Nikki, I am also considering the 4 diamond in yellow gold but I like to take off my jewellery and I am wondering how practical a LOVE is for me :thinkin:

I have never been able to stand wearing bracelets 24/7, which is why it took me so many years to finally purchase my LOVE. I have only been wearing it for 3 weeks now, but I have honestly not once, even for a minute, thought that I wanted it off my wrist. It is really like nothing else I have ever worn, so comfortable! I think correct size is key!

I was told by my Cartier SA that I will be a size 16. I would prefer the extra 0.5cm compared to the small perlee (15.5cm) :smile1: Do the portions where the screws go in ever bother you?

I definitely agree that size is key. I don't even notice I am wearing it until I look at it. It's so pretty though. :D

I would prefer the complete bracelet. I have 22K yellow gold bangles but was looking for something more subtle. How do you cope with the scratches on your LOVES?

Yea, most people do as it is the original design. Mine doesn't have many scratches, but it is still shiny. It doesn't bother me though because wearing 24/7, there are bound to be some scratches. :smile1:

To be honest, I intended to stack them and they look great together in pics. However......I don't feel like they lay right. It annoys me to be honest and I have never worn them together beyond the first day I got the cuff. The bangle is definitely bigger and I know the Perlee in small is 14.5 cm. I was looking at that, but they never have one and it is special order.

I just wanted to be really honest, since I really wanted it to work but it just doesn't. I even thought of exchanging the cuff, but I like the way it fits on its own.

Thanks for this info. I have been longing to try the Perlee in small as well but NM told me it's a special order. I doubt so, might just be vendor specific. But I don't have a local boutique to consult on. Does that mean tax-free, LOL?

Anyways, I like the idea of cuff being care-free, you know, no issue with clasp or screws. The thought of losing a bracelet is way too scary. The choices are just too limited and more is more :p

Good luck to your decision. And keep us posted. Between 4 diamond and color-stone, I originally liked the color-stone more, but it only comes in RG and WG now, and the 24/7 thing. I would go for a 4 diamond personally. But I wouldn't saying I will not ever add the color-stone down the road. It will your 4th! :graucho:

Thanks. :D Yea, I was told it was SO too. I am gonna take some time to decide. But I fear I have an addiction. :p ;) Good luck with your decision too, I will keep you guys posted. :D

Thanks for sharing info on VCA. And it seems like we have similar wrist size as well. I am a 16 in LOVE (only have cuff and bangle was a little looser), longing to try a VCA Perlee small.

I am curious about your 22k YG bangles, where do you get those given the market of solid gold bracelets are so limited to tiny wrists? I have looked over some Indian-look designs for kids, but wasn't sure that is what I want. Just curious on your point of view.

Nikki, before you decide on the 4D-LOVE, I think you should try the Perlee Small Signature. I do think it is pretty enough to add some oomph to your existing LOVEs. In this way, you get a different design and don't have to spend extra for the diamonds.

Friends were going to Hajj in Mecca, Saudi Arabia a few years aback and I gave them
a sample bracelet of what fit me perfeclty. They worked with that and I got a perfect fit. I also think that this is a good investment since you pay for weight primarily and design (secondarily) and 22K is a close as you get to pure gold :smile1: They are perfect rounds - not ovals like the LOVE and Perlee.

Good idea, just because I don't want to regret buying so many loves one day. I don't know if I will, but a different design especially one as feminine as the Perlee may be great. And I save money. I need to try on a small though. :D

They look great. May I ask what size your bracelets are, if they are the same size (as each other), are you happy with the size(s) you chose, and if yes, why/ if no, what would you change if you could? Also, what color(s) are they?

Thank you
