Hello,
I have a question. I have a love bracelet but hardly use it since I don’t seem to get used to it which is a shame because I love it and wanted more. I chose the measure in store and according to all recommendations. I get the indentations from the screws depending where it rests, that’s fine. However, the sharp edge of the bracelet hurts my skin, probably because i’m thin and bony. Does that happen to you? Did you get use to it and i should try to just get used? I feel my skin irritated and quite rosy most of the day (not at night since it tends to sit lower by my hand). I attach pictures even if it doesn’t look “so red” with the current light. Curious to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

It’s perfectly normal- happens with my watches too. I attached a pic of the indentations on my arm. It took me a few weeks to get used to it but now I don’t even notice it. I would try to wear it for a few weeks and see. It’s important to love it and feel comfortable but i would just give it a chance to get used to it, and then decide. Hope that helps.

Went on my lunch break. The SA was very nice. Quite surprised when I showed her how the bracelet leaves marks on me… ended up trying one size bigger (17) it was huge. Tried 15, it fits but not much movement allowed so it turns out my size is 16. The good news is that my bracelet is right. The not so good is that it really bothers me to wear it. She said maybe my skin get irritated by rhodium and is then more sensitive… not sure, don’t have any bubles or pimples like you usually do with an allergic reaction. Will persevere on wearing my bracelet. And if it works, will add an Ecrou and JUC in size 15. Also asked them to check if there is a rainbow in RG available somewhere in my size. Keeping fingers crossed

Current indentation situation on my wrist, but honestly I don't notice my bracelets at all. I tried swapping the trinity to the other wrist recently though to wear with my watch as I bought an Hermes mini Kelly double tour to wear with the Love and the trinity on the other wrist drives me a bit nuts at night so I do understand :smile:
Oh and sorry about my very dry hand :blush:

I think the indentations are perfectly normal and after wearing your bracelet for a while you won't even notice the feel of it. Maybe just persevere? The size looks perfect in your earlier post. Regarding the SA's comment on the rhodium, the bracelet you pictured on the previous page (which I'm assuming is yours) doesn't appear to have diamonds so I very much doubt it's rhodium plated unless you specifically asked for it to be done. Unless it does have diamonds and I'm just being blind :lol: .

Thanks, I’ll persevere. And no, you are not blind. No diamonds. Didn’t know about that and apparently neither did she

Is this rodium plated?

No. Although it used to be. It's an older bracelet that had been rhodium plated when I purchased it. Presumably to make it look new and shiny. The rhodium started to wear off in places and I preferred the colour of the white gold Love cuff that I owned (and hadn't been rhodium plated) so I had the remaining rhodium removed. I probably lost a little gold in the process but not so I noticed and much prefer it without the rhodium. Love Cartier white gold partly because it's not rhodium plated and won't change colour (unlike any other white gold I've owned) also I just prefer the less bright whiteness of it.

I agree- so many people don’t like the “steel” look of Cartier white gold but I actually think it looks edgy and cool. Attached a pic with my new diamond bangles for a bit of sparkle in between all the gold.

Query about loosening screws ('older version') on standard love bracelet.

Hello everyone

The screws on my YG love are loosening daily since I started wearing my standard WG ('new screws' that don't need tightening) with it a week ago. When I purchased the WG, I removed the YG for cleaning.

Will loosening improve over time?

Or should I go back to store to purchase new system screws for my YG?

Many thanks XXX

I'd suggest you use Loctite. Completely solves the problem.

I had my screws enhanced at the store and no issues since then.
