Thank you - you will love it! I shopped around for an eternity ring and specifically wanted it in RG and found Cartier to have the best one with the most gorgeous setting.

Here’s the info I have on it listed below. Unfortunately, for some reason when I purchased it 5 years ago, I think the Cartier SA overcharged me several hundred dollars & it had nothing to do with ring size as my finger is quite small (at a certain size, the price increases). I didn’t notice it until much later! Go figure! OMG - I just checked and the price I was charged is over the new price increase put out on October 1st...LOL!

My ring finger can fit a size 4 (size 47), but I don't like tight rings so I want with 4.75 (size 49) - it's quite loose and can easily slide pass my knuckle, but it doesn't fall off even in winter.

Years later, I also contacted Cartier to inquire the differences between the Destinée and the Ètincelle setting and below is what Cartier told me. I have tried on the Ètincelle eternity rings - the setting is very thin.

Width: 3.27 mm, 22 brilliant-cut diamonds, totaling 1.34 carats

Diamond GRADE:
Color: D-H
Clarity: IF - VS2

Thank you so much for sharing! I’d been looking at the etincelle half eternity rings as well, because it makes me really nervous that full eternity rings cannot be resized. But it sounds like the etincelle is not as beautiful as the destinee. I don’t live near a Cartier so I can’t actually try anything on.

I don’t live near one either. At the time when I knew I would be in city near one, I made an appt. in advance and made sure they had 2-3 rings in different sizes that I wanted to try it in.

With Cartier’s ring sizing, I think it’s pretty easy to figure out your ring size because for me, it was going to be either 4.25 (size 48) or 4.75 (size 49) - 4 (size 47) was going to be a tight fit
- 5.25 (size 50) would have fallen of my finger

Good luck!

Thanks!! I already know my ring size - I’m just afraid that I might gain weight as I age. I have a pave love ring I know that can’t be resized, but the destinee will be a whole lot more expensive. It looks gorgeous on you - I might just have to take the risk!

This is lovely. Do you normally stack the loves? I’ve noticed a few other beautiful photos you have posted with just one love. Curious what your daily wear is one or both. I have the same two loves and debating on selling one.

Thank you!

I just added the diamond one recently. On daily basis, I wear one Love stacked with other smaller bracelets but on special outings and nights out I stack the 2 loves/one love with JUC/Love with VCA. It helps that I can slide the Love bracelet off my hand and never need the screw driver :)

The plain Love bracelet is a gift from my mom and is so precious to me and I wore it daily non stop for 5 years.. but I still wanted the diamond love and that’s why splurged on it last month.. I plan to gift the plain one to my daughter and in the meantime will enjoy both as much as possible :heart:

It will be so so special for your daughter! To have come from her grandmother. I’m stuck on what to do. I find two at the same time a bit too much these days. I do also have a JUC and wear it daily so that could be why. When you wear only one is it mostly the diamond one now? My diamond one happens to be my more sentimental one but I love the look of the plain too. Just can’t see myself alternating or taking one on and off hence my dilemma. I also wear small bracelets too. I adore sweets and wear two 24/7. If you had received your four diamond from your Mom would you have ended up with the plain too?
