^^thx greentea, I'll get to try one on later this month in FL.

peppers90 -

Stopped off at the Mall of Millenia in Orlando today, the Cartier there only had 1 RG in stock, think it was a size 18. I hope you have better luck than I did! The SA was friendly and said she could order my size. I'm visiting the area so I'm waiting until I'm near another Cartier.
 
Lharding~ I am going to be in Miami later this month. They told me to call a week in advance to order the RG. I have yet to try one on. We'll see how it goes!

dialv I am going to try RG and see how it goes with my ss watch. I would like to wear them both on my L wrist together. If RG doesn't work, I will try WG.
 
I wish I could go try them on but I am about 22hrs away from the boutique, I live in Canada. I think I will get the yg first since my wedding set is yg. Also I am planning on buying my first VCA bracelet in February in yg so that made me lean towards the yg.
 
Here is a picture of the rose gold from me. it's not the best representation in color i guess it looks more like YG here but if you compare them side by side. YG looks VERY yellow and rose gold just looks more flesh toned gold.

After reading the rest of everyone else's posts, go with yellow gold. because if you get the rose gold, you will have three different color metals on you. I don't know about you, but that would be a bit much for me!
 
Laurayuki - I love your Rose Gold bangle it looks great!

I understand that it is such a difficult decision to make, however, if you have to choose the bangle without seeing it, and you do not have a preference in colour to start with I would go for one that suits your skin tone.

I am a pale British skin and I always thought that white gold would look great on me. I tried it on and even though it was stunning there was something niggling at me so I tried on the Yellow Gold. Even with my skin tone, it did not look harsh (which I thought it would if not on an olive toned skin) it actually warmed my skin up.

To be honest, I do not mind mixing metals, however, I am a guy and therefore do not have the choice of jewellery that women do!

I would go for the one that you feel suits you at the moment and then take it from there, I think I found the hardest thing is taking the plunge in the first place after that it all becomes a lot easier!

Picture attached!

And forgot to mention the watch is Rose Gold, so you can see how soft the colour is!

laurayuki, your skin tone and the rg match exquisitely! I love it!

Felix123, lovely bracelet and watch! They go together so well!

dialv, Cartier's rose gold is not as pink/red as others' - it' a very subtle hue and can basically match with anything without clashing! If you want a perfect match with your other yg pieces, then go for the yg, but if you want to purchase other rg items to tie in or just want something that stands out a little without being too obvious, I would get the rg. I just think the rg is just so incredibly beautiful! But I agree that you should go in and see for yourself the two colors :D If you can't (since 22 hours is a long way), maybe wait until you can actually go to a Cartier store to see the bracelets? It's a big investment, and I would want to be completely 100% happy wearing that thing 24/7!!! Are you going on holiday anytime soon (with a Cartier store nearby)? I think the pictures on the forum are lovely but the bright lighting in the Cartier store will really let you see the true colors of the pieces, especially on your skin/with your own jewelry.
