My yellow gold love classic is almost 2 years old and haven’t taken it off since the day it first went on, and I still love it. I also have a yellow gold small (6 months) and its nice to have the versatility of wearing it with my classic or on my other arm. I don‘t mind the scratches, and as one person said, they feel like a part of me. (If scratches will bother you, this may not be the bracelet for you. I am not careless, but even fabric rubbing on them will create a patina over time.) Having a good fit is very important (my wrist measures 15.875 centimeters at the wrist bone, or 6.25”, and I have size 17 bracelets). No regrets at all! ❤ them!
