Hello,
I have never come across the review on Cartier love diamonds pave bracelet. I am wondering if the owner of these gorgeous bracelets could share the review. In terms of, is it comfortable to wear? the ease of taking off, how secure is the closing mechanism? the WG with ceramic vs YG/RG version? Does it worth to own vs the plain bracelet, etc.....
I would love to hear your 2 cents.
Thanks.

To all the Love pave owners, I am wondering if you wear your bracelet all the time? Are you able to wear it casually? And are you very delicate with it? Or worry about banging it up?

I am just curious how careful one must be with it as I have two young children. But the idea of being able to remove it every night is very appealing to me.

Also do you think it is enough as a stand alone bracelet?

Last question, do you feel the pave is worth the steep price point?

Thanks! Also any and all pics are totally welcome!

I would also love to hear from others as to whether the pave love bracelets (both the thin and full widths) are worth the price. I’ve been considering adding either one to my current love/JUC stack but it’s hard to tell how well they hold up on a day to day basis (and for that sort of investment it should be very wearable day to day).

Hi all! I'm looking into finally making my first Love bracelet purchase soon - so excited! But I'm still wondering about a few things and I was hoping you lovely ladies and gentlemen could help me!

I really want to get a WG version with diamonds, but I'm stuck between 10 diamonds or the thin pave one (unfortunately, I can't afford pave with diamonds, sigh). 10 diamonds is definitely cheaper, which will leave me some money to spend on my other obsession - VCA Alhambra! But I really love how sparkly the pave band is... I don't live close to a Cartier boutique and will make the trek out there once I've agreed to pull the trigger, so I can't just go try one on now (though of course I'll take the final call once I'm in the boutique!)

So, my questions: a) does the pave band hold up for everyday wear or not? b) Also, is it very ostentatious or subdued enough to not raise eyebrows (I don't work in a very fashion forward/expensively dressed office!) ? c) I know you're not supposed to remove it once on, but in case I do want to take it off and on again (e.g. save it for special occasions), will it look weird if I get a size big enough to fit me like a bangle (i.e. doesn't need to be unscrewed)?

Especially for the latter point, if any of you ladies/gentlemen who has a love bracelet that's big enough that you can slide it on or off (doesn't have to be pave) I would looove to see it! I just want to see how it looks when worn "oversized" (also would love to not have to bother about the screwdriver all the time).

The thin Love is meant to take off easily. There is only 1 screw that you turn once. So get that one if you want to take it off regularly.

I definitely wouldn't suggest getting a size big enough to wear as a bangle, in either the original or thin Love. They will turn on your wrist, bang into things, etc.

I hadn't realised that, thanks for letting me know!

I'm still debating whether to go thin pave or original 10 diamond... mostly because if I do the original 10, I can buy other stuff as well xD I have my eye on a VCA Alhambra 20 motif MoP necklace as well, though I'd space them out just so I make sure to enjoy it enough :D

What would you suggest - WG Pave or WG 10 diamond + Alhambra 20 motif?

Well, I definitely take the thin pave. I think it’s a beautiful bracelet to stack and by itself. I really don’t like 10 diamond love because I fell that without the distinctive design of the original, it lost the charm... and if you can afford only the pave, in the future you can add whatever you want because the thin one looks great with everything else.
Obviously, just an opinion.

Thank you for your suggestion!! I think I might be leaning that way as well because I feel like its "more bang for your buck", the only thing stopping me is that I really don't want to wear it everyday but I also don't want to damage it by taking it off all the time. I adore the look of it but I wouldn't want to wear it more than 1-2x a week (definitely not to work for example, this is not a "showy" office and I already have people looking askance at my jewellery choices because no one really wears any) so I am kind of concerned about pulling the trigger on the love because I don't want anything happening to the screws...

I vote for the wg 10 diamond + Alhambra! I think the thins look better stacked with originals vs worn alone- although I'm sure the pave can hold its own!

I'm new to the forum and my reply to you is above this comment! Sorry - couldn't figure out how to add it after I posted!

You have a good point about the distinctiveness of the pave, and since its only 1 screw its easier to take off and on, which is important to me...

I'm just starting to get into VC&A myself, so definitely the 10-diamond & 20 motif Alhambra.

But, would you also consider the 4-diamond Love? You still get the sparkle from the diamonds, but also the Love motif. Best of both worlds, IMO.
