love your stack! i also have the chalcedony 5, and want to stack it with the ecrou, but i’m worried the ecrou will scratch the chalcedony. have you noticed any problems with that?

I personally do not like scratches so I would never stack the ecrou with a five motif. Also the beauty of the nuts on the ecrou relies on them staying shiny which means UNSCRATCHED. So I won’t be stacking any five motifs with the Ecrou. I posted the pics for people that don’t worry about scratching. And yes, I think the chalcedony would get scratched by the Ecrou. Not obvious but hairline scratches that would be visible upon closer Inspection.

@sunnylovesjewelry do you feel like you need to stack it?

I think it stacks best with the perlee if I wanted to stack. But I usually would wear it alone because stacking with the perlee can still cause scratching on the nuts, which will also affect the shininess.

If anything I would stack it with a casual black leather bracelet, something fun and easy off amazon.

i’ve been considering it, but i’m just worried on its own it’s a little too masculine for my style, so pairing it with some other pieces might make it a bit softer. maybe if i chose rose gold thatd be less of a problem. would you recommend the rose gold 5 motif or the rose gold ecrou?

They are very different styles. I have a rose gold 5 motif and other 5 motifs. I purposely added the Ecrou because of the masculine, slightly rebellious, WTF vibe. I think there is room for both in a collection if you are one to appreciate the aesthetics of a design of the Ecrou. It may be more of a question of which you add first. 5 motifs are easy to love. Ecrou...you're either an Ecrou person or you're not.

If you are, I do definitely think the yellow or rose softens the feel, too much so in my case. I love the vibe and decided on the WG cause I was going all in. The YG and RG were too ambivalent for me. I think you should definitely try them on to figure out which is most true to your character and personality, and what you're most comfortable with. Once you have it on your wrist, I think the answer will come clearly to you rather quickly.

Hi All! I purchased an Ecrou bracelet, and I’m having the hardest time opening it. I’ve watched Cartier’s instructional video over and over, and I’m following their instructions but I can’t open it. Any tips or tricks?

If you hold the bracelet up to eye level and look at the profile, you will see the interior of one side protrude a little bit more. You just need to find the exact spot and push hard. I usually push my finger up very close to the center nut and then push down. It does loosen up and get less difficult to open over time. I take mine off every night, and after a week of taking it off everyday, the little button was a bit easier to press. But Cartier made this hard to open, and I'm actually a little relieved about that.

Congratulations!! :happydance: Please post pictures!

Also… The sizing can be a little tricky. No wonder there’s a near even split between those who size according to their Love vs those who size according to JUC. The screw part of the bracelet is similarly sized to JUC, but when you include the depth of the nuts, it’s about .5cm smaller. Honestly, I think the sizing falls somewhere between Love and JUC.

What size did you end up getting? And what size are your other pieces for reference?

Soooo…
My wrist: 15.5 cm
Love: 17
Clash: 16
Ecrou: 17

As for the fit, I’d say it falls somewhere between the Clash and Love. I’m glad I got the 17 in Ecrou bc it allows some movement between pieces without overlapping.

So perfect. Yeah, those nuts on the side make it look a little bigger than it wears.
