Damage/scratching when stacking Love bracelet?

[candypants1100]

I used to wear a bunch of bracelets at a time, but since i got the love bracelet i am worried that my over metal bracelets will scratch it. Anyone have any insight? Does the love bracelet hold up well against other bracelets/watch?

This question has been asked and discussed quite often. In my own opinion, the Cartier Love will 100% get very scratched regardless of whether it is worn with other bracelets or not. And you won't know if scratches came from other jewelry or just getting knocked into something. I feel it is best to wear with soft cord bracelets or something like that. I wear mine with the charity bracelet but there are many other cord bracelets out there. Good luck and enjoy!

I've seen a lot of ladies stack, either other jewellery pieces, or more love bangles. My old coworker wore THREE love bangles at the same time, and he just got a fourth one !

The gold will always build up a patina so just wear them however you like and enjoy !

i'm sorry- what is patina?

i think it's just personal preference in terms of how tolerant each individual is about the scratches that may develop from stacking it with other bracelets. i do not like seeing my love bracelet get scratched up so i wear it solo. i am fine with that.

i would like to know if anyone wears their love bangle with other bracelets. i would like to buy one oneday but am worried as i wear a few bracelets at one time that it would get ruined quickly. how does it look with scratches?

^^I wear my LOVE bracelet daily next to my watch. Does it scratched more/additional wear n' tear, perhaps but not noticeable enough to me to switch it around. I have also stacked the Love bangle next to cord bracelets and other metal style bracelets and do not see significant wear from those other bracelets. I agree with the above posters, it really is a matter of personal preference and how you want to wear the Love bangle.

I too have recently purchased a yg love bangle & I have been wearing it with silver bracelets but I am worried it will get scratched, so I'm thinking of wearing it on it's own until it gets scratched a bit more as I'm sure it will when your wearing it 24/7.

patina is the natural oxidation with metals over a period of time. basically you can't keep it looking bright and shiny and scratch free, so over time, just the natural scratches, 'dullness' of the bracelet gives it a natural patina.

to answer OP's original question. i used to wear my bangle by itself ever since i got it (2008). but for our anniversary a few weeks ago, my husband bought me a starter pandora bracelet (the leather strap) to start so my daughter can also create her own 'LOVE' bracelet—she can start picking out the charms whenever my husband buys them for me.

but i admit, since it's the leather strap, i take it off everyday before bed. i also think that once i have more charms on it, it could be an issue. i don't know yet since right now, there are only two.

Does anyone layer / stack their cartier LOVE bangle with other bracelets or a watch?
I'm curious whether it causes much damage to the bangle?
Also would love to see photos of your stacked/ layered Cartier Love bangle or cuff
As this is what I'm thinking of doing when I get mine

I love to layer / stack my bracelets and have noticed my Cartier love bracelet is pretty scratched up
Currently I wear it with a Carolina bucci lucky bracelet but I plan to add an Anita Ko pyramid stud bracelet to the stack and in future other bracelets
How much damage will this do over time?
Will it break my bracelet eventually?
I'm worried how bad the damage will be to the bracelets constantly hitting each other
I don't mind and I expect scratches but am afraid of major damage
What are your opinions?
Those of you who stack / layer your love how's it holding up?
TIA to all who reply x

I stack my two loves with hermes clic and juste un clou bracelets and no issues. Just wear them and enjoy...scratches and all.

The only way to avoid scratches and possible "damage" is to not wear it. And for what you paid for it, that's a total waste. Get it insured and wear it.

I have been wearing it since I got it in October I never took it off. I even wore it when I gave birth to my daughter and I battered it a bit with the gas and air pipe when they took it off me lol
I just wasn't sure if it'd break or take huge chunks out stacking it
Scratches I don't mind , it's what makes it mine I just don't want it to take massive dents/chunks out or break it x

 

[xblackxstarx]

If I insure it would it cover damage like that from wear and tear from stacking it ? X
