Return to Tiffany mini bead bracelet - does the enamel chip/fade? Or get the plain one instead?

[ddjt123]

I have the blue one for two years, wearing it almost every day. The blue enamel is still in good condition, no chipping nor fading.

I have the same dilemma! Silver heart is maybe safest because no chipping or fading risk but isn't it a bit boring looking?

I’m curious in which one you got. I’m debating on teal or light pink as well or silver.

Get the plain. The enamel will chip.

I've had the blue enamel for 9 years now and a light pink one for 2.5 years.. no chips or fading on either one. I've worn them 24/7.

The small beads, however, on my blue enamel mini bead have tons of dents in them from careless cabinet closing and door slamming though!

I went for plain silver to avoid potential hassles with the enamel. The plain silver is still very cute!

I know this is quite an old thread but I've have an enamel bracelet since 2016, I go through phases of wearing it frequently and then putting it away for a few months. There's a scuff on the enamel side but it's not noticeable and there's no chipping on the enamel.

I have never had chipping on the enamel but both the blue and pink discolor after time. I have had a lot of blue pieces besides the mini bead bracelet and they all discolored over time. I had the matching pink RTT charm and it also discolored over time. They are unable to "repaint" the charms so you'd have to deal with them being discolored or buy replacements. While the color issue is better than it once was (my first blue enamel key turned mint green and my other items purchased a year or more afterwards get lighter in color), it still is not going to remain the same as when purchased. My red and hot pink mini RTT items do not discolor though (so far, also not as old).
