When I first got mine, I was so careful not to get scratches. But it's inevitable! Now I kind of don't care anymore... and hope that the patina with age will make it even more beautiful. I love to garden and if I can't take it off... I just have to garden with it on. That really scratches it.

I have it in yellow gold and in white gold. After a week or 2 I want if off badly! This happens every time and I've had them for around 8 years. They do scratch easily and feel cumbersome in hot weather. Maybe it's time to check out the cuff. I know this sounds gruesome but sometimes I think if I was robbed and they couldn't get it off they would cut off my hand.
I just came back from Vegas and bought the Love necklace for myself and dh bought me the Love ring with the pink sapphire! Love it - both are in the rose gold -- both of these items were less than the bracelet - and since my mom has a rose gold bangle I figured I'll be happy with that down the road...I love the pink gold! Very unique...
I have the pink gold Love bracelet that my husband gave to me and I love it to death. I never take it off and at first I was a bit bothered with the scratches, but then, they blend overtime and I got used to it. I also tend to mix other bracelets so there's more likelihood of scratching. If I want to, I can always have it refurbished at Cartier.
I also have the Love pink gold ring and once I fell off my bicycle and got a big and deep scratch. I sent it back to Cartier for refurbishment and it came back like brand new!

How pink is the pink gold? I really don't like yellow gold and I'm getting the bracelet and necklace soon...Its going to be a 'suprise' for me...I just need to figure out which one I want, lol.
All of my jewellery is silver or white gold...so I'm afraid if I get the pink gold it won't go with anything and will look bad...thoughts anyone?

ambrosia,
The pic on the previous pages is my pink gold love bracelet. It is a very subdued pink. All of my other jewler is white gold or platinum. The bracelet blends in very well. The cartier SA recommended not getting white gold for this piece since it would need rodium treatments and this bracelet is meant to be worn at all times. Here is a pic of the bracelet and my other jewlery I usually wear with it

Cartier makes a very subdued pink gold compared to others. Also, I personally prefer pink gold together with white gold/platinum. Both metals combined look good together.
Maybe you would like to go for the pink gold, Ambrosia? I was deciding between yellow and pink, when my SA told me that pink is less common and it flatters most skin tones. My DH prefers white gold initially but now, after seeing the pink on me he agrees that pink looks good. I get lots of compliments on it too 
La Van, my SA was advising against polishing the bracelet as small amount of gold will be lifted and this might affect the look of the screw imprints. Not sure if what she said it's true but I hoping that the scratches will blend overtime.

Thanks, FleurDeLis! It looks really good with the other jewellery! Good point about the rodium treatment as well.
psychedelic...I think you may be right. The pink gold seems like it will "blend" in more and be more of a subtle thing.
La Vanguardia...after seeing FleurDeLis' pics...I have to agree! I think the pink gold will be a good combo with everything and is something a little different and more uniquie.
So now I'm leaning towards pink
. Thanks everyone!
So the pink gold is cheaper than the yellow gold then?
In order of price, which is the cheapest and the most expensive? Rose gold, yellow gold or white gold?

Their pink is very subtle but the yellow gold is subtle as well!
Initially, I was going to get the pink bracelet, but after trying it on, it looked odd with my pink toned skin. That really surprised me. My skin is kind of pale and pinkish and the pink gold looked too pink and made my arm look like a cooked lobster. The yellow bracelet looks pinkish on me. Sounds odd but I ended up with the yellow... which barely looks yellow. I think you have to try it in the store and see which one is best.

I have one. It took about a year, but I finally got used to having the darn thing on my wrist at all times. At first, it kind of annoyed me that I couldn't take it off. Now I forget it's there. I think it's worse in the summer.
Jayne1........ I felt the same way for a while, and it made me a little claustrophobic! I carry the little screwdriver with me at all times! :lolots: I've had my bracelet a year,and it was about $3,800. I guess the price of the bracelet fluctuates with the price of gold per oz.
