Also I’m all for mixing metals but in general pink, yellow, and white all at once is too much! E.g. when people stack one of each in Loves

I’ve thought long and hard about mixing metals. I think I need to try on white gold with yellow gold, take a video and watch it for a while before I decide how I feel!
You should try it, just two can look very nice! My usual ensemble is a mix of pink and yellow. I don’t mind all three together if it’s in a really small amount, like on the Trinity cord.
I don’t like rose gold.
That said, I unknowingly tried on a rose gold Clash bracelet thinking it was yellow and it promptly went to the wishlist. Cartier rose isn’t very pink, and eventually loses its rosiness my SA told me. In their lighting, next to my wg Love I legit thought it was yellow!

I don’t know if my RG faded, but the tone difference between my RG JUC and YG Love is very very small.
Just go to a jeweler and ask to plate your ring. It’s a super easy procedure and usually costs less than 100$
This has already been mentioned but here’s my two cents!
1. Love circle necklace and bracelet - don’t like it. I tried it and ended up exchanging it for the trinity necklace which I think looks so lovely and delicate - not in your face.
2. Was on the fence about the Panthere bangle but then tried it on and fell in love. Was originally in the boutique for the Clash bracelet but it didn’t suit!
3. JUC classic size - not for me. Massive and just looks wrong on my small wrists. Went for the small with diamonds which I think compliments the classic Love without taking away from the piece.

I am not a fan of the love bracelet/love ring in white gold without diamonds. I just don't understand why they don't rhodium plate them as well.
Unpopular opinion #1: The Clash, JUC, and Ecrou lines are trying too hard to be "edgy". Reminds me of the rich kids who tried to pretend they were runaway punk kids and got all their punk clothes from a store in the mall. We didn't have anything against the rich kids for being rich, just for not being genuine and for treating our lives and aesthetic as a novelty and costume.
Unpopular opinion #2: And speaking of trivializing and treating other people's lives as a costume, that's how I feel about the Love bracelets. I find it extremely disrespectful and thoughtless to wear "shackles" especially in the US where we used to have slavery. I think it is awful to use such a horrible representation of human bondage in a society that once legally held certain people to be property.
I do love a lot of their other jewelry and perfumes though.

My unpopular opinions are:
Love the JUC with diamonds, not the plain ones. The diamonds add a little bling. Also I have very slender wrists and I only like the thin JUC, the regular one etc. look way too chunky on me.
I love my Love bracelets, but I love my Panthere bracelets and rings even more. I have always loved big cats, and the Panthere line makes me feel so good.

I don't like the look of the small JUC. This is just a personal opion, but I don't think it captures the essence of JUC which is edgy and androgynous, and that's what I love about this design and I believe that's why it was originally designed to be in the regular size. For me, like the Love bracelet, the JUC is a statement piece of jewllery and it needs to have "presence".
BTW, I have very small Asian wrists but I love chunky jewelery (you can probably tell based on my avatar!)

I love Cartier watches and I respect their designs, but I prefer Seiko's dupes for the Cartier watches. the Seiko essentials collection has quite a few clean, rectangular/square watch designs that look even more minimalist and elegant than Cartier's.
Interesting. I have several vintage (pre-80s) Seikos and they are awesome.
I'm going to add onto your watch theme and say that not only do I think the Tank is a little boring, but I actually like Longines Docevita line, including the really fun double-leather watch pictured below better than Cartier's actual Tanks. Also I prefer the Longines PrimaLuna line to Cartier's Ballon Blues. I don't like the bubble crown of the Cartier version, and some of the Longines PrimaLunas come with a moon phase, which I love.
And while I adore the Panthere watches and the gold small is still on my "if I win the lottery" list, I have to admit that my eyesight is not what it used to be and I now struggle to see a watch face that small.
