This may be a silly question but why does the white gold version cost more than the yellow or rose gold? It seems yellow/rose are more popular to begin with as most prefer the warmer colors

Hi there, not a silly question at all. I also was curious to know and my SA told me that it is because Cartier White gold contains some platinum in it.
Rose gold and yellow gold don't. This is why all of the white gold items at Cartier are more expensive than YG or RG.

Hello all! I've been reading this forum for days and need help! I have recently received a love bracelet size 16 for my birthday. Since it is such a special gift, I want to make sure I can always wear it and I won't outgrow it. I'm in between a size 16 and 17, like most people. And unfortunately, they don't make half sizes. I can't decide if I prefer a more snug fit or the looser fit. I've been looking at pictures of celebrities and can't decide what size to finally decide on. The SA was very helpful and told me I was a size 16, since the bracelet did not turn on its own but could turn with pressure applied. The 17 is noticeably big but I'm worried that the 16 won't fit in the case of summer months, weight gain or pregnancy. (Not that I'm planning on gaining weight) I have tried on both of them and can't decide which one I like better. I am planning to wear it on the left wrist with a watch/sometimes without by itself since my right is my dominant hand and I don't want to cause unnecessary scratches. But if I ever choose to switch hands, the 16 won't be comfortable. I live in Florida where it is hot most of the time and I don't want the bracelet to stick to me. My boyfriend is adamant about keeping the 16, but it feels a little too snug whereas the 17 is a little bigger. I tried on my sister's bracelet that has the 17 and for some reason it feels bigger in the store. I might want to stack it in the future so that is another concern of mine, I would have to stick with the same size. Any help anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks!

I am EXACTLY the same. The 16 fits about 1.75" down from the top of my wrist. Because I got my first in 16, the other two Loves i got after had to also be 16 so they stacked nicely. In hindsight, I wish I had gotten the 17 so it would go further down my arm. It's not tight enough where I ever plan to gain enough wait where it wouldn't fit, moreso I like the look of it being further down the arm.

I haven’t but was also wondering the same thing. I do have my tricolor Bzero ring on the same hand/arm as my love

Hi MrsTLP, I know this post was some months ago, but I just saw it and am loving your whole stack. (Fellow Bulgari fan here [emoji847])

Can you tell me where you got that beautiful oval beaded bangle? I adore it!

Add some chain bracelets or even leather!

Hello! I was wondering if you could do me a HUGE favour... would you mind posting a model pic of your RG thin Love & a DBTY (I think you have either a T&co or Cartier one)? This is the exact combo I'm considering & you are the same wrist size as me. I don't have a chance to try on this combination before buying. Thanks so much

Rolex does the same thing ... I think it's a more complicated alloy when you're changing the natural color of gold that much. And maybe it's just because they can.

Thank you SO MUCH. It has really put my mind at ease - it'll be a great stack! I had a couple of questions. What ct size is your YG DBTY? Also, are your DBTYs pretty much fixed there on your wrist? I would need to shorten mine & I know it needs to be somewhat tight so not to scratch the Love

Fantastic! My YG DBTY is .08 carat. My Tiffany DBTYs have a little more room to go up my wrist, but are still pretty fitted. Whereas, my Cartier bracelet is so fitted that it is a challenge to put it on myself. All three bracelets still have a little room to move around which is important for stacking. The best advice I can give you is to fit your bracelet as tight as it can go with you still being able to put it on by yourself.

Thanks for your advice. Wondering if I will struggle stacking the two. I'm worried the DBTY will go over the top of the Love & scratch it, as well as the Love covering the DBTY completely & hiding it!!

If your DBTY is fitted enough, it wouldn’t be possible for it to go over your Love. Although, the Love may go over the DBTY occasionally. I wear the Cartier bracelet all the time and don’t really experience this. It does happen a little with my other DBTYs because they are a little looser. The key is to have a tight fit. I wouldn’t worry about scratches either. Everything else you do is going to cause a lot more scratches than a dainty chain bracelet.
