I think I could taken the bangle off using a plastic bag trip I saw on YouTube, but I wear it 24/7 since 2016 (bangle forced on with medical-grade lotion and bruised my hand a bit LOL).

I love the look of rhodium plated WG, so bright, white, and shiny. (Although my SA said they wouldn't do it to a plain WG lol, even though people here clearly have had it done!) Have you had your love re-plated since the first dipping? I know they polish it before re-plating and that can change the shape/sharpness of the corners. My JUC diamond is fairly new so I don't have a lot of experience about how long it lasts and the roundness hides scratches.

I guess Clash de Cartier is an option! The design might be good for hiding scratches.

Your jade looks great with loves and looks like it would be difficult to get off! I worked with a lady that wore a jade bangle that was placed on her as a young adult, probably 25 years before I met her. She said there was absolutely no way to get it off short of breaking it. I've always found permanent jade bracelets fascinating!

As for the plating, I had mine done about three years ago. I didn't notice any difference in the shape or sharpness of the edges after getting it back. I haven't had it re-plated and don't plan to any time soon. Mine is scratched up and a little of the plating is worn on the bottom, but since the original color is the same it really doesn't show. The dull look of non plated didn't bother me until I stacked with a YG, then it was vastly different. For me, despite the scratches, I prefer the shine to match the YG. Being a guy, it sees rough duty with home projects and I don't care about scratches. I do wear a wrist band when doing heavy work, but don't baby it either.

I don't know why the SA's tell you they won't plate them. When I e-mailed the workshop they said 'no problem'! I probably have a copy of the e-mail, if you'd like a copy drop me a PM.

I also have a “permanent” jade bracelet gifted by my parents but if I really need to I can get it off with a plastic bag. I just leave it on 24/7 though. It’s on my left hand. The normal 24/7 nature of the jade bangle in my culture (my mom, grandma, and great grandma all had one) is one of the things that first drew me to the love bracelet, which is also a 24/7 bracelet.

I usually have a small yg love, small yg JUC, and small rg dior rose branch cuff on my right hand but everything is off right now because I sprained my wrist

Since pandemic, only legers or trinity heart necklace 24/7. I am worried to get hand sanitizer on my rings or bracelets so i keep them at home. Although I think gold will not be affected by hand sanitizer. I also wear non-Cartier solitaire studs 24/7.

Do you think it’s ok to sleep in my necklace? I love how my bracelet feels like “part of me” & I know that’s because I never take it off
