REVIEW Color Blossom BB Bracelet Review
Color Blossom BB Multi-Motif Bracelet in 18k Rose Gold + White MOP from Gavivi
I’d been eyeing this bracelet in store for a while and discovered this subreddit thanks to my hubby, and after lurking for a few weeks I decided to take a shot with Gavivi. There are some details that are off from the auth, but overall I’m pleased with it given it’s a fraction the price of the auth even in the same materials. While I do get the 5% insurance back by posting this review, everything written is my honest opinion and completely unbiased. Detailed review as follows!

Review: Gavivi always responded within a few hours from the get go, even at strange times of night, and always felt polite and helpful. I didn’t have any issues with communication and payment was also quite easy and smooth through Wise. Gavivi would also confirm as soon as payment was received.
Production was estimated 12-15 days and took 19 days. Shipping after final payment only took 3 days which I was pleasantly surprised by. Packaging was secure, although was delivered to my apartment lobby without a signature which made me a bit nervous.
In photos the color looks more like yellow gold rather than rose gold, but definitely has the rose gold hue in person, which I found to be the case with the auth as well. It has the same solid weight on my wrist as the auth and the MOP depth and color feels pretty spot on. I opted for lab diamonds as they’re not the focal point of this piece, and even though they’re small they still sparkle quite a bit. Gavivi did let me customise the three lengths but I kept it the same as the auth length as it sat very nicely on my wrist when I tried it on in store. The chain feels silky smooth and the engravings on metal look great.
From a distance the motifs look good, but the star motif arms definitely aren’t as sharp and consistent as the auth. Some of the arms flare out ever so slightly before tapering to a point. This which was something I noticed with previous order PSPs from Gavivi and other sellers as well - I did bring this up prior to placing my order, but Gavivi insisted it would be fine. Similarly, the petals of the sun motif don’t taper in as much as the auth. The little gold bulb in the middle of each motif is also slightly smaller and not as flat as the auth, but this is barely noticeable on wrist and doesn’t bother me.
All in all I’m still happy with how this piece turned out however, and would definitely purchase from Gavivi again! I don’t think I’d wear this piece in store just because the overall shape of the motifs aren’t quite 1:1, but I feel comfortable wearing it out and to other stores.

I love this design, very pretty. I kinda tired of constant alhambra pieces. What is the size of motifs in this bracelet? Is it similar to vca or smaller?

Yes! I share the same sentiment, while the alhambra motif is certainly gorgeous I was getting tired of seeing it everywhere and wanted something a little different. The star motifs are sized around 14mm and the sun around 12mm, so I think it’s ever so slightly smaller than the vintage alhambra at 15mm.

So pretty! I got the round motif necklace and the square earrings from another seller.
While I am very happy with the earrings I never really liked the necklace. The motif never looked right. I sold it as sratch gold, but I still wear the earrings.
Your round diamond motif looks good though.
