I bit the bullet...but should I keep what I got?

[D3183]

So I finally decided and went with the small love, rose gold, size 16. I also bought the trinity cord bracelet for my (soon to be) 3 kids.

I think I’m happy with my choice, but I also have the option of going back and exchanging the small love and trinity for a classic love in rose gold. I have had a classic love before but didn’t keep it as I felt somewhat self conscious wearing it and it was difficult (as it should be) to take on and off.

Looking back I really love the look and concept of the regular love but think the small could be better suited for my lifestyle.

What are your thoughts? Pics of the two that I purchased and the classic love attached.

I prefer the look of the small Love & trinity bracelet on you. It looks more proportional.

I prefer the classic

If you'll always be thinking about the classic I don't think you'll be happy with the small version

I like the classic. What about going w/the Cuff? You get the look of the classic, but freedom to take off as needed.

I had some buyer’s remorse when I got the small because of how many people on this forum prefer the classic - it made me wonder if I made the wrong choice! But it’s such a personal decision, you just have to go with what feels right to you and what fits your style. I prefer the small on you, but it’s totally your call

I prefer the classic on you

Classic all the way

Classic 100%. I agree with trying the cuff. Save some money and have the option of taking it on and off.

I like the classic better on you

I prefer the classic, but understandably being able to take it off plays into the decision. Also, I love the way the yellow gold looks against your tattoo! I was in a store recently and the lady helping me had a full sleeve to her wrist on her right arm with a classic YG Love. The Love looked absolutely amazing against her ink, and yours will too either classic or thin!

I love the look of the Thin with your Trinity cord! Keep it! It looks very good to have a stack.

I like the classic a lot better on you (and I'm someone who likes the small!). Plus the Trinity cord will get dirty and need replacing every now and then, a bit annoying for a daily piece imo. Have you thought about the cuff?

You can't go wrong with either one as they both look great. I like the smaller LOVE for the same reason you mentioned...the ease of on and off. I don't sleep with any jewelry on [except the Trinity cord] so that is a big selling point for me. I'm a bigger guy and both the classic and small version worked for me but I think the small is the one on my "someday" list.
Regardless of what you decide for the LOVE, you should keep the Trinity cord...it looks super cute on you and it's a great everyday piece. I have not taken mine off since I bought it over four months ago [not even for showers, swimming, working out at the gym, etc.] and it's quite durable. I would keep the darker cord though as the light one may soil easier [mine is the dark grey and shows no dirtiness at all].

Thank you all for your input! I’ve ultimately decided to keep the small love - having had the classic back in 2016 and remembering the weight and how self conscious it made me feel (which it shouldn’t have, but it did!) - I think the small love is the right choice for a more subtle look. I also love the trinity bracelet and want to keep it! Maybe someday in the future I’ll get another classic.
