Has anyone else fallen out of love with the Love?!

[Tonimichelle]

This may be the wrong forum to ask I know and apologies Mods if this question has been asked, I couldn't find it.

I used to be obsessed with the Love bracelet, purchased the cuff and wore it for a few years before purchasing the bangle several years ago now..

I swore I would never want to take it off and absolutely adored it. But over the past 18 months or so I have gradually fallen more and more out of Love with it.

I took it off a few weeks ago as I purchased the small JUC which I'm really enjoying alone. It's early days but currently I really don't want to put it on again! I think it's partly that it feels like everyone I know either has one or in the case of my work place a fake one. I'm just so over seeing it everywhere.

I'm still hoping that I'll fall back in love with it in a few weeks / months and that this is just due to getting something new, has this has happened to anyone else?

Please don't come for me.. I know a lot of people love it and it can look beautiful on them, but curious to know if I'm alone here on this?

Tastes change as time passes by, I think putting it away for a while is a good idea. You can then see if you end up missing it, or maybe you continue feeling like you don't want it anymore and wind up selling it or passing it on to someone else.

I still love my small love bracelet but I would never buy another love at this point to stack with it. I used to really like the look of several Cartier loves stacked together, but now I like more diversity in a stack or just one other bracelet with my love. Today I’m wearing it with my Dinh Van. The Cartier love classic size is totally played out IMO. I will always have the small version as a staple in my collection.

I know many people love the classic love bracelet, but I personally never found it comfortable to wear on a daily basis. It was too heavy and uncomfortable for me and annoying to get off an on! Also to me it felt like a big thick flat chunky piece of gold that was kind of always in my way 🤣 I never liked the classic version on me but I love the small version. On other people I think the classic looks good but it did not work for me.

Got my love bracelet Feb 2018. Been wearing it 24/7 ever since. I think it’s been the opposite for me, as I love it even more now than when I got it.

Not yet.
It’s more like it’s a staple now. And I always notice (as far as I know) when I see someone wears one. It’s like a magnet to my eyes.

I mentioned not yet because I’d never know how I feel about it years down the road. Just like I really liked Chanel mini back then, when everyone else loved it too. But now, it’s ridiculous to me lol (can’t hold much). I just find others that work and look just as pretty if not more.

And it’s ok to feel out of love for Love. These are just material things.

I think thats fairly normal since its everywhere and it has been like that especially in the last two decades. I was thinking about how I would feel if I sold my love since I have the 5 diamond smaller love and I am hopefully getting another cartier non love bangle. However I've had the first love my entire adult life, so its sentimental in that regard. So I think the 5 diamond small love is the last love I get. Would never say no to a pave love.... but I think that theres a beauty these days on minimalistic jewelry so each piece shines versus the large stacks we all used to do.

I think this is a really interesting topic! I have got three loves over the past 5 years and Im still just as obsessed as Ive always been (and would love to keep adding more to the collection). Where I live I dont see anyone with them, so maybe I would feel different if everyone was wearing them….For now I continue to love them 😊 A great question to ask though and im interested in people’s thoughts.

I have three regular loves purchased in 2015/2016 which I used to wear on one arm as a stack every day, never took them off, up until 2021 when they got stuck and I couldn't get one of the screws on each bracelet to unscrew! So, I went to one of the Cartier boutiques in London and they were able to remove them for me - no problem as their onsite technicians had a special screwdriver that they used. Anyway, after that experience I went right off all three of my loves and didn't even want to wear them on the journey home from the boutique, so when I got home I simply stored them in their boxes and no longer wore them for 3 years - my intention was to eventually sell them! However, in May of this year I have gone back to wearing one of my regular loves at a time and am really loving the look, so elegant in my opinion. My intention is to now rotate them - wear one on its own for 4 months of the year, remove it and then switch to another for 4 months and so on which means that for four months of the year each bracelet gets used every day and thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated. I came very close to selling one of them last year, and am so glad that I didn't as I probably would have ended up having to repurchase and obviously they're much more expensive now than when I bought them 8/9 years ago - indeed, one's been discontinued altogether (rainbow love). So my very long answer is: only sell/move on if you are absolutely sure you won't regret it!!!!!

Thanks everyone for your replies! I'm pretty sure I'm not going to part with my Love anytime soon. Hopefully a break from it will make me love it again in the future.
Who knows, I change my mind pretty often so may well decide I want to wear it next week

In the meantime I'm going to enjoy my single JUC, if it gets to at least six months or more and I haven't wanted to wear it then I'll start thinking about whether I want to keep it or not.

If there's one thing I've learned over the years, sellers remorse is worse than buyers remorse by far!

What is the 5 diamond love? Do you mean 10 diamond? 6 diamond?

I got mine over a year ago to commemorate a turning point in my life so it’s special to me; if it really was just a purchase without meaning behind it I may not feel the same. I’ve only taken it off for a medical procedure where I had to but otherwise it’s very special to me. I have the small version and I don’t even realize I have it on anymore, it’s just part of me.

I loved mine and wore them 24/7 without any regret. The only reason I sold them (I had a small Love and a regular Love) was because they were way too big on me. They were both size 20, because at the time that I bought them, I was 60 lbs. heavier than I am now, and even then they were too big, but didn't have the heart to send them back or wait for an exchange. I'm very impatient, so I just wore them. But I sold them both early this year. I don't regret it, but I still check my right wrist to see if they're there. It's so weird. Like a lost limb lol. But I do plan on buying another one (just one) in a few years. I'm in no rush.

Sorry to read this from the OP!

But remember why you bought the jewelry piece?! Was it to make a statement piece for yourself? Or the hype?
I bought my cuff out of the hype but i have my personal reasons to justify why i bought the piece! I bought it with my own money, to remind myself that i love myself and others around me, and to wear it in good health! I see more luxury goods that a lot of people are wearing like me, and i am happy for them. I pay no attention to them as they wear for their own personal reasons! Hope you fall back in love one day!
