30th bday gift - cartier love bracelet or diamond studs?

[secw1977]

Happy Birthday! I would choose classic diamond studs. Fab decision to have to make though. Enjoy x

I would go for the love!

both are great choices but the Love is my pick both are classics, and I think it's a tough call and the real question is, what should you pick first!? the second choice you'll have to pick up at a later occasion

Save the bracelet to commemorate the birth of a child.
That's true love

Love this response( no pun intended! )
I vote for the studs. 1.5 to 2. 0 classic!

The studs,'in part bec people are having issues with the love and it's screw system and Cartier has no fix yet. Not worth having it fall off.

Thanks for the bday wishes!!

I would choose the studs 100%! I think they are a classic staple. The Love is sweet, but not a staple item IMO.
Diamond prices continue to increase, so the Love increase argument is null ☺️

Happy Birthday!! 🎉
Don't forget to come back to share modeling photos 😉

Thank you!

I had no idea about the issues with the new screw system! Can you tell me more about it? Has anyone else also had issues with their bracelet?

Depends how big the studs are - if they will cost around the same as the love, get them first. Otherwise, get the love first, the price increases are insane.

They'll cost around the same as the bracelet... So depending on the quality and cut, around 1-1.5 tctw I think!

Diamond studs without a doubt. No contest.

This is a recent example: http://forum.purseblog.com/the-jewelry-box/my-new-cartier-love-fell-off-my-wrist-839493.html

I'm not sure where you are located, but for the amount you would spend on the Love, you can get significantly more TCW if you are open to working with online diamond vendors such as Brian Gavin / Whiteflash / High Performance Diamonds. If bigger diamonds are what you want, of course

I agree. Personally I do not care for the love bracelet. You will never get tired of diamond studs even if you live to be 100 years old.

Thanks so much for the suggestions on places. We'd only briefly glanced at bluenile online but hadn't don't much research yet. Have you used them before?

 

[leeney84]

Thanks is much ladies for your thoughtful advice and comments! I really appreciate it and so did DH I decided to go with the diamond studs and save the love bracelet for the future! Hopefully prices will not go too crazy in the meantime! I'll post up a photo when I get them from DH

(In case you were interested, the tally was 19 votes for the studs vs 16 for the love bracelet! Quite evenly split!)
