Pictures really don't do this bracelet any justice. I picked this up unexpectedly over the weekend, and it stacks really, really well with the VCA Perlee Clover. I think the edginess of the Clash really plays well with the whimsical, feminine look of the Perlee. :girlsigh:

Hi! I apologize for quoting one of your old posts 😂—the picture really took my breath away! Such a splendid combo!👍 I was wondering if you could let me know what size number your Clash is, along with your wrist circumference (if you happen to know)? Thank you so much!!💕

Hi! Thank you so much. This Clash is a 17 which is what I wear in the Love bracelet as well.

I just measured my wrist for you, and it's about 6 and 1/4" - just slightly under, really. I hope this helps! <3

Anyone with the WG Clash bracelet? Could you tell me how it ages and whether it needs replating? Thanks

I have had the WG rhodium plated Clash ring for 4 years and wear it a few times a week. It is visibly less shiny/you can tell some of the rhodium has worn off. It still looks great to me, though! I would imagine the wear and tear on a bracelet would be a bit less than on a ring, so it would probably look better for longer.

I think there’s a limit to how many times the same piece can be re-plated, so if you’re hard on your jewelry and care about it looking pristine, maybe stick to non-plated WG, or only WG necklaces/earrings.

Thank you. I recently got the WG ring and love it so much that the bracelet too now is on my wishlist. I’d probably wear it on and off but my view is that jewellery is there to be worn and enjoyed. Will think of the prod and cons. Thanks!

Exactly the same here. Bought the WG clash ring 2 years ago and wear it everyday. It now has a little yellow hue that I don’t like much but a SA told me this model couldn’t be replated due to the multiple little parts… If someone had a different information I’d be interested… A friend got the YG one at the same time and hers is still as new… Nevertheless I love this ring, it’s my favourite and I’m saving for the matching earrings :smile:

Good to know that it can’t be replated; I figured that was the case because all of the existing rhodium is supposed to be removed before a piece can be re-dipped. I still love the ring!

Mine doesn’t have any yellowish tone, but maybe your eyes are more sensitive than mine? The color should be the same as an unplated WG Love bracelet, which looks kind of steely-grey to me. Cartier uses palladium in their white gold, so it should be fairly “white” even when the plating wears off.

Maybe you’re right and the fact that it’s not as shiny and bright as when I hat it makes me think it’s more yellow…
It is still a beautiful ring and I’m glad I bought it 2 years ago for my 40th birthday. That was my first “luxury” piece of jewellery and it will always be special to me.

On a different note, has anyone bought Clash pieces at different points in time and noticed a difference in the RG hue? My earrings are more pink than my necklace, and Idk if it's the lighting or the rose gold comes in different colors depending on the batch.

Did you wear the necklace more, handle it more, maybe shower in it ever? I had a Clash bracelet that I ended up replacing with one size smaller, and when I got the smaller size it was much more pink. I took a polishing cloth to the older one, and it became much more pink again. So I think it was the known effect of Cartier rose gold color fading to more yellow gold color.
