I took my loves off with plans to wear my VCA signature and sweet daily instead. Took me three days to put my loves back on. I felt naked without them. It’s reaffirmed I just need to repurchase in RG.
Has anyone else fallen out of love with the Love?!

Same for me with the classic one in YG. In its box since few months now and I do not know what to do...I never thought i would sell the classic YG love. It was a dream piece for me and I wore it non stop for a few years but sold it recently.
1. As my jewelry collection grew, I was rotating pieces daily so I found it annoying to take on and off
2. I saw pictures of myself wearing it and it looked too bulky.
3. The bracelet started looking too basic for me - changing tastes?
That being said, I would totally consider the small love or the small pave love
I am afraid to regret it if one day I would like to wear it again but....I don't want to wear it anymore for the moment.
I personally have.
I’ve had my plain love bracelet for 9 years, but last week I finally decided to take it off and I don’t miss it.
I’ve taken it off a few times before throughout the years, but after a couple days I always ran back to it because I felt naked without it. Now, for the first time in my life, I feel better without it.
Everyone around me has a love bracelet now (and tbh so many fakes, too). No matter where I go — gym, restaurants, supermarket — it just doesn’t feel special anymore. Back when I first got it, it made me feel unique and elegant, now it’s definitely lost its value in my eyes.

I have exactly the same feeling and this is the reason why I took it off.
I think I’d get bored with any bracelet 24/7 so am happy I got the cuff and wear it occasionally. Although I do like the full circle look of the original love better, particularly the 4 diamond option.
I liked the fact that I could never take it off, when I first got it. It almost became a part of me, but for the past few months I only felt like I was “constricted” in it and it no longer made me happy when I looked at it.
Well mine is currently back in the safe! I've no plans to sell it this time (as I'm sure at some point in the future I will want to wear it again) but I bought the regular JUC a few weeks ago and I really do prefer that on it's own.
I've tried it on with the JUC and on the other wrist with my watch, but neither really work for me at the moment.
I kind of wish I had the hinged version so it wasn't such an issue swapping it about occasionally. I also tried the small Love with the regular JUC when I was in the boutique, I did like it, just not enough to pull the trigger, so I'll stick with mine and hold on to it for when I'm back wanting to stack again!

Me too! It was not being able to remove it and it being a permanent (ish) part of me that appealed to me when I bought it. Now I wish I could just slip it on and off without potentially damaging the screws!
I am tired of the bracelet too. I see it everywhere, a mess product and nothing special anymore.
So true.
I also don’t like how Cartier started making smaller sizes (thin & now medium) to appeal to even more people… it used to be somewhat of an exclusive piece, now it’s literally everywhere
I still love mine because they're so "plain". Mine have diamonds but they're still clean/plain and literally go with everything.
My small with diamonds rests in my jewelry tray, because I have more than a couple of Loves and don't want or need to wear each and every piece daily.
I'd never sell mine, if I grew tired of them, I'd remove them, and maybe fall in LOVE again with them at a later time. Either way, I save all my fine jewelry for heirlooms, I don't sell jewelry or my bags.

Oh! Interesting perspective. Thanks for sharing.
IMHO…These are still exclusive pieces. The price point tells you that. Most people cannot just go into a store and drop almost $10,000 (plus/minus, depending on the plainest version/size you get, as well as where you live). This is a significant purchase! At least it was for me! I have wanted a Love bracelet since I was a child. I worked exceptionally hard to have one. And for me, I am thrilled that they make a small and medium size! I have the small. Not because it was cheaper (that was just a bonus). Because it looks better on my wrist. And because it feels better on my wrist - I am very sensitive, and sadly, the original size was just too heavy for daily wear; and too faffy to constantly take off.
I think the problem is social media saturation. We see them everywhere; and seemingly, on everyone. And then, of course, the persistent and annoying issue of fakes - ugh!! Further, it is also where you live and/or work. Thankfully for me, I rarely see designer/luxury pieces where I live and work. Even when I am in Toronto, I rarely see anyone wearing the same pieces I have (whether that be clothing, jewlery, shoes, or bags).
Very curious as to why some of you see them so often, and some of us don’t (again, perhaps where you live?) - I find this bit of the topic the most interesting.
I hope everyone falls back in LOVE with their bracelets. But if you don’t, I hope you find something that makes your eyes sparkle and your heart skip a beat.
The Love bracelet was a really significant purchase for me too, when I first bought it. I had wanted one for so long, and finally being able to afford it made me incredibly happy and proud. Back then, it also made me feel special and unique — it wasn’t as popular as it is today (despite the price hikes).
I live in Milan, and I can guarantee I see Love bracelets everywhere I go. If I didn’t see so many of them every day, I’d probably still love and cherish mine.
I’m glad yours makes you happy, and I hope you never get tired of it. I loved mine for years — it made me smile every time I looked at it because I had worked so hard for it. I don’t regret the purchase at all, and I have no plans to resell it. But for now, I’m just happier knowing it’s safe in my jewelry box rather than on my wrist.

I still love mine, but to be fair I try to rotate between a rainbow WG, rainbow PG, and a plain cuff every several months. I love how it stacks well with other things though I will confess sometimes I wish they were easier to take off so I could switch up other stuff (I don’t like having more than 3 things in my stack). But I also don’t see a lot of people wearing them (which kind of surprises me given where I live) and the rainbow is definitely scarcer, so that also helps. I also think stacking different ways keeps it fresh so I don’t get tired of them.
I got mine for a milestone anniversary a while back. I’ve always wanted one and was super excited when I got it. I don’t remove mine.
I got it before the trends and sometimes am appalled at the thought that social media cheapened what was once a nice piece (same with my VCAs as I got them at a time when majority of people didnt even know what it was).
I still appreciate the pieces I have but if I was just starting, I may pick something else instead.
