I can't take it off! They used medical grade lotion/lubricant to force the bangle on me after I bought it. I was doubtful it would fit, but the store owner was confident and had been selling jade for years (Luxe Pieces in SF). My hand was bruised for a couple of days after, but I love it and the fact that it is always on.

As with the Love, I like the commitment it takes to wear a piece of jewelry permanently! The jade and love will clink quite a bit, but a wonderful reminder that you're wearing them both. I was going to say that it looked like the SF Cartier in your photo. Both of my Love's came from there!

I wear one of those trendy friendship bracelets between my jade and love (as a buffer) to prevent clinking and vibrations that are supposed to lead to loose screws. I asked my SA about Loctite. She said they used to do it but not anymore and that she didn't recommend it because they have had to break some bracelets that used it. I'm not sure what she meant by "break" though lol.

I know the SF Cartier just moved and the store is so nice! It was such a lovely experience. I thought I wouldn't be into branded jewelry but Cartier changed that quick. Two loves, that sounds beautiful!

I'd guess that anyone having problems getting the screws out used the wrong strength Loctite. Blue and Red Loctite are the WRONG kind, but I'll bet some people don't know that and use them as they are easily available in hardware stores. I wonder also what they meant by 'breaking' the bracelet? I know that the store can't get mine off with the screwdrivers they have. I have to loosen the screws ahead of time, but it's never a problem.

I've been in the new SF store a couple of times and it's beautiful!

I worked with a lady that wore a jade bracelet, and I never saw her without it for over 20 years. One day asked about it and she told me she had begun wearing it as a teenager. She never took it off and grew into it such that, like yours, it can't be removed. I had never heard of that before.

Went with YG in the regular width
Rose gold blended into my skin too much

Congrats! Looks amazing on you. I am thinking of getting my first LB too, still debating between YG and RG, I think YG looks better on me. Do you take it on and off or do you always keep it on? I am not sure I can wear it 24/7. Have you considered the one with 4 diamonds or do you like the classic style?
