i'm still debating between the cuff and bangle, i really like the cuff because i can take it off easily unlike the bangle, but the bangle feels more secure doesn't it?
does anyone wear the cuff 24/7? feedback needed.. TIA :smile1:

Do you know what the post increase price will be on the cuff? I tried one on yesterday at the boutique and thought it looked really nice on. It left some red marks on my wrist when the sa removed it, but I think she pulled it off me at a wider point on my wrist so it kind of scraped the skin.

Hi smalls. In Australia it is will be $5650. The cuff is beautiful and have the option of bein taken off. My SA sort of pull it wide and I barely felt it when she remove it off me. It Would also be easier if you're doing it yourself because you'll figure out a way of removing it. If you're in Australia, you can lay by it for 6 months. Good luck and please post photos when, and if yu decide to get it.:p

Can I ask how large your wrist is? I am also debating between a 18 and 19.

THANKS!

My wrist is right at 6.75 inches. An 18 would probably have fit fine, but I hate things that are tight and restrictive feeling. The 19 has plenty of "give" and moves easily up and down my wrist from here

on my chubby little wrist. :smile1:

I hope this helps. Good luck with your selection!

Thanks so much for the info! I am in the US. I agree if I got one it would probably be much easier and less painful to remove it on my own. I loved the rose gold cuff on my skin but have a lot of yellow gold jewelry so am not sure which I am leaning towards more or if I can make it happen. I hope to get one though!

Hey there!
Yes I was one of the unlucky few who lost her bracelet (new style). The problem is the screws don't actually have to come all the way out for the bracelet to fall off, AND it can be mostly one screw that does it. In fact I think if one was really loose and the other was not perfectly tight it could still wiggle off. With the old ones, you could lose one screw completely and the bracelet would still stay on tight as long as the other one didn't ALSO come out completely. With the new ones they are easier to lose b/c they only really have to be loose, not lose a screw.

Hard to explain but yeah.... apparently it's not SUPER common but Cartier did tell me it was a "known issue" with the new ones. I have been wearing an "old" one for 3 years or so and it NEVER comes loose - my new lost one was only a few weeks old!!

My rainbow bracelet was nearly lost the first week I wore it. DH & I were attending a Tiffany event, to watch the great gatsby movie premier . That evening I wore 2 love bracelets, and thank God DH noticed that the rainbow 's screw had come loose. Am so grateful that DH was alert & helped avert a tragedy ! I'm paranoid about losing them so tighten them weekly.

They both feel very secure. It takes an arm and a leg to get your hand to fit in the cuff, once it fits, bam it's stuck. The opening is not that large, like there is NO way it will fall off. If anything, the bangle will fall from the screw getting loose faster than the cuff will fall off. The cuff cannot simply slip off, it's not possible, since it takes arm work to get the cuff on. I have the bracelet, but here are some pros and cons if you would like:

Bracelet-
Pro: 1) Original style/meaning 2) May be 'cuter' to some.
Con: 1) Always stuck on you 2) You have to tighten it every once in a while and keep your eye on it to make sure the screws aren't loose 3) More expensive than the cuff 4) Gold can get damaged from chlorine shower water (unless you have a filtered shower head like me) 5) If you have a very tiny wrist the cuff fits tighter and nicer than the smallest size in the bracelet.
Cuff-
Pro: 1) Cheaper than the bracelet 2) You can remove it whenever you please (especially when sleeping or showering) 3) If you tan, like me, you don't have to worry about unscrewing it off every other week to tan 4) If you have a very tiny wrist the cuff fits tighter and nicer than the smallest size in the bracelet 5) It won't get damaged by shower water overtime due to chlorine (unless you have a filtered shower head).
Con: 1) It is not the original style/meaning

I purchased mine a week ago, and thought about it for months, and did massive research. I had my SA get both the cuff and bracelet for my visit. I evaluated it very carefully and went with the bracelet. If you need any more information, please let me know, I am more than willing to give my input. This forum was SO HELPFUL when deciding what to get and what to do. However, I still felt like it was missing some things I wanted to know about; so please let me know. I did so much research and saw both in person, I may be of some potential help.
