I love it, it's one of the coolest rings/bracelets I've ever seen. It's definitely a conversation starter. I think it looks gorgeous paired with a love also like lanasyogamama did, especially the way she did it with the two different colored metals. I like the look of the two metals together and how one bracelet is sleek and the other is edgy. I agree that those two bracelets compliment one another even better than two loves in different metals.

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.

Thanks Lana's mom. Each day I wear them, I fall more in love with how well they compliment each other.

When I received my first love bracelet (yg) it was for my first mother's day. Being a sz 17, and then 14 years later, well worn, and a little tight, it just wasn't comfortable any more. I passed it to my DD, who actually doesn't like to wear it because of airport security (we travel extensively). Of course, I couldn't fathom not wanting to wear it....at her age, I would have killed or died for the chance!

Two years ago, I received the new love (rg) on the same premise (mother's day). This year, also our (20th) the juste was intended, as my husband says, to point out that, while I am "sharp witted, and can be "hard headed" at times, I am truly what holds us and our family together.

I am not a "picture poster" on personal policy, I also couldn't do justice to your avatar or the wonderful pics you posted in another clou thread. Just cut and paste, yg for the watch (same size!), yg for the clou, and rg for the love!! ;)

I love your story! No worries on the pic!

Have you traveled with the Clou yet? Someone said they heard that it may have to be packed in the luggage, that it was considered a weapon??? If this is true, I'd probably just leave it at home.

Eh - not a fan of the clou collection. The LOVE collection is much more timeless in my opinion. Such a personal thing though, and if someone loves it, I say go for it!

I just got mine when we came back from our spring break. Our trips for the summer are not until my kids leave for summer camp.

I did ask my SA if she heard anything about it being a "TSA concern". She thought I was nuts!

My thought is that if someone can bring knitting needles on a plane....so I do plan to bring it along. Like my love, which slides off, I will keep it in my carry-on/purse until I clear security.

BTW, in looking again at your avatar, it's interesting that the color difference between my RG love and the YG clou isn't as stark as with your combo. Then again I always thought Cartier's RG was a little more yellow than most rose golds. Just thought I'd mention it for anyone else considering putting them together, which I highly recommend!!! ;)

Thanks for the info!

Yes, the lighting in that pic definitely emphasizes the color difference. Other times, like when I'm outside, you can hardly tell they are different colors.

I love all our different tastes too!
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).

Thanks for the advice. Maybe I shall go and have a look.

I just wish they priced it a little cheaper... I'm surprised the bracelet is more expensive then the love, even if there's more gold.. I wanted to go this week and try the ring in yellow gold! I'll see if i can take some sneak pics for you guys

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. :)

Novel or not this was great advice, thank you!
