Personally I would get the white gold without diamonds and spend the remaining 4k on a tennis bracelet. You will definately get more sparkle for your buck.

I agree with this. $4k for less than half a carat of diamonds is a waste. I'd much prefer to put that towards a tennis bracelet.

And WG always fades a bit over time and has to get replated with rhodium. This is a common and expected part of good maintenance of that metal. It's easy and inexpensive. I look at it as I do with getting the prongs inspected / tightened on my rings or getting items polished. Jewelry requires upkeep and the replaying is a basic step.

So I vote WG! It will be a lovely add and you'all have one of each.

If asked about yellow or rose gold, I'd say definitely diamonds! However, AFAIK Cartier rhodium plates their WG with diamonds, whereas their plain WG isn't rhodium plated. I don't want to have to worry about the plating wearing off over time (which it inevitably will), ending up with an uneven looking bracelet. Then you'd probably want to have it re-plated, which involves stripping off the existing rhodium plating before a new layer is applied, but you will lose some metal every time this is done.

So my vote is plain WG and if you really want some diamonds with your beautiful stack, spend the money you save on either a diamond tennis bracelet, or a more delicate style like Tiffany's DBTY.

Hello all. I'm sure this has been asked many times in the past. I would like to add to current love stack. Currently I have the RG and YG plain love and usually pair it with my VCA MOP Alhambra bracelet. I love the look of my stack but wanted to add the WG love but I heard the plain WG love tarnishes because it's not rhodium plated. I also heard from a Cartier sales associate that the diamond WG love will eventually tarnish as well Do any of you have either? Can you give me your opinions? Also do you think adding the WG will take away the beauty of my current stack. Please help. View attachment 3553753

Ahhhh. I can't decide. Hubs bought me a 4 diamond wg love. We went back to get credit as it was snug and I don't want wg.
My dilemma is . .. do I get 4 diamond or get both the classic and thin ?

Some more info.. I have a 10 month old at home . I don't want to fuss with taking these on and off so I'm looking to wear everyday . Is the diamond too much for everyday? Will the stack bother me we the clinking? I have a wg mop vca bracelet . Would you wear them together or opposite arm?

I would chose classic and thin as I don’t find the 4 diamonds add anything to the bracelet. I know many would disagree but I like the classic look or the thin fully paved
Also I love the stack classic + thin. I wear it everyday (mine are both RG). I went to Cartier yesterday to check the new thin with 10diamonds in WG and found it doesn’t really add anything to my stack. The full diamond paved in thin is gorgeous though but costs more than a small car !
Please share your decision with us

I got the classic love for Xmas from my hubby. I have been thinking about which one for 2 years and could never make my mind up. We went into Cartier, last weekend, and I had my mind made up that I was going to get the 4diamond love. There are 4 in our family and who doesn't want diamonds? Right? I tried them both on and I liked the classic better. The 4 diamond you had to really look to see/notice the diamonds and I didn't think the price of $4000 more was worth it. If you like the thin get that too. Or, is there anything else that you like? You can always save part of the credit for later. Don't feel rushed and make a rushed decision. I took 2 years to decide, and tried them both on a dozen times over the 2 years, pairing it with the thin love and the JUC with diamonds.

There are sooo many items I love! I just don't know if it would ever get another love again ..id like a 'mini ' stack and this is probably the only my only chance. I think I'll go with one classic and one thin .

Now just have to decide yg or rg. Going in today and I'll try on and hopefully leave with something .

The yellow gold classic Love stacked with the yellow gold thin looks really pretty. A forum member posted a pic some time ago; simple and lovely.

That's what I decided on. I think I changed my mind 5 times there. At first it was yellow classic with white thin then I wanted a combo of yg and rg... then all rg. It was quite the seen . Images are too big to post ?
