return to Tiffany" bracelet – the delicate little beads are very sweet!

Very nice choices! I was actually just on their website this morning, and I adore those mini bead bracelets with the hearts.
You MUST show us a pic of all your layering 🙂

Well I got a Pandora bracelet from FI a week ago- he knew I wanted one, and he got me 2 clips and 3 charms(a pink glass charm with flowers on it, the evil eye dangle and the everlasting love sterling silver charm (continuous hearts). This past weekend I got the queen bee b/c I wanted it so badly- the charms are addictive! Our wedding is 18 days away and FI told me he is getting me the wedding charm (it's 2 gold rings on a silver pillow with a small diamond) and then asked me what else did I want as a wedding gift. I love the Return to Tiffany bead bracelet you got so I may have to request that xoxo! Belated Happy Birthday-sorry I wasn't more timely life and the wedding has been nuts!!

i love those. the venetian link is also so cute above. and colors/diamonds by the yard would be great to pile on the wrist.
my family has a tradition of tiffany gift cards in stockings, easter baskets, etc. it's a great way to save up over time. . . .tell your hubs. they used to do gift coins, but probably stopped because we were hoarding them.
2 years ago I bought myself this ring using them, but it has a golden citrine stone. It has gone up over $500 in price, but I wear it every day!https://www.tiffany.com/Shopping/Item.aspx?fromGrid=1&sku=GRP02201&mcat=148204&cid=287466&search_params=s+5-p+8-c+287466-r+101323339-x+-n+6-ri+-ni+0-t+-k+#p+5-n+6-cg+viewPaged-c+287466-s+5-r+101323339-t+-ri+-ni+0-x+-pu+-f+

I was also inspired by Emily Maynard's armful of bracelets! Ever since then I have been loading up my left arm with a variety every single day. Its become a staple in my wardrobe. I am in the market for a sideways cross bracelet that were seen on Miami Housewives show. Going to order from etsy!

I love Tiffany ! Who doesn't 😉 I love the silver beaded bracelet you picked. I have the exact same one except it's by Clio Blue, a French jewelry designer : https://www.clioblue.com/
I have the classic Return To Tiffany heart tag bracelet. My husband gave it to me for our first Christmas together and I love it !! I don't wear it every day though, i like to mix it up according to my outfits 🙂
Bisous !

Love love love Tiffany Silver, V! I have been wanting the little return to Tiffany beaded bracelet since last Summer, and yet I haven't stopped by the store to get one for myself. Thanks for reminding me! I love stacking bracelets right now too, especially delicate ones.
LuLu says
Layering is probably one of my favorite things! I've noticed myself picking up more and more bracelets over the years – one of them being the Tiffany Bead Bracelet my boyfriend got me for Christmas one year!

You probably won't approve this comment but I can't believe you'd accept that kind of money from someone you have a rocky relationship with. To each their own, but didn't expect that from you V.

@Jen—You are entitled to your own opinion, even as an outsider. No one can possibly know everything about the relationship between two people, so it's hard to place judgment without knowing the entire story and all of the intricate details—but again, you are entitled to your opinion.
My mom and I have had a difficult relationship, but that doesn't mean that we don't love each other.
My mom has put a roof over my head and took care of me for my entire life. She helped pay for my college education and she also contributed to our wedding. We have our horrible moments and incredible ones— it's a constant journey, and one we will be on for the rest of our lives.
"That kind of money" means different things to different people, I suppose. These are things I could have purchased very easily on my own. I bought them with the money my mom sent me because she wanted me to have something I wear all of the time that was from her.
Anonymous says
@Jen– my mom has always taught me not to take money/gifts (i.e. a friend or someone like an aunt who hurts you but then tries to buy the love) but honestly,your comment seems harsh.
Veronika doesn't mention many details about her relationship, but just that it is "rocky". Don't be so quick to judge. — Sincerely, "T"

I love the pieces that you chose! I have the bead bracelet too! It's gorgeous.
I was blessed that my mom works at one of their distribution centers in New Jersey. She gets GREAT discounts, if not I don't know if I would've had all the Tiffany stuff I have. They really make great things. I've had my heart tag bracelet for 10 years and it still looks great. (Granted I did have to get it cleaned a couple of times but that's expected with sterling).
Enjoy your gifts!! You truly deserve them and that was very sweet of your mom!
Natalie says
I layer my bracelets as well! People think I am crazy because I always wear a Tiffany's link bracelet and the ball bracelet together.
The ball bracelet is a classic – it literally goes with everything. I wear it every single day, no matter what I am wearing.
Enjoy your new purchases – they are beautiful!
Meggy says
Ohhh those boxes just catch my eye all the time! They are lovely, as well as what is inside them! Love that bracelet.
My first Tiffany's gift was from my boyfriend, now-husband for our 5 yr dating anniversary.
On my wish list now… a right hand ring. But I'm not sure what kind yet.

Gorgeous bracelets! Nice birthday pic, enjoy they are beautiful. I recently picked up some Swarvoski goodies, including the beautiful earrings you have mentioned on your blog, the one ones with smaller round crystals circling one larger one. So pretty and loved treating myself!
saccharineabode says
I love those bracelets!
And just have to say, I totally disagree that you shouldn't accept a gift from a person with whom you have a rocky relationship. What are you supposed to say to your mom? "Sorry, no thanks, I can't accept this gift because we've had some tough times?" It sounds like you are working on your relationship and your mom wanted to have something that made you happy, and that sounds good to me.
Diana says
I have been eyeing that bead bracelet for years now lol Which is sad since it has gone up in price by quite a bit. Anyways, i think you finally convinced me to buy my very own. 🙂 I also love the mini bracelet you got. Ahh . . . so many choices so little money ha ha
