15March : chaumet website has updated their new prices.
From the UK here! I've just checked their website and can see at least a 10% increase in the Bee My Love collection. I was planning to get a third BML ring in YG but I'll see if this initial shock goes away hahaha my SA said it would be around 5-8% but wasn't sure.

Note: I think they're website is a bit funky right now because the prices swing around from £890 to £970, but the Selfridges and Harrods website have the new price.
 
Those who love BML, if say you’re considering all 3 colours to stack, with one half pave and two plain, which color should be with diamonds ?
WG? since WG is the best for diamond sparkle.
 
@Purrsey I suppose it depends how you intend to stack the three, assuming you intend to wear them all together?

I find that the RG and YG are pretty similar so if you'd like contrast and they are going to be adjacent, having one of them in half pave would be nice! But if you prefer a less contrasting / more blended look then this doesnt really matter haha.

Am hoping to get the WG half pave to stack with my RG BML ring :smile: The WG/RG contrast looks really good imo!

My plan is to stack but now i think maybe 3 is too much lol. I am referring to the bracelets (I wasn't clear on that earlier).

So i think maybe 2 bracelets stack is nice.
I really like the RG in Chaumet. So i am thinking half palf WG and plain RG.

I do think WG goes better with RG (than YG) so i think you're making a wise choice to getting the WG half pave ring!

I went into Chaumet today. Tried on a few things but walked out with the classic BML alternating diamond bangle in rose gold. Unfortunately the wider new BML isn’t available in my size for my index finger so I had to pass and will wait until production starts again next year… here’s some pics

Were these the rg and wg bml? Tia! Trying to decide between rg and yg atm.
 
I just received a BML bangle for Mother’s Day (in the US) and am THRILLED!!! I’ve wanted it for years but always thought I’d have to wait until I visited Europe to get one.

I love to do all my “research” on items before I actually unbox them (to get me excited, LOL). I’ve read all 19 pages in this thread and browsed the Cartier love/Chaumet BML my thread, but I can’t find much info online besides tpf. Hope someone can help answer my questions:

1. Has anyone US-based had issues with servicing? I do not have an international SA, and my husband said it was an ordeal for him to order and receive the bracelet. While I don’t anticipate issues with Chaumet, I want to be 100% sure of what I’m getting myself into.

2. Any regrets or issues with the bracelet?

3. A previous poster mentioned the oval shape of the BML is different than the Cartier love. Is this difference noticeable enough to bother anybody?

Please feel free to spam me with all the BML bangle (and stacking) pics! TIA! :)

Hi! Happy Mother’s Day and congratulations! I will add my two cents if helpful

1. I can’t help here as I’ve never needed my bracelet serviced. I bought it in the flagship in Paris. I’ve since emailed the boutique for other reasons and in my opinion they are very prompt for being in a different time zone from me. As far as customer service goes, Chaumet is excellent/on par with similar brands.

2. No regrets or issues. It’s a staple piece on my arm pretty much. There was a period where I didn’t wear it as much but have been wearing consistently for the last ~9 months or so and it’s very comfortable. Right now it’s stacked next to my JUC.

3. I actually LOVE pairing the BML with a love bracelet!!! Here’s a pic of me trying it on with the pave. The honeycomb shape makes the love sparkle soooo much, it like reflects off the side. I never noticed an issue when I paired it with my small love.

Hope this helps!! Enjoy your piece.

There’s every reason to be thrilled and congrats. I’m still thrilled by this piece and every time I think I want to take the plunge (the alternate diamonds bangle), something else distracts me. It’s still in my wishlist for sure.

I can only share about point 3. I believe I’ve posted some pics stacked with love. So long you go one size up for Love, say BML150 and Love16, the pairing in terms of sizing is right. Although shape is slightly different, it doesn’t overlap and definitely doesn’t bother me. Anything off from that pairing size, it will definitely bother me.
