The Love is a 19, the Clash a 17, I was surprised. My Ecrou is a 18, they all fit exactly the same, why is it so confusing?

What a stunning stack :wtf: I knew these three bracelets would look great on man’s wrist! I’m planning to order a medium size Clash bracelet in white gold as a Christmas gift to my husband. But now I’m confused with the sizes. :hrmm: His wrist is 17,8 cm in circumference, should I take size 18 for him? He also likes snug fit of the bracelets. Could you tell me please what is your wrist in cm?

Anyone have the WG Clash ring in the small size? How’s the wear? I’ve seen listings of preowned and it seems like the beautiful lustre disappears :sad:

I got one a few years ago and wear it a few times a week. Some of the rhodium has definitely worn off, and my understanding is that Clash pieces can’t be re-plated. I actually like mine more now that it’s not pristine because I think it aligns with the overall edgy vibe.

But I just enjoy my pieces and don’t mind if they get some wear and tear. Wear and tear just means I’m getting a lot of use and enjoyment from them!

Unfortunately that’s true…
But the ring is beautiful anyhow and I try to get use to the different hue. Was told that it was the rhodium coat that fades with wear. A friend bought the rose gold one and it’s still as good as new.

Ooh that makes sense, I agree we should enjoy our pieces and wear them as much as we want! Do you mind posting a photo of what your WG clash looks like now? I am contemplating between that and the regular JUC as a right hand ring! TIA!

I just bought a pair of mini flash earrings a couple days ago. I agree the post is too short (I do have chubby earlobes). My SA suggested to change the post from 8mm to 10mm; Not sure why they don’t go with a 10mm post in the first place.. I haven’t gotten the earrings back yet. Will report back when I try them on again.

I just sent mines in at the boutique to extend the post, they told me they couldn't do it. LOL

You are correct- it is the rhodium plating that gives it that bright color but wears off over time. My SA said the workshop would re-plate it, but she was wrong. I called the customer service line to clarify and was told the workshop no longer re-rhodium plates anything white gold unless it has diamonds. They will only rebuff the scratches but that won't bring back that nice bright hue. So bummed because I wanted the slim clash ring next. sigh ):

You’re right but the ring is still very pretty. Here is how mine looks after 2 years of daily wear…

TBH it’s not that noticeable when the ring is by itself but when comparing it to a brand new one in the store, the rhodium wear on mine was very obvious :lol:
