Monica Viander or Stella & Dot bracelet

Anyone got one? I've been drooling over the Fiji bracelet on the website and would love one but wonder if they are a bit faddy or not? I'd prob go for the silver 'calm' one

Alternatively, I've also been eyeing up this bracelet from Stella & Dot. Not sure gold or silver....

I have the Monica Vinader one in silver with a brown thread. I love it and wear it most days - either by itself or with other bracelets.

Personally, I don't like the Stella & Dot one.

I have the renegade in both silver and gold, I love them both, although was surprised that it is on an elastic rather than a catch fastening iykwim.

Clarabumps · 09/08/2012 07:47

I like the stella and dot one..gorgeous!

ComeonComeon · 09/08/2012 10:03

I have the Monica V one, the exact one you're looking at Smile I wear it most days too, it's so simple it goes with everything and is subtly luxe. I often wear it layered with my cream leather Pandora bracelet, which only has a couple of silver charms on it; I think they go really well together.

Although we must have similar taste because I've been eyeing up that Stella and D one in silver! Grin I loved the Eddie Borgo one it is a rip-off of and the price is good IMO.

Get both of them I would say the Fiji one as it's so classic and beautiful.

MissFoodie · 09/08/2012 10:05

I sell S&D and have the renegade, but if it were a choice between these two specific bracelets, I would get the MV without a doubt!

mumto2lovelygals · 09/08/2012 10:26

I have the renegade and I love it, I always get lots of comments. I think these two would look fab together!

No no no, I can't get both can I?!

In still no closer to making a decision! Couple more questions to those that have either if you don't mind...

My wrists are v skinny...does the tie on the MV Fiji close neatly and not slip loose?

And how big is the S&D one and does it feel secure. Ie. dies it feel like flimsy elastic?

God I'm so tempted to get both....

I like the Stella and Dot bracelet. The other one is a bit meh.

bleedingheart · 09/08/2012 21:24

I think the MV is likely to have more lasting appeal and looks good with other bracelets. The other one is nice but looks a lot like a lot of costume jewellery around at the moment.

ComeonComeon · 09/08/2012 22:04

The slidey thing keeps firm and slim wrists should be fine IMO. I think it's classic, it's just a very slim silver bangle with a subtly cool tie bit.

You've made me look at the website now and now I want a mini Luna in silver and labradorite and another Fiji in hot pink.

Comeon ooh, that is pretty. Did you see the regular silver Luna bracelet is £57 reduced from £115....

I think I'm leaning more towards the Fiji bracelet....but which colour?! Def silver for the metal but as for the ties...

Also thinking I might get the toggle engraved with the heart...

Fergus no, where, I can'tfind it on site?? Arghh!

Liveinthepresent · 09/08/2012 23:39

Ooh interesting - I have both ! Fiji in hot pink - gold vermeil .

And have 'gold' renegade with Devi bangles and prosper bracelet.

All gifts from lovely friends (spoilt)

Think MV is a bit more classic but have worn S&D much more this year - so you may well need both as serve different purposes!!

I also have small wrists - all fit well apart from bangles.

Now at high risk of wanting more having been on both websites!

I saw a stall of s and dot and thought it all looked quite cheap. The other bracelet is nicer IMO

Comeon here you go! Found it by searching on 'Luna'. Seems to be hidden otherwise....

WonaLotteofMedals · 10/08/2012 11:47

I have a navy and silver one that I love and a nude and silver one too. They are lovely and fit my small wrists fine. The slidey bit is firm as others have said.

TenaPenny · 10/08/2012 13:33

ha! only just saw this. i have the S and D one and LOVE it

TenaPenny · 10/08/2012 13:34

agree the MV one is rather predictable

kennardpw · 28/03/2013 14:06

My husband got me a bracelet and earings from letita.com. I enjoy them very much:)

Thomas12345 · 08/02/2017 22:28

I am returning two of MV Fiji friendship bracelets for the 2nd time, due to their loose fitting (the toggle keeps coming loose every 30 minutes and the strings broke after wearing them for 2 months). I am not convinced that MV bracelets are worth the price you pay.

TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge · 09/02/2017 07:36

Overpriced but go for the MV. S&D really is just cheap tat
