When I read about what happens these days in Tulum I wonder if you should leave everything at home? :confused1:
Goodness what’s been happening in Tulum? I went for my 40th birthday a couple of years ago and would love to go back.
And related to the original question - I wear mine in salt water too. I have only ever taken it off for a surgery.
 
Just read some recent reports and I would not want to go there nowadays. For myself leaving soon for Cape Town and will take off everything I can (but the 4 reg Loves). Mexico and Africa are - I believe - not places where you should wear jewelry on the street. In contrast I feel so safe in Japan, Europe and the US - at least parts of.
 
I noticed that most people in this thread pair other jewelry with the Love, especially the WG version. Does a single WG Love work as a standalone piece for a guy? I am trying to decide between it and the WG rhodium Ecrou.
 
Absolutely! I love the look of a love bracelet on a guy. Sadly, my hubs is not a fan. Have you tried them on?

I have! I really liked both options. I was leaning toward the WG Ecrou because the fit on my wrist is a bit better, it‘s considerably more obscure, and it is easily removable. As a guy who hasn’t worn jewelry other than a watch and wedding ring, the Love seemed, well, permanent.

But my wife suggests that the moveable bolts on the Ecrou would drive me crazy after a while, and she knows me very well. So, I’ve been doing a lot of reading posts on this forum, and it’s hard not to find the enthusiasm for the Love a bit contagious! I’m going to try them on again on Saturday and then decide, but it’s good to hear that it works as a standalone.

In my circle of friends, I have one close guy friend whom has been wearing the single WG love for at least 15 years. It looks perfect on him. His is non Rhodium finish (either way I think it looks fine).

I think Ercou looks more fanciful in my opinion so depends what you're looking for, in long term, not discounting comfort like you may be wary of.
Let us know what you decided!

I used to wear my Love stacked with a bunch of other bracelets but lately I’ve been wearing it on its own so as not to distract from its simplicity and beauty. I love looking down and admiring it on its own. I think a single Love looks fab on guys!

I have heard that some people use the purple Loctite (a glue) to keep the bolts in place. Or you could use your bracelet as a fidget toy ;) I find myself fidgeting/playing with any jewelry I wear that moves.
You didn’t mention it, but have you thought about the JUC, since it is removable? It comes in white gold.
