I've no experience on returning, but exchange, so long it's new like how it walked out of store.
I read on my local website that return is not allowed if purchased physically at store. However if made online, yes return is ok (and meeting their t&c). Not sure if the same policy applies to where you are.
Curious to know why youre thinking of returning n not exchanging?
I am a bit ocd and love statement jewelry so I would go for two regular Loves. If you want more variation you could also look at different materials. To me a regular and small just looks like it's missing another regular to balance it out.
We are a bit in the minority boat it seems, but I agree wholeheartedly.
From personal experience, I had the small and classic and just did not like the look together.
To me, the classic made the small look so insignificant in width and perhaps because I like symmetry, I had to eventually balance it all out with another classic!
To the OP, I would get two classics. Another thing is the small tends to “jump” underneath the classics if it’s just at the right angle. It’s happened to me several times. I’m not a fan of it happening as I try to move it back to its original spot!
I will say, I hate symmetry lol Maybe that's why I like the thin paired with regulars better. I have a thin with diamonds and I'd like a regular next then one more of either to make 3, but not 3 of the same. Or a Clash or JuC to add.
I know that if you stack any other bracelets with your Love, it’s destined for scratches, but which materials/ bracelets are the worst offenders? Do loose bracelets scratch the most? Or maybe diamond bracelets? Are textured bracelets like Clash and Ecrou the worst?
That's a good question as I'm new to this game therefore good to know. My Love bracelet suffered a terrible scratch (though I believe can be polished away with a polishing cloth) yesterday when I stacked with my watch. I think so long the Love can slide under a watch/bracelet, the friction is bound to happen.
However scratches can also obviously happen on the sides when layered.
Good to hear what the rest says.
Any bracelet that looks smooth will show scratches the most (LOVE bracelet will be the worst, regardless of whether it has the motif or diamonds) The JUC has a rounded edge so its harder in general to scratch it, and when it does, its difficult to see because the light reflects off the rounded edge. The Ecrou and Clash are textured, so I imagine they're more likely to hide scratches much better than a smooth bracelet will, as they already don't look as smooth. The Love is definitely destined to become more dull and scratched over time. Any white gold/rhodium plated piece will look very shiny for longer due to the plating, but it will wear away and then patina as regular white gold, which goes very dull and grey looking.
Sorry, I guess my question wasn’t very clear. Which materials or bracelets will scratch my Love the most?
Ohhhh - sorry! Any looser bracelet that would cross over it or a bracelet that has shaped bits like the Ecrou or JUC like you said. My JUC would scratch my Love lightly if it hit it hard enough. I would also imagine diamond tennis bracelets could scratch the edges of your Love depending on the settings used.
Ok, so it sounds like one bracelet or material isn’t worse than the other. It’s just a matter of where it’ll scratch my Love (edge or over the top where another bracelet crosses over)
I suppose so
if you stack two loves of the same size, you should be fine as they don't really scratch each other. They can bang on each other and loosen the screws though.Hi, I just got my first love bracelet 3 months ago, and I’m also thinking it’s too big. Wanted to see if you were able to resell yours, and if your happy you did. If you did resell, any suggestions for me. I’m glad I’m not the only one in this situation, I’m a bit bummed too, I keep wearing it hoping I’ll get use to it too.
Ebay you can get the most of out of it i think. I'm still kind of thinking about 17 as well. x
