I'm a Cartier lover but definitely not a fan of this collection.

Ditto for me... I even find the WG LOVE a bit "industrial" looking but for me this is a bit too edgy. I'm not sure I "get" it... someone said it was too "literal" and I think that kind of hits the "nail" on the head so to speak for me! ;) I can TOTALLY see rocking it with jeans if you had that kind of edge to you, but I'm pretty girlie through and through. I'm not a fan of anything too tough... (or skull jewelry either)... I own the YG LOVE and that's kind of as edgy/ungirlie as I'd go... but it does look luxe and I'm sure IRL anything Cartier just looks/feels gorgeous! I love that everyone has different taste so am glad some people love it and some don't!

I went into Cartier today. My store was supposed to order me in a peice to see. They can not, it needs to be bought and then sent in.
My sa said it was not for me. She knows me and my style as I am there a lot. LOL. She said it was too edgy and hard and I am very girly and feminine. So I am looking into a diamond love.

Now the sales manager said it was very me, as I am a bold in your face person. But it would not look so good with my VCA. My love complements my VCA perfectly.

Ok, those were my sa's take on the bracelet for me.
I personally LIKE the collection. I would get it AFTER building a classic collection. It looks great with the love and is a bold statement piece. I like the diamond pieces, they add some softness to the edgy look. But I would get it after all my other options are exausted and I don't feel the rush to get it now. I was excited, but it hasn't stayed with me. So I guess I don't love it and it doesn't sing to me like the LOVE collection.

It looks great on Lana. She keeps it simple. It looks great on her because it blends cohesively with her love , watch and ring.
I think that is what is important, how well will it work within your collection. If you are starting out on discovering your personal style. I honestly would skip it for now and see what you really love and what works for you. Don't buy something because it is new or even a classic. YOU have to love it and it should represent your own look.
If it does, then start with that and go from there. GL!
Yes, I wrote a novel. :)

I am completely in love with my bracelet. I have always wanted something to go with my Love, but didn't really like the look of two Loves together on me. I think the Juste is subtle, edgy, but still classic Cartier. I think it looks cool with a pair of jeans and elegant with a dress on. I agree it doesn't have the mass appeal of the Love, and that appeals to me too.

I think it's important to buy what is classic for YOU. When I bought my YG wedding set, it was SO out of style, but I held firm because I knew it was what suited me best. I won't say that I'm not happy to see YG back in style though!

I'm completely obsessed each time I see your avatar! Not sure if it will be comfortable to wear. I'm afraid the 'screw' head will keep rolling to the bottom of the wrist. Does that happen often to you? I wear a size 17 for love, but I will definitely not wear it with the love bracelet if I buy the juste un clou bracelet. Still very much hesitately if I should get the bracelet or the ring instead. Does anyone know if the prices have gone up now?

Yeah I'm holding off on it till I can judge better if the ring is going to be classic enough to wear for the next 20 years. I loooove your bangle, but the way you did your jewelry with your watch and everything else is that it's so classic that the clou works so nicely with your collection. It was something you got after you built a classic collection, whereas I can't judge yet on if this will weather the next 20 years of my life. if it turns out this will be a classic then I will run to the closest cartier store

I love all our different tastes too!

I agree that I think I'm more comfortable with it because my other pieces are on the classic side. I wouldn't say I'm a girly girl. I would put my style icons more in the Gwen Stefani, Angelina, Rachel Zoe types. I think VCA is gorgeous on others, but too delicate and precious for me.

I liked your novel! :smile1:

I think it's great that your SA gave you her honest opinion. You will find the right piece in the end.

I think either would be great. I wouldn't worry about comfort though. I didn't feel any adjustment period with the Clou like I did with the Love, although that might have been because I was already used to wearing a bracelet 24x7? Also, I can rotate my Love all the way around, but I absolutely cannot rotate the Clou. My Clou is a 16, which the SA said is the equivalent of a Love in 17 (which is the size I have).

The juste en clou is definitely not for everyone. That's exactly why I love it. I have the opposite combo of Lana, RG love, YG clou, and, yellow gold ballon bleu and small trinity ring.

I waited for and anticipated its re-release for months. When I called my sa (Madison boutique, NYC) she told me all I needed to know; heavy weight, doesn't roll, goes wonderfully with the love. She also said it's extremely limited, only handfuls were sent to the States, and once that supply was exhausted, a wait list would apply to any that came back to stock in July. When I received it, it was all she said and more for me. I love the bangles together, and that they are not the same. More than one love never appealed to me, and I would usually stack it with a watch, or my Jeanine Payer gold Palmer cuff.

It was originally retired as it was a limited collaboration with the designer. Edgy yes, but still classic Cartier, and maybe just an east coast/NYC appeal as it's recognized by those who truly know, and not a stand out labeled piece.

Hi ladies? Does anyone have any modeling pics of the Cartier Roadster watch? I have been lusting after this watch for a while - just something a bit different to my Panthere. Would live to see pics, especially if your tall with average size wrists.

Wow! You really do have a similar but different collection from me! How fun.

I got the same information, that it was almost sold out already (second day after release), and there would be no stock until July. I agree that it is heavyweight, and does not roll at all. I also love how it tends to fall several inches away from my Love, they aren't banging into each other.

I'd love to see a picture of your collection, it sounds very beautiful.

Do you ladies think it would be horrible to purchase a non cartier version of this in sterling silver? I do love the cartier but Im afraid I wont get much use out of it after a while and it's quite expensive! For a few hundred dollars, I wouldnt feel as bad not wearing it as often. Would that be uber tacky of me? :blushing:

sometimes I do this, if i'm buying something expensive I buy an "inspired" first to see how much wear I get out of it. for example I bought a CZ tennis bracelet and wore it for 2 years before I decided to invest in a real diamond one!!

if you like it you can then buy the real deal;)
