Just a few questions,
is it possible to wear the love bracelet while it's locked? Like slide it in and out, if i pick a a couple of sizes bigger?

also, I can't for the life of me pick between YG and rose gold....help me decide!
 
+1 for the rose gold! IMHO it looks positively ethereal compared to the YG. I would suggest going by your skin tone--if it's cool, choose rose; warm, go with yellow. Good luck!
 
I have the rose gold cuff and love it. I plan on getting another to wear next to it. The new one might be a yellow gold plain bangle or rose gold with semiprecious stones when it comes out. I wear a size 17 in the cuff and would do the same in the bangle. Even if I went up to the 18 though, it is still impossible for me to wiggle out of. I tried it and would still have to use the screwdriver. Perhaps the 19 I could get off without unscrewing.
 
thegraceful1 - just curious - do you take off Love bracelet each time you wear it or do you wear straight for weeks at a time and then take off? One size up doesn't help me. I wonder if I can do two sizes up but I'm afraid it will look too big. I'd be so happy if I can remove without screwdriver like you're able to!
 
There are very few people who can wiggle out of theirs, even when they size up.

It's an oval bracelet, not a circle... and supposed to sit snugly on the wrist.

Having said that -- I wish I could squeeze my hand without having to use the screwdriver, but that's not an easy thing to do for most people.
 
I have the pink gold and love it so very much but honestly there is not a huge difference between the two colors... you should just try them on side by side and pick the one that looks best on your skin tone, good luck!
 
I agree - Cartier rose gold is a very subtle difference from Cartier yellow gold. If I go with yellow gold for my 2nd one, it would be a slight contrast. IMO, they're both gorgeous!
 
thanks for your input!

i have tried both colors, and still found it hard to decide, which is why i asked about your opinions....i can see the rose gold is definitely a fav here

also, i know they're oval and not round...but i did read someone here could wiggle in and out of it while it's locked, which is exactly what i'm looking for. maybe if it was 2 sizes bigger?
 
thegraceful1 gets out of hers locked. Perhaps it is 2 sizes bigger. Ideally, I would prefer that but 1 size bigger did not work for me. 2 sizes bigger might work but then it might look too big. I will probably just get my correct size (17) and keep it on all the time.
 
^Burqaface & Hokaplan: mine is one size bigger (to "wiggle" my hand out)...I dont think 2 sizes bigger will be a good idea, it might turn around your hand too much and will prob. be annoying.
 
I'm not a big person but I cannot even come close to wiggling out of this bracelet in one size bigger. In fact, I just got a pedicure and the technician commented that my calves were so skinny! So I don't think my wrists are big. I will just have to accept that once I get a Cartier love bangle (not cuff which I already have) it will just be on ALL the time. Still deciding between plain YG and semiprecious stones YG. Any more opinions are welcome and appreciated!
