No glue yet. Would at least wait a few months, better a year. Then ask for changing the system if they get lose regularly.

It's like putting on braces before the teeth go warped. Ha something like that.
I prefer to go au naturel first. Not all love wearers experience loose screws.

Perfect - that is great to know.

The thought of putting glue on a brand new bracelet was something I wasn't 100% on board with. I will leave my bracelet alone once I get it (counting down the days haha) and hope none of the screws come loose.

Thank you!

Newbie to the forum, but long time, agonizing in silence, long time lurker-

I'm a guy, and I purchased a white gold love bracelet after a TON of back and forth on 09/04. it was an early birthday present for myself. I love it a lot. MY SA gave me zero advice on maintenance or anything. I've worn it nonstop 24/7 since I got it.

The screws have not budged at all! No clicking or anything. I was mentally prepared for loosening since I've read so many horror stories online about loose screws.

I love the look and I'm wondering if maybe I should add a WG JUC, but I'm not sure I could pull it off, or if it will look to garish on me since I'm a very low key kind of guy.

Congratulations on the WG Love.. I would not add a JUC - imo such a stack would look really odd on a "low key" manly man. Maybe it's a good fit for some very fashion forward, metrosexual or gay young guy who dresses in a feminine way.

Hello!
I just purchased my first YG love bracelet. The SA advised me to turn the screws once a week for 2 months and also to use something like a sweatband over the bracelet to avoid scratches if I'm cleaning or moving my hand a lot. She also suggested to avoid wearing it to the beach because sand can easily scratch it.
I had 2 questions...
1) did your SAs give you any other advice to help take care of your bracelet?
2) I've noticed I can tighten the screws every 2-3 days (just very slightly) and I can sometimes hear a clicking noise every 2-3 days. Is this normal?

Thank you!

I didn't get any advice from my SA but I did find a post about using the Connoisseurs jewelry wipes to clear away marks. I thought my bracelet was getting scratched really quickly but it turned out to be other marks. After 7 months, there are some small scratches from wear but not nearly as bad as I thought it was.

Sharing the LOVE my hubby and I feel when wearing our new rings from the Cartier boutique that we visited a month ago.
We LOVE how Cartiers white gold is … so shiny!

My WG Love bracelet in size 20! As mentioned before, the screws are locked tight! No budging! I still check them here and there but one month+ in and still nothing. Sorry there is no cool stack like everyone else’s, but on my other wrist I have a two tone santos. Also my pardon my slightly grubby desk calendar! xD

Nice! I was bouncing between size 20 and 21, but in the end the 21 felt too much like a bangle for me. The 20 fits a few fingers and doesn't conga dance up and down my arm and fits just right. I'm glad I went with the 20 in the end.

Yup. Exactly same here. I initially wanted a 21 but then when I went to try it on, it felt like a bangle. I knew it would have driven me crazy. A 20 is fitted, but comfortable.

I have heard the Love Bracelet is a bit annoying to travel with. I'm flying for the first time since I got my bracelet last month. Do I really need to bring my screwdriver?
Click to expand...

I try and remember to bring my screwdriver when I travel just in case my screws get loose.
As far as going through airport security ~ I found it to be hit or miss. Some airports I went right through with no issues and others I had to step to the side and they used the wand. Most TSA agents knew it was my bracelet that set it off once I showed my wrist and it was a quick process. It's not really an issue at all and I've never had anyone ask me to take it off.
I should add~ I haven't flown in 2 years so maybe things have changed.

I have never had any issues flying with my 3 Loves. I recently took a trip within the US mid-August without any issues. I always carry my screwdriver in my handbag just in case. I never travel without it.

It's not a pain, there's no issues :smile:

Yes and no. There *is* an issue as you will be patted down and the security people are not always happy. On the other hand they mostly know about them.

Bringing a screwdriver is not the best idea as it can get confiscated. I had the idea - and probably mentioned it here already - to take a penny or the like and narrow it down by filing it so you can use it as a screwdriver if really needed. A bit tricky but works. However, never had to use it.

Overall, expect some minor issues but all fine if you are prepared for.

I’ve never had trouble.
Anytime anything on me has triggered the sensor they wave the wand until it triggers again and they send me on. It’s never been my jewelry, not my watch, ring, etc…
