DROOL! This makes me so want W/G LOVE to wear with my R/G LOVE and Perlee. How does your W/G LOVE stay looking so nice? I keep reading that they don't age so well. Curious if you mix in any other R/G with your W/G/Plat jewelry or just this one pretty piece? Do you mix Y/G as well? I'm at crossroads trying to decide on how many different metals I want to mix, and what to purchase or get rid of.

Hi DROOL! I sent it to Cartier for polishing last summer.;) I push it up, trying not to wear it around the wrist. As you know WG Love with diamonds are rhodium plated, so it's scratch resistant to some extent.

I normally wear WG pieces (Love, diamond bracelets) on my left arm, and PG pieces (Perlee, JUC), on my right arm. My favorite mix is PGXWG. But, I more attach weight to the design of each piece to mix.:smile1: For example, I sometimes put on Tiffany's YG open clasp bracelet with JUC, but never with Perlee. Perlee Signature and clasp link bracelet don't look nice together.:smile1:

Hi bougainvillier!:D It should not be referred to as an issue, but the clasp of Perlee loosens structurally. You can wear it daily, but if you hit it against something the clasp may loosen gradually. If you hit it strongly it may be strained (see the pic of its backside). It also catches clothes! But, it's more stretch resistant compared to Love and stays shiny! I wear my Love and JUC 24/7, but not my Perlee. I take it off when I come home. (My WG 4-diamond Love is size 17 and Perlee in medium.)

One word "Stunning".

Funny that's the direction I have been taking. I tend to wear mostly W/G, Plat, and SS watch, but reserve my right arm for everything else. I got my R/G clover Perlee a few years back, and since then anything I purchase for that wrist has to work around my Holy Grail piece. I recently purchased my first piece of cartier, the LOVE bracelet, and am hesitant to wear Perlee with it cuz I am so protective of my VCA jewelry. I am thinking of getting the signature bracelet to wear as a buffer between the two. Do you notice any wear on either your LOVe or Perlee from stacking together? I keep whispering to myself " Don't sweat the small stuff...life is too short!", but I am still trying to convince myself.

I don't really notice any wear on either of my Love or Perlee. My Perlee(M) occasionally slides over my Love(17), which means some scratches on the back of my Perlee?? (and my Love also gets scratched a bit.) I am not so super sensitive about small scratches as long as they look beautiful.;)

Not for polishing, I'd better send my Perlee to the boutique to fix the closing system. Because my Perlee is sometimes almost apart on my wrist before I notice it. It has never fallen off because the catching clasp is still working. For this reason, I am a little worried about Perlee's closing system.:smile1:

I must be SO SO SO protective of my new diamond line bracelet, but I wear it everyday with other bracelets.:D Actually, I also considered WG Perlee Pave Diamond, but I went for DTB. When you stack multiple "hard" bracelets, you should be very careful because their closing system may loosen bit by bit without realizing.

I'm sorry to hear that your ring has scratches but it is bound to happen! I for one can feel your pain but I've moved on and accepted it. Although Cartier will not refund or exchange your ring since it worn, but they prob will offer a shinning service which can make it look new or wear down the gold (making it thinner than its original weight and form)! Wear it in good health!
