My ring arrived! It's gorgeous...but I'm feeling in a bit of a conundrum. I had wanted it for my left hand to add a bit of yellow to that hand since everything else is white. However it is a wee tight - wearable but I can tell it would be uncomfortable if my fingers swelled. Guess I should have heeded the sizing chart on the Cartier website!

It's amazing how much variation there is in sizing on this vs the JUC. See the pic of them together - the JUC is 50 and the Love is 53, yet they look the same size (I understand it's because of the nailhead on the JUC)! The other option is to stack it with my JUC on my right hand...I actually really like how this looks, but kinda defeats the purpose of adding yellow gold to my left hand.

I can return for store credit, though there's nothing else from there I want at the moment. What would you do?

Aww, so sorry that happened. I too found I had to size up in the Love ring (though I ultimately returned because I didn’t find it comfortable even sizing up).

Okay, so my honest opinion is that the Love ring on your left hand doesn’t add much. I love your wedding set and watch, and somehow the Love ring worn on the index finger looks a bit out of place. But please ignore me if you love having yellow gold there! I understand things may look different in real life compared to a picture.

So personally, if you absolutely love the ring then keep and wear on your right hand. If you are so-so on stacking with the JUC, then return for store credit (hopefully it doesn’t expire), and hope that something pops up there in the future you like.

Thank you - I do really appreciate the honest feedback and am leaning towards what you're suggesting. They actually do have a LV nano Alma I could exchange the ring for, but don't think that would fit my phone! Ugh!

I've been wearing it a bit, switching between fingers and hands, and it's REALLY starting to grow on me stacked with the small JUC. Though it wasn't my intention, it actually makes the JUC pop, fit better and spin less, so now I'm leaning towards keeping and not worrying about any yellow gold on my left hand. Hmmmmm....:yes:

I think it looks great stacked! I know what you mean about wanting to add some yellow to the left hand. I’m in the same boat but the yellow gold on my left hand never looks quite right. I think your end result is better!

I am now the proud owner of a white gold, single diamond, Cartier Love wedding band. I have wanted one for years, so I said this year is the year (this year is our Sweet 16). I plan to wear it stacked with an eternity band I got for our 10th anniversary, and my e-ring. Although I'm actually getting a new ring as well. I also plan to wear it alone sometimes. I love it, its so pretty. The only thing is I have to wear it slightly to the side as my solitaire covers the diamond. Now I want all the Cartier. I want a ring for my right hand. My right ring finger is slightly bigger so I actually had them size it for my right hand, so now it fits both hands well.

Any tips, things I should know as a new owner?
