I love the look of my thin love, but I find it hard to sleep with it on. There are some nights I toss and turn and having the bracelet on drives me nuts! I'm more of a thin flexible chain bracelet kind of girl, as beautiful as the love is.
Oh no sorry to hear that. It was my fear as well but mine feels very comfy on. Could it be because of the wrong size? Too snug or loose? Btw, not sure if you had the chance to try on Tiffany T wire bracelet or Van Cleef sweet Alhambra. They’re pretty comfy on.

I've tried the VCA sweets and am trying to decide if I wanna get the Carnelian! Do you mean they are comfy or not comfy?
I think the love is the right size and it's really comfy in the day, but I like to tuck a hand under my pillow at night ahha so the love gets in the way!
Lol yes meant to say they’re comf

Hehe thanks! I'm definitely needing to add a sweets to my (as of now non existent) arm stack!
Same here. Can't sleep with a bracelet. So I went for the small love.
No regrets at all! I have to take my jewellery off when I get home usually, watch and necklace etc so originally purchased a cuff. I wore it for a couple of years straight and practically never took it off, so two years ago in December I sold that and bought the full love bracelet in the old style (removable screws as I was still concerned with the stories regarding lost bracelets in the newer version). It’s been on my wrist ever since. I don’t feel it there anymore and thankfully have never (so far!) had an issue with loose screws.
I recently bought a love cuff (YG) because I needed to be able to take it on/off and the cuff is essentially the same as the full love bangle in width. But as soon as I got home, I regretted not getting the thin love bangle instead.
It’s not the cuff that I dislike (I actually like the ease of the cuff a lot!!) but the actual width and “in your face” presence of the regular love. It also feels very masculine on me. Ironically, I have the regular JUC (RG) and absolutely adore it.
Anyone else feel this way about the regular love? Am I just being self-conscious with how flashy it is? Perhaps I’ll get used to it?

I personally find the thin Love to thin for my liking. I don't find the reg Love too flashy. In store I always look at the bracelets in the full size mirror. I find it shows more of the overall size instead of only watching it on your arm. If you are used to the reg JUC, you will get used to the reg Love I think. Maybe it looks flashy because it is still so shiny and a flat surface (compared to the JUC)? It is funny, I have the exact opposite opinion. I find the reg JUC a bit big on me...
me!! I was debating between the 2 as well and ended up purchasing the thin love. I also wanted to have the option of take off the bracelet by myself. When I tried both in the store, I felt that the cuff looked too chunky on my arm. The thin was much more complementing. The weird thing is I didn’t feel that way with the regular love. I think it’s the way the cuff fits on the arm. Anyway, the thin love is very comfortable- I don’t even notice that I have it on most of the time. Love that it’s subtle but also shiny.
maybe go back and try on the regular love to see if you feel differently?
Good point! Maybe because I see it up close all the time, and it’s new and shiny, it stands out more. I may have to wear it around the house with a few more outfits. The regular JUC is interesting, I can see how it looks big at first but the body is thinner than the love, so I feel it’s bold but not necessarily chunky. But everyone’s wrist is so different that each bracelet has a completely different feel on everyone!
Yes! So glad I’m not the only one. Interesting that you say the regular love didn’t feel as chunky as the cuff...hm maybe it is the fit. I haven’t tried the regular love bangle though. I may have to go back and try a few more on!
Do you feel the thin love has enough “presence” on it’s own? I’m tricky because I like some boldness to my jewelry but not toooo much lol.
I think if you want to see the obvious screw motif from a distance, then the Regular is the way to go. The thin bracelet is more subtle but is very shiny so it does have a presence of its own. I personally feel more comfortable wearing the thin everyday in public without it screaming Love bracelet! But again that’s my personal preference. Both are great options but you really have to try it in person to decide.
After much contemplation, I just purchased my first cuff a few weeks ago. I just got my 2nd today! I want 1 more! I love the cuffs!
As for the topic I am still waiting to regret the purchases of my 7 Loves but I continue to fail
