I wear mine everyday; I am very lazy when it comes to changing my jewelry (e.g. I am in my mid-20s and I've been wearing the same necklace that my parents gifted me at my high school graduation).
If there is a reputable place where you can buy pre-loved, I would say go for it. I've read posts from other TPFers who have tried to buy from ebay but that there are a lot of fakes and it's not worth the headache. On the other hand, if you know of a trusted jeweler who sells it, I say why not?
I wear my Love bracelet everyday. I wear a rose one in the fall and winter and I switch to 1 size larger in white gold for the spring summer.
As for new or pre-owned, there are so many fakes that sometimes dealers aren't always sure. IMHO its easier to buy a new one, have all the paperwork and the assurance that its the real deal. I've read about 2 many people getting burned with fakes...but I suppose it depends on how risk averse you are.

I have been wearing it everyday. I check it every day to make sure it is still screwed tight, and so far it has not loosened at all. Just to be safe.
There is a great picture above your post of two sizes to give an idea of difference. I would say it is a personal preference on how you like the fit. My 18 is more loose, but I do not like a tight fit. If you like a more fitted tight feel than I would do a 17. For me the 18 is comfortable and I like having a little movement.
Look forward to seeing your bracelet when you decide.
Wow! I love this look! Thank you for sharing. Although now I want a JUC, yikes. Do you like the tighter fit of JUC compared to the Love?
Well , they recommend when you buy the JUC to get it one size smaller than your Love bracelet. I don't find my bracelet's a tighter fit. I would say I have about a 2 1/2 inch span of where I can move them both very freely. For me that is perfect because when I am doing paperwork I don't like them hitting my desk etc. mind you I can put the sweatband over them.
Thanks for responding-- I keep going back and forth, I do like the simplicity of my one bangle, it's such a beautiful hue, but I've always thought down the road of adding another but now I'm wondering if I should do a cuff since it's also from me... Just can't decide if I like the one bangle or two look on me!
Have you been to the store to look at a second love- just wondering if the store would let you try on an actual bracelet with your current love? In theory, I really want a second love but I have no idea if 2 would look good on me.
The few times I've seen someone with two I think it looks so luxe! Cuff seems like a great option too! Good luck!
If stacking a love bracelet and cuff would you get the same size? My mother has a 17 bracelet and wants a cuff but is not able to go to the shop to try it so ordering from their website. She tried a second bracelet a while back and the SA said to get the same size in the bracelet rather than 1 size up but how does it work when stacking a bracelet + cuff?
