The bracelet edges are no longed squared off after too many polishings. I thought it was after 2 or more, I wonder if it's how heavy handed the metalsmith (or whatever they are!) is?
I've personally seen a Love after a single polish which was noticeable but nothing compared to the one here. I wonder why they just can't foil / polish the bracelets to remain its original shape???

Oh my gosh, you're right! Does that happen when you get your bracelet polished/ Serviced??

This love is around 15 years old and it looked quite rounded like that that even before it went in:giggle: my mother is extremely heavy handed and renovated her house, garden, etc without caring how scratched up her jewellery gets, so they probably had to polish quite deeply, resulting in more rounding. You should see her Love ring :facepalm: that is even worse and looks like it’s been through a cheese grater lol.
 
So beautiful! Can you share how much this cost? I currently have 2 loves STUCK on my wrist :smile: One 4 diamond and 1 classic, both in yellow gold.

The price for two new screws, rhodium plating and polishing/reshaping was £439. For my yellow gold Love for the same services minus the rhodium plating was £310. My love was stuck on my wrist for a year! I made the screws blunt and couldn’t get the screwdriver to take the screw, so I scored along the screw lines with a knife and it finally worked. :wtf:

Is your mums bracelet the old screw system? I’m going to go slightly against the grain here and say I kind of like how the bracelet looks when it’s a bit rounded and softened down. I like it equally new but I do like the roundness too. I just think they all look lovely!

It is the old one yes. Mine is too! I really don't mind the rounded edges at all. Here is mine back from repair:

Your mother is my role model! I want to wear and enjoy my jewelry, not preserve it in pristine condition. Would love to see a pic of the "cheese grated" ring sometime if you and your mother are willing to share one!
