Love the matte bracelet more than I thought I would.
Hi... I'm old..and I've been in the fine jewelry business a really long time. I kind of would lean towards caution on this finish.. I can't imagine it will wear better than fine polish.. I think initially it will show patina less, but in the long run, a lot of it will wear off to show regular patina.
Thank you for perspective. This is what I worry about. The regular love looks great with patina. Not sure how the matte version would look. Guess I’ll wait a while longer.
Update- I had the bracelet engraved and it came back fully polished. I was offered a brand new bracelet (which I accepted), and we’re attempting engraving again, but with a note to not polish. Not sure if anyone else has thought about engraving the new bracelet, so I thought I would update everyone.

Wow! That blows my mind that they would polish a brand new brushed Love bracelet. It is helpful to see the after polishing photo on the brushed though.
Yes, I was shocked. The invoice noted a ‘refinishing, $0.00’ which is a chargeable service. My SA was horrified.
I love the brand, but their standards have ... in some, not all ways, gone to hell. That is just wild. Profoundly stupid.
Agreed. I barely wore the bracelet before sending it in for engraving so that it was *clearly new* and the serial would be easy to look up. It has been two months since the brushed version was released... how clumsy do the engravers think I am that it would require a refinishing!?
So
so are they replacing it for you?Agreed. I barely wore the bracelet before sending it in for engraving so that it was *clearly new* and the serial would be easy to look up.
