First Cartier Bracelet: Which One?

[foreverandtoday]

Yes forum does confuse you sometimes. Lol.

You must be able to stand wearing a bracelet 24/7 if the love regular is what you're deciding on. Something to note.

Oh yes! I wear jewelry everywhere even to sleep!

I have all three that you are looking at. I got the Classic Love first, then the thin with 6 diamonds, then the thin juc with diamonds. If I could only have one it would be the Classic. If two, the Classic and thin Love.

Thanks for the input! I probably will end up with all 3 too. Someday. Fingers crossed

Do you like the look of JUC + Love stacked?
I’m not a fan of one bracelet only, maybe save a little more (900 approx) and buy the plain love sm AND the JUC plain sm… just another option.

Yes! I think after my first

The regular love in yg was my first (and I thought it would be my only). Few months after that I bought a thin yg love and now I’m planning to buy either another regular yg love or the regular JUC. I never liked the small JUC, it looked too flimsy on me.

Yes thinking it might be only but based on posts here, seems like everyone bought more bracelets after their first I have not seen the small JUC in person yet. Just here in the forum. Wouldn’t the regular love and regular JUC look bulky when stacked? I don’t think I have seen any photos of those tyet.

Another vote for the classic love. I wear mine solo on my right arm and love it!

If there's any way you can visit a boutique to try them on, I would highly recommend it to help you decide.

I’ve tried on the regular but when I went to the boutique, I was not aware of the JUC yet. Maybe I’ll do this so I can compare the bracelets. Thanks for the suggestion!

thin love
I wear small love (no diamonds) and small juc with diamonds and love them

do you have a photo?

I have a somewhat similar stack to what you’re going for (just no diamonds) and I would recommend getting the classic love first. My reasoning is because it’s the one you’ve wanted the longest and it is truly beautiful on its own.
I bought my classic love first for the same reasons. I wanted one for forever and at the time I didn’t plan on stacking, it just looked great by itself. But then the Cartier itch happened and I added a small juc because I loved the proportions of the classic love and small juc on me. Plus the just added fun visual interest even at a glance. Then finally I added my small love in between. I went for a different color gold to break it up, but I think the diamonds will give you the same effect.
That’s the order I bought my stack and I wouldn’t have done it differently because it never felt incomplete or lacking at any point. It was just my Cartier addiction that had me adding more and more lol.

As others said reg w/o diamonds. Such an easy question.

This is the regular juc with regular love (and a small love)

Without a doubt, classic Love.

You can't go wrong.

My sequence looks similar to yours except the 3rd bracelet I didn't buy it but am passed down one (which I don't really fancy stacking with my reg juc and love, after trying it out a few times but it looks stunning stacking on my other hand). I want to buy a next piece and my heart is with sm love (loving that flushed stack) either with or without diamonds. I'm not sure if I'm ready to wear PG or WG with my YG stack, although it gives a good "break it up". I might have seen your stack pic somewhere but I guess my memory capacity was full that time. May I ask to see it again?

Sure thing! My stack is rose gold and white gold. I personally really like the unrhodium plated white gold with the rose. But I think I like rhodium plated white gold with yellow gold. The tones look better to my eye. But that’s completely subjective.
here is my stack. I hope it helps you and OP

I totally get it on the break-it-up from your pic. Love it on you; the difference in gold gives it a good dimension.

I'm not too familiar on rhodium part. Do you mean you can ask Cartier if you can choose either rhodium or unrodium on a Love for WG?

Thank you!
And as far as the rhodium plating goes, Cartier automatically does rhodium for their white gold stuff with diamonds. It’s a brighter white (which I think looks great with the yellow gold). But the non diamond stuff, like mine, is not plated.
I *think* I’ve heard that Cartier will plate a non-diamond white gold piece for a fee. I want to say @avcbob had his done. But don’t let me start lying lol. I may be remembering wrong.

Yep, you've got it right - I had my non diamond love bracelet plated after the fact. The stores will tell you it can't be done but the NYC workshop seems to be OK with it. Merry Christmas!

This is good to know! I have white gold diamond studs that I had my jeweler dip because they were causing an allergic reaction. They said I might need to change them to platinum but they were fine after getting plated.

 

[scheurin]

I would think every Jeweler can do that. You might not need Cartier.

 

[ChanelFan29]

I'd suggest the regular Love bracelet as your first.

Regular love for sure
